Old Crow Black Night Stand Still

Gm                      Bb/F     
 Look at that cloud hang, up off 
                  Ebmaj7
the lookout hills
Gm                      Bb/F     
 That's where my head is, and I 
                     Ebmaj7
keep banging my shins
Gm                    Bb/F       
 There's another world, above 
       Ebmaj7
this one
Gm                              
 That's where I'm trying to 
Bb/F                      Ebmaj9
live, But I get dragged down

Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7
Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7

Gm9                  Bb/F        
There's another world, better 
           Ebmaj7
than this one
Gm                            
And that's where I've trying to 
      Bb/F                      
live, but I get dragged down
Ebmaj7


Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7
Gm9  Bbmaj7/F  Ebmaj7  Ebmaj7

[Chorus]
Gm           Bb/F                
Stand still, stand still, can we 
     Ebmaj7      Bb/F
just stand still
Gm                   Bb/F        
Stand still, come on stand still,
                Ebmaj7       Bb
 no no no no no stand still

[Verse 1]
Bb                           Gm
 This whole town is keys and getting
 along
Bb                          
 All the buildings there are 
F                Ebmaj7
blocking sun and blocking sun
Bb                             Gm
 I know it's you who's rushing to 
the light
Continúa después del anuncio
Bb                         
 With their open mouths and 
F               Eb
appetites, they ate the ground and 
now the sky
Eb
 Roll it out like pigeon wire

[Chorus]
                Eb           Bb/D 
Can't they just stand still, stand
                        Eb         
 still, can't they just stand still
 Bb/D

Eb           Bb/D                
Stand still, stand still, can't 
       Ebmaj7      Bb
we just stand still

[Verse 2]
Bb                         Gm
 So we packed our bags and headed 
west
Bb                             F 
 She said I know a place where 
                    Ebmaj7
they can't get, where they can't get
 us
Bb                         Gm
 She slid my tired fingers into hers
Bb                            Gm 
 And it was sunlight touching 
          F
every curve, every scar,
    Ebmaj7
And this will be the moment that 
breaks my heart
Where the time creeps in and we grow
 apart

[Chorus]
              Ebmaj9       Bb/D
Can't we just stand still, stand 
                       Eb          
still, can't we just stand still
Bb

Ebmaj7               Bb/D        
Stand still, let our lungs fill, 
            Ebmaj7      Bb
can we just stand still

[Bridge]
Eb               Bb
 That's what I'm talking about
Eb             Bb          F    
 Her sneakered feet hardly 
       Eb
hitting the ground
                Bb
Thoughts like a rush hour downtown
Eb             Bb N.C.              
        Eb
 You're either sticking or 
pump-pumping 'em out
               Bb
Drop me in the dark green
Eb              Bb       
 Lock me in the mist of the 
    F         Eb
southeast hill
               Bb
Hide me in the old crow black night
Eb                Bb       
 Hide me from the masochistic 
   F          Eb
marking of time
                     Bb
 I will stand like a mountain
Eb                   Bb        F
 I will stand like a tuckamore 
            Eb
stuck in the wind
               Bb
 Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb             Bb            F
 Listen to the drumming it's so slow
Eb             Bb
 Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb             Bb            F
 Listen to the drumming it's so slow
Eb             Bb
 Listen to the drum of the gulf go
Eb             Bb          F
 Listen to the drum of the gulf 
going
Eb
stand still
