The Walkmen: "Canadian Girl" chords
Start Jamming...
Roy Orbison has been [Eb] a big influence on me and everybody in the band since, I don't know, [Ab] many years.
His voice is obviously, you know, one of the greatest.
[Bb]
[Eb] Welcome to Sun Studio.
[Ab] You are here with The Walkman.
I guess on this record there's a [Eb] lot of talk about trying to sound like him
because it's huge and it's dramatic and we're huge and we're dramatic a lot,
but he keeps it light.
Even when he gets, you know, really down and out and stuff,
there's always something sort of fun about the whole thing
and I think that was really important to us on this record was, you know,
don't get too down and out or just don't, you know.
[Gm] If it's dramatic, it's got to [Bb] be fun, you know.
[Eb] [Ebm] You [Eb] are the morning, [Cm]
I am [Eb] the night
I [Cm]
[Eb] was the only one left at the right time
And only [Ab] I
[Eb] still call you mine
Only [Ab] I
[Eb] that's still [Fm] hanging on
[Eb] [Ebm] Blown [Eb] by a strong wind
[C] Flooded with [Eb] fear
[Ebm] All that [Eb] you said to me
[Bb] Is [Eb] still so very clear
So take my [Ab] hand
The
[Eb] players of the band
They can [Ab] always,
[Eb] always find
Some number that we [Ab] know
You [Eb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Ab]
will miss [Dm] me
[G] When [Eb] I am gone
But [Ab] the happy music
Will carry [Dm] on
You [Bb] [Eb] are the morning, I [Ab] am the night
I was the only [Bb] one [Eb] left at the right time
And [Abm] only I [Ab]
[Eb] still call you mine
[Abm] Only I [Ab]
[Eb] [F] that's still hanging on
