Gillian Welch

In Tall Buildings

by Gillian Welch
Gillian Welch

Biography:

Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."

Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on seven critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, and two released under the name Dave Rawlings Machine.

G D/F# Em7 G
Someday baby, when I am a man,
Cadd9 D
and others have taught me
G D
the best that they can
G D/F#
They'll sell me a suit
Em7 G
cut off my hair
Cadd9 D G D
and send me to work in tall buildings

G D/F#
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
Em7 G
goodbye to the dew
Cadd9 D
goodbye to the flowers
G D
and goodbye to you
G D/F#
I'm off to the subway
Em7 G
I must not be late
Cadd9 D G D
I’m going to work in tall buildings

G D/F#
Now when I’m retired
Em7 G
And my life is my own
Cadd9 D
I made all the payments
G D
It's time to go home
G D/F#
and wonder what happened
Em7 G
betwixt and between
Cadd9 D G D
when I went to work in tall buildings

G D/F#
And it's goodbye to the sunshine
Em7 G
goodbye to the dew
Cadd9 D
goodbye to the flowers
G D
and goodbye to you
G D/F#
I'm off to the subway
Em7 G
I mustn't be late
Cadd9 D G D
Going to work in tall buildings
