Barbary Coast Later chords by Conor Oberst

Intro:

D D/G


Verse 1:

D
There's a dance hall there
Where the sick folks go
D/G
Like the olden days on the Barbary Coast
D                    D/G
There's a barefoot child playing in the rain
D
You can sell your wares even if they're hard
D/G
In the great bazaar or the parking lot
D                   D/G
Cause it takes a while to know who to blame
D

I might have a taste cause the first one's free
D/G
And the checkout girl's got a thing for me
D                    D/G
And they're both as sweet as the day is long


Chorus:

Em         A
I don't wanna feel stuck, baby
Em        A       D
I just wanna get drunk before noon


Verse 2:

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


Chorus:

Em            A
I don't want you to feel sad, baby
Em        A        D
I take everything back, I swear I do


Bridge:

      Em   D     A
Cause once all the friends I had
   D    A   Bm
Have used me up and left
   A
I bet you hang around
   A
I bet you'll hang around awhile
