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

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. :)
