Intro
C# B6 C# Eadd9 Bmaj7 C# B6 Eadd9
VERSE 1:
C# B6
The first to put a simple truth in words
C# Eadd9
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
Bmaj7 C#
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
B6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
CHORUS: (same chords as first verse)
C# B6
Antenna up and out into New York
C# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Bmaj7 C#
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
B6 Eadd9
It's the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
VERSE 2:
C#
Every bone of rivet steel
B6
Each corner stone and angle
C#
Jenga jut and rusted water tower
Eadd9
Pillar post and sign
Bmaj7 C#
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town
B6 Eadd9
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be
VERSE 3:
C# B6
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices
C# Eadd9
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
Bmaj7
Reaching down into the ground
C#
Stretching up into the sky
Why?
B6
Because they can
They did and do
Eadd9
So you and I could live together
C# B6 C# Eadd9 Bmaj7 C# B6 Eadd9 C#
CHORUS:
B6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Bmaj7 C#
Everybody owns the great ideas
B6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C# B6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Bmaj7 C#
Everybody owns the great's ideas
B6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C# B6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Bmaj7 C#
Everybody owns the great's ideas
B6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C# B6
The desire in the patchwork symphony
C# Eadd9
The desire like a distant storm
Bmaj7
For love
C#
Did it come from me
B6 Eadd9
'Cause it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C# B6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Bmaj7 C#
Everybody owns the great ideas
B6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
OUTRO:
C# B6
The way the day begins
C# Eadd9
Decides the shade of everything
Bmaj7 C#
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
B6 Eadd9
For every soul a pillow and a window, please
B6 Eadd9
In the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
C# B6 C#

And that's it. It's a really nice simple song and one of Elbow's best, in my
opinion. I think this tab is pretty accurate but there might be some mistakes in
the timing of chords but it's not too difficult to figure out.
Thanks. :)
