City Song Emmy the Great
I figured this out from a live acoustic version so I'm not totally sure if the full
is the same but this is good enough to strum along to.
Capo 3
[G]The city called me so I c[Em7]ame
[Am]It isn't mine to question what it [D]said
[G]I sleep until the point when I'm a[Em7]wake
[Am]I walk until there's nothing left to [D]trek
[G]And everyone is looking for an ans[Em7]wer
[Am]And everyone is waiting for a bre[D]ak
[G]I came and I was bored of it soon af[Em7]ter
But I [Am]had
[D7]nowhere to go and so I stay[Am]ed
[D7]I dreamed a lifetime of this p[Am]lace
[D7]It seemed an awful thing to w[G]aste
[C/D/G/G/C/D]
[G]Well the morning fills my mouth up with dec[Em7]ay
[Am]I like it, it reminds me how you tas[D]te
[G]Sometimes I feel you rising up behind me[Em7] like the wind
[Am]But I still try to look away[D]
[G]What will you look like when you're o[Em7]ld?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
[Am]What will I do if I don't know yo[D]u?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)
[G]I guess that I decided not to ask the [Em7]day
I took the r[Am]oad
[D7]Down to the city as it cal[Am]led
[D7]Sun making silhouettes of ga[Am]uze
[D7]I don't remember you at [G]all
[C/D/G/G/C/D]
[G]The city called me and I c[Em7]ame
[Am]It isn't mine to question [D]why
[G]Sometimes the clouds will rise ahea[Em7]d, I hear your name
[Am]It's like a choir in the s[D]ky
[G]What will you look like when you're [Em7]old?
(What will you look like when you're old?)
[Am]What will I do if I don't know y[D]ou?
(What will I do if I don't know you?)
[G]I guess that I decided not to know the [Em7]day I took the [Am]road
[D7]Down to the city as it cal[Am]led
[D7]Sun making silhouettes of g[Am]auze
[D7]I don't remember you at [G]all
C/D/G/G x3
[C/D/Am]
[D7]They pulled a human from my [Am]waist
[D7]It had your mouth, it had your [Am]face
[D7]I would have kept it if I'd s[G]tayed.
Enjoy, Mike x
