Jolie Holland - "Alley Flowers" chords
Start Jamming...
[C]
Some people say I got a [G] psychedelic presence [C] shining on the park with a bad luminescence.
Down these city streets I see you coming from [Am] afar and I know, [C] in this world ain't nobody's
got the shine like you got to shine in this world.
Ain't nobody's got the shine like you got to shine in this world.
[Am]
Well nobody sings like [G] Mary Sue Bell and nobody prays like William Lentell.
Nobody [C] walks in my [G] hall and my store [C] without shoes like I do.
In this world [Am] ain't nobody's got the shine like you [C] got to shine in this world.
Ain't nobody's got the shine like you got to shine in [G] this world.
[C]
I still miss my lonesome lover and I can't find no single other to take his empty place in my heart of hearts.
I told him in this world ain't nobody's got the shine like you got to shine in this world.
Ain't nobody's got the shine like you got to shine in this world.
[G] [C]
[E] Ghost [C] of Shakespeare's on the street, corduroy hat [G] laying at his [C] feet.
Howling in [G] the heart these dirty [Gm] city [C] blues, falling hard in this world.
Ain't nobody's got the shine like you got to shine in this world.
Ain't nobody's got the shine like you got to shine in this world.
[E] [C]
Oh Zora Neale [G] Hurston told her story in the guitar [C] out [G] of New York City.
[C] Just like Jesus Christ in Galilee like I said in this world.
[Am] Ain't nobody's got the shine like you [C] got to shine in this world.
Ain't nobody's got the shine like you got to shine in this world.
[Em] [Am]
[C]
[G] [C]
Some people say you gotta [G] suck the presents, [C] shine in the park with a [G] bottle of [Am] essence.
Now [G] make me the stage I'll be coming [C] from up on an island.
Now this [Gm] world [C]
is shine like you got to shine in this world.
Ain't
[Am] [G] nobody's got the shine like you [C] got to shine in this world.
[Am] [C#]
