Belle And Sebastian – Piazza New York Catcher chords

Piazza New York Catcher
by Belle And Sebastian

Tabbed by: CatchingFirefly

This is the easiest way to play this song and have the correct sound. Most of the 
credit goes to squizz for tabbing ver 2, but I have made some changes to things I 
think sound better.

Standard Tuning
Capo: 1st

G                                     Am              EmElope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
Am                            EmI will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
     Am                          DHow many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
     Am                             DHow many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
      Am                               EmOh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
   Am            D         EmA trail for the devil to erase

G                               Am                    EmSan Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Am                                EmPiazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
   Am                            DWe hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
   Am                            DWe hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
          Am                              EmAbout the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
    Am              D               EmThe statue’s crying too and well he may

  G                                Am            EmI love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
  Am                      EmI love you my responsibility has found a place 
  Am                                  DBeside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
     Am                          DCome wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
             Am                                Em“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Am         D              EmMaybe, but not what she deserves

  G                                  Am               EmElope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
      Am                            EmWe’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
  Am                             DA privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
      Am                             DWe’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
       Am                               EmAnd at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
     Am               D             EmIn a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

    G                         Am             EmThe catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
    Am                              EmThe pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
   Am                            DHe goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
   Am                                     DHe knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway 
       Am                         EmBack into the life he wants a confession from the bench
Am               D            EmLife outside the diamond is a wrench

  G                                  Am             EmI wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
  Am                                EmI know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
  Am                              DA lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
      Am                          DYou’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
          Am                               EmThe sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower

Am              D            EmMeet you at the statue in an hour
Am              D            EmMeet you at the statue in an hour
