Intro
F# E6 F# Eadd9 Emaj7 F# E6 Eadd9
VERSE 1:
F# E6
The first to put a simple truth in words
F# Eadd9
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
Emaj7 F#
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
E6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
CHORUS: (same chords as first verse)
F# E6
Antenna up and out into New York
F# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Emaj7 F#
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
E6 Eadd9
It's the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
VERSE 2:
F#
Every bone of rivet steel
E6
Each corner stone and angle
F#
Jenga jut and rusted water tower
Eadd9
Pillar post and sign
Emaj7 F#
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town
E6 Eadd9
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be
VERSE 3:
F# E6
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices
F# Eadd9
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
Emaj7
Reaching down into the ground
F#
Stretching up into the sky
Why?
E6
Because they can
They did and do
Eadd9
So you and I could live together
F# E6 F# Eadd9 Emaj7 F# E6 Eadd9 F#
CHORUS:
E6
Oh my god, New York can talk
F# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Emaj7 F#
Everybody owns the great ideas
E6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
F# E6
Oh my god, New York can talk
F# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Emaj7 F#
Everybody owns the great's ideas
E6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
F# E6
Oh my god, New York can talk
F# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Emaj7 F#
Everybody owns the great's ideas
E6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
F# E6
The desire in the patchwork symphony
F# Eadd9
The desire like a distant storm
Emaj7
For love
F#
Did it come from me
E6 Eadd9
'Cause it feels like there's a big one round the corner
F# E6
Oh my god, New York can talk
F# Eadd9
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Emaj7 F#
Everybody owns the great ideas
E6 Eadd9
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
OUTRO:
F# E6
The way the day begins
F# Eadd9
Decides the shade of everything
Emaj7 F#
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
E6 Eadd9
For every soul a pillow and a window, please
E6 Eadd9
In the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
F# E6 F#

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. :)
