Governers Ball chords by Conor Oberst

Great track off of Conor's new solo album, Upside Down Mountain.
Standard tuning, no capo.
E
E
He came with his friends, in a caravan
   G#                     A
To witness the governor's ball
E
Sat by himself on a cool patch of grass
          A                           B
While the rest stood like bricks in a wall
    C#m                    A
The stage it looked like a vending machine
    G#                     C#m
The singer, a black barbie doll
           E                    A
But it was well light, and well managed
      E                   A
So no property, would be damaged
          E                  B   A
Until his boredom, took full advantage
      E
Of it all
E

Talked to a girl, with klonopin eyes
    G#                      A
Who said she had jewelry to sell
E
First he said no thanks, then he realized
     A                      B
That he wasn't feeling that well
        C#m                            A
And the turquoise she held looked like pieces of sky
      G#                         C#m
And a garnet like teardrops from hell
    E              A                E            A
She offered, him a necklace, and he wanted to accept it
             E           B    A              E
But it would end up, too expensive, he could tell
              A     E   A              E       F#m      A   B
Then she said: "Why not? What have you got, to lose, to lose?"
E
        E
When he never came back, and the curfew had passed
    G#                                    A
His friends searched the fair grounds for clues
        E
But the security guard with the maniacal laugh
         A                     B
Said its always the leader you lose
        C#m                      A
When he finally turned up in the broad light of day
       G#                      C#m
With a black eye as big as the moon
         E                   A
They all asked him, what had happened
      E              A
Was it real or, all imagined
       E             B        A        E
Why on earth had, he abandoned them so soon
And he said:
 A   E    A              E       F#m               A    B
"Why not? I do what I've got, to do, and so should you, you"

E  B A  x3
