Shawn Colvin – Fall Of Rome (Guitar)

    Am
The city is crumbling

     G/B
Like Rome or Pompeii

            Bb
And there’s nothing to do

        Am              D
But get out of the way

              G            C  G
When you know you can save no one

           C  G
How was it broken?

        Am
Like an empty old bottle

    G/B
The ship has gone down

      Bb
The Titanic is sinking

        Am             D
And the band plays on

             G            C  G
And you know you can save no one

           C  G
How was it broken?

F                       C
Seems like a message is coming to you

       G                       Dm7
In the middle of nowhere, from out of the blue

    F                           C
You cross the dark distance and lay down your guns

    G                      Dm7
For Rome it has fallen and

              F
Morning has begun

Am
Anyone’s heartache

    G/B
And anyone’s blues

  Bb
A series of feelings

     Am              D
With nothing to lose

              G            C  G
When you know you can save no one

             C  G
You can save no one?

F                  C
Maybe a message is coming to you

       G                       Dm7
In the middle of nowhere, from out of the blue

    F                           C
You cross the dark distance and lay down your guns

    G                  Dm7
For Rome it has fallen

              F
Morning has begun

F                       C
Looks like a message is coming to you

       G                       Dm7
In the middle of nowhere, from out of the blue

    F                           C
You cross the dark distance and lay down your guns

    G                  Dm7
For Rome it has fallen

    F                           C
You cross the dark distance and lay down your guns

    G              Dm
For Rome it has fallen

                  F    C   G
The morning has begun
