Intro
A G6 A Eadd9 Gmaj7 A G6 Eadd9
VERSE 1:
A G6
The first to put a simple truth in words
A Eadd9
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
Gmaj7 A
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
G6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
CHORUS: (same chords as first verse)
A G6
Antenna up and out into New York
A Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Gmaj7 A
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
G6 Eadd9
It's the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
VERSE 2:
A
Every bone of rivet steel
G6
Each corner stone and angle
A
Jenga jut and rusted water tower
Eadd9
Pillar post and sign
Gmaj7 A
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town
G6 Eadd9
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be
VERSE 3:
A G6
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices
A Eadd9
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
Gmaj7
Reaching down into the ground
A
Stretching up into the sky
Why?
G6
Because they can
They did and do
Eadd9
So you and I could live together
A G6 A Eadd9 Gmaj7 A G6 Eadd9 A
CHORUS:
G6
Oh my god, New York can talk
A Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Gmaj7 A
Everybody owns the great ideas
G6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
A G6
Oh my god, New York can talk
A Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Gmaj7 A
Everybody owns the great's ideas
G6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
A G6
Oh my god, New York can talk
A Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Gmaj7 A
Everybody owns the great's ideas
G6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
A G6
The desire in the patchwork symphony
A Eadd9
The desire like a distant storm
Gmaj7
For love
A
Did it come from me
G6 Eadd9
'Cause it feels like there's a big one round the corner
A G6
Oh my god, New York can talk
A Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Gmaj7 A
Everybody owns the great ideas
G6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
OUTRO:
A G6
The way the day begins
A Eadd9
Decides the shade of everything
Gmaj7 A
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
G6 Eadd9
For every soul a pillow and a window, please
G6 Eadd9
In the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
A G6 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. :)
