Nathan La Franeer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]had a coach to take me
from confusion to the plane
And though we [D]shared a common space,
I know we'll never meet [Am]again
The driver with his eyebrows
furrowed in the rearview mirror
I read his [D]name and it was
plainly written,
Nathan [A]Lafreniere[Am]
I asked him would he hurry,
but [E]we crawled the canyons slowly
Through the buy[D]ers and the seller[E]s
an[D]d the burglar bells
And [A]wishing [E]wells
With [Am]gangs and girly [F]shows,[E]
[D]the ghostly [Am]garden grows.
The cars and buses bustled
through the bedlam of the day.
I looked through [D]window -glassed streets
and Nathan grumbled at [A]the [Am]grey.
I saw an aging cripple
selling superman balloons
The city [D]plated through chrome plate,
the clock struck [A]slowly, half -fastened
[Am]Through the tunnel,
tiled and turning into day[E]light
Once again I am escaping,
once again goodbye
Lighter [D]symphonies
And [A]dirty [E]trees
[Am]With pucks and plastic [F]gloves[E]
Ghostly [Am]garden rose
He [A]asked me [Am]for a dollar [A]more
[Am]He cursed me to my face
He hated every[D]one who came to
ride and share his [Am]com mon space
[E]I p[Am]ut my bags out on the curb
I stumbled through the door
Another [D]man reached out his hand
Another hand reached [A]out for [Am]more
[A]An [Am]d I filled it full of silver
And I [E]left the fingers counting
And the sky goes on forever
Without [D]meter maids or [A]peace [E]parades
You [Am]feed it all your [F]woes[E]
The ghostly garden [Am]grows
You
