Ani DiFranco - Everest
This is intended to be a simplified version, not how Ani actually plays it. To get closer to
the album version, vary the main chord sequence by adding and removing the upper F# to get
Gmaj7 (320002), G6 (320020), A6 (x02222) and Asus4 (x02230).
[Intro]
D G A A
D G A A
D G A A
D G A A
[Verse 1]
D G A
From the depth of the Pacific to the height of Everest
D G A
Still the world is smoother than a shiny ball bearing
D G A
So I take a few steps back and put on a wider lens
D G A
And it changes your skin and your sex and what you’re wearing
[Bridge 1]
A7 A7sus4 A7 Esus2 Em7 Em
And distance shows your silhouette to be a lot like mine
A7 A7sus4 A7 Esus2 Em7
Like a sphere is a sphere and all of us here
Em A7
Have been here all the time, yeah we’ve been here all the time
D G A A
D G A A
[Verse 2]
D G A
You brought me to church, cinder blocks, fluorescent light
D G A
Yeah, you brought me to church at seven o’clock on Sunday night
D G A
And the band was rockin’ and the floors were scrubbed clean
A7 A7sus4 A7
And everybody ha - d a tambourine
D G A A
[Verse 3]
D G A
So I took a deep breath and became the white girl with the hair
D G A
And you sat right beside me while everybody stared
D G A
And through the open window I think that the singing went out(on)side
D G A
And floated up to tell all the stars not to hide
D G A
Cause by the time church let out the sky was much clearer
D G A A7 A7sus4 A7
And the moon was so beautiful that the ocean held up a mirror
[Bridge 2]
A7 Esus2 Em7 Em
And as we walked home we spoke slowly
A7 A7sus4 A7 Esus2 Em7 Em
Yeah we spoke slow and we spoke lowly
A G Bm A
Like it was taking more time than usual to choose
A G Bm A
The words to go with your squeaky sandal shoes
A7 A7sus4 A7
Like time is not a thing that’s ours to lose
[Outro]

From the height of the Pacific to the depth of Everest

From the height of the Pacific to the depth of Everest
