Cordova



Originally for the piano so these are the basic guitar chords, don't hesitate to 

experiment with altered voicings!



No Capo



Am                           Bm

The volunteers come for your prayers

              C

and some souvenirs,

           Am                 Bm

With ivory skin and boycott lessons

           C

Year after year.



G                                    D

Well I'm tracing your face up in the space 

              Am

of the bottom bunk,

       C

Oh Cordova.

G                    D

Where I cried and I cried,

                    Bm                       C

I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,

                         D

The things that I didn't have.



Am

Now you come to me

          Bm              C

With revolution's, infidelity,

                 Am                     Bm

With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin,

                C

And your big history.





                      G               D

Well I'm tracing your face up in the space 

              Am

of the bottom bunk,

   C

Oh Cordova.

G                   D

Where I cried and I cried,

                    Bm                       C

I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,

                         D

The things that I didn't have.





Am                Bm

I memorize the lullabies

              C

of dwindling lives.

               Am                      Bm

The lay of the land, the touch of each hand

               C

We lose by and by.



                 G              D                  Am

I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,

      C

Oh Cordova.

        G           D

Where I cried and I cried,

             Bm                              C

I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,

                         D

The things that I didn't have.
