Rhododendron Chords

(ver. 1)
Bloc Party
[Verse 1]
Em       Bm               G      C    Em
   On the   hottest night of the year
       Bm                G           C
Lying      in a patch of rho-, rhododendrons
  Em
A bottle of whisky under my arm
Bm
Trying to count a sky full of stars
  G
I dream of order, I dream of fleets
     C
Of Napoleon in aquamarine
         Em
He said "Linus, put that blanket down
       Bm
You've slammed your door too many times"
         G
He said "Linus, put that blanket down
    C
The world won't wait"
 
 
[Chorus]
C                   Bm
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
D                   C
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
C                   Bm
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
D                   C
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Em              Bm            G                C       Em
When I was your age,     I was comman-, commanding fleets
       Bm                      G            C
When I     was your age, I was soaked in victory
            Em
And now you can't keep a job and you can't keep a wife
       Bm
What a horrible mess you're gonna make of your life
        G
Watched way too many American films
      C
To be John Wayne, Brando or James Dean
Em
Waiting so long for your wrists to get thick
Bm
Waiting so long for the next great party
G
So many questions, so little to say
          C
You don't need these weights
 
 
[Chorus]
C                   Bm
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
D                   C
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
C                   Bm
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
D                   Em
Boy, what you gonna do with your life
 
 
[Bridge]
                     C                    Bm
So you want to be an artist, want to be a singer
             D                              Em
Want to be remembered for what you could create
                    D                     Bm
So you want to be a cowboy, ride into the distance
              D                      Em
Never have to listen or answer to anyone
                    C                        G
So you want to be a boxer, surviving on your instincts
                D                               Em
Relying on your fists and the quickness of your wit
                          Am                      G
Are you bigger than these buildings and the grey around you?
                  D                     Em
Is your pain more worthy than everybody else
 
 
[Outro]
C                  Bm
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
D                  Em
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
C                  Bm
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
D                  Em
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
C                  Bm
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
D                  Em
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
C                  Bm
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
D                  Em
Drunk again in the rhododendrons
