Okkervil River – Kansas City (Guitar)

    D                     Em
The river is deep and the river is wide,

        G                   D
and the girl that I love is on the other side.

             D
She wants to move to Kansas City

Em
Move to Kansas city

  G                  D
 "Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue."

      D                   Em
She's walking down Ellum, turning down Main,

G                         D
trying to find someone to sell her cocaine.

             D
She wants to move to Kansas City

Em
Move to Kansas City

G                             D
"Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue."

       D                  Em
With a dayful of promises dead on her lips,

G                 D
Mark 15:34 tucked next to her hip,

             D
she wants to move to Kansas City

Em
Move to Kansas City

G                             D
"Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue."

  D                       Em
I jumped in the water and started to drown.

  G                          D
I thought of her walking and turned back around.

          D
I want to move to Kansas City,

Em
Move to Kansas City

G                            D
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue.

         D                      Em
With her pair of old wings that opened just once,

        G                             D
she can walk on two feet now, she can go where she wants.

             D
She can even move to Kansas City,

Em
Move to Kansas City

G                           D
Move, pretty baby where the sky is so blue.

         D                          Em
And I'll tell you one thing that you should never do -

      G                D
never let a woman tell you she loves you.

       D                      Em
She'll call you "baby," she'll look in your eye,

            G                        D
then she'll get on that airplane and wave "bye bye bye

        D           Em             G                D
bye bye bye bye bye baby. baby bye bye. bye bye bye bye bye bye."

D Em G D
[etc]

    D                         Em
And if I could believe what I want to believe,

    G                      D
I'd hold you all close and take you with me,

       D
all of you to Kansas City,

      Em
We'll move to Kansas City

G              D
Move where the sky is so blue...
