Always Ascending Guitar Chords by Franz Ferdinand

[Intro]
(Fmaj)  (Dmaj)  (Cmaj)  (Dmaj)# (Gmin)  (Bbmaj)

[Verse]
(Fmaj)    (Dmaj)    (Cmaj)
Don’t be concerned
(Dmaj)#        (Gmin)            (Bbmaj)                 (Fmaj)     (Dmaj)
 It’s just the way that gravity works round here
   (Cmaj)       (Dmaj)#      (Gmin)      (Bbmaj)      (Fmaj)
All slowly rising, falling patiently
(Dmaj)    (Cmaj)
Feel no
(Dmaj)#      (Gmin)   (Bbmaj)
Feel no fear
(Fmaj)      (Cmaj)
Cirrus caress you
(Dmaj)#      (Bbmaj)
Cumulus kiss you
Dm           (Fmaj)
Raindrops of crystal
(Gmin)            (Bbmaj)
Whisper we’ll miss you
    Dm  (Dmaj)# Cm
But go…
    (Gmaj)
Let go

[Verse]
(Keep playing A Palm muted)
             (Bbmaj)


(Gmin)
Always and always and always ascending
(Gmin)
The opening line leaves an uncertain ending
(Gmin)
Always and always and always ascending
(Gmin)                            (Bbmaj)m
The chords seem to pause, but ah…
(Gmin)
Never going to resolve
(Gmin)              (Bbmaj)m
Talk to me, but ah...

[Chorus]
(Gmaj)  (Bbmaj)         (Cmaj)#
   Wake me up
(Gmaj)
Waking up dry
(Gmaj)
Waking up dusty
(Gmaj)
Feeling remorse
(Gmaj)
Feeling thirsty
(Fmaj)
Bring me a cup
(Cmaj)              (Gmaj)
Bring me water


(Gmaj)
We can ascend
(Gmaj)
From this arrangement
(Gmaj)
We can see fate
(Gmaj)
As entertainment
(Fmaj)
Bring me a cup
(Cmaj)              (Gmaj)
Bring me water

[Verse]
             (Bbmaj)m


(Gmin)
Always and always and always ascending
(Gmin)
The Shepard misleads so you think you’re transcending
(Gmin)
Always and always and always ascending
(Gmin)
Pause the progression, but ah…
(Gmin)
Never going to resolve
(Gmin)              (Bbmaj)m
Talk to me, but ah...

[Verse]
(Gmaj)  (Bbmaj)         (Cmaj)#
   Wake me up
(Gmaj)
Waking up dry
(Gmaj)
Waking up dusty
(Gmaj)
Feeling remorse
(Gmaj)
Feeling thirsty
(Fmaj)
Bring me a cup
(Cmaj)
Bring me water
(Gmaj)
Bring me water
(Fmaj)
Bring me water
(Gmaj)
Bring me water
(Fmaj)              (Cmaj)
Bring me water
(Gmaj)
Yeah

[Outro]
Em
Put Your ladder down...
(Dmaj)  (Fmaj)  Am  (Cmaj)
(Gmaj)  (Dmaj)  (Fmaj)  (Cmaj)
Em  (Gmaj)  Am  (Cmaj)
Em  (Fmaj)  Dm  Am
Am
