[C#] [F] [B]
[Dm] [C#] [F] [G]
[Dm] Oscar [C#] Wilde died in [F] bed, several [G] floors above my [Dm] head,
Living [C#] well beyond his [F] means, in that crazy Paris [Dm] scene,
Rain [C#] falls down, it sheets so [F] clear, and no one [B] ever calls me [Dm] here,
Traveling [C#] by myself these [F] days, I'm into jazz and felt berries,
[A] Far from that old [Dm] eastern shore,
[A] searching for strange [D] metaphors,
I
[G] [A] [D]
[G] [A] [D] don't want to be another victim of fashion, No I don't want to see my name in the paper each day,
Yeah you can leave that to the young Turks, they're more handsome and dashing,
Posing for popular rises down Laguna Way,
[G] [A]
[D] Now down in the metro, I feel the world start to multiply,
Glass steel rubber wheel, spiked heels, subterranean lullaby,
Met an African francer, a hemisphere dancer, spied the ghost of Braden,
We smiled at the secret we shared, and I hid it like contraband,
[G]
Quietly making noise, quietly making [D] noise, starts with kindergarten [G] toys,
Not too soft, not too [D] loud, just enough to draw a [A] crowd,
Quietly, quietly, quietly [D] making noise,
[G] [D]
[G] [A] [D] followed the beat,
Hey I found myself in this patois spot, outside a blizzard was blowing,
But inside the joint was hot, Zouk songs, rub-a-thumbs, sing along,
The words flew right by my face, you know rhythm and motion,
The flamboyant jam-ocean you cannot erase,
[G] Quietly making noise, quietly making [D] noise, pissing on people's [G] killjoys,
Westpac's only hot [D] mustangs, a [B] telecaster with a [A] twang,
Quietly, quietly, quietly [D] making noise,
[Dm] [C#]
[F] [B] [Dm] [C#]
[F] [Dm] [C#]
[F] [G] [Dm]
[Am] [D] Singers and writers and poets have flocked here for centuries,
This city of light is built upon mountains of memories,
Baritones, saxophones, monotones speak with a voice I've heard before,
It's a lasting impression, a gypsy expression you cannot ignore,
We're [G] quietly making noise, making [D] noise, start with kindergarten [G] toys,
Not too soft, not too [D] loud, just enough [D] to draw a [A] crowd,
Quietly, quietly, quietly [D] making noise,
Yeah, we're [G] quietly making noise, making [D] noise, pissing on people's [G] killjoys,
Not too soft, not too [D] loud, just enough to draw a [A] crowd,
We're quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly, quietly,
Quietly, quietly, quietly [D] making noise, that's right, oh [G] yeah,
[A] A whole lot of [D] beautiful noise, [G] oh come on children, play those, [A] play those kindergarten toys,
[D] Everybody's a [G] drummer and I, [A] alright, [D] making noise, let it ring now, let [G] it ring,
[A] [D]
