Cathedrals

Biography:

San Francisco-based boy-girl duo CATHEDRALS unveiled their debut single “Unbound” only a little more than two months ago to immediate acclaim. In fact, it took less than a week for the single to exceed 100,000 plays on Soundcloud; to climb to the top spot on the “popular chart” on Hype Machine; and to land the duo features on a host of the most popular music sites.

[Verse]
Bb
We used to come from miles around
Eb/Bb Bb
And have dinner on the ground
Bb7/D Eb Eb/G Bb
underneath those old shade trees
Eb/Bb Gm
And sing the old songs in shape-notes
Bb/D C7 C13 F7
In four-part harmony
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Like "He Set Me Free" and "He'll Pilot Me"
D D7 Gm
And "Anywhere is Home"
Bb Gm
How long has it been
C9 F13 Bb
Since you heard an old convention song?

[Chorus]
Bb
I still (I still) love to hear (love to hear)
Bb7/D Eb Eb/G Bb
Those old convention songs
Gm
That I heard (that I heard) as a child (as a child)
C C9 C13 C7/G F7
When we sang them all day long
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
Like "I'm A Gon-na Walk" and "Just a Little Talk"
D D7 Gm F9
And "All the day long"
Bb Gm
How long (how long) has it been (has it been)
C9 F13 Bb
Since you heard an old convention song

[Verse]
Bb
Gospel songs today
Eb/Bb Bb
have a lot to say
Bb7/D Eb Eb/G Bb
They lift you up when you're feeling down
Eb/Bb Gm
Some have a country flavor,
Bb/D C7 C13 F7
some have a modern sound
Bb Eb/Bb Bb
They all serve the need of planting seeds,
D D7 Gm
so I know they can't go wrong
Bb Gm
But there's none so dear as when I hear
C9 F13 Bb
an old convention song.

[Chorus]
Bb
How long (How long) has it been (has it been)
Bb
since you heard "After a while"?
Gm
How long (How long) since you heard (since you heard)
C C13 C7 F
"Give the World a Smile"?
F9 Bb
How long (How long) since you heard (since you heard)
D D7 Gm
"I'm Wing-in My Way Back Home"?
Bb Eb/Bb Gm
How long (How long) has it been
C9 F13 Bb
since you heard an old convention song?
