Empire State Chords & Lyrics by Guster
Empire State
guitar chords lyrics
Hey friends! Here's "Empire State" by Guster from Ganging Up On the Sun.
An acoustic rendition of this song really doesn't do it justice but it's fun to play
Try to get a your bass buddy to add in some killer bass lines. This song is ideal for
wanting to pick up a quick tune. Enjoy!

(C,F,D,Am,G)
C
Been the crawl of a mountain Been a link in a chain
Been scolded for stealin' Been told to behave
F
Been readin' the forecast Somethin's coming this way
But it's takin' forever I'm too tired to maintain that
C
I'm slow
Been a scratch on the surface Been a clog in the drain
Been melodramatic Been sleepin' for days
F
Been one in a million Been a million to one
This is takin' forever Always seems to return that
C
I'm slow
F C
All hands up, salute the Empire State
F C
Faith be true, you know the way
D Am
Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
F
Fallen walls all around
G
Destroyed again
C
Destroyed again
Been diggin' to China Been a fish in the sea
Been talkin' to Jesus But he's not talkin' to me
F
Been readin' the forecast Something's coming this way
But it's taken forever And I've already maintained that
C
I'm slow
F C
All hands up, salute the Empire State
F C
Faith is true, she knows the way
D Am
Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
F
Fallen walls all around
G
We'll build again
C ( continue for the rest of the song.)
Rebuild again
Been the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
Been scolded for stealin'
Been carted away
