Pelican Chords

(ver. 1)
The Maccabees


Great song, very simple to play. I tend to barre most of the chords as it sounds 
more like the song. 


A              A              A                   D     D
 So soon we're, so soon we're, so soon we're too old to carry
A           A           A                D     D                                      
 We knew we, we knew we, we knew we only had a little while
A             A             A                   D            D     
 In the middle,in the middle,in the middle,just keep ticking over
A                      A                       A
 And Before you know it,and before you know it, and before you know it,
D        D
parent a parent

A               A               A                   D          D             
 To have it all, to have it all, to have it all and still want more
A                   A                    A                           D           
 One things for sure, one things for sure, one things for sure we're all    
        D
getting older
A                   A                   A                   D     
 So we take a lover, so we take a lover, so we take a lover waiting in the 
D
corner
A                   A                   A                   D   
 Before you know it, before you know it, before you know it pushing up the 
D
daisies

A A A D D A A A D D

       A                     G
And we go back to where we came from
                      
 Like those before and those to come
     C                        Em
And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again

A           A           A           D             D  
 In the end, in the end, in the end nothing comes easy
A                  A                  A                     D 
 So you find a way, so you find a way, so you find a way to take a little 
D
with you
A                      A                      A                       D  
 For the ones you love, for the ones you love, for the ones you love, there 
        D
if they need to
A        A        A                D          D 
 Pharaoh, pharaoh, pharaoh they're not coming with you.

A A A D D A A A D D

And we go back to where we came from

 Like those before and those to come
      C                       Em
And know its the ever and the more

And again and again and again

A              A              A                  D      D 
 So soon we're, so soon we're, so soon we're too old to carry
A           A        A                D     D
 We knew we, knew we, we knew we only had a little while
A              A              A                   D            D
 In the middle, in the middle, in the middle,just keep ticking over
A                       A                       A
 And Before you know it, and before you know it, and before you know it,
