Originally for the piano so these are the basic guitar chords, don't hesitate to 
experiment with altered voicings!

No Capo

Am                           Bm
The volunteers come for your prayers
              C
and some souvenirs,
           Am                 Bm
With ivory skin and boycott lessons
           C
Year after year.

G                                    D
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space 
              Am
of the bottom bunk,
       C
Oh Cordova.
G                    D
Where I cried and I cried,
                    Am                       C
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
                         D
The things that I didn't have.

Am
Now you come to me
          Bm              C
With revolution's, infidelity,
                 Am                     Bm
With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin,
                C
And your big history.


                      G               D
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space 
              Am
of the bottom bunk,
   C
Oh Cordova.
G                   D
Where I cried and I cried,
                    Am                       C
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
                         D
The things that I didn't have.


Am                Bm
I memorize the lullabies
              C
of dwindling lives.
               Am                      Bm
The lay of the land, the touch of each hand
               C
We lose by and by.

                 G              D                  Am
I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,
      C
Oh Cordova.
        G           D
Where I cried and I cried,
             Am                              C
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
                         D
The things that I didn't have.
