Get Well Cards chords by Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band

Intro:

G Bm C Em x2


Verse:

       G                       Bm
All the peacock people left the plumes in a pile
C                      Em
They look good to a fault
       G                         Bm
And the Gulf water's warm like a bathtub
        C                   D
Full of lavender and epsom salt

       G                       Bm
See a bleach blond boy put his long board down
        C                       Em
Help his girl get her sunscreen on
      G                        Bm
I thought about you in your little house
            C                      D
Think you're lonely but I could be wrong and...


Pre Chorus:

C                D
I wanna be your bootlegger
C                          D
Wanna mix you up something strange
C                      D
Braid your hair like a sister
C                     D
Maim you like a hurricane


Chorus:

G              D                              C      Em
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
          G             D           C          D
He's got a letter to deliver, but I can't stay mad, oh
G              D                              C      Em
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
            G                  D
He's got a get-well-card to deliver
          C         Am                 C         G
He's gonna do it by hand, he's gonna do it by hand


Interlude:

G Bm C Em x2


Verse:

          G                    Bm
Now they drive the cars up and down the beach
        C                      Em
It's ridiculous and everybody knows
         G                    Bm
Hear the Mustangs rev at the four way stop
        C                          D
You get ghosted when the light says go

         G                       Bm
But in a town like this, in the checkered flag dawn
         C                           Em
It's so empty you could make somebody dream
     G                      Bm
So maybe it's you, in your four-post bed
       C                                  D
Fell asleep with still the blood in your teeth and...


Pre Chorus:

C                  D
I wanna be your happiness
C                             D
I wanna be your common sense pain
C                     D
Wrap your head in a picket fence
C                     D
Rebuild after the hurricane


Chorus:

G              D                              C      Em
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
          G             D           C              D
He's got my letters to deliver, but I'm still not mad
G              D                              C      Em
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
            G                  D
He's got a get-well-card to deliver
          C         Am
He's gonna do it by hand,
            C                 D
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
           Bm                 C
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
           Am                 D            G
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it... by hand
