Vampire Weekend – Ya Hey (Guitar)

G                             C
Oh, sweet thing, Zion doesn't love you

                  D                           G
And Babylon don't love you, but you love everything

                             C
Oh, you saint, America don't love you

                 D                          G
So I could never love you, in spite of everything

       Bm                              Em
In the dark of this place, there's the glow of your face

            Am                          G         D
There's the dust on the screen, of this broken machine

      Bm                          Em                              Am
And I can't help but feel, that I made some mistake, but I let it go

C
Through the fire and through the flames

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

                                         D
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name

G                C
Only I am that I am

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

G                        C
Oh,the motherland don't love you

                     D
The fatherland don't love you

                G
So why love anything?

G                                       C
Oh, good God, the faithless, they don't love you

                         D
The zealous hearts don't love you

                     G
And that's not gonna change

         Bm                        Em
All the cameras and files, all the paranoid styles

        Am                     G        D
All the tension and fear, of a secret career

       Bm                           Em
And I can't help but feel, that you see the mistakes

               Am          G       D
But you let it go, Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ya Hey

C
Through the fire and through the flames

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

                                         D
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name

G                C
Say I am that I am

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

G
Outside the tents, on the festival grounds

C
As the air began to cool and the sun went down

D
My soul swooned as I faintly heard the sound

                          D7
Of you spinning Israelites into 19th Nervous Breakdown

C
Through the fire and through the flames

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )

                                         D
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name

G                C
Say I am that I am

 D                     G                     C
(Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo Ya Hey Ya Hey )
