Chords

[Verse 1 - The Albatross]
Bm       Bm7/A
Wise men once said

Gmaj7         Bm7/A
Bad winds are death to a candle

  Bm      Bm7/A  Gmaj7  Bm7/A
A rose by any other name is a scandal

Bm         Bm7/A    Gmaj7  Bm7/A
Cautions issued, he stood shooting the messengers

Bm           Bm7/A        Gmaj7   Bm7/A
They tried to warn him about    her
[Chorus]
D           A
 Cross your thoughtless heart

Bm    Gmaj7
 Only liquor anoints you

D          A
 She's the albatross

Bm      Gmaj7              D
 She is here to destroy you
[Verse 1 - Holy Ground]
D
I was remeniscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and, lord, it took me away
           Gsus2
Back to a first glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme
D
Took off faster than a green light, go
Yeah, you skip the conversation when you already know
         Bm7
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made

    Gsus2
And that was the first day
[Chorus]
    Asus4    Bm7    Gsus2
And darling, it was good

Asus4 Bm7     Gsus2
Never looking down

    Asus4       Bm7      Gsus2
And right there where we stood

Was holy ground
D                 Gsus2
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-ooh-ooh

Bm7               Gsus2
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-ooh-ooh

D                 Gsus2           Bm7        G
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-ooh-ooh, oh, oh-oh-ooh
[Bridge - The Albatross]
G                 D      A     Em   G
 And when that sky rains fire on you

              D       A     Em  G
And you're persona non grata

              D        A       Em    G
I'll tell you how I've been there too

         D          A
And that none of it matters
[Bridge - Holy Ground]
D
 Tonight I'm gonna dance

                              Gsus2
For all that we've been through
But I don’t wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you
D
 Tonight I'm gonna dance

                          Gsus2
Like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance
                        Asus4
If I'm not dancing with you
[Chorus]
Bm7    Gsus2
It was good

Asus4 Bm7     Gsus2
Never looking down

    Asus4       Bm7      Gsus2
And right there where we stood

Was holy ground
D                 Gsus2
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-ooh-ooh

Bm7               Gsus2
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-ooh-ooh

D                 Gsus2
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-ooh-ooh

Bm7               Gsus2
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa-ooh-ooh
[Chorus - The Albatross]
  D        A
I cross my thoughtless heart

Bm         Gmaj7
 Spread my wings like a parachute

D        A
 I'm the albatross

Bm       Gmaj7          D
 I swept in at the rescue

          A
The devil that you know

Bm         Gmaj7
 Looks now more like an angel

D        A
 I'm the life you chose

Bm            Gmaj7
 And all this terrible danger

D  A   Bm  Gmaj7
 Ooh,   oh
[Chorus - Holy Ground]
D
 Tonight I'm gonna dance

                              Gsus2
For all that we've been through
But I don’t wanna dance If I'm not dancing with you
D
 Tonight I'm gonna dance

                          Gsus2
Like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance
                        Asus4
If I'm not dancing with you
