Jay-z – Holy Grail chords

Title: HOLY GRAIL (feat. Justin Timberlake)
Artist: Jay-Z
Album: MAGNA CARTA HOLY GRAIL
Chords by: A. Chan

CAPO 5

- "add" chords are just the bass notes the piano plays
- Sometimes I drop the word "add" due to space. I am trying to be as accurate as I can 
for the position of the chord over the words
- Feedback is always appreciated!

VERSE 2: Jay-Z

AmBlue told me remind you n**
Fuck that shit y’all talking bout
I'm the n**
Caught up in all these lights and cameras
But look what that shit did to Hammer
Goddammit it I like it
Bright lights is enticing
But look what it did to Tyson
All that money in one night
Thirty mill for one fight
But soon as all the money blows
All the pigeons take flight
Fuck the fame, keep cheating on me
What I do, I took her back, fool me twice
That's my bad, I can't even blame her for that
Enough to make me wanna murder
Momma please just get my bail
I know nobody to blame
Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself

And we all just entertainers
And we're stupid and contagious
And we all just entertainers


CHORUS: JT

     C                              G                                  
      Am And baby, It's amazing I'm in this maze with you, I just can't crack ya code
                           G                                        F One day you screaming you love me loud, the next day you're so cold
                                       G                                      Esus One day you're here, One day you're there, One day you care, you're so unfair
                                                       Am Sippin' from the cup till it runneth over, Holy Grail



VERSE 3: Jay-Z

AmNow I got tattoos on my body, psycho bitches in my lobby
I got haters in the paper, photo shoots with paparazzi
Can't even take my daughter for a walk
See em by the corner store, I feel like I'm cornered off
Enough is enough, I'm calling this off
Who the fuck I'm kidding though
I'm getting high, sitting low
Sliding by in that big body
Curtains all in my window
This fame hurt but this chain works
I think back you asked the same person
If this is all you had to deal with
N** deal with, this shit ain't work
This light work
Camera snapping, my eyes hurt
N** dying back where I was birthed
Fuck your iris and the IRS
Get the hell up off your high horse
You got the shit that n** die for, dry yours
Why you mad, take the good with the bad
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water
You still alive, still that n**
N** you survived
You still getting bigger n**
Living the life, Vanilla wafers
In a villa, illest n** alive
Michael Jackson's Thriller
