Okkervil River – Kansas City (Ukulele)

    C                     Am
The river is deep and the river is wide,

        C                   C
and the girl that I love is on the other side.

             C
She wants to move to Kansas City

Am
Move to Kansas city

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

      C                   Am
She's walking down Ellum, turning down Main,

C                         C
trying to find someone to sell her cocaine.

             C
She wants to move to Kansas City

Am
Move to Kansas City

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

       C                  Am
With a dayful of promises dead on her lips,

C                 C
Mark 15:34 tucked next to her hip,

             C
she wants to move to Kansas City

Am
Move to Kansas City

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

  C                       Am
I jumped in the water and started to drown.

  C                          C
I thought of her walking and turned back around.

          C
I want to move to Kansas City,

Am

C                            C
Move, pretty baby, where the sky is so blue.

         C                      Am
With her pair of old wings that opened just once,

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

             C
She can even move to Kansas City,

Am
Move to Kansas City

C                           C
Move, pretty baby where the sky is so blue.

         C                          Am
And I'll tell you one thing that you should never do -

      C                C
never let a woman tell you she loves you.

       C                      Am
She'll call you "baby," she'll look in your eye,

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

        C           Am             C                C
bye bye bye bye bye baby. baby bye bye. bye bye bye bye bye bye."

C Am C C
[etc]

    C                         Am
And if I could believe what I want to believe,

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

       C
all of you to Kansas City,

      Am
We'll move to Kansas City

C              C
Move where the sky is so blue...
