Chords with lyrics
Great track off of Conor's new solo album, Upside Down Mountain.
Standard tuning, no capo.
E MajorE
E
He came with his friends, in a caravan
G#G# A augmentedA
To witness the governor's ball
E MajorE
Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass
A augmentedA BB
While the rest stood like bricks in a wall
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
The stage it looked like a vending machine
G#G# C# minorC#m
The singer, a black barbie doll
E MajorE A augmentedA
But it was well light, and well managed
E MajorE A augmentedA
So no property, would be damaged
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
Until his boredom, took full advantage
E MajorE
Of it all
E MajorE
Talked to a girl, with klonopin eyes
G#G# A augmentedA
Who said she had jewelry to sell
E MajorE
First he said no thanks, then he realized
A augmentedA BB
That he wasn't feeling that well
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And the turquoise she held looked like pieces of sky
G#G# C# minorC#m
And a garnet like teardrops from hell
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
She offered, him a necklace, and he wanted to accept it
E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE
But it would end up, too expensive, he could tell
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA BB
Then she said: "Why not? What have you got, to lose, to lose?"
E MajorE
E MajorE
When he never came back, and the curfew had passed
G#G# A augmentedA
His friends searched the fair grounds for clues
E MajorE
But the security guard with the maniacal laugh
A augmentedA BB
Said its always the leader you lose
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
When he finally turned up in the broad light of day
G#G# C# minorC#m
With a black eye as big as the moon
E MajorE A augmentedA
They all asked him, what had happened
E MajorE A augmentedA
Was it real or, all imagined
E MajorE BB A augmentedA E MajorE
Why on earth had, he abandoned them so soon
And he said:
A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m A augmentedA BB
"Why not? I do what I've got, to do, and so should you, you"
E MajorE BB A augmentedA x3
