This is a fantastic track from Oberst's solo album "Ruminations." It's a very easy song
to play, so enjoy!
I will be posting other tracks from the record as well, so be on the lookout for them!
Cheers- Luca
(Use a key of C/G harmonica)
[Intro]
C/G Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
C/GThere's a dance hall there
Where the sick folks go
Fmaj7Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast
C/GThere's a barefoot child playing in the raFmaj7in
C/GYou can sell your wares even if they're hot
Fmaj7In the great bazaar or the parking lot
C/GCause it takes a while to know who to blFmaj7ame
C/GI might have a taste cause the first one's free
Fmaj7And the checkout girl's got a thing for me
C/GAnd they're both as sweet as the day is loFmaj7ng
[Chorus]
DmI don't wanna feel Gstuck, baby
DmI just wanna get Gdrunk before nC/Goon
[Verse 2]
C/GI don't mind my head when there's room to dream
Fmaj7Feel like Paul Gauguin painting breadfruit trees
C/GIn some far off place where I don't beFmaj7long
C/GTry to lose myself in the primitive
Fmaj7In Yosemite like John Muir did
C/GBut his eyes were blue and mine are red and raFmaj7w
C/G'Cause the modern world is a sight to see
Fmaj7It's a stimulant, it's pornography
C/GIt takes all my will not to turn it oFmaj7ff
[Chorus]
DmI don't want you to feel Gsad, baby
DmI take everything Gback, I swear I C/Gdo
[Bridge]
Cause once Dmall the C/Gfriends I haGd
Have C/Gused me upG and leDmft
I bet Dmyou hang around
I bet Gyou'll hang around awhile
[Outro]
C/G Fmaj7 Dm G C/G
