<< Back to Vampire Weekend Song List
Version 3
The E chords in the verses can be replaced by alternating E and B7 chords
to match the recording more, but the song sounds fine without it.
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E B
A gardener told me some plants move but I could not believe it
F#m A
Till me and Hannah Hunt
F#m A
Saw crawling vines and weeping willows
F#m A E
As we made our way from Providence to Phoenix
[Verse 2]
E B
A man of faith said Hidden eyes could see what I was thinking
F#m A
I just smiled and told him
F#m A
That was only true of Hannah
F#m A E
And we glided on through Waverley and Lincoln
[Chorus 1]
B F#m
Our days were long our nights no longer
A E
Count the seconds, watching hours
B F#m
Though we live on the US dollar
A E B
You and me, we got our own sense of time
[Verse 3]
E B
In Santa Barbara, Hannah cried and missed those freezing beaches
F#m A
And I walked into town
F#m A
To buy some kindling for the fire,
F#m A E
Hannah tore the New York Times up into pieces
[Chorus 2]
B F#m
If I can't trust you then damn it, Hannah
A E
There's no future, there's no answer
B F#m
Though we live on the US dollar
A E B
You and me, we got our own sense of time
[Instrumental]
B F#m A E B F#m A E
[Chorus 3]
B F#m
If I can't trust you then damn it, Hannah
A E
There's no future, there's no answer
B F#m
Though we live on the US dollar
A E B
You and me, we got our own sense of time
[Outro]
B E
