Hejira (Ver2) Chords

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) 🎸 Verse 1: G I'm traveling in some vehicle C I'm sitting in some cafe F C A defector from the petty wars G That shell shock love away G F There's comfort in melancholy C When there's no need to explain F It's just as natural as the weather G In this moody sky today C In our possessive coupling G D So much could not be expressed C D So now I'm returning to myself D These things that you and I suppressed C I see something of myself in everyone G Just at this moment of the world D As snow gathers like bolts of lace C Waltzing on a ballroom girl

Am F Bb 🎸 Verse 2: D G You know it never has been easy C Whether you do or you do not resign F C Whether you travel the breadth of extremities G Or stick to some straighter line G C Now here's a man and a woman sitting on a rock F C They're either going to thaw out or freeze C Listen ... Strains of Benny Goodman F Coming through the snow and the pinewood trees C I'm porous with travel fever G But you know I'm so glad to be on my own C Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger D Can set up trembling in my bones C I know no one's going to show me everything G We all come and go unknown D Each so deep and superficial C Between the forceps and the stone Am Bb F 🎸 Verse 3: G Well I looked at the granite markers C Those tribute to finality to eternity C And then I looked at myself here G Chicken scratching for my immortality D In the church they light the candles C And the wax rolls down like tears C There's the hope and the hopelessness G I've witnessed thirty years C We're only particles of change I know I know G Orbiting around the sun C But how can I have that point of view D When I'm always bound and tied to someone C White flags of winter chimneys G Waving truce against the moon D In the mirrors of a modern bank C From the window of a hotel room Am Bb F 🎸 Outro: G I'm traveling in some vehicle C I'm sitting in some cafe F C A defector from the petty wars G Until love sucks me back that way Coda: Am Bb F Am Bb F (Repeat and fade)
