?Get Out the Map? by Emily Saliers
--------------------------------------------
(Note: Emily plays this song on a banjo, as near as I can tell. These chords are merely the implied
of the banjo notes. Also, to reproduce the sound exactly, this song should be played with a capo on the first
just moving the chords up a little.)
I?m gonna Fclear my Fhead,
I?m gonna Fdrink that sun.
The Fsaddest Fsight my Feyes can see
Is that Gbig ball of orange sinking Fslyly down the Ftrees.
FSittin? in a broken Fcircle while you Frest upon my knee,
This Dperfect moment will soon be Gleaving me.
FSuzanne calls from FBoston, the coffee's Fhot, the corn is high,
And that Gsame sun that warms your heart will Fsuck the good earth Fdry.
FWith everything its Fopposite enFough to keep you crying,
0 D G
Or keep this old world spinning with a twinkle in its eye.
Get out the Fmap,
Get out the Fmap and lay your Ffinger anywhere down.
We'll leave the figuring to Fthose we pass on our G7way out of town.
Don't drink the Fwater, there Fseems to be something Failing everyone.
I?m gonna clear my Fhead,
I?m gonna Fdrink that sun.
I?m gonna Flove you good and strong while our G7love is good and Fyoung.
Joni left for South Africa a few years ago
And then Beth took a job all the way over on the west coast
And me I?m still trying to live half a life on the road
Seems I?m Dheavier by the year
(heavier by the year)
And hGeavier by the load
(heavier by the load)
Why do we hurtle ourselves through every inch of time and space?
I must say around some corner I can sense a resting place.
With every lesson learned a line upon your beautiful face,
We'll amuse ourselves one day with these memories we'll trace
Get out the map,
Get out the map and lay your finger anywhere down.
We'll leave the figuring to those we pass on our way out of town.
Don't drink the water, there seems to be something ailing everyone.
I?m gonna clear my head,
(I?m gonna clear my head)
I?m gonna drink that sun,
(I?m gonna drink that sun)
I?m gonna love you good and strong while our love is good and young.
FI?m gonna clear my Fhead,
I?m gonna Fdrink that sun,
I?m gonna Flove you good and strong while our G7love is good and Fyoung.
