Jump, Little Children is a highly underappreciated band and Cathedrals is an
incredible song.  I found several tabs and chords for this song online, but
many of them didn't seem quite right, but this seems to match up well with
what they play on Magazine.  Enjoy.
 
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
 
Capo on 3rd fret.

Intro:
=======
 
Eb  F/Eb  Eb  EbM7 F/Eb
 
Verse 1:
=========
Eb             F/Eb
In the shadows of tall buildings
Bb/D             Eb
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
EbM7          F/Eb
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
Bb/D          G7
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
Cm                    F/A               Bb
The line moves slowly past the electric fence
                   G7
Across the borders, between continents
 
Chorus:
========
Cm                F/A             Bb
In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
                   Eb                      Cm
There is a feeling that you should just go home
 
And spend a lifetime
F/A
Finding out just where that is
 
Eb F/Eb Eb EbM7 F/Eb
 
Verse 2:
=========
Eb             F/Eb
In the shadows of tall buildings
Bb/D             Eb
The architecture is slowly peeling
EbM7           F/Eb
Marble statues and glass dividers 
Bb/D                 G7
Someone is watching, all of the outsiders 
Cm                    A/F
The line moves slowly through the numbered gate
Bb              G7
Past the mosaic of the head of state
 
< Play Chorus again >
 
Verse 3:
=========
Eb             F/Eb
In the shadows of tall buildings 
Bb/D        Eb
Open arches endlessly kneeling 
EbM7             F/Eb
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas 
Bb/D                 G7
Someone is listening from a safe distance 
Cm                    F/A
The line moves slowly into a fading light 
Bb             G7
A final moment in the dead of night
 
< Play Chorus one last time>

I have only briefly checked this tab, and I think it's right on the money. It sounds better capo'd at the 3rd fret and played this way, verses Version 3. V3 is also correct, with a few minor errors (see it's comments). But this version is great. My only advice for the tabber would have been to use the chord names as if the capo wasn't there, rather than transposing them in the technical sense. Otherwise, I think this one is the best. The song is one of my all time favorites from ANY band. I suggest checking out the original version because the strings really make the song come alive, and sets the perfect, somber mood.
