Sterling Chords & Lyrics by Strand of Oaks
Sterling
guitar chords lyrics
Capo II
Sounds better if you throw in a bunch of Cadd9's during the C's and a bunch of Asus's
during the Am's.
Not sure if this is how he plays it, but this is how I've been playing it, and I think
it sounds fairly good.
Em
I drank myself to sleep
C Am
Every night of last week
Em
Then I walked to the Boscov's store
C Am
To buy a case of Crazy Horse
Em
Then I dreamt I stayed in the Sterling
C Am
In the same bed as Kennedy
Em
Then Jackie and Johnny and Caroline
C Am
Would ride up the mainline
Em
Then the last stop's in Carbondale
C Am
Where John once found some German tale
Em
And his Irish and German son
C Am
Wrote a story called "Killdragon"
Em
It was a huge hit in the youth group scene
C Am
'Cuz it pledged, to all, celibacy
Em
Em
I saw him comin'
C Am
I saw him comin'
Em
I saw him comin'
C Am
I saw him comin'
Em C Am
And this year I'm gonna work on stability
Em C Am
This year I'm gonna try and keep my friends close to me
Em C Am
And I hope one day to have half as much of my grandpa's integrity
Em
And I saw him comin'
C Am
I saw him comin'
Em
I saw him comin'
C Am
I saw him comin'
Em C Am
I saw Kennedy in the Hotel Sterling
Em C Am
And he told me everything that I knew we'd both been feeling
Em C Am
So we sat on the ledge and looked down toward the West
Em
And that's where I drank myself to sleep
C Am
Just to get some company
Em
That's where I drank myself to sleep
C Am
Just to get some company
Em
I saw him comin'
C Am
I saw him comin'
Em
I saw him comin'
C Am
I saw him comin'
