Machu Picchu
by ze Strokes


Ebm                              DbI'm putting your patience to the test.
Ebm                          Db        AbI'm putting your body on the line, for less.
Ebm                             DbAnd didn't you know there was a choice?
Ebm                          Db     AbIt's never yours but someone else's voice.

Ebm                            DbSlippin' your body through the street.
Ebm                                 Db         AbI'm sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheap.
Ebm                      DbWearing a jacket made of meat.
Ebm                         Db       AbSending a letter waved with walls so sweet.
AbAnd now you've heard that...

CHORUS

Ebm           AbWaves turn to grey.
Ebm         AbLife in the shade.
  Ebm     AbA violent cloud.
    Ebm       AbAnd that's on USA.
Ebm             AbRunning for the rights,
Ebm            AbSleep into the sky.
Ebm                 AbI'm just trying' to find...
  Ebm            AbA mountain I can climb.

Ebm-Db-Ebm-Db-Ab

Ebm                              DbI'm putting your patience to the test.
Ebm                          Db        AbI'm putting your body on the line, for less.
Ebm                             DbAnd didn't you know there was a choice?
Ebm                          Db     AbIt's never yours but someone else's voice.
AbAnd now you've seen that...

CHORUS

Ebm          AbWaltz on the grey.
Ebm         AbLife in the shade.
  Ebm     AbA violent cloud,
    Ebm       AbAnd that's on USA.
Ebm         AbBorn on the rise.
Ebm            AbCircles in the skies.
Ebm                AbI'm just tryin' to find...
  Ebm            AbA mountain I can climb.

Ab-Ebm-Ab-Ebm

Ab                     EbmTell us, are you gonna tell us?
                  AbWhy do we feel so jealous?
                  EbmWhy do we feel so silent?
                 AbWhy is it always silent?
                                   Ebm                (I didn't want to ask you baby,
Ab                   Ebm                              AbI didn't want you to suffer , and everybody is singing .... )
Ebm-Ab-Ebm
Ebm-Db
Ebm         Db              AbWhy are you waiting? By the door...

CHORUS

Ebm           AbLife turns to dust,
         Ebm         AbAnd when it turns to rust.
Ebm         AbGossip is a truth.
         Ebm         AbA little bit for the lie you took.
    Ebm             AbAnd why do you look surprised?
     Ebm              AbEver since I'm in the skies.
Ebm                AbI'm just tryin' to find,
  Ebm               AbA place for you and I.

Ab-Ebm-Ab-Ebm

I apologize for any wrong lyrics.

If you prefer something a little easier with a capo, then put it on the 4th fret.
Play the Ebm as a Bmthe Db as an A
and the Ab as an E, I believe.

That's about it, I did this by ear so if you guys think something's off, please comment, 
and enjoy!
