We Are 1980 Said the Whale
Me and Ben played this together on the ukulele and he told me he was impressed--this is
exactly how he plays it. I'm not sure which capo will transpose from Uke to guitar, so
just experiment with these chords.
[E]Lean back into the wind
Itā??s an empty cold ou[C]tside[G]
I s[E]ent you back just the smoothest rock I could find
A[C]ccompanied by just a couple of words came to m[G]ind
Itā??s an[E] old concept
Sending letters again
[C]Well thought out, rehearsed and written in p[G]en
[E]Paperless here is a thing of the past
Iā??m[C] cutting down trees and using up[G] gas
[A]Weā??ve got M[C]andarax and loveless sex
And in[G]formation passing right through our skin and bo[B7]nes.... o[E]h
[E]Spot on with my content for the lesser known
In sp[C]ite of a[E]ll of the rules of my own
That I break up in stride
[C]Ignoring my front, back
Ignoring my left and my ri[G]ght
Itā??s my m[E]oral compass
And itā??s easy to find
[C]Well thought out, intentionally left beh[G]ind
[E]Itā??s regrettable, yes
But how could I ever sleep at night?
[C]Knowing I had rules and knowing I had to ab[G]ide
[A]Weā??ve got Ma[C]ndarax and loveless sex
And in[G]formation passing right through our skin and bo[B7]nes
Itā??s the[C] information age
Of le[G]sser conseque[D]nce to the silence
[C]The information age
Of fo[G]untain pens and re[D]al stationary
[C]The information age
Of le[G]sser conseque[D]nce to the silence
[C]The information age
[Em]We are 1980
[C]We are 1980
[Em]We are 1980
[C]We are 1980
[G]We are 1980
[C]We are 1980
[E]
