Chords

This song is off of Elbow's sixth album "The Take Off and Landing Of Everything". The chord sequence repeats throughout the whole song but the timing can be a bit tricky. Try and learn the barre chords for this as I think it sounds a lot better but if you're not confident then you can use the open chords. Chords: Barre Open (easier) EADGBe EADGBe B- 799877 x24442 A6- 57x675 x02222 Amaj7 5x665x x02120 Eadd9- 022102 022102 INTRO: B A6 B Eadd9 Amaj7 B A6 Eadd9 VERSE 1:
B                                  A6
The first to put a simple truth in words 

          B                           Eadd9
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar 

       Amaj7                     B
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas 

        A6                                     Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner 
CHORUS: (same chords as first verse)
  B                         A6
Antenna up and out into New York 

    B                                   Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers 

    Amaj7                            B
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk 

         A6                                 Eadd9
It's the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko 
VERSE 2:
B                     
Every bone of rivet steel 

     A6
Each corner stone and angle 

      B
Jenga jut and rusted water tower 

Eadd9
Pillar post and sign 

      Amaj7                           B         
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town 

        A6                              Eadd9   
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be 
VERSE 3:
B                      A6       
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices 

           B                                Eadd9 
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub 

         Amaj7
Reaching down into the ground 

           B
Stretching up into the sky 
Why?
  A6
Because they can 
They did and do
   Eadd9
So you and I could live together 
B A6 B Eadd9 Amaj7 B A6 Eadd9 B CHORUS:
                        A6
Oh my god, New York can talk 

    B                                  Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers 

Amaj7                     B
Everybody owns the great ideas 

        A6                                     Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner 

B                          A6
   Oh my god, New York can talk 

    B                                  Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers 

Amaj7                       B
Everybody owns the great's ideas

And it feels like there's a big one round the corner 

B                          A6
   Oh my god, New York can talk 

    B                                    Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers 

Amaj7                       B
Everybody owns the great's ideas 

       A6                                      Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner 

    B                       A6
The desire in the patchwork symphony 

     B                    Eadd9
The desire like a distant storm 

    Amaj7
For love 

       B
Did it come from me 

          A6                                     Eadd9
'Cause it feels like there's a big one round the corner 

B                           A6
   Oh my god, New York can talk 

    B                                   Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers 

Amaj7                     B
Everybody owns the great ideas 

        A6                                     Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner 
OUTRO:
B                A6
  The way the day begins 

B                       Eadd9
  Decides the shade of everything 

Amaj7                                     B
 But the way it ends depends on if you're home 

    A6                        Eadd9                          
For every soul a pillow and a window, please 

        A6                                Eadd9      
In the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
B A6 B ////// And that's it. It's a really nice simple song and one of Elbow's best, in my opinion. I think this tab is pretty accurate but there might be some mistakes in the timing of chords but it's not too difficult to figure out. Thanks. :)
