Ya Hey Chords & Lyrics - Vampire Weekend

Capo on 4th

[VERSE 1]

[G]Oh, sweet thing, Zion doesn't [C]love you
And Babylon don't [D]love you, but you love every[G]thing
Oh, you saint, America don't [C]love you
So I could never [D]love you, in spite of every[G]thing

[PRE-CHORUS]

In the [Bm]dark of this place, there's the [Em]glow of your face
There's the [Am]dust on the screen, of this [G]broken mac[D]hine
And I [Bm]can't help but feel, that I [Em]made some mistake, but I let it [Am]go

Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey

[CHORUS]

[C]Through the fire and through the flames
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )

You won't even say your name
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )
Through the fire and through the flames, [D]you won't even say your name
[G]Only I am that I [C]am

But who could ever live that way'
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )

[Verse 1]

[G]Oh,the motherland don't l[C]ove you
The fatherland don't [D]love you
So why love anyt[G]hing'

[G]Oh, good God, the faithless, they don't [C]love you
The zealous hearts don't [D]love you
And that's not gonna [G]change

[PRE-CHORUS]

All the c[Bm]ameras and files, all the [Em]paranoid styles
All the [Am]tension and fear, of a [G]secret ca[D]reer
And I c[Bm]an't help but feel, that you [Em]see the mistakes
But you let it [Am]go, Ya Hey, [G]Ya Hey, [D]Ya Hey

[CHORUS]

[C]Through the fire and through the flames
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )

You won't even say your name
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )
Through the fire and through the flames, [D]you won't even say your name
[G]Say I am that I a[C]m

But who could ever live that way'
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )


[BRIDGE]

[G]Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
[C]As the air began to cool and the sun went down
[D]My soul swooned as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning Israelites[D7] into 19th Nervous Breakdown

[CHORUS]

[C]Through the fire and through the flames
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )

You won't even say your name
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )
Through the fire and through the flames, [D]you won't even say your name
[G]Say I am that I a[C]m

But who could ever live that way'
([D]Ya hey Ya hey, Ut Deo [G]Ya Hey Ya Hey, Ut Deo [C]Ya Hey Ya Hey )
