Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Shangri‐La Oleh The Kinks

Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La-ah-ah-ahh

The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hanging over his head[G/F#]
But he’s too scared to complain[C/B][Am/G]
Cos he’s conditioned that w[F/E]ay[Dm/C]
Time goes by and he pays off his debts
Got a T.V. set and a radio[G/F#]
For seven shillings a week[C/B]

Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La-ah-ah-ahhh

Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La-ah-ah-ahhh

And all the hou[Dm/C]ses in the s[Dm/B]treet have got a n[Dm/Bb]ame
Cos all the hou[Dm/C]ses in the s[Dm/B]treet they look the s[Dm/Bb]ame
Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes
The neighbors c[Dm/C]all to tell you th[Dm/B]ings that you should [Dm/Bb]know
They say their l[Dm/C]ines they drink their [Dm/B]tea and then they [Dm/Bb]go
They tell your business in another Shangri-La
The gas bills and the w[Dm/C]ater rates and pa[Dm/B]yments on the ca[Dm/Bb]r
Too scared to th[Dm/C]ink about how ins[Dm/B]ecure you are[Dm/Bb]
Life ain’t so happy in your little Shangri-La
G C F Bb G C F Bb G C F Bb G C F Bb… G C F A
Shangri-La la la la la la la…
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You’ve reached your top and you just can’t g[G/F#]et any higher
You’re in your place and you kn[C/B]ow where you are
In your Shangri-[F/E]La[Dm/C]
Sit back in your old rockin’ chair
You need not worry you need not care[G/F#]
You can’t go anywhere[C/B]

Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La-ah-ah-ahhh

Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La-ah-ah-ahhh
