Barenaked Ladies

Barenaked Ladies - Hello City guitar tab

Hello City by the Barenaked Ladies

From the album: Gordon (1992 Sire/Warner Bros.)

1st song on the album but not a lot of American airplay (if any)

Jazzy kind of tune.

I had, and am still having troubles figuring out the chords for the part

beginning "Maybe I caught you at a bad time . . ."

I think you could flip back and forth between D and A and the final chord ("on

Barrington Street") would be a G. Open to suggestions.

HELLO CITY - Barenaked Ladies

C7

Hello city . . .

G D

Another night at the Palace,

C C7 G D C Cadd9

'cause there is nothing else to do. (Whoa, whoa)

G D

The same people, the same drinks

C

and the same music,

C7

the same quicksand.

G D C

I think this harbour town is waist

Cm7

deep and sinking fast.

CHORUS:

G D C

Hello city, You've found

C7 G D C Cadd9

an enemy in me. (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

G D C C7

Hello city, (Hello city,) hello city.

G D

Second night at the Warehouse,

C C7 G D C C7

and my mock turtleneck just reeks. (Whoa, whoa)

G D

From the liquor room to the changeroom

C C7 G

to the doom and gloom of the hotel room,

D

I wish this seaside beerhall would

C Cm7

sink into the bay.

CHORUS

Maybe I caught you at a bad time,

maybe I should call you back next week,

maybe half the fault was mine that

the sun didn't shine on Barrington Street.

G D C

It's three o'clock in the morning,

C7 G D C Cadd9

and I'm hungry so let's eat. (Whoa, whoa)

G D

Climb down three flights to the streetlights

C C7 G

and the barfights, we're just taking in the sights.

D C Cm7

I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed.

CHORUS

G

What a good place to be,

D

don't believe them,

C

'Cause they speak a different language

C7 G

and it's never been happy for me. (It's happy hour

D C Cadd9

again, whoa, whoa)

GD G D C C7

It's Happy Hour again. (Whoa, whoa)

G D

Hello city,

C Cm7 G

hello city.
