Intro
G F6 G Eadd9 Fmaj7 G F6 Eadd9
VERSE 1:
G F6
The first to put a simple truth in words
G Eadd9
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
Fmaj7 G
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
F6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
CHORUS: (same chords as first verse)
G F6
Antenna up and out into New York
G Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Fmaj7 G
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
F6 Eadd9
It's the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
VERSE 2:
G
Every bone of rivet steel
F6
Each corner stone and angle
G
Jenga jut and rusted water tower
Eadd9
Pillar post and sign
Fmaj7 G
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town
F6 Eadd9
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be
VERSE 3:
G F6
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices
G Eadd9
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
Fmaj7
Reaching down into the ground
G
Stretching up into the sky
Why?
F6
Because they can
They did and do
Eadd9
So you and I could live together
G F6 G Eadd9 Fmaj7 G F6 Eadd9 G
CHORUS:
F6
Oh my god, New York can talk
G Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Fmaj7 G
Everybody owns the great ideas
F6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
G F6
Oh my god, New York can talk
G Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Fmaj7 G
Everybody owns the great's ideas
F6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
G F6
Oh my god, New York can talk
G Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Fmaj7 G
Everybody owns the great's ideas
F6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
G F6
The desire in the patchwork symphony
G Eadd9
The desire like a distant storm
Fmaj7
For love
G
Did it come from me
F6 Eadd9
'Cause it feels like there's a big one round the corner
G F6
Oh my god, New York can talk
G Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Fmaj7 G
Everybody owns the great ideas
F6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
OUTRO:
G F6
The way the day begins
G Eadd9
Decides the shade of everything
Fmaj7 G
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
F6 Eadd9
For every soul a pillow and a window, please
F6 Eadd9
In the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
G F6 G

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. :)
