Carolyn Mark & NQ Arbuckle - Officer Down

G
officer down

.........................C
Juliet Echo November

.............G
and the room falls apart but we'll pick it up

.............................C
and put it back together

Em..............................G
wake me up early and get dressed

........................C
and take me to breakfast

.........Em...............................G
and I don't even notice you coughing

.............C
into my coffee

........Em............G.............C
it's a shot in the dark but I don't think that

................Am
I've fallen further

Em.........G..........C
beautiful storms dancing like

...............Am
vodka December

........................C
like vodka December


drunk while you're asleep
I sneak around the bed like a burglar
and you don't even notice when
I knock over your glass of water
it's hard to be a good man listening
to the Drive-By Truckers
but you're so good to me it's weird
I think I'm happy
it's a shot in the dark but I don't think that
I've fallen further
beautiful storms dancing like
vodka December
like vodka December

pick me up from work
Juliet Echo November
how was you're day, I'm ok
what do you want for dinner
tired and kinda of crazy
what would you name the baby
but for everything we've got
and you mean everything to me
it's a shot in the dark but I don't think that
I've fallen further
beautiful storms dancing like
vodka December
like vodka December
like vodka December
like vodka December

Magnolia Electric Co - Shenandoah

Bm................E......................A
Shenandoah how long will I miss you

Bm.................E........................A
tonight you're far away as the Kentucky moon

........F#m..................E...........................Bm
and I know you hold a secret of mine or two

Bm...............E................................A
tonight little darling my heart's with you

Wabash between us
fill the cannonball blues
maybe I really did see the light
halfway to Heaven's fine, but I could not be sure
halfway is all there ever was
and I know that you hold a secret of yours or two
tonight little darling my heart's with you

there's just so much a man can miss
and just no end to what he can regret
and I'm holding on to whatever hope shall get through
and tonight little darling my heart's with you
tonight little darling my heart's with you

Rift on A

.....F
on something I believe in

G
stolen car

F
shipping and receiving

I wish I was smooth around the edges
with I was able to jump up ledges and catch my balance
wish I could hope for something too big to come true
oh I wish I could wish enough
and maybe hope for you

how can the second time be an accident
how can the second time be an accident
didn't you know what would happen
could you smell that one coming
well where was your head at
oh I work hard
on something I believe in
stolen car
shipping and receiving

how can the second time be an accident
how can the second time be an accident...

Magnolia Electric Co - O! Grace

Capo IV

D......................................Bm
she said I've been the stockyard's pony

.................D.............................Bm............A
she said I've been the mountain engine's roll

........G............................D
from Chicago to West Virginia

...................Bm.......................A...............Em
I've been as lonesome as the world's first ghost

G.......................................D
as lonesome as the world's first ghost

but out here even the prairie doubts the horizon
all I have to do is prove that I'm not pure
oh the right words come but I ain't talking
the devil's mean but he's honest just as sure
oh he is honest just as sure

A..................................G.......D
oh grace when you stop believing

A.......................................G........D
that don't mean that it just goes away

........A..........................G........D
it's a long way between horizons

...............Bm........A.........Em
and it gets farther every day

G....A.....G.....D
oh grace, oh grace

oh grace when you stop believing
that don't mean that it just goes away
it's a long way between horizons
and it gets farther every day
oh grace, oh grace

she says but I know a man who's heart is restless
he's never home and he's never gone
and he had some good things but he lost them
like everything he ever set his heart upon
oh that he set that heart upon

oh boy if you stop believing
that don't mean that I just walk away
it's a long way between horizons
and it gets farther every day
oh grace
oh grace
