All The Rowboats Chords

   
Hi to all. I'm not a guitarist but a pianist, so I can't help you with the use of the 
capo or the tabs. However, the chords are the same for both instruments and they are 
pretty accurate.

Key: C Minor (original)
Meter: 4/4
Chords used:
- Cm
- Cm/G (can be simplified to Cm )
- Abmaj7 (can be simplified to Ab )
- Fmadd9 (can be simplified to Fm )

Cm             Cm/G
All the rowboats, in the paintings
Abmaj7             Fmadd9
They keep trying to row away
Cm              Cm/G
And the captain's worried faces
Abmaj7             Fmadd9
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
They'll keep hanging, in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats, in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/regina_spektor/all_the_rowboats_crd_ver_4.html ]
Hear them whispering, French and German
Dutch, Italian and Latin
When no one's looking, I touch a sculpture
Marble, gold, and soft as satin
But the most special are the most lonely
God, I pity the violins
In glass coffins, they keep coughin'
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing

First there's lights out, then there's lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It's their own fault for being timeless
There's a price to pay, and a consequence
All the galleries and museums
"Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs"
They're just public mausoleums--
The living dead fill every room
But the most special are the most lonely
God, I pity the violins
In glass coffins, they keep coughin'
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
They will stay there, in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

First there's lights out, then there's lock up
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
It's their own fault for being timeless
There's a price to pay, and a consequence
All the galleries and museums
They will stay there forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

Good luck!
