Barbary Coast Later chords by Conor Oberst

Chords with lyrics

Intro:

D MajorD D/G


Verse 1:

D MajorD
There's a dance hall there
Where the sick folks go
D/G
Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast
D MajorD                    D/G
There's a barefoot child playing in the rain
D MajorD
You can sell your wares even if they're hard
D/G
In the great bazaar or the parking lot
D MajorD                   D/G
Cause it takes a while to know who to blame
D MajorD
I might have a taste cause the first one's free
D/G
And the checkout girl's got a thing for me
D MajorD                    D/G
And they're both as sweet as the day is long

Chorus:

E minorEm         A augmentedA
I don't wanna feel stuck, baby
E minorEm        A augmentedA       D MajorD
I just wanna get drunk before noon


Verse 2:

D MajorD
I don't mind my head when there's room to dream
D/G
Feel like Paul Gauguin painting breadfruit trees
D MajorD                  D/G
In some far off place where I don't belong
D MajorD
Try to lose myself in the primitive
D/G
In Yosemite like John Muir did
D MajorD                      D/G
But his eyes were blue and mine are red and raw
D MajorD
'Cause the modern world is a sight to see
D/G
It's a stimulant, it's pornography
D MajorD                 D/G
It takes all my will not to turn it off

Chorus:

E minorEm            A augmentedA
I don't want you to feel sad, baby
E minorEm        A augmentedA        D MajorD
I take everything back, I swear I do


Bridge:

      E minorEm   D MajorD     A augmentedA
Cause once all the friends I had
   D MajorD    A augmentedA   B minorBm
Have used me up and left
   A augmentedA
I bet you hang around
   A augmentedA
I bet you'll hang around awhile


Outro:
