Cordova
Originally for the piano so these are the basic guitar chords, don't hesitate to
experiment with altered voicings!
No Capo
Am Bm
The volunteers come for your prayers
C
and some souvenirs,
Am Bm
With ivory skin and boycott lessons
C
Year after year.
G D
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space
Am
of the bottom bunk,
C
Oh Cordova.
G D
Where I cried and I cried,
Bm C
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
D
The things that I didn't have.
Am
Now you come to me
Bm C
With revolution's, infidelity,
Am Bm
With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin,
C
And your big history.
G D
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space
Am
of the bottom bunk,
C
Oh Cordova.
G D
Where I cried and I cried,
Bm C
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
D
The things that I didn't have.
Am Bm
I memorize the lullabies
C
of dwindling lives.
Am Bm
The lay of the land, the touch of each hand
C
We lose by and by.
G D Am
I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,
C
Oh Cordova.
G D
Where I cried and I cried,
Bm C
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
D
The things that I didn't have.
