Intro
C A#6 C Eadd9 A#maj7 C A#6 Eadd9
VERSE 1:
C A#6
The first to put a simple truth in words
C Eadd9
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
A#maj7 C
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
A#6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
CHORUS: (same chords as first verse)
C A#6
Antenna up and out into New York
C Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A#maj7 C
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
A#6 Eadd9
It's the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
VERSE 2:
C
Every bone of rivet steel
A#6
Each corner stone and angle
C
Jenga jut and rusted water tower
Eadd9
Pillar post and sign
A#maj7 C
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town
A#6 Eadd9
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be
VERSE 3:
C A#6
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices
C Eadd9
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
A#maj7
Reaching down into the ground
C
Stretching up into the sky
Why?
A#6
Because they can
They did and do
Eadd9
So you and I could live together
C A#6 C Eadd9 A#maj7 C A#6 Eadd9 C
CHORUS:
A#6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A#maj7 C
Everybody owns the great ideas
A#6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C A#6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A#maj7 C
Everybody owns the great's ideas
A#6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C A#6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A#maj7 C
Everybody owns the great's ideas
A#6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C A#6
The desire in the patchwork symphony
C Eadd9
The desire like a distant storm
A#maj7
For love
C
Did it come from me
A#6 Eadd9
'Cause it feels like there's a big one round the corner
C A#6
Oh my god, New York can talk
C Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A#maj7 C
Everybody owns the great ideas
A#6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
OUTRO:
C A#6
The way the day begins
C Eadd9
Decides the shade of everything
A#maj7 C
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
A#6 Eadd9
For every soul a pillow and a window, please
A#6 Eadd9
In the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
C A#6 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. :)
