I had, and am still having troubles figuring out the chords for the part beginning "Maybe I caught you at a bad time . . ." I think you could flip back and forth between D and A and the final chord ("on Barrington Street") would be a G. Open to suggestions. stepdeno@village.ca HELLO CITY - Barenaked Ladies C7 Hello city . . . G D Another night at the Palace, C C7 G D C Cadd9 'cause there is nothing else to do. (Whoa, whoa) G D The same people, the same drinks C and the same music, C7 the same quicksand. G D C I think this harbour town is waist Cm7 deep and sinking fast. CHORUS: G D C Hello city, You've found C7 G D C Cadd9 an enemy in me. (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) G D C C7 Hello city, (Hello city,) hello city. G D Second night at the Warehouse, C C7 G D C C7 and my mock turtleneck just reeks. (Whoa, whoa) G D >From the liquor room to the changeroom C C7 G to the doom and gloom of the hotel room, D I wish this seaside beerhall would C Cm7 sink into the bay. CHORUS Maybe I caught you at a bad time, maybe I should call you back next week, maybe half the fault was mine that the sun didn't shine on Barrington Street. G D C It's three o'clock in the morning, C7 G D C Cadd9 and I'm hungry so let's eat. (Whoa, whoa) G D Climb down three flights to the streetlights C C7 G and the barfights, we're just taking in the sights. D C Cm7 I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed. CHORUS G What a good place to be, D don't believe them, C 'Cause they speak a different language C7 G and it's never been happy for me. (It's happy hour D C Cadd9 again, whoa, whoa) GD G D C C7 It's Happy Hour again. (Whoa, whoa) G D Hello city, C Cm7 G hello city.
