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