Every Subway Car by Barenaked Ladies
Every Subway Car
I´m not entirely sure, but I believe Kevin uses a capo on the 2nd fret, and even
if he doesn´t, I find this song very easy to play as such, so that´s how I´m going to write this.
Whenever you see (D A G) written, it´s to be played like this:
e|-----------------------|
B|---3--3--2--2--0--0----|
G|---2--2--2--2--0--0----|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|
Capo 2nd fret
Asus2 - X02200
G - 320033
D - XX0232
Bm - X24432
A - X02220
F#m - 244222

Bm D
My backpack was faded black
A
But now it's all blue
F#m Bm D
It looks whack, but it's compact
A F#m
And works like brand-new
Bm D (D A G)
F#m Bm D
I had found an old Greyhound
A
But it wasn't my scene
F#m Bm D
I'm underground at the turnaround
A F#m
This one is pristine
Bm D
Warehouses above
(D A G)
All I'm thinking of
Bm D
You gave your heart to me
(D A G)
And soon the world will see
Bm D
Our graffiti love
(D A G)
Spray paint on my glove
Bm D
They'll wonder who you are
(D A G)
On every subway car
Bm D
I'm on my own – I'm Sly Stallone
A
I did it for you
F#m Bm D
But I've outgrown my wings and flown
A
Into something brand new
F#m Bm D
I show restraint; I'm the patron saint
A
Of urban gardens in bloom
F#m Bm D
If I don't faint ingesting paint
A F#m
Breathing all of these fumes
Bm D
Warehouses above
(D A G)
All I'm thinking of
Bm D
You gave your heart to me
(D A G)
And soon the world will see
Bm D
Our graffiti love
(D A G)
Spray paint on my glove
Bm D
They'll wonder who you are
(D A G)
On every subway car
A G D
On every subway car you look amazing
A G D
While streaming out of bars, their glasses raising
A G
Systemically refused
D G
Then chemically removed
Bm D A F#m (x2)
Bm D
Warehouses above
(D A G)
All I'm thinking of
Bm D
You gave your heart to me
(D A G)
And soon the world will see
Bm D
Our graffiti love
(D A G)
Belted on my glove
Bm D
They'll wonder who you are
(D A G)
On every subway car
Bm D
Our graffiti love
(D A G)
On every subway car
Bm D
Our graffiti love
(D A G)
On every subway car
