Cathedral In The Dell

 
              
 
 
        VERSE 
 
        (single strum)

  The cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship 
 
A                      D                A   A* 
  Like the hand of God falling from the sky 
 
 
        (strumming) 
 
D                                        A 
A thousand stone-carved saints hang like icicles 
 
    B7                   E                   D    A 
But icicles don't take a thousand years to die 
 
 
    A 
And all of us who worked on this cathedral 
 
                D              A   A* 
Or even spent a moment passing by 
 
D                             A 
All of us are swept away like breadcrumbs 
 
     B7 
What comfort does it bring 
 
        E               D     A 
Soaring towers left behind 
 
            D       A 
Towers left behind 
 
 
        (single strum) 
 
               A 
Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin 
 
A                     D              A    A* 
   Where kids race go-carts around a moat 
 
 
        (strumming) 
 
D                          A 
Once we went up there in December 
 
     B7                      E                     D    A 
When all the waterslides and fudge shops were closed 
 
A 
Looking to find love under the ice machine 
 
                   D              A     A* 
But all we did was drink in empty bars 
 
D                                      A 
Stumbling drunk we crawled back to our hotel rooms 
 
B7                     E                     D   A 
I fell against you and felt your beating heart 
 
                    D    A 
I felt your beating heart 
 
 
        (single strum) 
 
         A 
Well the snow is slowly falling on the ice machine 
 
A                                         A* 
  And the moon shone hazy through the pine 
 
D                               A 
Lawn chairs were thrown into an empty pool 
 
  B7                    E                D  A 
A dog chained to a tree barking at the sky 
 
             D    A 
Towers left behind
