Okkervil River – Singer Songwriter (Ukulele)

           F           G            C
Your great-grandfather was a great lawyer

        F          G            C
And his kid made a mint off the war

     F           G               C
Your father shot stills and then directed films

          F          G      C
That your mom did publicity for

      G                     F
I saw your older sis on the year's best book list

         C                   G
And your brother, he manages bands

                                         F
And you're keen to down play, but you're quick to betray

         C                     G
With one welt and that wave of your hand

              C
You come from wealth

       F                  G             C
What a bitch, they didn't give you much else

        F           G             C
I heard cuts by The Kinks on your speakers

      F         G            C 
I saw Poe and Artaud on your shelves

          F                  G             C
While The Last Laugh's first scene on your flat panel screen

       F               G              C
Lit Chanel that you've wrapped around yourself

           G                  F          
You've got outsider art by an artist you arguably 

C                       G
kidnapped to pin on the wall

                          F
Your designers have slyly directed the eye 

     C                                 G
down pink lines here and your well lit pawn

           C
You've got taste, you've got taste

       F          G                   C
What a waste that that's all that you have

                   F             G         C
Oh, you wrote your thesis on the gospel of Thomas

              F        G              C
You shot some reversal film in Angkor Wat

         F             G                 C                              
And this book you once read said there's less people dead at this point 

F        G             C
now than those who are not

         G                    F
And this film we once saw was reviled for it's flaws

         C                            G
But it's flaws were what made us have fun

        G                         F 
And the life some folks had might have made us feel bad

         C                      G
Why feel bad? Man, it's nothing you've done

                 C
It's all in your hand

       F           G             C
Like a gun, like a glove, like a grand

         G                       F
And this thing you once said disappeared from my head

       C                        G
In the time that it took to be amazed

         G                             F
And this thing you once did might have dazzled the kids

             C                            G
But the kids once grown up are gonna walk away

         F        G            C
And your world is gonna change nothing

         F        G            C
And your world is gonna change nothing

        F        G            C
And our world is gonna change nothing

        F        G            C
And our world is gonna change nothing

        F        G            C
And our world is gonna change nothing
