Montague Terrace In Blue Chords - Scott Walker

Am G 2x

Verse 1

Am G The little clock's stopped ticking now Am G We're swallowed in the stomach room Fm C The only sound to tear the night D Dm E Comes from the man upstairs Am G His bloating belching figure stomps Am G He may crash through the ceiling soon Fm C The window sees trees cry from cold D Dm E And claw the moon

Chorus

A D But we know don't we? G A And we'll dream won't we? F C Of Montague Terrace in blue Am G 2x

Verse 2

Am G The girl across the hall makes love Am G Her thoughts lay cold like shattered stone Fm C Her thighs are full of tales to tell D Dm E Of all the nights she's known Am G Your eyes ignite like cold blue fire Am G The scent of secrets everywhere Fm C A fist filled with illusions Dm E Clutches all our cares repeat chorus Am G to fade NOTES While the chord sequence is fairly straightforward the arrangement plays around with suspended ninths of each of the verse chords (the da-da-daa-da-da motif), If you are feeling ambitious then you could try and include that motif in your chords structure like this: Am G
