"Silent Movie"    Transcribed by George Ziadeh

Intro: (Em9 - Gmaj7/D) x2
Em
The day before I left New Orleans
       B+5(sus4)
My neighbor from down the street,
                       G/D       Em6th
Alex Chilton came to say goodbye
                          G6                          Em  C
We talked about songs and how much joy they'd given us
D               Em
Before he left he confided in me
B+5(sus4)
Playing songs is ageless,
     G/D
The songs never seem to grow old
        Em6
You can sing a song, which you wrote when you were a kid
         G6                              Em
Just like the first time you've played it
    C             D                    Em9
It cheats time and makes you feel safe

But the reality is that things are changing in the world...

As we talked
                                                       D         A    G
The t.v. channel began playing an old black and white cowboy film
                 D
We sat there and looked at the t.v.
     E/D               D            E/D                D
Even though the sound was turned down, we didn't need to speak anymore 
E/D          D
    The images said it all...CAPO 2
