John Moreland - East October

E
Looking backwards, all my pictures

................A...........................E
Look like send ups of stolen scripture

E
We were children dressed up like men

..............A...........................E
Painting places we'd never been


A....................................E
How'm I ever gonna get by

A.....................................E.......B.........A
How'm I ever gonna get by all by myself

Well I'm trying to keep it simple
But ain't these gods so damn fickle
You're stiff and strong, then you're scared and sober
North Carolina in East October

How'm I ever gonna get by
How'm I ever gonna get by all by myself
How'm I ever gonna get by
How'm I ever gonna get by all by myself

Tell me when and where you learned it
You built your chapel and then you burned it
Was it Satan or the Second Coming
The soul you're bearing, the song you're strumming

How'm I ever gonna get by
How'm I ever gonna get by all by myself
How'm I ever gonna get by
How'm I ever gonna get by all by myself
