Piazza New York Catcher
by Belle And Sebastian
Tabbed by: CatchingFirefly
This is the easiest way to play this song and have the correct sound. Most of the
credit goes to squizz for tabbing ver 2, but I have made some changes to things I
think sound better.
Standard Tuning
Capo: 1st
G Am Em
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
Am Em
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
Am D
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
Am D
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Am Em
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
Am D Em
A trail for the devil to erase
G Am Em
San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Am Em
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
Am D
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
Am D
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
Am Em
About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
Am D Em
The statue’s crying too and well he may
G Am Em
I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
Am Em
I love you my responsibility has found a place
Am D
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Am D
Come wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
Am Em
“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Am D Em
Maybe, but not what she deserves
G Am Em
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
Am Em
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
Am D
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
Am D
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
Am Em
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
Am D Em
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
G Am Em
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
Am Em
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
Am D
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
Am D
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for a doorway
Am Em
Back into the life he wants a confession from the bench
Am D Em
Life outside the diamond is a wrench
G Am Em
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
Am Em
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
Am D
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
Am D
You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
Am Em
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower
Am D Em
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Am D Em
Meet you at the statue in an hour
