I checked before writing this tab to see if there was another one up, there wasn't at time. This version has all the verses and a couple of slight differences to the other one I'll put it up anyway. Have a look at the notes at the bottom for some of the Tabbed from the version included in the 'One Of My Kind' Documentary. Artist: Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band Song: One Of My Kind Intro: F
            F
I can't live in this city
But I was born here
          Dm
And I know all these people
Where they went to high school
A#
Where they got their angle
Here they waited tables
C
Still call me brother
Like Cain and Abel
     F
There, see all those old men
How'd they get so swollen?
    Dm
I got so many broke friends
Who say I owe them
        A#m
From when we were children
How did it happen?
C
Where is it going?

                           Dm
Is that your question, man?

                   A#m              Dm
Where does all your frustration lie?

           C                               Dm
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?

            A#m
Just try and have a good time

F   C   Dm   A A#m
All the rest aside

                           F
You're still one of my kind
F A Dm C
             F
I can't think in this city
But I remember
      Dm
I know every story that it ever told me

A#
Well, I got the blueprint
To create my own myth
C
That's what made it tragic
Like a summer snowdrift
      F
Yeah, going to call my first love
Meet her at the new club
Dm
Tell her all that I've done
Finally be forgiven
A#
And get good and drunk

A#m
Like it feels you're young

C
There are things against us

                              Dm
But I will fight tooth and nail

             A#m               Dm
Stand in the sickening sunshine

      C                     Dm
After staying out all night

          A#m
And maybe it's the good life

F   C   Dm   A A#m
All the rest aside

C   Dm   A A#m
The rest aside

C   Dm   A A#m
The rest aside

                           F
You're still one of my kind
F A Dm C
            F
I can't live in this city
But I'll probably die here
Dm
Maybe that's how you feel
Like a poisoned cornfield
A#
Like a best friend backstabbed
An abandoned train track
C
We're living straight-lined

                       F
Are you one of my kind?
F A Dm C F Notes: Each time after the lyrics '..one of my kind' Conor plays F A Dm C (as shown above). For chord he plays a little variation the general variation for each chord is tabbed out as F' A' Dm' and C' but as usual a little improvisation around these when listening to song will show you what sounds right. F' = 133200 A' = x02200 Dm' = x00320 C' = x32000 For the 3rd chord in each verse Conor seems to alternate between A# (odd verses) and A#m verses) for verse 4 i've tabbed A# then A#m (seeing as this is what he appears to play the video) I think this might be a mistake and he meant A#m but started on A# then after realising. Anyway it's a minor detail and seeing as it's am unreleased song i we can't tell, but just a thought. Enjoy!
