Metropole Chords
Metropole by The Lawrence Arms is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of G with a capo on the 2st fret. It uses the chords G, C, F and Am. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
A few notes:
-
Capo on 2.
- I think the second verse is done in power chords when the band comes in (but it sounds good either way).
- The (G) at the beginning is a single bass note.
C, (G) F x2
C
Brush off the hours of your day
F
I'm buried in the distant dusk
C
Winding past, uncertain roads, history's remapped
F
I'm not together I'm apart.
Am G F
I'm not together I'm apart.
C G F
The wilderness of these streets
C G F
The neon trees shine their lights down on me.
Am G F
Years on repeat.
Am C F
Years on repeat.
Mother I don't even care, I thought I tried
I'm so sorry I never call and I never write
The traffic light blinked a million times
I blinked twice and twenty years went by
Am G F
Twenty years went by
C G F
The wilderness of these streets
C G F
The neon trees shine their lights down on me.
Am G F
Years of defeat.
Am G F
Years of defeat.
