"MCMXIV" by Ratboys (official video) chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
February 3rd was planned.
[Em] I had to be present to [D] ride [A] on the bus.
Now I walked around Chicago
for hours on end.
[Em] Woke up to someone watching me [D] in long fashion.
[A]
Nobody around me spoke
a word.
[Em] The entire afternoon, [D] nothing was said.
[A] I could enter into the joyous sights.
[Em] With great effort I left the [D] notice hours.
[A]
[C#m] I had no [Bm] idea what to speak [A] about you.
[C#m] You
have no [Bm] idea how much I [E] needed you on [D] this [A] occasion.
It was so sad.
It was so sad.
Making
my way back home.
[Em] It was bizarre to say the least [D] because I wasn't alone.
[A] In a boat moored
by Peru.
That one [Em] show where your mouth would fluid motion of a [D] smile or collapse [A] in the
sea.
[C#m] [Bm] I had no idea what to [A] speak about you.
[C#m] You have no [Bm] idea how much [E] I needed you.
On
[D] this occasion it was so [E] sad.
[B] On this [D] occasion it was [C] so [B] sad.
[A]
[G]
[F] [A] All I am is just [G]
[F] [A]
a [G] Rathbun.
All I [F] am is just a [A] Rathbun.
All I am is just a [G] Rathbun.
[A]
The roads continued down.
[Em] Actually
down to [A] the south as it's known.
I didn't see much of Nashville that day.
[Em] The Romanesque
[A] cathedral built in 1914.
[D] [A]

[Em] [A]
