i do most of my chord transcriptions using the piano , so the root notes in chords like
C#/F might not sound equally good on guitar . you can just use C# and it will sound good anyway .
intro : G# Fm
G# Fm
we landed our heavy hearts
G# Fm
motors with broken parts
A#m C#
we had a deck of cards
G# Fm
it was a start
we’d sit out in the sun
and wait for our skin to turn
you would ask for truth
and i’d look for something to burn
F# C#/F Fm
oh , we walked in a hallowed place back then
F#
on the edge of dublin , the edge of may and june
C#/F Fm
oh , to live in a paper house again
F# C#/F G# Fm
where we grew by the light of the moon , oh
often we took the train
the sky pacing white to gray
when you or i would leave
and the other would stay
and we were all that we had
and breathed in each others words
i would ask for truth
and you’d look for something to burn
oh , we walked in a hallowed place back then
on the edge of dublin , the edge of may and june
oh , to live in a paper house again
where we grew by the light of the moon
you were much younger then
younger than i Am now
i still keep as much an eye as the wires allow
i still keep as much an eye as the wires allow
oh , we walked in a hallowed place back then
on the edge of dublin , the edge of may and june
oh , to live in a paper house again
where we grew by the light of the moon
oh , you know what you are to me
and you know you will always be
note :
lisa plays this with a capo on the first fret , so the chords , for quick reference would be :
G Em ( verse )
Am C ( last part of the verse )
F C Em F ( chorus )
F C ( last part of the chorus )
G Em ( verse again )
