Am F Am F Am F C Am
[Verse 1]
Am F C G
In the City of the Elms where we smoked in the stalls
Am F C G
In our rogue adolescence, we tore up the halls
Am F C G
She caught my eye across the room, with a wink and a tip of the hood
F G Am G
We waited for the moment, then we shot to the woods
[Verse 2]
Am F C G
She smoked a makeshift pipe and carved her name in a stone
Am F C G
In the wall of an abandoned old colonial home
Am F C G
Now remnants of her living days are names in a wall
F G Am
They'll be gone with the ashes when they crumble and fall
F G Am G
Gone with the ashes when they crumble and fall
[Chorus]
F C G Am
And I can't remember the rhythm they played
F C G Am
And I can't remember the rhythm of her name
F C G Am
And I can't remember the rhythm they played
F C G
I can't remember the rhythm of her name

[Verse 3]
Am F C G
The doors were always knockin' like a train come alive
Am F C G
Their names, I couldn't say, but their faces survived
Am F C G
We drank the beers and sung the cheers and wore our voices out
F G Am G
We polished off the bottle that she stole from the house
[Verse 4]
Am F C G
And like a group of vagrants round a fire alight
Am F C G
Contented, drunk and careless, like a teenage night
Am F C G
I still remember the room in which she pulled me away
F G Am
And now I'm callin' out her name in a moment of grey
F G Am G
I'm callin' out her name in a moment of grey
[Chorus]
F C G Am
And I can't remember the rhythm they played
F C G Am
And I can't remember the rhythm of her name
F C G Am
And I can't remember the rhythm they played
F C G
I can't remember the rhythm of her name

[Verse 5]
Am F C G
You could count the years in ashes, you could count 'em in stone
Am F C G
You'll never stop the time with all the watches you own
Am F C G
The stillness in her casket with the ghost of a smile
F G Am
Was frozen for a moment, if not only a while
F G Am
Frozen for a moment, if not only a while
[Chorus]

And I can't remember the rhythm they played
