New York Morning by Elbow
Intro:
B A B E A B A E
B A
The first to pour a simple truth in words
B E
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
A B
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
A E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
B A
A tenner, up and out into New York
B E
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A B
And oh, my giddy aunt, New York can talk
A E
It's the modern road where folk are nice to Yoko
B A
Every bone of rivet steel, each corner stone an anchor
B E
Jenga jutts and rusty water tower, pillar-posted sign
A B
Every painted lining battered, like a building in this town
A E
Sings a life of proud endeavor and the best that man can be
B A
Me, I see a city and I hear a million voices
B E
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
A B
Reaching down into the ground, stretching up into the sky
A E
Why? Because they can, they did and do so you and I could live together
B A B E A B A E
B A
Oh my God, New York can talk
B E
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A B
Everybody owns the great ideas
A E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
B A
Oh my God, New York can talk
B E
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A B
Everybody owns the great ideas
A E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
B A
Oh my God, New York can talk
B E
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A B
Everybody owns the great ideas
A E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
B A
The desire to part sure symphony
B E
The desire like a distant storm
A B
For love, be good for me
A E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
B A
Oh my God, New York can talk
B E
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
A B
Everybody owns the great ideas
A E
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
B A
The way the day begins
B E
Decides the shade of everything
A B
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
A E
For every soul, a pillow at a window, please
A E B
In a modern room, where folk are nice to Yoko
