Biography:
Beirut is an American indie-rock and world music band which was originally the solo musical project of Zach Condon (born Zachary Francis Condon in Santa Fe, New Mexico) and later expanded into a band. The band's first performances were in New York, in May 2006, to support the release of their debut album, Gulag Orkestar.
Condon recorded before Beirut was established: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields.

G Em Am D (x2)
[Verse 1]
G Em Am D G
Uptown, the street's in a calming way
Em Am D G
And outside is warm as a bed with a maid
Em Am D G
And I find it's all our waves and raves
Em Am D (G)
That makes the days go on this way
G Em Am D
Oo-oo-oh (x4)
G Em Am D (x6)
[Verse 2]
G Em Am D G
I heard the sad sound of words
Em Am D G
Spoken from a beak of a wise old bird
Em Am D G
Uptown, the streets are kept afloat
Em Am D (G)
Our ground never leaves me alone
G Em Am D
Oo-oo-oh (x4)
G Em Am D (x8)
[Verse 3]
G Em Am D
He means well, saying, I've got stories
G Em Am D
Of wine, superb, and of course my childhood
G Em Am D
Forks and knives, and a hospital bed
G Em Am D (G)
Where I turned my life over and over again
G Em Am D (x10)
G Em Am D (x2)
