Chords for Dave Rawlings & Gillian Welch - Method Acting + Cortez The Killer

Yeah, that was _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ a song.
That was a [Eb] song. _ _ _
There's one [G] song.
_ Are you ready for a really long depressing song?
[Fm] Sure you are.
_ _ Okay.
[A] _ _ It's what we do _ best.
_ It's a little early in the season yet.
We haven't achieved full cloud cover, but [Fm] you know.
Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ Alright. _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] There's no _ [Fm] beginning _ to the story.
_ The bookshelf [Cm] sinks into the sand.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ And [Db] a language learned and forgotten term.
[Ab] _
I studied once again.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ [Fm] It's a shocking bit of footage. _
_ _ [Cm] Seen on a shitty TV screen. _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Db] You can squint at it.
Each know he's static.
_ [Ab] _ To make out what it [Eb] means. _
_ And [Fm] keep stretching that antenna. _ _
_ [Cm] Hoping that it will come clear.
_ [Ab]
We [Db] need some reception.
A higher _ message.
_ [Ab] Please tell me what [Gm] to feel. _
_ [Ab] Cause [Db] I _ don't [Eb] know. _
What [Ab] _ _ tomorrow _ _ _ brings.
_ [Db] _
_ It's a _ life with [Eb] _ such _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ possibility.
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
But I _ know [Eb] that I _ feel _ [Ab] better _ when [Db] I _ sing. _ _ _ _ _
Burdens [Ab] [C] are lifted _ from me. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ That's my [Fm] voice _ _ _ _ _ _
rising.
_ [Cm] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _

_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ So Timo [Fm] please keep the tape rolling.
_ [Gm] You keep _ strumming that guitar.
_ We [Ab] need a record [Db] of our failures.
_ [Ab] We must _ document [Eb] our lives.
_ _ I [Fm] sat too long in my silence.
_ _ [Gm] I've grown too _ old in my _ pain.
_ To [Db] shed this skin.
Be born again.
[Ab] It starts with an [Eb] ending. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] And I [Db] _ don't know. _
_ What [Abm] _ _
tomorrow brings.
_ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ It's _ full of [Eb] _ such _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
possibility.
_ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ But I know that [Eb] I _ _ _ [Ab] feel better when _ I _ sing. _ _ _
_ _ Burdens [C] are lifted _ from me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That's my voice _ [Fm] _ rising.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm]
It's _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Cm] _

_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
not a _ _ movie.
[Cm] _ _ _ No _ private _ screening.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ This _ method [F] acting. _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ I call it _ [F] living.
_ _ [Db] _ _ It's like a _ family.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ The door is open. _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ We have a problem.
We have a problem.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ With no _ solution. _ _
But [Db] to _ _ love. _ _ _
[Ab] And to [C] be _ _ _ loved. _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [Fm] _ _ _

[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
So [Db] _ thank you _ [Eb] friends. _ _
For the [Ab] _ time _ we've [Db] shared. _ _
Your love _ stays [Eb] with me. _
_ Like _ [Ab] sunlight _ in [Db] _ air.
_ Though I _ truly _ [Eb] _ wish I could [Ab] keep hanging _ _ _ _ [Db] around here.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _
My _ joy [C] is _ currently. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Soon I will _ _ [Fm] _ disappear. _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ He [Fm] came dancing _ across the water.
_ _ _ [Eb] With his _ _ galleons in love.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
Searching for the new world.
_ And the palace in the _ sun.
_ _ _ [Fm] On the shore lay [Fm] _ Montezuma.
_ _ _ [Eb] With his coca leaves and pearls.
_ _ [Bbm] In his halls he often _ _
[F] wandered.
_ [Bbm] The secrets of the _ world.
_ _ _ [F] [Fm] And his subjects _ gathered round him.
_ [Eb] Like the leaves _ around the tree.
_ _ _ [Bbm] In the clothes of many _ _ colors.
_ For the angry _ gods to see.
_ _ [F] And the women _ [Fm] all were _ beautiful.
_ _ [Eb]
And the men stood straight and strong. _ _ _
[Bb] _ They offered [Fm] _
life in [F] sacrifice. _ _
[Bbm] So that others could go on. _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Fm] _ It was just a [Cm] legend.
And the story goes. _
[Bb] _ War was [Eb] never _ known.
[Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ People worked together.
_ _ [F] _
And they lifted [Fm] many _ _ [F] stones. _ _
And [Fm] they carried them to the _ _ flatlands.
[Eb] But they died _ along the way. _ _
[Bbm] And they built up with their bare _ [F]
hands.
What [Bbm] we still can't do _ today.
[F] _
_ [Fm] And I know she's living _ there.
_ _ [Bb] And she loves me to [Eb] this day.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
Just can't remember [F] where.
_ _ [Bbm] Or how I lost my _ _ way.
