"Street by Street" - Laufey
Intro
[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [Am7]
This view used to bring a smile to my face
[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [Am9]
Lately, it's done nothing but remind me of the way
Verse 1
[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [A7] [A7(b13)]
The way that you used to give me butterflies
[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [A7] [A7(b13)]
Took me twenty-one days to walk our former paradise
[Dm7] [Fm7]
Paradise, bu-bu-bu-day duh
Chorus
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7] [Dm7] [G7]
Step by step, brick by brick I'm reclaiming what's mine
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7] [Dm7] [Fm9] [Fm7]
This city is way too small to give away to just one guy
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7] [Dm7] [Bb13]
Street by street, breath by breath from the Back Bay to the sky
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7]
I'm taking back my city
[Dm7] [G7] [C6]
I'm taking back my life
Verse 2
[Dm7] [G13] [G7]
The cafe
[Cmaj7] [Am7] [A7(b13)]
where you asked me for my name
[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [Am7] [A7(b13)]
The bookstore we spent five hours, hiding from the rain
[Dm7]
It's like a game of monopoly except
[G7]
I steal back all my property
[Cmaj7] [A7] [A7(b13)]
And leave you on the ground
[Dm7]
And I know that I'll see you one day on the street
[G7]
With a girl on your arm but I won't let that
[Cmaj7] [A7] [A7(b13)]
Keep me from this town
[Dm7]
From this town
[Fm7]
From this town, oh
Chorus
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7] [Dm7] [G7]
Step by step, brick by brick I'm reclaiming what's mine
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7] [Dm7] [Fm9] [F7]
This city is way too small to give away to just one guy
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7] [Dm7] [Bb13]
Street by street, breath by breath from the Back Bay to the sky
[Cmaj7] [A7(b13)] [A7]
I'm taking back my city
[Dm7] [G7] [Cmaj7] [C#dim7]
I'm taking back my life
[Dm7] [F7sus2] [C6]
I'm taking back my city...
Notes:
-There is not a single "basic" chord shape in this song. Dm7, Cmaj7, Am7, etc--it's all their
barre chord versions. So, Am7: 5x555x; Cmaj7: x35453; Dm7: x57565; and so forth. But if you're crazy fast,
go ahead and try doing the basic chords with this song HAHA
-You'll notice that some parts start from Am7 instead of A7, or that the A7(b13) comes before or after the
A7/Am7. I added that there so this tab will be as close as possible to the original
But you shouldn't worry about that too much. The difference is very minor (no pun intended).
Thanks for viewing! This song was really fun to figure out as someone who just started using my ears hahaha
I wanted to make this tab because the chords that Laufey released were really odd in some parts. I thought it
was my issue at first, but I realised she just made a few mistakes haha
(Her released chords if you wanna see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mve2yqnoz7lh9i8/street-chords.png?dl=0 )
I tried my best to correct it haha
If you have any other suggestions, please feel free to message me/comment. :)
