Sufjan Stevens – Romulus (Guitar)

G             D/F#       Am   C
Once when our mother called, 

G         D/F#        Am             C
She had a voice of last year's cough.

G          D/F#           Am   C
We passed around the phone,

G         D/F#     Am       C
Sharing a word about Oregon.

G             D/F# Am      C
When my turn came, I was ashamed.

G             D/F# Am      C
When my turn came, I was ashamed.

G             D/F#       Am   C
Once when we moved away,

G            D/F#   Am        C
She came to Romulus for a day.

G         D/F#          Am   C
Her Chevrolet broke down.

G              D/F#      Am               C
We prayed it'd never be fixed or be found.

G              D/F#  Am             C
We touched her hair, we touched her hair.

G              D/F#  Am             C
We touched her hair, we touched her hair.

G             D/F#      Am    C
When she had her last child,

G             D/F#        Am                 C
Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild.

G           D/F#        Am    C
She moved away quite far.

G            D/F#         Am     C
Our grandpa bought us a new VCR.

G                  D/F#      Am           C
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it.

G                  D/F#      Am           C
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it.

G           D/F#        Am  C
We saw her once last fall.

G            D/F#       Am         C
Our grandpa died in a hospital gown.

G           D/F#        Am   C
She didn't seem to care.

    G              D/F#    Am               C
She smoked in her room and colored her hair.

G       D/F#   Am      C
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

G       D/F#   Am      C
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

G       D/F#   Am      C
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

G       D/F#   Am        C      G
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
