Damien Jurado – Rehearsals For Departure (Ukulele)

E              E7                   
I'll come down tomorrow morning

E/F#                E
And meet you at our new location

E                E7
In front of City Bookstore

E/F#                       E
Across the street from the railway station

E/F#
She tells me how her night was spent

E
Nursing coffee and cigarettes

E/F#
You waited til your husband left

E
To pack your things and off you went

E/F#
He wouldn't notice that you'd left

E
Til morning when the drink wore off

E/F#
He stayed out all night with his friends

E
Never to return again

E                E7
In front of City Bookstore

E/F#                               E
Across the street from the railway station

E                     E7
You show up with your suitcase

E/F#              E
Ten dollars and a sad expression

E/F#
She tells me that it's all over now

E
She's done her time and now she's out

E/F#
From the prison that she calls a house

E
Where she stayed put while he went out

E/F#
She left him a note taped to the door

E
Saying, "Babe I won't be back no more

E/F#
I can't find reasons for me to stay

E
Married to you and your cheating ways."

C#m                   E
Walked her out to the train

C#m              E
Couldn't hide my pain

E/F#
Or these tears that flow 

                           E
That September morning, 1959
