Cathedral in the Dell - Andrew Bird
Written by The Handsome Family

Things Are Really Great Here, Sort Of

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capo: 2
The strum pattern is very country. To make it sound right, play an

alternating bass line

between strums.

This walk-up is used occasionally between G and C. I'll note it with an G*

[Verse 1]
G G
The cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship
G D7 G G*
Like the hand of God falling from the sky
C G
A thousand stone-carved saints hang like icicles
A7 D D7 C G
But icicles don't take a thousand years to die

[Verse 2]
G
And all of us who worked on this cathedral
G D7 G G*
Or even spent a moment passing by
C G
All of us are swept away like breadcrumbs
A7
What comfort does it bring
D D7 C G
Soaring towers left behind
C G
Towers left behind

[Verse 3]
G G
Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin
G D7 G G*
Where kids race go-carts around a moat
C G
Once we went up there in December
A7 D D7 C G
When all the waterslides and fudge shops were closed

[Verse 4]
G
Looking to find love under the ice machine
G D7 G G*
But all we did was drink in empty bars
