Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band - Cape canaveral

^AOh, oh, oh brother totem pole ^AI saw your legends lined up And I never felt more natural ^E A^F#mpart, I just came^E a^F#mpart

^APlease, please, please sister Socrates ^AYou always answer with a question Show some kindness to a petty thief ^E For^F#mgive, you did^E for^F#mgive

Watch the ^Dmigrants smoke in the ^Eold orange grove And the ^Ared rocket blaze over ^DCape Canaveral You’^Dve been a father^E to me In 1960’s speak In the ^Acomatose joy that ^Dwe’re on TV While the m^Bmountain’s side was shining Wild colors of my destiny ^A

I watched your ^Bmface age backwards Changing shape in my memory ^A You taught me ^Bmvictory’s sweet Even deep in the cheap seats ^A

^AHey, hey, hey mother interstate ^ACan you deliver me from evil Make me honest make me wedding cake ^E A^F#mtone, I will^E at^F#mone

^AWait, wait, wait mighty outer-space ^AAll that flying saucer terror Made me lazy drinking lemonade ^E A ^F#mwaste, it just went^E to ^F#mwaste

Like the ^DFreon cold out the ^Ehotel door Or the ^Awhite rocket fade over ^DCape Canaveral You’^Dve been a daughter t^Eo me your buried shoe-box grief I felt your ^Apoltergeist love like ^Dsavannah heat While the ^Bmwaterfall was pouring Crazy symbols of my destiny ^A I watched your ^Bmface die backwards Little baby in my memory ^A You told me ^Bmvictory's sweet Even deep in the cheap seats ^A

^DAnd you don&#8217^F#m;t ju^Ddge me That’s^E not yo^Dur style But I won&#8217^F#m;t see you for a ^C#mlittle while ^D And there&#^F#m8217;s no worries^D, oh lord Whose got ^Etime ^D All these ^F#mchanges are going to^E fill your mind

Like the ^Dcitrus glow off the ^Eold orange grove Or the ^Ared rocket blaze over ^DCape Canaveral It&#8217^D;s been a nightmare to ^Eme Some 1980’s grief Gives me ^Aparachute dreams Like ^Dold war movies While the ^Bmuniverse was drawn Perfect circles form infinity ^A

I watched the ^Bmstars get smaller Tiny diamonds in my memory ^A I know that ^Bmvictory is sweet Even deep in the cheap seats ^A
