New Year Ukulele Chords

Note: This is just what works for me on the accoustic.

Em          C
It's a new year
                 G
In an old house
                             D
With more technology you'll never understand
Em                   C
Break out your typewriter
                      G
With your thees and thous
                              D
Smearing old words with your old hands
Am                   C
You'll call me Cassandra
                     G
I'll call you King James
                               D
And all we write is true. And all of it insane
Am                        C                            G
But the changing of the seasons will forever stay the same
     D
You say
 
 
       Em
The infantry's retreating
           C
Like they knew how this would end
         G
Did you hear the Germans lost the war?
       Am
I bet they could use a friend
       D
Right now supper's getting cold
       C
Right now God is growing old
       D
Right now dialect is evolving
C
Outside this house
            Em
Or so I'm told
 
It's a real fear
For you and me
Burning clothing just to keep the winter warm
My fingers trace the gumline
Of a skeleton key
Not caring whether it could open up the door
The faces at the window
Are children in the womb
Black-eyed and still
But growing every day
You'll die on the outside
Or die in this room
Either way
 
Our infancy's receding
We're a heartbeat from the end
Did you hear the madmen lost the war?
I bet they could use a friend
Right now supper's getting cold
Right now God is growing old
Right now dialect is evolving
Outside this house
Or so I'm told
 
Am                 C
We're stockpiling warheads
                    G
We're stuck in the past
                      D
Death is art Truth is beauty
                         Am
And the first shall be last
                  C                    G
You'll call me Athena, I'll call you Monet
                            D                    Am
When the world is falling down crumbling like clay
We're hiding in caverns
Forgetting our names
We dissolve in our mythology
Like blood in the rain
You'll call me the lion
I'll call you the lamb
I am lost in all you are
You're alive for what I am
