Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band – Get-Well-Cards (Guitar)

  G                        D
A peacock, people left the plumes in a pile

C                 D
They look good to fold

        G                 D
And the Gulf water's warm like a bathtub

C                          D
Full of lavender and epsom salt

      G                        D
See a bleach blond boy put his longboard down

C                               D
Help his girl get her sunscreen on

  G                         D
I thought about you in your little house

              C                     D
Think you're lonely but I could be wrong and...

C            D
I wanna be a bootlegger

C                          D
Wanna mix you up something strange

C                      D
Braid your hair like a sister

C                    D
Maim you like a hurricane

G                       D       C               D
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand

G                      D            C          D
He's got a letter to deliver, but I can't stay mad

G                       D       C               D
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand

           G                  D
He's got a get-well-card to deliver

           C        D                C        D
He's gonna do it by hand, he's gonna do it by hand

         G                     D
Now they drive the cars up and down the beach

        C                     D
It's ridiculous and everybody knows

         G                   D
Hear the Mustangs rev at the four way stop

        C                           D
You get ghosted when the light says go

         G                      D
But in a town like this, in the chequered flag dawn

         C                            D
It's so empty you could make somebody dream

   G                       D
So maybe it's you, in your four-post bed

      C                               D
Found asleep with still blood in your teeth and...

  C                D
I wanna be your happiness

  C                D
I wanna be your common sense pain

  C                 D
Wrap your head in a picket fence

  C                D
Rebuild after the hurricane

G                       D       C               D
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand

G                      D            C          D
He's got a letter to deliver, but i'm still not mad

G                       D       C               D
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand

           G                  D
He's got a get-well-card to deliver

           C        D               
He's gonna do it by hand,

           C                 D 
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it

           B                 C
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it,

           D                             G
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it... by hand

G                       D       C               D
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand

G                      D            C          D
He's got a letter to deliver, but I can't stay mad

G                       D       C               D
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand

           G                  D
He's got a headstack now to deliver

           C        D           
He's gonna do it by hand,  

           C                 D 
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it

           B                 C
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it,

           D                             G
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it... by hand
