A  B  C#m  E  X2

[Verse 1]
A                     B        C#m             E
Silver winged, broken English, boys they smoke
A              B         C#     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  E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that
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


[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  E
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that
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

[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
(Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back)
A                                          C#m   E
(Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that)


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


[Outro]
E                                                       A
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
E                                                       A
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
E                                                       A
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
E                                                       A
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
E                                                       A
Quit all that, quit all that, quit all that looking back
E   A  E   A
Mmmm,  mmmm
