Chords for Ellijah by Lake Street Dive. I love this song and the chords are really easy.
There are quite a few little guitar solos inbetween the G chord, which are mostly just 
freestyle. I haven't figured that out yet so this is purely just chords. Enjoy!!!:)))
(all the verses are simply just G and some licks)
[Verse 1]
ElGijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip
Gand nary a girl in the world has been missed by his grip
GHe’s long curly hair, that when wet, goes as far as his chin
Gand his knowledge of poets and punks is debatably thin
[Pre-Chorus]
The thFing i like most about hCim is what I see on the Gsurface
Like tFwo distant shores, we are bCound by a love that’s an GisthmusE  
[Chorus]
FOh DElijGah!
[Verse 2]
GElijah, he lay in psychosis one bright sunny day
Gand even in sleep I cannot make myself walk away
GSo pretty was he, I said something I couldn’t retract
Gand so for three years, he spent most of his time in the sack
[Pre-Chorus]
FAlthough it’s November, I Cknow we won’t make it to chGristmas
FLike two distant shores, we are Cbound by a love that’s an iGsthmusE  
[Chorus]
FOh EDlijaGh!E  
FOh EDlijaGh!
[Verse 3]
GElijah once told me in private that he’d like a break
Galthough he revealed through his actions that he was a fake
GAnd so, then in public I told him that he’s too dependent
Gand now to this day I maintain that I am unrepentant
[Pre-chorus]
FAll he can see through the tCunnel is none of his busGiness
FLike two distant shores, we are Cbound by a love that’s an isGthmusE  
[Chorus]
FOh DEliGjah!E  
FOh DEliGjah!E  
FOh DEliGjah!E  
FOh DEliGjah!E

[Verse 1]

Elijah has brains and long legs and wears jeans at his hip
