			     CATHEDRALS - Jump, Little Children
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jump, Little Children is a highly underappreciated band and Cathedrals is an
incredible song.  I found several tabs and chords for this song online, but
many of them didn't seem quite right, but this seems to match up well with
what they play on Magazine.  Enjoy.

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Capo on 3rd fret.

Intro:
=======

  /     /

Verse 1:
=========
             /
In the shadows of tall buildings
             
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
          / 
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
          
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
                                   
The line moves slowly past the electric fence
                   
Across the borders, between continents

Chorus:
========
                             
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
                                         
There is a feeling that you should just go home
                   
And spend a lifetime
                           
Finding out just where that is

 /   /

Verse 2:
=========
             /
In the shadows of tall buildings
             
The architecture is slowly peeling
           /    
Marble statues and glass dividers 
                 
Someone is watching, all of the outsiders 
                     
The line moves slowly through the numbered gate
              
Past the mosaic of the head of state

Verse 3:
=========
             /
In the shadows of tall buildings 
        
Open arches endlessly kneeling 
             /
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas 
                 
Someone is listening from a safe distance 
                               
The line moves slowly into a fading light 
             
A final moment in the dead of night

< Play Chorus one last time>
