Indigo Girls
Cordova
Originally for the piano so these are the basic guitar chords, don t hesitate to
experiment with altered voicings!
No Capo
The volunteers come for your prayers
and some souvenirs,
With ivory skin and boycott lessons
Year after year.
Well I m tracing your face up in the space
of the bottom bunk,
Oh Cordova.
Where I cried and I cried,
I knew I was trading on things that I didn t have,
The things that I didn t have.
Now you come to me
With revolution s, infidelity,
With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin,
And your big history.
Well I m tracing your face up in the space
of the bottom bunk,
Oh Cordova.
Where I cried and I cried,
I knew I was trading on things that I didn t have,
The things that I didn t have.
I memorize the lullabies
of dwindling lives.
The lay of the land, the touch of each hand
We lose by and by.
I m tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,
Oh Cordova.
Where I cried and I cried,
I knew I was trading on things that I didn t have,
The things that I didn t have.
