Johnny Flynn – Shore To Shore (Guitar)

 C            F                C
Shore to shore got some land between

  C                    F                        C 
Island life is living through a cup of broken queens

               Dm                                   F         
hit the jackpot rolling through a pipe dream in a knot

        Am                       F                    C  
and I'm missing what was pissing up the wall that I forgot

     G 
I forgot

      F 
I forgot

C            F                C
I am the masked rider, give me some grace

C            F                C
You've never seen me and you don't know my face

               Dm                                   F         
She was no Hattie Carroll, it was cold, it was blue

 Am            F                   C  
And it only happened despite me or you

G          F   
Me or you, me or you

C            F                C
Smoking paper to the crimson flashing bars

C            F                C
Drinking cocktail wine or cottage cream and passing strangers' cars

               Dm                                F         
Live in one room housing with a roof to meet the sky

  Am                             F                    C  
Spelling Jesus won't you please us 'cos you seem a damn nice guy

G              F 
Damn nice guy, damn nice guy

C            F                C
We listened to passengers stamping old songs

C            F                C
And we lose what's to lose when you haven't done wrong

 Dm                           F         
Drums too slow for a funeral beat

  Am                             F                    C  
No strumming of strings and no stamping of feet

G             F 
Of feet, of feet

C            F                C
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me

C            F                C
And it's not so hard to see you smoking fags and drinking tea

 Dm                                         F  
It's the crummy lost at seasick with a floating on the waves

  Am                             F                    C  
To join the other flotsam with the ripped up queens and knaves

G                      F 
Queens and knaves, queens and knaves

C            F                C
There lies a lady, she's gone and she's gone

C            F                C
She'll be a fine lady before too long

 Dm                           F  
But I hit her head and she finished her walking

  Am                    F                    C  
She shouldn't be dead, she was too busy talking

G             F 
Busy talking, busy talking

C            F                C
They can fill a cup or two and still disturb the peace

C            F                C
It's never made it all the way from shore to shore, from west to east

 Dm                           F  
I read that independence was a lightness in your step

  Am                             F                    C  
You walked away, I felt so heavy at the start of every day

G             F 
Every day, every day

C            F                C
I've been waiting an hour and the bus hasn't come

C            F                C
I've been cursing my God for the lack of the sun

 Dm                           F  
I've been ruined by destiny, lowered by fate

  Am                   F                    C  
And the upshot of this is I'm going to be late

G             F 
To be late, to be late
