The Handsome Family – Drinking Beer On The Roof (Guitar)

               G      D      G
I could have stayed there forever

      C             G
That rooftop in Chicago

 C                G
Watching the helicopters

 Am                   D        D7
Circling around the smokestacks

     G        D       G
And listening to you laughing

        C              G
As the sun kissed the buildings

C                  G
After we stayed up all night

          D           G
Drinking beer on the roof

C
All those empty cans

G               C
Shining in the sunlight

        G             C
As we stood upon our tower

    Am                D
Of brick and tar and soot

         G        D         G
And the cars so small and quiet

 C                    G
Filled the streets below

C                  G
After we stayed up all night

          D           G
Drinking beer on the roof

    G      D     G
As every sleepy pigeon

C                  G
Under the rusted trestle

C                 G
Tucked its dusty head

Am                D  D7
Beneath a folded wing

      G     D           G
The clouds kissed the smokestacks

         C           G
And the helicopters sang

C                  G
After we stayed up all night

          D           G
Drinking beer on the roof

     C
And you shone like an apple

     G                C
All tangled hair and laughter

        G                     C
And it seemed the sun might stay there

        Am               D   D7
At the very edge of the world

G       C      G
Making silver wonders

   C                G
Of every crumbling building

C                  G
After we stayed up all night

          D           G
Drinking beer on the roof
