Vampire Weekend – Classical (Guitar)

    C                           G
In times of war, the educated class knew what to do

    Dm                                    Fmaj7
In times of peace, their pupils couldn't meet your baby blues

      C                          G
Four hundred million animals competing for the zoo

             Dm       Fmaj7
It's such a bleak sunrise

   C       G          Dm      Am
Untrue, unkind and unnatural

          C          G              Dm      Am
How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

             C
I know that walls fall, shacks shake

  G
Bridges burn and bodies break

       Dm                     Am
It's clear something's gonna change

             C  G                    Dm     Am
And when it does, which classical remains?

     C                                 G
The temple's gone, but still a single column stands today

      Dm                               Fmaj7
That sinking feeling fades, but never really goes away

     C                           G
A staircase up to nothingness inside your DNA

                 Dm      Fmaj7
Well, that's a bleak sunrise

   C       G          Dm      Am
Untrue, unkind and unnatural

          C          G              Dm      Am
How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

             C
I know that walls fall, shacks shake

  G
Bridges burn and bodies break

       Dm                     Am
It's clear something's gonna change

             C  G                    Dm     Am
And when it does, which classical remains?

   C       G          Dm      Fmaj7
Untrue, unkind and unnatural

          C          G              Dm      Fmaj7
How the cruel, with time, becomes classical

             C
I know that walls fall, shacks shake

  G
Bridges burn and bodies break

       Dm                     Am
It's clear something's gonna change

             C  G                    Dm     Am
And when it does, which classical remains?
