The Kinks - Shangri-La: chords

  Am             G          E7  Am
Now that you've found your paradise
 Am           C       G    E7
This is your kingdom to command
         Am    C        G           E7
You can go outside and polish your car
    Am         C             E7    Am
Or sit by the fire in your Shangri-La

 Am             G        E7        Am
Here is your reward for working so hard
 Am           C         G           E7
Gone are the lavatories in the backyard
 Am           C              G              E7
Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car
     Am           C           E7     Am A
You just want to sit in your Shangri-La

 D                        Dmaj7
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
        D7                       G
You've reached your top and you just can't
D/F#      Em
get any higher
                 C            C/B           Am Am/G
You're in your place and you know where you are
          F     C/E Dm Dm/C
In your Shangri-La

Chorus:
 D               Dmaj7
Sit back in your old rockin' chair
     D7                 G           D/F# Em
You need not worry you need not care
             C       G/B Am
You can't go anywhere
         F A         F A         A# F     C  A
Shangri-La, Shangri-La, Shangri-La-ah-ah-ahh

The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hangin' over his head
But he's too scared to complain
'Cause he's conditioned that way

Chorus:
Time goes by, and he pays off his debt
Got a T.V. set and a radio
For seven shillings a week
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!

 Dm            Dm/C        Dm/B              Dm/A#
And all the houses in the street have got a name
 Dm            Dm/C        Dm/B                Dm/A#
Cos all the houses in the street they look the same
 A                              D
Same chimney pots, same little cars,
             Dm
same window panes

The neighbors call to tell you things
that you should know
They say their lines, they drink their
tea, and then they go
And they tell your business in another
Shangri-La

The gas bills and the water rates,
the payments on the car
Too scared to think about how insecure you are
Life ain't so happy in your little Shangri-La!

         A
Shangri-la
         G        C
Shangri-La la la la la la
  F A# G C F A# G C F A# G C F A# G C F A
la...

Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top, and you just
can't get any higher
You're in your place, and you know where you are
In your Shangri-La

Chorus:
Sit back in your old rocking-chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can't go anywhere!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
Shangri-La!
