song : me and lazarus
artist : iron & wine
album : kiss each other clean

standard tuning , no capo

C
me and lazarus , we shovel all the ashes out
black bare linens blowing ’round
back and forth and up and down
A# C
oh oh woah , guess i had nowhere else to go

C
me and lazarus kept bailing on the riverboat
floating by the choir rose
bobbing in the ebb and flow
A# C
oh oh woah , guess i had nowhere else to go

A# F C
he’s an emancipated punk and he can dance
A# F C
but he’s got a hole in the pocket of his pants
A# F C
must be a symptom of outstanding circumstances
A# F C
woah

C
me and lazarus , we fiddle with a baby spoon
fever flowing through the room
far too long and way too soon
A# C
oh oh woah , guess i had nowhere else to go

C
me and lazarus , we pick up papa’s white boy blues
hand – me downs and sunday shoes
never made the local news
A# C
oh oh woah , guess i had nowhere else to go

A# F C
and i’m a liberated loser that can roll
A# F C
but where my pocket was i’m peeking through a hole
A# F C
a couple second – chances surely would console me
A# F C
woah
