of Montreal – Old Familiar Way (Guitar)

Db                            Bb7
   Neither the flowers on the hill,

       Ebm              Gbm
Or the moonlight on the sea,

     Db   G(b5)     Gb    Ebm
Have ever looked so blue.

    Db   Gdim        Gbm6 Db
And everything looks new again,

        F7    Db     Gb
In that old familiar way.

    Db           Bb7
The view from my room,

       Ebm          Gbm
Of the ships on the bay,

            Db      G(b5)       Gb       Ebm
Had come to bore me through and through.

         Db    Gdim    Gbm6 Db
But they suddenly seem new again,

        Abm   Db7    Gb
In that old familiar way.

    F7       Gb        Ab               Ab7   Db
The delicate ballet of blossoms falling off a tree,

    A                      E
Had long gone unnoticed by me.

    F7              Gb            Db
I'm stunned by what now I finally see.

     Eb7
It's amazing the wonders you can find,

        Ab7
Just by stepping outside.

          Db         Bb7        Ebm           Gbm
There's a skip in my step, a divine state of joy,

   Db     G(b5)  Gb  Ebm
In everything I do.

      Db    Gdim    Gbm6   Db
Cause I am feeling new again,

        F7    Db     Gb
In that old familiar way.

            Db           Bb7
When I'm awoken from my dreams,

       Ebm          Gbm
By a cuckoo on the roof,

  Db      G(b5)   Gb    Ebm
I always join in too. (Cuckoo!)

    Db    Gdim         Gbm6 Db
And every sound sounds new again,

        Abm   Db7    Gb
In that old familiar way.

      F7           Gb              Ab           Ab7    Db
The life I used to know when I was busy, always on the go,

     A                    E
Left me with nothing to show.

F7              Gb             Db
Now I feel that I can honestly say,

      Eb7
I'm living a suitable life.

             Ab7
I'm glad I finally got it right.
