O Valencia

The Decemberists

tom:

C   Cmaj7   G / C   Cmaj7   G

[Verse]
      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 an oath 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
