This is my first time ever working out the chords by ear - dunno if they re 100%
right (I expect not) but it work playing along to the song! As with lots of
Regina s songs the singing isn t always on the beat with the chord so it helps to
listen to the original to get the feel :3
All the rowboats in the paintings
They keep trying to row away
And the captains worried faces
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
They ll keep hanging in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
Hear them whispering French and German
Dutch, Italian, and Latin
When no one s looking I touch a sculpture
Marble, cold, and soft as satin
But the most special are the most lonely
God, i pity the violins
In glass coffins they keep coughing
They ve forgotten, forgotten how to sing
La La La La La
La La La La La La
First there s lights out, then there s lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It s their own fault for being timeless
There s a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
Here s your ticket, welcome to the tombs
They re just public mausoleums
The living dead fill every room
But the most special are the most lonely
God, i pity the violins
In glass coffins they keep coughing
They ve forgotten, forgotten how to sing
They will hang there in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
First there s lights out, then there s lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It s their own fault for being timeless
There s a price you pay and a consequence
All the galleries, the museums
They will stay there forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away...
