Hudson Vampire Weekend
[Verse]
[A]Hudson died in [Dm]Hudson bay,
The [C]water took his [F]victim's name,
The [Gm]River's rise told[F] riverside,
To [E]change their names again.
(Choral humming)
A [A]stranger walked in [Dm]through the door,
Said "[C]All apartments [F]are pre-war",
We [Gm]laughed and I asked him [F]for his name,
He [E]stayed until the end.
We [A]watched the Germans [Dm]play the Greeks,
He [C]marked the 9[F]9 year lease,
Our [Gm]fathers signed which [F]I declined,
To [E]try and comprehend.
(Choral humming)
[Cborus]
[Gm]Over and o[F]ver again are these[C] never-ending[F] visions,
[Gm]Over and [F]over again like a [C]prize that's changed in hands,
[Gm]The time has [F]come,
The [C]clock is such a [Dm]drag,
[C]All you who [Dm]changed your stripes,
Can [Bb]wrap me in the [F]flag.
[Verse]
The [A]legendary [Dm]wooden gate,
The [C]first established [F]real-estate,
Is [Gm]lost in time like [F]all the crimes
That [E]won this pleasant land.
[Cborus]
[Gm]Over and o[F]ver again are these[C] never-ending vi[F]sions,
[Gm]Over and [F]over again like a [C]prize that's changed in hands,
[Gm]The time has [F]come,
The [C]clock is such a [Dm]drag,
[C]All you who [Dm]changed your stripes,
Can [Bb]wrap me in the [F]flag.
(Choral humming)
[Verse]
[A]Hudson died in [Dm]Hudson bay,
But [C]I was born on [F]Sutton Place,
The [Gm]rising tide helped [F]me decide,
To [E]change my name again.
[A]Some men tend to [Dm]linger on,
And [C]some make haste from [F]Babylon,
[Gm]Some will roam their [F]ruined home,
Rejo[E]icing... till the end.
[Cborus]
[Gm]Over and o[F]ver again are these[C] never-ending vi[F]sions,
[Gm]Over and o[F]ver again like a [C]prize that's changed in hands,
[Gm]The time has [F]come,
The [C]clock is such a [Dm]drag,
[C]All you who [Dm]changed your stripes,
Can [Bb]wrap me in the [F]flag.
[Gm]The lines are d[F]rawn,
The [C]map is such a [Dm]drag,
[C]All you who c[Dm]hanged your stripes,
Can [Bb]wrap me in the [F]flag.
