When Canyons Ruled The City

Intro (after bass): D A E x2

Verse:
E
Laurel was a girl I knew, made of 
dirt and stone
Am
Pretty hip in younger years, but now
 she sits alone
       C
With a hundred thousand 
architectural disasters
         E
She calls homes
E
Beverly Glen was pretty, all the 
rich boys loved her curves
    Am
She tried to get the credit 
sometimes

More than she deserved
          C
Like those cheesy 80's movies, 
epitomizing all things
            E
We'd come to know

Chorus: D A E x2

E

family, it felt like an earthquake
          E
When she'd shout
    E
And Silverlake just stood there, 
with her nose up in the air
        Am
Pushing up her horn rimmed glasses 
saying,
                               C
"I don't fucking care about the 
madness all you idiots are buying,
            E

just trying to make a buck
          C
While his pilot was in escrow, he
