Egypt Song
Elvira Nikolaisen
[Am]
This is a house to which I will n[F]ever return
[G] These rooms witnessed great disasters,
Quiet ones and lo[C]ud ones to[F]o
[Am] This is a country to which I will n[F]ever return
[G] See, I've been a lonesome stranger
In these stre[Am7]ets and in thes[C]e labyri[F]nths
In these bal[Am7]lrooms with the ki[C]ngs and q[F]ueens
Was I brave to sta[G]y?
[C]But now I've found my way out of E[F]gypt[C]
[Dm7] I've found my suprisingly obvious w[C]ay out of he[G]re
[C] You are my way out of my d[F]angerous, proud mis[Dm7]takes
And now E[F]gypt seems so very far aw[Am]ay.
[Am]This is a house to which I will ne[F]ver return
[G] These rooms witnessed great disasters,
Quiet ones and lo[C]ud ones to[F]o
[Am] This is a country to which I will n[F]ever return
[G] See, I've been a lonesome stranger
In these st[Am7]reets and in the[C]se labyrint[F]hs
In these bal[Am7]lrooms with the k[C]ings and que[F]ens
Was I brave to st[G]ay?
N[C]ow I've found my way out of [F]Egypt[C]
[Dm7]I've found my suprisingly obvious wa[C]y out of he[G]re
Y[C]ou are my way out of my dangero[F]us, proud mis[Dm7]takes
And now Eg[F]ypt seems so very far away
[C] And now I've found my way out of Eg[F]ypt[C]
[Dm7] I've found my suprisingly obvious way[C] out of he[G]re
[C] You are my way out of my danger[F]ous, proud mista[Dm7]kes
And now E[F]gypt seems so very far away...
And now E[F]gypt seems so very fa[G]r away[Am].
Her er feil på feil, men jeg skal her bare nevne den første. Hvis man ikke hører at man i første linje går fra en variant av Am til en variant av A-dur (en A7 funker bra), har man missa hele poenget og bør finne en annen hobby.
