🎸 Intro:

 E  E4  E | Dadd4add9 | E        | E        :


🎸 Verse 1:
     D                     C
Your long blonding hair of heavy salty sea
       Dsus2                  C
Like a curtain when it closed over and above me
Em      D   Em          D              Em              D   Em
 Locked the vicious sun like the wings of passing gulls
               D                      C         D      D
Empty you held nothing, hollow as the washed-up shells

🎸 Chorus:
  E                   E              E         E
I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
      D                        A                        F#m    F#m
Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind
   C                       C                 D       E    E
A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find
            A                     A/G#
Oh, I still wake up in the morning
F#m            E4        E
 With the Copa on my mind


🎸 Post-Chorus:
 D        | C        | D        | C        :


🎸 Verse 2:
D                        C
Sitting on the rock that looked onto the ocean
D                            C
Walking to the waves as they brewed a magic potion
Em                 D    Em         D             Em       D   Em
 Calling them like faithless dogs, your commands and whims
                          D                          C       D    D
While the crashing on the rocks rose to the sky like ancient hills


🎸 Chorus:
  E                   E              E         E
I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
      D                        A                        F#m    F#m
Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind
   C                       C                 D       E    E
A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find
            A                     A/G#
Oh, I still wake up in the morning
F#m            E4        E
 With the Copa on my mind

 D        | C        | D        | C        :


🎸 Verse 3:
    D                          C
You knew it was the end as you watched me from the gate
Dadd4add9                    C
I waved my boarding pass and didn't hesitate
Em         D    Em          D      Em     D   Em
 Security, security, I took off my shoes
                           D
Turned around and you were gone


🎸 Outro:
E                   E              E         E
Woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
 E        | E        | E        | E        | E        | E        | E        :
