Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) ♫ Intro: Am F Am F Am F C Am ♫ Verse 1: Am F C G In the City of the Elms where we smoked in the stalls Am F C G In our rogue adolescence, we tore up the halls Am F C G She caught my eye across the room, with a wink and a tip of the hood F G Am G We waited for the moment, then we shot to the woods
♫ Verse 2: Am F C G She smoked a makeshift pipe and carved her name in a stone Am F C G In the wall of an abandoned old colonial home Am F C G Now remnants of her living days are names in a wall F G Am They'll be gone with the ashes when they crumble and fall F G Am G Gone with the ashes when they crumble and fall ♫ Chorus: F C G Am And I can't remember the rhythm they played F C G Am And I can't remember the rhythm of her name F C G Am And I can't remember the rhythm they played F C G I can't remember the rhythm of her name C F C F C G

train come alive Am F C G Their names, I couldn't say, but their faces survived Am F C G We drank the beers and sung the cheers and wore our voices out F G Am G We polished off the bottle that she stole from the house ♫ Verse 4: Am F C G And like a group of vagrants round a fire alight Am F C G Contented, drunk and careless, like a teenage night Am F C G I still remember the room in which she pulled me away F G Am And now I'm callin' out her name in a moment of grey F G Am G I'm callin' out her name in a moment of grey ♫ Chorus: F C G Am And I can't remember the rhythm they played F C G Am

you could count 'em in stone Am F C G You'll never stop the time with all the watches you own Am F C G The stillness in her casket with the ghost of a smile F G Am Was frozen for a moment, if not only a while F G Am Frozen for a moment, if not only a while ♫ Chorus: F C G Am And I can't remember the rhythm they played F C G Am And I can't remember the rhythm of her name F C G Am And I can't
