Hey friends! Here's "Empire State" by Guster from Ganging Up On the Sun.

An acoustic rendition of this song really doesn't do it justice but it's fun to play 
Try to get a your bass buddy to add in some killer bass lines. This song is ideal for 
wanting to pick up a quick tune. Enjoy!

(The chords for this song carry on for a while during certain parts. You can make them 
better by experimenting with different strumming patterns)

(C,F,D,Am,G)

C
 Been the crawl of a mountain Been a link in a chain

 Been scolded for stealin' Been told to behave
F
 Been readin' the forecast Somethin's coming this way

 But it's takin' forever I'm too tired to maintain that
     C
 I'm slow

 Been a scratch on the surface Been a clog in the drain

 Been melodramatic Been sleepin' for days
F
 Been one in a million Been a million to one

 This is takin' forever Always seems to return that
     C
 I'm slow


 F                        C
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 F                           C
 Faith be true, you know the way
 D                         Am
 Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
         F
 Fallen walls all around
            G
 Destroyed again
            C
 Destroyed again

 Been diggin' to China Been a fish in the sea

 Been talkin' to Jesus But he's not talkin' to me
F
 Been readin' the forecast Something's coming this way

 But it's taken forever And I've already maintained that
     C
 I'm slow

 F                        C
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 F                            C
 Faith is true, she knows the way
 D                          Am
 Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
        F
 Fallen walls all around
              G
 We'll build again
          C ( continue for the rest of the song.)
 Rebuild again


 Been the crawl of a mountain

 Been a link in a chain

 Been scolded for stealin'

 Been carted away
