xI checked before writing this tab to see if there was another one up, there wasn't at
time. This version has all the verses and a couple of slight differences to the other one
I'll put it up anyway. Have a look at the notes at the bottom for some of the
Tabbed from the version included in the 'One Of My Kind' Documentary.
Artist: Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
Song: One Of My Kind
CAPO 3
Intro: F
F
I can't live in this city
But I was born here
Dm
And I know all these people
Where they went to high school
A#
Where they got their angle
Here they waited tables
C
Still call me brother
Like Cain and Abel
F
There, see all those old men
How'd they get so swollen?
Dm
I got so many broke friends
Who say I owe them
A#m
From when we were children
How did it happen?
C
Where is it going?
Dm
Is that your question, man?
A#m Dm
Where does all your frustration lie?
C Dm
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
A#m
Just try and have a good time
F C Dm A A#m
All the rest aside
F
You're still one of my kind
F A Dm C
F
I can't think in this city
But I remember
Dm
I know every story that it ever told me
A#
Well, I got the blueprint
To create my own myth
C
That's what made it tragic
Like a summer snowdrift
F
Yeah, going to call my first love
Meet her at the new club
Dm
Tell her all that I've done
Finally be forgiven
A#
And get good and drunk
A#m
Like it feels you're young
C
There are things against us
Dm
But I will fight tooth and nail
A#m Dm
Stand in the sickening sunshine
C Dm
After staying out all night
A#m
And maybe it's the good life
F C Dm A A#m
All the rest aside
C Dm A A#m
The rest aside
C Dm A A#m
The rest aside
F
You're still one of my kind
F A Dm C
F
I can't live in this city
But I'll probably die here
Dm
Maybe that's how you feel
Like a poisoned cornfield
A#
Like a best friend backstabbed
An abandoned train track
C
We're living straight-lined
F
Are you one of my kind?
F A Dm C
F
Notes:
Each time after the lyrics '..one of my kind' Conor plays F A Dm C (as shown above). For
chord he plays a little variation the general variation for each chord is tabbed out
as F' A' Dm' and C' but as usual a little improvisation around these when listening to
song will show you what sounds right.
F' = 133200
A' = x02200
Dm' = x00320
C' = x32000
For the 3rd chord in each verse Conor seems to alternate between A# (odd verses) and A#m
verses) for verse 4 i've tabbed A# then A#m (seeing as this is what he appears to play
the video) I think this might be a mistake and he meant A#m but started on A# then
after realising. Anyway it's a minor detail and seeing as it's am unreleased song i
we can't tell, but just a thought.
Enjoy!
