The Decemberists - O Valencia!
------------------------------
Intro: - - / - -
-
You belong to the gang
-
And you say you can’t break away
- -
But I’m here with my hands on my heart
-
Our families can’t agree
-
I’m your brother’s sworn enemy
- -
But I’ll shout out my love to the stars
------------------------------
So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we’ll go, we’ll go
------------------------------
Intro again: C - Cmaj7 - G / C - Cmaj7 - G
-
When first we laid eyes
-
I swore to no compromise
- -
‘Til I felt my caress on your skin
-
Well, how soon we were betrayed
-
Your sister gave us away
- -
And your father came all unhinged
------------------------------
So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we’ll go, we’ll go
------------------------------
But Oh, Valencia-ah-ah!
With your blood still warm on the ground
Valencia-ah-ah!
And I swear to the stars
I’ll burn this whole city down, oh oh ohhh
------------------------------
Intro once again: C - Cmaj7 - G / C - Cmaj7 - G x2
-
All I heard was a shout
-
Of your brother calling me out
- -
And you ran like a fool to my side
-
Well the shot, it hit hard
-
And your frame went limp in my arms
- -
And the lull of love was your dying cry
------------------------------
So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we’ll, go we’ll go
------------------------------
But Oh, Valencia-ah-ah!
With your blood still warm on the ground
Valencia-ah-ah!
And I’ll burn this whole city down
Valencia-ah-ah!
With your blood gettin' cold on the ground
Valencia-ah-ah!
And I swear to the stars
I’ll burn this whole city down, oh oh oh
