A                     B        C#m             E
Silver winged, broken English, boys they smoke
A              B         C#m     E
Talk and joke, above the water
A                      B      C#m         E
New York lady, holding in her heavy hand
A                B      C#m     E
Sacred lantern, guiding dawn


[Chorus]
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                   B        C#m
Quit all, quit all, quit all that
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                   B        C#m
Quit all, quit all, quit all that


[Verse 2]
A                          B        C#m             E
Casting glances backwards, but it's not your fault
A               B         C#m     E
Turned to salt for the wandering
A                        B       C#m         E
In your braids and heavy pages, we were folded
A                 B      C#m     E
Kiss the cold and dirty ground


[Chorus]
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                   B        C#m
Quit all, quit all, quit all that
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                   B        C#m
Quit all, quit all, quit all that


(Strings solo)


[Verse 3]
A                          B         C#m             E
Seasons wake with sleeping birds now flying south
A                 B        C#m   E
Covered mouth, we watch in awe
A                         B        C#m             E
Fallen pines to shape the skyline, take me there
A                  B        C#m    E
Beneath the barren coloured moon
A                                            B      C#m       E
(Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                              B        C#m       E
Quit all, quit all, quit all that)


[Bridge]
A
Greeting all the masses
B          C#m             E
From their teeming shores
A                 B          C#m
She was born with open hands
A                                            B      C#m       E
(Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                              B        C#m       E
Quit all, quit all, quit all that)


[Outro]
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
A                                           B       C#m     E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
