The Mountain Goats – Color In Your Cheeks (Ukulele)

C#m        Ab        A          B
  She came in on the red-eye to Dallas-Fort Worth.

E         Ab       A         B
  All the way from sunny Taipei.

C#m        Ab         A        B
  Skin the color of a walnut shell,

      E           Ab       A                B
And a baseball cap holding down her black hair.

             A             B 
And she came here after midnight.

E                          A
  The hot weather made her feel right at home.

        E      A
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.

                   E          A                B
Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks.

C#m        Ab          A    B
  He drove in from Mexicali no worse for wear.

E          Ab   A        B
  Money to burn, time to kill, but

C#m    Ab      A              B
  Five minutes looking in his eyes and 

         E              Ab             A          B              A
  We all knew he was broken pretty bad, so we gave him what we had.

                              B
We cleared a space for him to sleep in,

               E
And we let the silence that's our trademark

A
Make its presence felt.

        E      A
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.

                   E          A                B
Drink some of this, it'll put color in your cheeks.

C#m         Ab        A       B              E
  They came in by the dozens, walking or crawling.

                Ab      A
Some were bright-eyed,

          B
Some were dead on their feet.

E          Ab           A              B          E
  And they came from Zimbabwe, Or from Soviet Georgia,

           Ab             A                 B               A
East Saint Louis, or from Paris, or they lived across the street.

                               B
But they came, and when they'd finally made it here,

           E                         A                   
It was the least that we could do to make our welcome clear.

        E      A    
Come on in, we haven't slept for weeks.

                   E            A                B
Drink some of this, this'll put color in your cheeks.
