Kick chords by Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band

Chords with lyrics

Alright, so - I know this isn't a CO&MVB song, but there's no solo Conor band here
to put this in.
This is my first tab. I did my best to work out the chords from the main youtube
video that's going around of Conor playing this and You Are Your Mom's, which is
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfW5cYIIqHc.
For the lyrics I did my best to work out what they were from a bootleg with better audio.

NOTE: There are a number of places where the lyrics are most likely wrong (but I
did pretty well with the U.S city names seeing as I'm from Australia) so I'm sorry.

Please comment and lemme know how I did :) email issues or suggestions to

 D MajorD          E7E7   A augmentedA
Kick, you know you're still a kid
      D MajorD    E7E7    A augmentedA
And your diets too full of additives.
 D MajorD        E7E7     A augmentedA      F#F#
Passed out on the couch with ashes in your mouth
  Bm7Bm7              E7E7
Dreaming that you're hopping the fence.
    D MajorD        E7E7    A augmentedA
This world must have it out for you
     D MajorD      E7E7      A augmentedA
From the shores of Montauk up to Malibu.
   D MajorD       E7E7       A augmentedA      F#F#
The trappings of a name that you never could escape,
    Bm7Bm7            E7E7
These people want to live in the past.
    Bm7Bm7            E7E7
Some golden age that they never had.

B minorBm
I thought we lost that Camelot
E7E7
I thought we lost that Camelot
A7A7
Some children story we forgot,
F*      B minorBm  E7E7
Grew old so long ago.

 D MajorD        E7E7   A augmentedA
Kick its hard to make a friend
    D MajorD         E7E7    A augmentedA
In a world that's this cruel and partisan.
   D MajorD        E7E7      A augmentedA      F#F#
But you should go in style to Stockholm for a while,
 Bm7Bm7          E7E7
Live outside oblivions lense.

  D MajorD          E7E7   A augmentedA
Someday you'll have a fine divorce,
    D MajorD    E7E7    A augmentedA
and a cemetery plot in Hyannisport.
   D MajorD          E7E7       A augmentedA    F#F#
Next time you close your eyes on that helicopter ride,
  Bm7Bm7            E7E7
I hope you see it isn't your fault.
  Bm7Bm7            E7E7
I hope you know it isn't your fault.

B minorBm
I thought we shot that Camelot
E7E7
I thought they shot that Camelot
A7A7
Whoever shot this movie stop
F*        B minorBm     E7E7
BB wrote; said the show must go.    - This line is probably the most wrong


FILL: A augmentedA    A?(finger on B-string up to the 3rd fret)

 A augmentedA
Lying in the office on an old chaise-lounge
 B minorBm
Listening to the doctor drone.
 D MajorD                DmDm
No therapeutic feeling once the shock wears's off,
 A7A7          E7E7
Answer every question 'no'.

 A augmentedA
Hiding in the hammock with the shades pulled down
 B minorBm
Wondering if the story's broke.
 D MajorD            DmDm
Tragedy is profit once the word gets out,
 A7A7           E7E7
Tabloids at the country store.


 A augmentedA
Searching on the tables once the bar's closed down,
 B minorBm
said somebody stole your phone.
 D MajorD                    DmDm
Now there's no-one to talk to but these trust-fund drunks,
 A7A7             E7E7
You should have brought a chaperone.

 A augmentedA
Well Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count,
 B minorBm
Friendship makes you paranoid.
 D MajorD                DmDm
I don't believe in curses, but I just might now.
 A7A7          E7E7
I never really had a choice.
      F*       DmDm
Just like all your broken toys.

REPEAT FILL

   D MajorD          E7E7   A augmentedA
Well Kick, you know this life is rich.
    D MajorD        E7E7    A augmentedA
But pleasure's not the same as happiness.
   D MajorD       E7E7        A augmentedA       F#F#
But if you don't collide with the traffic in your mind,
  Bm7Bm7               E7E7
I think you'll find your way out of this.
  Bm7Bm7             E7E7
I hope you find your way out of this.

REPEAT FILL
