Version 1 
            *** What's interesting about this song is that every part starts on the IV chord, and never on the I. This
creates a sense of "chorus" at every new part... I like that kind of approach in songwriting! Anyway, without
further ado, "Isabella" by Hamilton Leithauser (also, have fun!):

  “And when our dreaming dies away
C               D        G    N.C
  Well, I’ll be glad I did”


[Verse 1]
C           D       Em
  “Well it’s after mid---night
C       D             G       Em
  Gonna find some friends
C        D        G       Em
  Gonna waltz up ninety fourth street
C      D             G     G    G
  In a wide-eyed trance”


[Chorus 2]
C        D          Em
  “Gonna rock til dawn”
C    D        G     Em
  Isabella sings
C               D        G        Em
  “And when our dreaming dies away
C               D        G    G
  Well, I’ll be glad I did”


[Verse 2]
C                    G
  All her younger sweet hearts
C                                G
  Are star-struck wall-street wolves
    C                            G       G/F#
She knows they’'ll always gonna  go down swinging
        C                              G
And she knows they’re always gonna fall


[Chorus 3]
C        D          Em
  “Gonna rock til dawn”
C    D         G   Em
  Isabella sings
C                D      G                Em
  She did a year   in a college around here
          C           D                    G    G
  But she never left,   and she never will


[Bridge]
        C             G      D/F#   C
I wanna be there with her    
            (til they all go riding home)
                       G      D/F#   C
Til they all go riding home
             (til they all go riding home)
                                       G      D/F#   C
Well she can have a laugh and all that        
                             (til they all go riding home)
                                      G      D/F#   C
Til they all go riding home (til they all go riding home)
                                      G      D/F#   C
Til they all go riding home (til they all go riding home)


   C                             G      D/F#   C
At night I go to sleep (til they all go riding home)
                                 G      D/F#   C
To the rhythm of the passing traffic    
                    (til   they  all go riding home)
   C             G      D/F#   C   
On Amsterdam Avenue     
       (til they all go riding home)
      C                 G          D/F#   C
And I wonder, I wonder where   you are
              (til they all go     riding home)


[Outro]
C                  G             D/F#
Sweet dreams never burned you out
C                       G       D/F#
  But none of them have answers now

C                  G          D/F#
Sweet dreams never burned you out
C                       G       D/F#
  But none of them have answers now

Bm             Em     Am     Bm
     When they all go riding home
          Em     Am     C      G   D/F#
When they all go riding home

C   G   D/F#
C   G   D/F#
C   G   D/F#
C   G   D/F#
C
