Eliza Gilkyson - Hard Times In Babylon (Live From Austin TX) chords
Start Jamming...
That was 18 years ago.
[E]
I light a candle in your name.
Long past midnight memories bright in the freeze frame.
[A] And I'm asking [F#] [B] myself why.
I see [E] you at the Marriott.
Funny little grin driving those drums like a chariot.
[A] Did it hurt [F#m] too much [B] to try?
Would you [E] were my hero.
A shoulder to cry on when I bottomed out at zero.
And in the hour of the wolf just before [B] the dawn.
Hard [A] times in [E] Babylon.
OK, so you had to go.
Take a walk on the wild side down through the valley of the shadow.
[A] But it just don't seem [B] like you.
Hey, would you could [E] have called that
there's not a man or a woman gathered here tonight in a big [A] house.
We wouldn't run [F#m] to pull [B] you through.
And [A] incidents of grievance.
20 years [E] ago, I thought this was a way [E] that you were.
Leave me alone.
Just before [B] the dawn.
Hard [A] times [E] in Babylon.
You got to hang in there when the air is this [A] thin.
Hand out the [F#] mask for the oxygen.
[C#m] Live [B] for something.
[E] [A] Coming upon [E] a time in our [A] lives
when the little dreams [Bm] live, but the big dream [C#m] dies.
[B] Not for [E] anything.
[C#] [B] Not for [A] nothing.
[E]
[A] [F#m] [B] I [A] know that love don't end.
Nothing I can do is going to bring you [E] back.
Or let me see you again.
And in the hour of the wolf just [B] before the dawn.
Hard [A] times in [E] Babylon.
In the hour of the wolf just before [B] the dawn.
[E] Hard times in Babylon.
Thank you.
Well, I'm going to you know, I want to just want to [G#] say that this song at KGSR
and Austin have done so much to make this song go around.
I know that tens of dollars are going to come to my way in about six months.
I'm pretty excited [A#] about it.
[A] [E] [B] And I knew that the illusion of a hit song is really running rampant here in Austin.
I'm loving every minute of it being recognized at Whole Foods.
And, [E] you know, there's some real perks that are happening here.
[A] Now I have to, you know, like think about what I'm going to wear when I go to the market.
[B]
