Los Campesinos! – Allez Les Blues (Guitar)

F#m                      A
I pushed your head down, flat onto the page

F#m                A
I held the weapon, flat against your face

F#m                      A
I remembered the promise that I had made

F#m                      A
And turned the pen back, back onto myself

C#m                           A
So you can stick your words of comfort

F#m                               A
And you can take your well wishes too

              C#m        A
We're singing "Allez les blues"

            F#m                 A                F#m
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do

A
Allez les blues

F#m                   A
I know your shape and I know your size

F#m                                                   A
You are the weight of the concrete boots that pulled me under the tide

               F#m                                         A
And now you're marching on to a different drum, leaving my body here without a beat

F#m                                   A
A body drained of all feeling can be nothing but a piece of meat

            C#m                 A
So you can stick your words of comfort

            F#m             A
And you can take your well wishes too

               C#m       A

     F#m               A

Allez les blues

     C#m                     B
This lump in my throat is a knot that you tied

       A                          E
With a flick of your tongue and a wink of your eye

     C#m7                   B
This lump in my throat is a knot that you tied

       A                          E
With a flick of your tongue and a wink of your eye

           C#m
(I've been sitting sidesaddle on the devil's chair)

           B
(I've been muddying upholstery, he didn't care)

             A
(We've been clinking glasses right into the dead of night)

            E
(He burns a fire, keeps me warm and keeps my heart alight)

He burns a fire, keeps me warm and keeps my heart alight

F#m                     A
You pushed my head down, flat onto the page

F#m                  A
You held the weapon, flat to my face

F#m                        A
You remembered the promise that you would break

F#m               F#    A
And now the black blood runs through my veins

            F#m      A            E
'Cause they hold me closer than you would ever do

F#m       A
Allez les blues

     F#m      A          E                 F#m
They hold me closer than you would ever do

A         E
Allez les blues
