Shore To Shore by Johnny Flynn
Shore To Shore
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
C F C
Shore to shore got some land between
C F C
Island life is living through a cup of broken queens
Dm F
hit the jackpot rolling through a pipe dream in a knot
Am F C
and I'm missing what was pissing up the wall that I forgot
G
I forgot
F
I forgot
Am - G - C - F - Am - G - C
C F C
I am the masked rider, give me some grace
C F C
You've never seen me and you don't know my face
Dm F
She was no Hattie Carroll, it was cold, it was blue
Am F C
And it only happened despite me or you
G F
Me or you, me or you
C F C
Smoking paper to the crimson flashing bars
C F C
Drinking cocktail wine or cottage cream and passing strangers' cars
Dm F
Live in one room housing with a roof to meet the sky
Am F C
Spelling Jesus won't you please us 'cos you seem a damn nice guy
G F
Damn nice guy, damn nice guy
C F C
We listened to passengers stamping old songs
C F C
And we lose what's to lose when you haven't done wrong
Dm F
Drums too slow for a funeral beat
Am F C
No strumming of strings and no stamping of feet
G F
Of feet, of feet
C F C
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me
C F C
And it's not so hard to see you smoking fags and drinking tea
Dm F
It's the crummy lost at seasick with a floating on the waves
Am F C
To join the other flotsam with the ripped up queens and knaves
G F
Queens and knaves, queens and knaves
C F C
There lies a lady, she's gone and she's gone
C F C
She'll be a fine lady before too long
Dm F
But I hit her head and she finished her walking
Am F C
She shouldn't be dead, she was too busy talking
G F
Busy talking, busy talking
C F C
They can fill a cup or two and still disturb the peace
C F C
It's never made it all the way from shore to shore, from west to east
Dm F
I read that independence was a lightness in your step
Am F C
You walked away, I felt so heavy at the start of every day
G F
Every day, every day
C F C
I've been waiting an hour and the bus hasn't come
C F C
I've been cursing my God for the lack of the sun
Dm F
I've been ruined by destiny, lowered by fate
Am F C
And the upshot of this is I'm going to be late
G F
To be late, to be late

Shore to shore, got some land between
Island life is living from a cup of broken queens
Hit the jackpot rolling through a pipe dream in a knot
And I'm missing what was pissing up the wall that I forgot
I forgot, I forgot
I am the masked rider, give me some grace
You've never seen me and you don't know my face
She was no Hattie Carroll it was cold, it was blue
And it only happened despite me or you
Me or you, me or you
Smoking paper to the crimson flashing bars
Drinking cocktail wine or cottage cream and passing strangers' cars
Live in one room housing with a roof to meet the sky
Spelling Jesus won't you please us 'cos you seem a damn nice guy
Damn nice guy, damn nice guy
We listened to passengers stamping old songs
And we lose what's to lose when you haven't done wrong
Drums too slow for a funeral beat
No strumming of strings and no stamping of feet
Of feet, of feet
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me
And it's not so hard to see you smoking fags and drinking tea
It's the crummy lost at seasick with a floating on the waves
To join the other flotsam with the ripped up queens and knaves
Queens and knaves, queens and knaves
There lies a lady, she's gone and she's gone
She'll be a fine lady before too long
But I hit her head and she finished her walking
She shouldn't be dead, she was too busy talking
Busy talking, busy talking
They can fill a cup or two and still disturb the peace
It's never made it all the way from shore to shore, from west to east
I read that independence was a lightness in your step
You walked away, I felt so heavy at the start of every day
Every day, every day
I've been waiting an hour and the bus hasn't come
I've been cursing my God for the lack of the sun
I've been ruined by destiny, lowered by fate
And the upshot of this is I'm going to be late
To be late, to be late
