Decemberists

Decemberists - Los Angeles Im Yours guitar tab

Cadd2: x 3 0 0 1 0

Dmadd2:x x 0 0 3 1

Fadd2: 1 3 3 0 1 1

C C C C Cadd2 C (x2)

C Cadd2 C Cadd2 Am

There is a city by the sea, a gentle com - pa - ny,

Asus2 Em F F G G

I don't suppose you want to

And as it tells its sorry tale, in harrowing detail

Its hollowness will haunt you

Dm Dmadd2 F Fadd2 Am Asus2

Its streets and boulevards, orphans and oligarchs it hears

F Fadd2 Dm Dmadd2

A plaintive melody, truncated symphony

F Fadd2 G

An ocean's garbled vomit on the shore,

F F G G C

Los Angeles, I'm yours

C C C C Cadd2 C (x4) F F G G

Oh ladies pleasant and demure, sallow-cheeked and sure

I can see your undies

And all the boys you drag about, an empty fallow fount

From Saturdays to Mondays

You hill and valley crowd, hanging your trousers down at heel

This is the realest thing, as ancient choirs sing

A dozen blushing cherubs wheel above

Los Angeles my love

C C C C Cadd2 C (x2)

C C# Dmaj7 C#m Dmaj7 C#m C#m D# E . . . (solos)

D D Bm Bsus2 F#m G G A A

Oh what a rush of ripe lan, languor on divans, dalliant and dainty

D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Bm

But oh the smell of burnt cocaine, the dolor and decay

Bsus2 F#m G G A A

It only makes me cranky

Dm Dmadd2 F Fsus2 Am Asus2 Am

Oh great calamity, ditch of iniquity and tears

F Fsus2 Dm Dmadd2

How I abhor this place, its sweet and bitter taste

F Fsus2 G

Has left me wretched, retching on all fours

F F G G C

Los Angeles, I'm yours

Los Angeles, I'm yours

Los Angeles, I'm yours

F F G G C

F F G G C
