Chords for The Cat Empire - Song for Elias

_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [Cm] _
_ Meant to meet [Db] you but I couldn't stay
Till [Ab] now never knew [Cm] how life tears you away
Now I wait for the springtime [Ab] in Spain
_ [Dm] _ [Cm] _
_ A beautiful [Ab] being so sad and [Bb] so strong
You gave me [Eb] a story, you gave me a song
When [Cm] he played his guitar she [Ab] would [G] weep
[Cm] My love
So on a rainy day [Bbm] the spirit took flight
[Bb] She made him a cap [Eb] full of magic and light
[Cm] For his birthday to rule [Ab] a great state
[G] A phone bill on the [Cm] page, my love
And why [Ab] did you never [Bb] arrive?
Before you [Eb] left I saw tears in your [Cm] eye
And your mama just [Ab] told me you
[G] _
[Cm] Oh, my [G] love

_ _ [F] _ [Cm] Said he was homeboy, got [Bbm] rhythm with me
Must have [D] put it so [Eb] mildly, her crying face
Rainy but spring-filled, [Ab] more fibrous than humanly [G] everything
[Cm] My love
Nothing sure [Ab] but that love never [Bb] reasons
Now the world [Eb] might have lost all its [Cm] springtimes
And all of the [Ab] seasons are bleak without you
[Cm] My love
