Phantom Limb (Cifras)

Standard tuning - Capo 2



[Verse 1]

G                Cadd9

Foals in winter coats

                    Am

White girls of the North,

F               C

File past one, five and one,

               C

They are the fabled lambs 

     D

of Sunday ham,

     Am

The EHS norm





[Verse 2]

                 G                     Cadd9

And they could float above the grass

               G    

in circles if they tried

    F              C

A latent power I know they hide

              C      

To keep some hope alive

        D         

that a girl like I

       Am

could ever try,

            G

Could ever try





[Chorus]

   Em         C                 D

So we just skirt the hallway sides

                 Em

A phantom and a fly

E           C                  D    

Follow the lines and wonder why

There's no connection





[Verse 3]

G                     Cadd9

A week of rolling eyes,

                          Am

and cheap shots from the trite,

F                            C

And we're off to Nemarca's porch again,

           C

Another afternoon

            D

with the goat-head tunes,

      Am

And pilfered booze.



[Verse 4]

             G                 Cadd9

We wander through her mamma's house

                   G

The milk from the window lights

         F             C

Family portrait circa '95

              C

This is that foreign land 

        D         

of the sprayed-on tans

       Am

And it all feels fine

              G

Be it silk or slime



[Chorus]

Em             C               D

So, when they tap our Monday heads

                    Em

Two zombies walk in our stead,

E               C                 D    

This town seems hardly worth our time

     Em          C                D

And we'll no longer   memorize or rhyme,

                   Em

Too far along in our climb

           E             C             D

Stepping over what now towers to the sky,

With no connection







G     Cadd9         D

Oooh waooooooo waooooooo

(repeat 4x)





[Chorus]

Em            C                D

So when they tap our Sunday heads

                    Em

Two zombies walk in our stead,

 E               C                 D    

This town seems hardly worth our time

    Em           C                  D

And we'll no longer   memorize or rhyme,

                 Em

Too far along in our crime,



           E            C             D

Stepping over what now towers to the sky,

With no connection





[Outro]

G     Cadd9             D

Oooh waooooooo waooooooo

(repeat to fade 8x)
