STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO
[Intro]
A Bm A D
A Bm A D
[Verse 1]
A Bm A D
Do you still go to the magpie store
A Bm
with the vintage fur coats
A D
and jewellery-laden drawers?
A Bm A D
Do you still talk in hieroglyphs and wit
A Bm
from books you’ve read
A D
and films full of pith?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G F#m
Christ, can we just have a conversation
G F#m
where money and ambition fall away?
C#m B
There’s a garden full of sweet pea and carnations.
C#m B F#
We’ll lie out on the grass there someday, someday.
[Chorus]
G#m Em B
My—y-y, Mrs Dalloway
G#m Em B
My-y-y, Mrs Dalloway
G#m C#m F#
sketching women in summertime cafes,
Em B
so reluctant to go home.
[Verse 2]
A Bm A D
Do you still cry as you pull into the drive,
A Bm
thinking ‘God, is this it --
A D
What it means to be alive?’
A Bm A D
Do you still paint every Sunday when you wake?
A Bm
I recall you used to point out
A D
every subtle flawed mistake.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G F#m
I still don’t know the names of constellations
G F#m
or the true circumference of the Earth,
C#m B
but Christ, can we just have a conversation
C#m B F#
where you are self-endowed with silver worth? Silver worth?
[Chorus]
G#m Em B
My—y-y, Mrs Dalloway
G#m Em B
My-y-y, Mrs Dalloway
G#m C#m F#
sketching women in summertime cafes,
Em B
so reluctant to go home
