• Song:

    Kick

  • Artist:

    Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band

Alright, so - I know this isn't a CO&MVB song, but there's no solo Conor band here 
to put this in.
This is my first tab. I did my best to work out the chords from the main youtube 
video that's going around of Conor playing this and You Are Your Mom's, which is 
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfW5cYIIqHc.
For the lyrics I did my best to work out what they were from a bootleg with better audio.

NOTE: There are a number of places where the lyrics are most likely wrong (but I 
did pretty well with the U.S city names seeing as I'm from Australia) so I'm sorry.

Please comment and lemme know how I did :) email issues or suggestions to
