Piazza, New York Catcher Belle and Sebastian
by Belle And Sebastian
Tabbed by: CatchingFirefly
This is the easiest way to play this song and have the correct sound. Most of the
credit goes to squizz for tabbing ver 2, but I have made some changes to things I
think sound better.
Standard Tuning
Capo: 1st
[G]Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll s[Am]ail around the w[Em]orld
[Am]I will be your Ferdinand and y[Em]ou my wayward girl
How m[Am]any nights of talking in hot[D]el rooms can you take?
How m[Am]any nights of limping round on [D]pagan holidays?
Oh elo[Am]pe with me in private and we’ll s[Em]et something ablaze
A t[Am]rail for the d[D]evil to er[Em]ase
[G]San Francisco’s calling us, the [Am]Giants and Mets will p[Em]lay
[Am]Piazza, New York catcher, are you [Em]straight or are you gay?
We [Am]hung about the stadium, we’ve [D]got no place to stay
We [Am]hung about the tenderloin and [D]tenderly you tell
About the [Am]saddest book you ever read, it a[Em]lways makes you cry
The [Am]statue’s crying [D]too and well he [Em]may
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/belle_and_sebastian/piazza_new_york_catcher_crd_ver_5.html )
I [G]love you I’ve a drowning grip on [Am]your adoring f[Em]ace
I [Am]love you my responsibili[Em]ty has found a place
Be[Am]side you and strong warnings in the [D]guise of gentle words
Come [Am]wave upon me from the wider [D]family net absurd
“You’ll take [Am]care of her, I know it, you will d[Em]o a better job”
[Am]Maybe, but [D]not what she de[Em]serves
El[G]ope with me Miss Private and we’ll [Am]drink ourselves a[Em]wake
We’ll [Am]taste the coffee houses and aw[Em]ard certificates
A [Am]privy seal to keep the feel of [D]1960 style
We’ll [Am]comment on the decor and we’ll [D]help the passer by
And at [Am]dusk when work is over we’ll cont[Em]inue the debate
In a [Am]borrowed bedroom [D]virginal and s[Em]pare
The [G]catcher hits for .318 and [Am]catches every d[Em]ay
The [Am]pitcher puts religion first and [Em]rests on holidays
He [Am]goes into cathedrals and lies [D]prostrate on the floor
He [Am]knows the drink affects his speed he’s [D]praying for a doorway
Back in[Am]to the life he wants a conf[Em]ession from the bench
[Am]Life outside the [D]diamond is a [Em]wrench
I [G]wish that you were here with me to [Am]pass the dull w[Em]eekend
I [Am]know it wouldn’t come to love, my [Em]heroine pretend
A [Am]lady stepping from the songs we [D]love until this day
You’d [Am]settle for an epitaph like “[D]Walk Away, Renee”
The sun up[Am]on the roof in winter will draw y[Em]ou out like a flower
[Am]Meet you at the [D]statue in an [Em]hour
[Am]Meet you at the [D]statue in an [Em]hour
