The Waterboy Chords

(ver. 1)
You Am I
[Verse 1]
C                                        Cmaj7
There's a Scottish man, he's frontin' an American band
                 C7                      Am
now he lives in Dublin, though I'm in rows still looking for ghosts
    Ab
oh, Edinburgh, Galway, Nashville, Ulladulla breaking my heart
        C
in four places
 
 
[Verse 2]
                     C                                  Cmaj7
He's singing about a Mississippi boy, who once held the world like a toy
           C7                                          Am
now he's looking down from heaven smoking reefers with Mr legends
    Ab
oh Tupelo, Vegas, Mollymook, Memphis, breaking my heart
           C
In four places
 
[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
        F
And it may not be his greatest damn piece
   C
I'm walking these streets, tears on my knees
      F
All the fisherman and woman in the bonshop are sellin'
 G
Talking with their body
 
[Chorus]
              Dm                     G
the best four places   the best four places, GO!

[Verse 3]
  C                       Cmaj7
A car stereo, pushing me farther down the road
        C7                                   Am
I got a waterboy singing for the king and my eyes are glazing over
      Ab
oh, highway, bonshop, caravan, no plans, looking for a start
        C
in four places
 
[Verse]
C                         Cmaj7
His voice reminds me of what I left behind
            C7                                     Am
and now I'm gonna go fishing try to imagine what to do next time
      Ab
oh ventricle, aorta, muscle and blood building a heart
 
in four places
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   C            Am

F
9 out of 10 stargazers would agree
                C
this ain't the centre of the universe, little old me
        F                                         G
but the tenth sees a face in every constellation while I spin my wheels
 
[Chorus]
          Dm                 G
in four places    in four places  GO!
