Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band - Kick

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 :
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
songs . of . love . and . hate66@gmail . com

D E7 A
kick , you know you’re still a kid
D E7 A
and your diets too full of additives .
D E7 A F#
passed out on the couch with ashes in your mouth
Bm7 E7
dreaming that you’re hopping the fence .
D E7 A
this world must have it out for you
D E7 A
from the shores of montauk up to malibu .
D E7 A F#
the trappings of a name that you never could escape ,
Bm7 E7
these people want to live in the past .
Bm7 E7
some golden age that they never had .

Bm
i thought we lost that camelot
E7
i thought we lost that camelot
A7
some children story we forgot ,
F * Bm E7
grew old so long ago .

D E7 A
kick its hard to make a friend
D E7 A
in a world that’s this cruel and partisan .
D E7 A F#
but you should go in style to stockholm for a while ,
Bm7 E7
live outside oblivions lense .

D E7 A
someday you’ll have a fine divorce ,
D E7 A
and a cemetery plot in hyannisport .
D E7 A F#
next time you close your eyes on that helicopter ride ,
Bm7 E7
i hope you see it isn’t your fault .
Bm7 E7
i hope you know it isn’t your fault .

Bm
i thought we shot that camelot
E7
i thought they shot that camelot
A7
whoever shot this movie stop
F * Bm E7
B wrote; said the show must go . – this line is probably the most wrong

fill : A a? ( finger on B – string up to the 3rd fret )

A
lying in the office on an old chaise – lounge
Bm
listening to the doctor drone .
D Dm
no therapeutic feeling once the shock wears’s off ,
A7 E7
answer every question ’no’ .

A
hiding in the hammock with the shades pulled down
Bm
wondering if the story’s broke .
D Dm
tragedy is profit once the word gets out ,
A7 E7
tabloids at the country store .

A
searching on the tables once the bar’s closed down ,
Bm
said somebody stole your phone .
D Dm
now there’s no – one to talk to but these trust – fund drunks ,
A7 E7
you should have brought a chaperone .

A
well kick , i’d love to help you but i just don’t count ,
Bm
friendship makes you paranoid .
D Dm
i don’t believe in curses , but i just might now .
A7 E7
i never really had a choice .
F * Dm
just like all your broken toys .

repeat fill

D E7 A
well kick , you know this life is rich .
D E7 A
but pleasure’s not the same as happiness .
D E7 A F#
but if you don’t collide with the traffic in your mind ,
Bm7 E7
i think you’ll find your way out of this .
Bm7 E7
i hope you find your way out of this .

repeat fill

end on A
