I 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
I can't liveF in this city
But I was born here
And I knowDm all these people
Where they went to high school
A#Where they got their angle
Here they waited tables
CStill call me brother
Like Cain and Abel
ThereF, see all those old men
How'd they get so swollen?
I goDmt so many broke friends
Who say I owe them
From wheA#mn we were children
How did it happen?
CWhere is it going?
Is that your question, man?Dm
Where does all yourA#m frustration lie?Dm
Why are youC pulling out your hair at night?Dm
Just try andA#m have a good time
FAll Cthe Dmrest AasA#mide
You're still one of my kindF
F A Dm C
I can't thinkF in this city
But I remember
I knowDm every story that it ever told me
A#Well, I got the blueprint
To create my own myth
CThat's what made it tragic
Like a summer snowdrift
Yeah, Fgoing to call my first love
Meet her at the new club
DmTell her all that I've done
Finally be forgiven
A#And get good and drunk
A#mLike it feels you're young
CThere are things against us
But I will fight tooth and naiDml
Stand in the A#msickening sunshineDm
After Cstaying out all night Dm
And maybe A#mit's the good life
FAll Cthe Dmrest AasA#mide
CThe Dmrest AasA#mide
CThe Dmrest AasA#mide
You're still one of my kindF
F A Dm C
I can't liveF in this city
But I'll probably die here
DmMaybe that's how you feel
Like a poisoned cornfield
A#Like a best friend backstabbed
An abandoned train track
CWe're living straight-lined
Are you one of my kind?F
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!
