Gold And Yellow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Gold and [F]yellow mermaid
of the southern [C]sea
Open up your [F]honeyed lips
[Am]and speak [G]Spanish to me
[F]Mi hormiga y mi [G]tia y [C]mis[F]
primas argentinas
Your dress [C]is wet from [F]the grass
and [C]you give the bottle [F]a pass
Oh, [G]ashes to ashes and gold
[Am]to gold
The night is over before
I'm tired and we [G]grow cold

[Verse 2]
Mo[C]torcycle [F]jacket and
[C]a pair of boots
From back when all [F]the cowboys
of [Am]Brooklyn [G]had the blues
[Dm]When I [F]look into your [G]eyes,
I can [C]tell you've been [F]crying
I'm gonna give [C]the drummer [F]his
due after [C]I've had a [F]few
Oh, sweet [G]baby Jesus,
come and [Am]hold my hand
I know you told me, I tried so hard to under[G]stand

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C]
[F][Am][G][F][Em][C]
[F][C][F][C][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Drive all night and [F]listen to
[C]the gamelan
A thousand bells [F]are ringing as
[Am]we make [G]it to the dawn
All [F]a- tremble and [G]a- shiver as
[C]you climb out [F]of the river
And we [C]sing [F]a lullahello to our[C] friend
s from [F]long ago
Oh, satin [G]is satin and [Am]gold is gold
I come unraveled, you come unfastened,
and we [G]take hold
