Neko Case – Margaret Vs Pauline (Guitar)

C                           G
Everything's so easy for Pauline

C                           G
Everything's so easy for Pauline

Em                                  G
Ancient strings set feet a light to speed to her such mild grace

   Em
No monument of tacky gold

     C                      B7
They smoothed her hair with cinnamon waves

         C               G                   
And they placed an ingot in her breast

        B7          C
to burn cool and collected

Em                         G
Fate holds her firm in its cradle

         C                               C
and then rolls her for a tender pause to savor

B7                          Em      B7  Em
Everything's so easy for Pauline

C                          G
Girl with the parking lot eyes

C                              G
Margaret is the fragments of a name

    Em                          G
Her bravery is mistaken for the thrashing in the lake

       Em                         B7
Of the make-believe monster whose picture was faked

C                              G
Margaret is the fragments of a name

    C                              G
Her love pours like a fountain Her love steams like rage

    Em                               G
Her jaw aches from wanting and she's sick from chlorine

           B7
But she'll never be as clean

       C                      G
As the cool side of satin, Pauline

   Em      G
Pauliiiiiine

C                       G
Two girls ride the blue line

C                            Em
Two girls walk down the same street

Em                   G
One left her sweater sittin' on the train

    C                               G
The other lost three fingers at the cannery

C               G           B7     Em
Everything's so easy for Pauliiiiiine

       B7    Em
For Pauliiiiine

       C      G
For Pauliiiiine
