Boston Tab

by Dresden Dolls


These are the basic cords to the Dresden Dolls song "Boston" off of No, Virginia. 
They may be a bit more complicated on the piano, but these seem to work really
well as the guitar chords :)

This is standard tuning with a pretty simple rhythm (and easy to sing, too)


                                              
All the cities in the world and so very little time, and
                                              
So many different girls, all you have to do is find them
                                                     
There's a wealth of opportunity, you make your plans accordingly
  
A pity that the pretty ones are usually more touristy
                                          
Say, how'd you like to run away from these machines?
                                         
Everywhere the spies are printing out our dreams
                                         
Seven stops in seven different countries, seven page itineraries

Memories thick as bloody marys, Jesus Joseph bloody hell
                       
Right now we're here in Boston
                     
In love with downtown crossing
                                   
New York will still be there in the morning
                 
Come back to bed my darling
                                            
I had Julian and Steve, you had Juliette and Janet
                                                             
You wear your terror on your sleeve for all the men I haven't met... yet
                               
I had Oliver in Potstam you had Elanor in Amsterdam

We're keeping score so carefully we've lost the state we're in completely

Honestly your foot is out the door and I've got scores of offers
                                                   
Elsewhere and keep both feet planted firmly in the air
                            
And tomorrow you can totally erase me from your mind
           
No really, everything is fine
                               
Because right now we're here in Boston
                      
In my apartment in the south end
                      
Forget your friends in London
                 
Come back to bed my darling
                          
You can put the details in a letter
                       
The more embarrassing the better
                           
Right now I can be happy if I choose to
                               
I know that in the morning I will lose you
                                       
And maybe you'll be mad, and maybe I'll be gray
                                    
Before we really understand or maybe it won't matter anyway
      
We'll find out that your mom was right and you'll admit you're really gay
                                 
And maybe we'll wake up in a city far away
   
Or maybe we'll make up, and buy a house
           
And have a dozen kids who'll run away it doesn't matter anyway
                       
Right now we're here in Boston
                                 
In Eden where you almost let your pants down
                                       
Don't worry who these jokes will all be lost on
                 
Come back to bed my darling
                                       
There is nothing in the world that we can count on
                             
Even that we will wake up is an assumption
                                
But I know for a fact that I loved someone
                              
And for about a year he lived in Boston
              (let ring)
In Boston
