This is my first time ever working out the chords by ear - dunno if they're 100%
right (I expect not) but it work playing along to the song! As with lots of
Regina's songs the singing isn't always on the beat with the chord so it helps to
listen to the original to get the feel :3
[Cm]All the rowboats in th[Gm]e paintings
[Abm] Th[Fm]ey keep trying to row away
[Cm]And the captains ' worrie[Gm]d faces
[Abm] Sta[Fm]y contorted and staring at the waves
[Cm]They'll keep hanging in their [Gm]gold frames
[Abm] Fo[Fm]r forever, forever and a day
[Cm]All the rowboats in th[Gm]e oil paintings
[Abm] Th[Fm]ey keep trying to row away, row away
[Cm]Hear them whispering French and [Gm]German
[Abm] Du[Fm]tch, Italian, and Latin
[Cm]When no one's looking I touch a s[Gm]culpture
[Abm] Marble,[Fm] cold, and soft as satin
[Cm]But the most special are the most l[Gm]onely
[Abm] God[Fm], i pity the violins
[Cm]In glass coffins they[Gm] keep coughing
[Abm] Th[Fm]ey've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
[Cm] [Gm] [Abm]La La La La [Fm]La
[Abm]La La La La La [Fm]La
[Cm]First there's lights out, then t[Gm]here's lock up
[Abm] Ma[Fm]sterpieces serving maximum sentences
[Cm]It's their own fault for [Gm]being timeless
[Abm] The[Fm]re's a price you pay and a consequence
[Cm]All the galleries, the[Gm] museums
[Abm] Her[Fm]e's your ticket, welcome to the tombs
[Cm]They're just public mausol[Gm]eums
[Abm] Th[Fm]e living dead fill every room
[Cm]But the most special are the [Gm]most lonely
[Abm] Go[Fm]d, i pity the violins
[Cm]In glass coffins they[Gm] keep coughing
[Abm] Th[Fm]ey've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
[Cm]They will hang there in their [Gm]gold frames
