Pretty simple song, but none of the verses or choruses are quite the same,
and there's a half phrase in the middle, so be careful. You can throw a
low open e as you switch between G and C chords in the first part of the
verses. If you listen to the strumming in the first verse you can hear it.
Intro: G C x2
[G] [C]

[G] I took a plane, I took a train
Ah, who [C]cares, you always end up in the [G]city[C]
[G] I said to Carl, look up for once
see[C] just how the sun sets in the[G] sky[C]
[G] I said to John, do you think the girls here
[C]Ever wonder how they got so [G]pretty
Well, [Em]I do
Am C x3
Look out upon the myriad harbour x3
G C x2
[G] All the boys with their homemade microphones
[C] have very interes[G]ting sound[C]
All the [G]girls falling to ruin dropping out of sc[C]hool,
breaking Daddy's heart just to hang a[G]round[C]
I [G]walked into the local record [C]store and asked for
An A[G]merican music an[C]thology
It sounds [Em]fun. They tore my skirt.
[Am] Stuck it on the walls at P.S. [C]1
