No Capo

A5                           B5
The volunteers come for your prayers
              C5
and some souvenirs,
           A5                 B5
With ivory skin and boycott lessons
           C5
Year after year.

G5                                    D5
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space 
              A5
of the bottom bunk,
       C5
Oh Cordova.
G5                    D5
Where I cried and I cried,
                    A5                       C5
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
                         D5
The things that I didn't have.

A5
Now you come to me
          B5              C5
With revolution's, infidelity,
                 A5                     B5
With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin,
                C5
And your big history.


                      G5               D5
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space 
              A5
of the bottom bunk,
   C5
Oh Cordova.
G5                   D5
Where I cried and I cried,
                    A5                       C5
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
                         D5
The things that I didn't have.


A5                B5
I memorize the lullabies
              C5
of dwindling lives.
               A5                      B5
The lay of the land, the touch of each hand
               C5
We lose by and by.

                 G5              D5                  A5
I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,
      C5
Oh Cordova.
        G5           D5
Where I cried and I cried,
             A5                              C5
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
                         D5
The things that I didn't have.
