Bixby Canyon Bridge
Death Cab For Cutie
Narrow Stairs
This is meant to be an acoustic rendition of the song. The Bass line obviously does a
amount of "walking," but the root chords are good enough for playing on acoustic.
[Verse A]
C Am C
I descended a dusty gravel ridge
Am C
Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge
Am C
Until I eventually arrived
Am
At the place where your soul had died
[Verse B]
F C G F
Barefoot in the shallow creek
C G F
I grab some stones from underneath
C G F (hold an extra measure)
Waiting for you to speak to me
[Verse A]
C Am C
In the silence it became so very clear
Am C
That you had long ago disappeared
Am C
And I curse myself for being surprised
Am
That this didn't play out like it did in my mind
[Verse B]
F C G F
All the way from San Francisco
C G F
As I chase the end of your rope
C G F
'Cause I've still got miles to go
[Verse C]
F
C G F
I want to know my fate
C G F
If I keep up this way
C G F
Its hard to want to stay
Am E
Aw - a - y
F
C G F
Then everyone you meet
C G F
Will all seem to be asleep
C G D
And you wonder if you're missing your dream
F D
You can't see your dream
F D
You can't see your dream
F D F
Just can't see your dream
[Chorus]
D G F
Your dr - e - am.........

Then is started getting dark
Am C
And I trudged back to where the car was parked
Am C
No closer to any kind of truth
Am (rest)
As I must assume was the case with you
