Conor Oberst - Barbary Coast (Later) (Official Audio) chords
Start Jamming...
There's a dance hall there
Where the sick folks go
[G] like the olden [G] days
on the Barbary coast
[D] There's a barefoot child
She's playing in [G] the rain
[D] You can sell your wares
Even if they're hot
[G] in the great bazaar
or the parking lot
[D] Because it takes a while
To know who to blame
I might have a taste
Because the first one's free and the checkout girls
[G] Got a thing for me [D] and they're both as sweet as the day [G] is long
[E]
[Em] I
Don't wanna feel [A] stuck
baby, [Em] I
[E] Just wanna get [A] drunk
before [D] No
I
[G]
[E] [A]
[D]
Don't mind my head
When there's room to [G] dream
Feel like Paul Gauguin
painting breadfruit [D] trees
In some far-off place
Where I [G] don't belong
[D] Try to lose myself
in the primitive
[G] in Yosemite
Like John Muir did
[D] But his eyes were blue
in minor [G] red and raw
[D] Cuz the modern world
Is a sight to see
[G] It's a stimulant
It's pornography
[D] It takes all my will
Not to [G] turn it off
[Em] Don't want you to feel [A] sad
baby, [Em] I
Take everything [A] back
I swear I [D] do
[G] Cuz once all the [A] friends I had
Have used me up and left.
[Em] I bet you hang around
[A] I bet you hang around a while
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[E] [A]
[E] [Em] [A]
[D]
