Five Years Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

one thing to note beforehand is that in the song the G & E minor chords are linked

by two notes; G & F#. this link should be played as follows:

G pushing through the market square

Em so many mothers sighing

Am news had just come over, we have

C Five years left of crying

G news guy wept and told us

  he said Emearth, was really dying

Am cried so much his face was wet

  then i knewC, he was not lying

  i heard tGelephones, opera house, favourite melodies

  there were Emboys toys, electric guns and TVs

  mCy brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare

  i had to Amcram so many things to store everything in there

  and all the fatC, skinny people

Am and all the tall shortC, people

Am and all the nobody peoGple

C and all the somebody peoDple

  never thought i'd need, so many Ampeople C

G girl my age went off her head

Em hit some tiny children

Am and if the black hadn't have pulled her off

  then i tChink, she would have killed them

G soldier with a broken arm

Em used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac

Am cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest

  and a qCueer threw up at the sight of that, well

G think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour

Em drinking milkshakes cold and long

  Amsmiling and waving and looking so fine

  C don't think you knew you were in this song

  Gand it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor

  Emand i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there

  Amyour face, your waist, the way that you talk

  C i miss you you're beautiful

G we got five years stuck on my eyes

Em five years, what a surprise, we got

Am five years, my brain hurts alot

C five years, that's all we got

G (ending chords are Gs)

we got, five years
