Artist: Butch Walker
Song: "When Canyons Ruled The City"
Album: "The Rise And Fall Of Butch Walker And The Let's-Go-Out-Tonites"
Okay, my first one was wrong. Here's a much better one.
I haven't notated the strumming patterns, I'm sure you can figure them out on your own.
Capo on 4th fret (3rd fret live)
Intro (after bass): D A E x2
Verse:
E
Laurel was a girl I knew, made of dirt and stone
F#m
Pretty hip in younger years, but now she sits alone
A
With a hundred thousand architectural disasters that
E
She calls homes
E
Beverly Glen was pretty, all the rich boys loved her curves
F#m
She tried to get the credit, sometimes more than she deserved
A
Like those cheesy 80's movies, epitomizing all things
E
We'd come to know
Chorus: D A E x2
Verse 2:
E
Beachwood was a boheme from the sexy 60's scene
F#m
Grew up east of west Hollywood and somewhere in between
A
All the madness Laurel puts up with,
E
But somehow always tolerates a scene
E
Nicols, he had a way with the performing arts
F#m
A&R guys having cookouts on his back with super stars
A
But he had some nasty habits and some potholes to
E
Cover up this drama queen
Chorus: D A E x2
Verse 3:
E
Sometimes Beachwood yelled at Laurel over terms of selling out
F#m
Then Laurel yelled at Beverly for not knowing what life's about
A
With her trust fund friends and family, it felt like an earthquake
E
When she'd shout
E
And Silverlake just stood there, with her nose up in the air
F#m
Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses saying,
A
"I don't fucking care about the madness all you idiots are buying,
E
Selling and leasing up there"
Chorus: D A E x2
E
San Fernando was a struggling actor who drove a deli truck
F#m
On the sets of porno movies, he was just trying to make a buck
A
While his pilot was in escrow, he dreamed of
E
Dating Beverly one day
Chorus: D A E x12
Song: "When Canyons Ruled The City"
