Moving Pictures Silent Films — Great Lake Swimmers
Chords and lyrics for Moving Pictures Silent Films by Great Lake Swimmers (key of C).
Intro
(fingerpicking)
Oh wake me please when this is over
Oh when the ice has melted away
and the hunger returns
I will be the same but older
and maybe twice the man that I thought I was
[G]Where have you [D]been?
And [Em]what have you[D] done?[C]
I've been [D]under the [G]ground
[D]Reading [Em]prayers from [D]this old [C]book I found
[D]Under the [G]ground
[Cmaj7]Saving it [Em]up
And [D]spending it [C]all
On [D]moving pictures
(fingerpicking)
And silent films
moving pictures
And silent films
oh is this the dream I've been saving
oh where the heart beats slower and slower
to almost nothing
almost nothing
almost nothing
[G]I took it for [D]love,
or[Em] at least something [D]beautiful[C]
out [D]there in the [G]spotlight
[Cmaj7]I turned around [Em]suddenly [D]turned around [C]squinting
and [D]saw that it was [G]headlights
and [Cmaj7]in them the [Em]truth
the [D]truth was [C]unbearable
oh and [D]dimmer than
[Cmaj7]bearing down [Em]on these [G]two shadow [C]animals
D (fingerpicking)
caught painting a dotted line
caught painting a dotted line
caught painting a dotted line
[G]Where have you [D]been?
And [Em]what have you[D] done?[C]
I've been [D]under the [G]ground
[Cmaj7]Reading [Em]prayers from [D]this old [C]book I found
[D]Under the [G]ground
[D]Saving it[Em] up
And [D]spending it [C]all
D (fingerpicking)
On moving pictures
And silent films
moving pictures
And silent films
