Old Soul Song (for the New World Order)
By Bright Eyes
[Intro]
D Bm G A D
D Bm G A D
[Verse 1]
D Dsus2 Bm
Grey like new day leaks through the window
G A D
and some old song comes on the alarm clock radio.
D Dsus2 Bm
We walk the forty blocks to the middle
G A D
of the place we heard where everything would be
G A D
and there were barracades to keep us off the street,
Bm G Em A
but the crowd kept pushing forward until they swallowed the police.
[Chorus]
Em G
Yeah, they went wild yeah, they went wild.
Em G
Yeah, they went wild yeah, they went wild.
[Interlude]
D Bm G A D
D Bm G A D
[Verse 2]
D Dsus2 Bm
We left before the dust had time to settle
G A D
and all the broken glass swept off the avenue.
D Dsus2 Bm
On the way home I held your camera like a bible,
G A D
wishing so bad that it held some kind of truth.
G A D
And I stood nervous next to you in the dark room,
Bm G Em A
you dropped the paper in the water and it all begins to bloom.
[Chorus]
Em G
Yeah, they went wild yeah, they went wild.
Em G
Yeah, they went wild yeah, they went wild.
[Interlude]
D G Bm Em A
D G Bm Em A
[Bridge]
G A D
Just when I get so lonesome I can't speak,
Bm G Em A
I see some flowers on a hill side, like a wall of new TVs.
[Chorus]
Em G
Yeah, they went wild. yeah, they went wild.
Em G
Yeah, they went wild. yeah, they went wild.
D Em
Yeah, they went wild. yeah, they went wild.
G Em
Yeah, they went wild. yeah, they went wild.
