The Decemberists - O Valencia!
[Intro]
C - Cmaj7 - G / C - Cmaj7 - G
C-Cmaj7 G
You belong to the gang
C-Cmaj7 G
And you say you can’t break away
C-Cmaj7 G C-Cmaj7 G
But I’m here with my hands on my heart
C-Cmaj7 G
Our families can’t agree
C-Cmaj7 G
I’m your brother’s sworn enemy
C-Cmaj7 G C-Cmaj7 G
But I’ll shout out my love to the stars
[Bridge]
Am F Dm G
So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Am F Dm G
Wait by the car and we’ll go, we’ll go
[Instrumental]
C - Cmaj7 - G / C - Cmaj7 - G
[Verse]
C-Cmaj7 G
When first we laid eyes
C-Cmaj7 G
I swore to no compromise
C-Cmaj7 G C-Cmaj7 G
‘Til I felt my caress on your skin
C-Cmaj7 G
Well, how soon we were betrayed
C-Cmaj7 G
Your sister gave us away
C-Cmaj7 G C-Cmaj7 G
And your father came all unhinged
[Bridge]
Am F Dm G
So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Am F Dm G
Wait by the car and we’ll go, we’ll go
[Chorus]
C Em Am
But Oh, Valencia-ah-ah!
F C
With your blood still warm on the ground
Em Am
Valencia-ah-ah!
F
And I swear to the stars
Dm G
I’ll burn this whole city down, oh oh ohhh
[Instrumental]
C - Cmaj7 - G / C - Cmaj7 - G x2
[Verse]
C-Cmaj7 G
All I heard was a shout
C-Cmaj7 G
Of your brother calling me out
C-Cmaj7 G C-Cmaj7 G
And you ran like a fool to my side
C-Cmaj7 G
Well the shot, it hit hard
C-Cmaj7 G
And your frame went limp in my arms
C-Cmaj7 G C-Cmaj7 G
And the lull of love was your dying cry
[Bridge]
Am F Dm G
So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Am F Dm G
Wait by the car and we’ll, go we’ll go
[Chorus]
C Em Am
But Oh, Valencia-ah-ah!
F C
With your blood still warm on the ground
Em Am
Valencia-ah-ah!
F C
And I’ll burn this whole city down
Em Am
Valencia-ah-ah!
F C
With your blood gettin' cold on the ground
Em Am
Valencia-ah-ah!
F
And I swear to the stars
Dm G C
I’ll burn this whole city down, oh oh oh
