Days Of Elaine chords and lyrics - THE DECEMBERISTS

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Those were the days of Elaine
That was the phrase that she
used to describe to [C]her son
Of the [G]fun she had had
[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Long before he went away
Long before days of the dole
and the draze and the [C]lull
But [G]the call never came.
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Bb]To say, [C]oh [D]oh oh

[Verse 4]
Loitering lavender park
Laying about in the day and
the dark of a [C]room
While [G]the noon passes by
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Always on verge of collapse
Mother would quit and then
suffer a lapse from the [C]drink
You [G]would think she was dead
[D]

[Verse 6]
What [Bb]to say, [C]oh oh oh[D]
[Bb]She say, oh [C]oh oh oh
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]
And the time that it takes,
will it [A]go so [Bm]slow?
She laid on the brakes and she
[A]dulled the glow
Now, doesn't it [G]go so slow?
When you [F#]build it up to tear
it [G]down
You're tearing it [D]down
You tear it [G]down
[E]Those were the days
Those were the days of [G]Elaine
The days of [D]Elaine
The days of Elaine
[C][G][D]

[Verse 8]
A lover like Alain Delon
She followed him blind
from saloon to salon
From the [C]hills to the [G]pills he would take
[D]

[Verse 9]
[D]Father had died in the mines
Brother had shown no
remorse for his crimes
When [C]they strung him up he got
[G]all hung up on the scaffol[D]ding

[Verse 10]
But [Bb]he say, [C]oh oh [D]oh
[Bb]He say, [C]oh oh oh oh
[D]

[Verse 11]
[Bm]
And the time that it takes, well,
it [A]goes so [Bm]slow
She laid on the brakes and she
[A]dulled the glow
Now, doesn't it [G]go so slow?
When you [F#]build it up to tear
it [G]down
You're tearing it [D]down
You tear it [G]down
[Em]Those were the days
Those were the [G]days of Elaine
The days of [D]Elaine

[Outro 1]
The days of Elaine
