Artist: The Nightwatchman
Song: The Fabled City
Album: The Fabled City
With most of the song I find that it sounds better to just mute the high e string,
but use your own judgment.
Am G Am C X2
Am C
Me and Harvey shouted slogans in Spanish
G Am
Like it was our world to win
C
Then they move a plant down a hater
G Am
Time to bite your tongue again
F Am
I've seen the fabled city
G Am
It's streets are paved with gold
F Am
But an iron fence runs round it
C G Am
It's iron gate is closed
Am G Am C X2
Am C
What ain't right ain't right he told me
G Am
But something else passed behind his eyes
Am C
No he's downtown on his knees washing floors for somebody
G Am
And quietly biding his time
F Am
I've seen the fabled city
G Am
It's streets are paved with gold
F Am
But an iron fence runs round it
C G Am G F E
It's iron gate is closed
Am G Am C
Am G Am C
C G C G (Same rhythm as main riff)
Am G Am C
Am C
The gas station on Sunset and Crescent
G Am
I met an angel sad and old
C
She lived in the alley behind the market
G Am
In the shadows may be hidden from the lord
Am C
And for a dollar she sang a song
G Am
Sounded more like a prayer
Am C
A wish that her dead mother and father
G Am
Couldn't look down and see her there
F Am
I've seen the fabled city
G Am
It's streets are paved with gold
F Am
But an iron fence runs round it
C G Am
It's iron gate is closed
Am G Am C X2
F Am
On a wire outside my window
G Am
There sit one hundred swallows
F Am
And I suspect that if one flew
G Am
Then ninety-nine would follow
