Atlanta

	  		 


Intro: 

Bm 


Bm 
I am a bumble bee buzzing around in the hive 
Bm 
I need some company, I am barely alive 
A                 Em        Bm 
I am a crooked stack of bones 
A                     Em              Bm 
I was born this way and I will die alone 


A        Em          Bm    A          G          Bm 
The snow-covered mountain, the murder, the wedding gown 
A      G       Bm           G                    
Were useful to me  only as new words to write down 
G                          A 
New words to write down. 

         D              A 
But in Atlanta in the shimmering rain 
G                                        A 
I was struck by a vision of your face again 
    D              A 
The water running down the drain 
G                                            Bm 
These are the days that will drive me insane 

Bm 
There is so much pain outside these walls 
Bm 
Our parents are in hospital, our siblings are at war 
A                        Em                Bm 
No amount of tears could clean out my eyes 
A                 Em        Bm 
I am drinking my way back down to the floor 

A          Em          Bm    A          G          Bm 
The wide Mississippi, the whisky, the Christian town 
A      G       Bm           G 
Were useful to me only as new words to write down 
G                          A 
New words to write down 

      D              A 
But in Atlanta in the shimmering rain 
G                                        A 
I was struck by a vision of your face again 
    D            A 
The water running down the drain 
G                                            Bm 
These are the days that will drive me insane

The water running down the drain 
G                                            Bm 
These are the days that will drive me insane

 Atlanta in the shimmering rain

I was struck by a vision of your face again
