Ya Hey
By Vampire Weekend
On their upcoming album Modern Vampires of the City

Standard Tuning, not very complex, let me know of any corrections you come across


C C
Oh, sweet thing,
F F
Zion doesn't love you,
G G
Babylon don't love you,
C C
But you love everything.

C C
Oh, you saint,
F F
America don't love you,
G G
So I could never love you,
C C
In spite of everything.

F F G G
In the dark of this place, there's the glow of your face,
C C F F
There's the dust on the screen, of this broken machine,
F F G G C C
And I can't help but feel, that I made some mistake, but I let it go
F F
Ya hey, Ya hey, Ya hey

F F
Through the fire and through the flames
G G C C F F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F F
You won't even say your name
G G C C F F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F F G G
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name,
C C F F
Only I am that I am.
F F
But who could ever live that way?
G G C C F F C C
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)

*chords same as first verse*
C C
Oh,
F F
The motherland don't love you,
G G
The fatherland don't love you,
C C
So why love anything?


C C
Oh, good God,
F F
The faithless they don't love you,
G G
The zealous hearts don't love you,
C C
And that's not gonna change.


F F G G
All the cameras and files, all the paranoid style,
C C F F
All the tension and fear, of the secret career
F F G G C C
And I can't help but think, that you see the mistakes, but you let it go
F F
Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ya Hey


F F
Through the fire and through the flames

G G C C F F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)

F F
You won't even say your name
G G C C F F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F F G G
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name,
C C F F
You say I am that I am.
F F
But who could ever live that way?
G G C C F F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)

C C
Outside the tents, on the festival grounds,
F F
As the air began to cool, and the sun went down,
G G
My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound,
G7 G7
Of you spinning Israelites, into 19th Nervous Breakdown

F F
Through the fire and through the flames
G G C C F F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F F
You won't even say your name
G G C C G G
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F F G G
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name,
C C F F
Only I am that I am.
F F
But who could ever live that way?

G G C C F F
What De-O, Ya Hey, What De-O, O
