Emily Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]At the altar of yo[E]ur body,
[D]I was down on my [Am]knees[F][Am]
Flashing [F]in [E]foreign tones
[D]to now dead melod[Am]ies
[F]And[C] I tried to exalt you[F]
[C]As you crucified [F]me
[C]Oh, but I do not fault [F]you
[Am]Oh, Emily,
[F]won[E]'t you rememb[B]er me?[G][Am][G#aug][C][F#dim]
[F]That winter's eve[G],
[Ebaug]whisperin' lo[G]ve,[C]
whistlin' stardust melody
[G][C][Bb][F]
[Gm]Postcards, [C]paintings,
[Bb]and white -hearted trees
I feel you suddenly slowly
in all that [F]I see
[Bb]Dreams that we built on a
telephone wire
Balancing, fumbling,
tumbling through our de[F]sire
I [C]know how one lies to one's [Bb]face
then lies in [F]one's arms
Although [C]I can't have your embrace,
[Bb]I recall all your [F]charms
But if [Gm]what's [Bb]right is wrong
and I wonder about me
Am I naive in even believing
through this mad[Gm]ness [Bb]of ye[F]ars?
Some[Bb]times for pain,
but always for pleasure
Maybe some days as good as never
will [F]be measured in [Am]tears
But if the world should [F#dim]tear apar[E]t[D]
Your old -fashioned [F]heart[F]
[Am]Oh, [F]Emil[E]y, won't you remember
[Am]me?[G#aug][C][F#dim][F][C]
You
