Neko Case – Margaret Vs Pauline (Ukulele)

F                           C
Everything's so easy for Pauline

F                           C
Everything's so easy for Pauline

Am                                  C
Ancient strings set feet a light to speed to her such mild grace

   Am
No monument of tacky gold

     F                      E7
They smoothed her hair with cinnamon waves

         F               C                   
And they placed an ingot in her breast

        E7          F
to burn cool and collected

Am                         C
Fate holds her firm in its cradle

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

E7                          Am      E7  Am
Everything's so easy for Pauline

F                          C
Girl with the parking lot eyes

F                              C
Margaret is the fragments of a name

    Am                          C
Her bravery is mistaken for the thrashing in the lake

       Am                         E7
Of the make-believe monster whose picture was faked

F                              C
Margaret is the fragments of a name

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

    Am                               C
Her jaw aches from wanting and she's sick from chlorine

           E7
But she'll never be as clean

       F                      C
As the cool side of satin, Pauline

   Am      C
Pauliiiiiine

F                       C
Two girls ride the blue line

F                            Am
Two girls walk down the same street

Am                   C
One left her sweater sittin' on the train

    F                               C
The other lost three fingers at the cannery

F               C           E7     Am
Everything's so easy for Pauliiiiiine

       E7    Am
For Pauliiiiine

       F      C
For Pauliiiiine
