Machu Picchu
by ze Strokes
[Verse]
Ebm Db
I'm putting your patience to the test.
Ebm Db Ab
I'm putting your body on the line, for less.
Ebm Db
And didn't you know there was a choice?
Ebm Db Ab
It's never yours but someone else's voice.
Ebm Db
Slippin' your body through the street.
Ebm Db Ab
I'm sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheap.
Ebm Db
Wearing a jacket made of meat.
Ebm Db Ab
Sending a letter waved with walls so sweet.
Ab
And now you've heard that...
[Chorus]
Ebm Ab
Waves turn to grey.
Ebm Ab
Life in the shade.
Ebm Ab
A violent cloud.
Ebm Ab
And that's on USA.
Ebm Ab
Running for the rights,
Ebm Ab
Sleep into the sky.
Ebm Ab
I'm just trying' to find...
Ebm Ab
A mountain I can climb.
Ebm-Db-Ebm-Db-Ab
[Verse]
Ebm Db
I'm putting your patience to the test.
Ebm Db Ab
I'm putting your body on the line, for less.
Ebm Db
And didn't you know there was a choice?
Ebm Db Ab
It's never yours but someone else's voice.
Ab
And now you've seen that...
[Chorus]
Ebm Ab
Waltz on the grey.
Ebm Ab
Life in the shade.
Ebm Ab
A violent cloud,
Ebm Ab
And that's on USA.
Ebm Ab
Born on the rise.
Ebm Ab
Circles in the skies.
Ebm Ab
I'm just tryin' to find...
Ebm Ab
A mountain I can climb.
Ab-Ebm-Ab-Ebm
Ab Ebm
Tell us, are you gonna tell us?
Ab
Why do we feel so jealous?
Ebm
Why do we feel so silent?
Ab
Why is it always silent?
Ebm
(I didn't want to ask you baby,
Ab Ebm Ab
I didn't want you to suffer , and everybody is singing .... )
Ebm-Ab-Ebm
Ebm-Db
Ebm Db Ab
Why are you waiting? By the door...
[Chorus]
Ebm Ab
Life turns to dust,
Ebm Ab
And when it turns to rust.
Ebm Ab
Gossip is a truth.
Ebm Ab
A little bit for the lie you took.
Ebm Ab
And why do you look surprised?
Ebm Ab
Ever since I'm in the skies.
Ebm Ab
I'm just tryin' to find,
Ebm Ab
A place for you and I.
Ab-Ebm-Ab-Ebm
I apologize for any wrong lyrics.
If you prefer something a little easier with a capo, then put it on the 4th fret.
Play the Ebm as A Bm
the Db as an A
and the Ab as an E, I believe.
That's about it, I did this by ear so if you guys think something's off, please comment,
and enjoy!
