"St. George's Lane" by Matt Mays + El Torpedo
Tabbed by Dan Winchester
Intro: C F C C (x2)
Verse:
C F C
She grew up on St. George's Lane
C F C
She drove slow and had a pretty fast backhand
C F C
She always hated it when it rained
C F C
It started out on St. George's Lane
Verse:
Her mother drove a station wagon
It smelled like cigarettes and sand
Until we got it all cracked up on five corners
We don't drive too much anymore
Chorus:
G F C
Blue days & black nights
G F G F
Back in a time when everything was right
G F C F
Blue days & black nights
Verse:
I took a bus down from Soul Harbour
Just to see the trophies she had won
Her father said she was gonna go pro
So don't you get too close to her
No, don't you get too close to her
Solo: C F C C
Chorus:
Blue days & black nights
Back in a time when everything was right
Blue days & black nights
(Back in a time)
Verse:
She grew up on St. George's Lane
She drove slow and had a really fast backhand
She didn't like the look of the clouds above
I ended up zero love
Outro:
Am F C
I ended up zero love (x4)
(lost love in the City of Lakes)
