Chords for Counting Crows - Mrs. Potter's Lullaby - 7/4/2012 - Codfish Hollow Barn - Maquoketa, IA

_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, Oak, in mid [Db]-afternoon, that's when [Eb] it all hurts the [Ab] most. _ _ _
_ _ Yeah, Beem, I never know anyone at [Db] the park, [Eb] but I'm always [Ab] the host. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] These dreams are like movies, _
[Db] memories are films about [Ab] ghosts. _ _ _
_ _ You [Eb] can never escape, _ [Db] you can only move south [Ab] down the coast. _
_ Damn, I am an idiot, just walking a [Db] tightrope up, up, up, up, [Eb] up, up Fortune and [Abm] Bank. _ _ _
_ _ Man, I'm [Ab] an acrobat, seeing trap [Db] pieces [Eb] in circles of [Ab] flame. _ _ _
_ _ If you [C] never see it, off into the [Db] distance, then your life is [Bb] a shame.
[Ab] _ _ _
_ _ No, [Eb] I'll never forget your face, shit, [Db] sometimes I can't remember my [Ab] name. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Hey, [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, [Eb] don't cry.
_ [Cm] Hey, [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, [Eb] I know why.
[Cm] But hey, [Db] Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, won't [Db] you?
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ In a piece of Maria, [Db] on every [Eb] song that I [Ab] sing, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Soon [Db] memories, the price of a memory is a memory of [Eb] the sorrowless [Ab] at grace. _ _
_ _ If there [Cm] is always one light, light [Db] to turn out, and one life, well, [Ab] there ain't. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] If the last one out of the [Db] circus has to lock [Ab] up everything,
Mrs.
Price is a step to the front.
_ Or the elephant will get out [Db] and forget [Eb] to remember what she [Ab] said. _ _ _
_ _ And it goes to the tilted world, [Db] I'm a linger [Eb] inside of [Ab] my head. _ _
_ _ While [Cm] the Ferris wheel junkies [Db] spin their ever [Ab]-ending step. _ _
_ _ When [Eb] I see a blanket of [Db] stars covers me in [Ab] my bed. _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Hey, Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, [Eb] don't go.
_ [Cm] Hey, Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, [Eb] I don't [Cm] know.
But hey, [Db] Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, [Db] won't you?
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] Blue light reflections, [Db] they color my, my, my, [Eb] my, my, my, [Ab] my mind when I sleep. _
_ _ And all the lovesick rejections in [Eb] the company, the company [Ab] I. _ _ _
_ _ See, I get [Cm] these razor perceptions [Db] that cut just a little [Ab] too.
_ [Ab] _ _
_ _ See, I [Eb] can paint as well as anyone, but I [Db] just need someone to help me [Ab] sleep.
So _ _ _ I throw my hand into the [Db] air and it [Eb] swims in [Ab] the beach. _ _
_ _ Man, it's just this brief interruption of [Db] a swirling dust [Eb] _ [Ab] sparkle jet stream. _ _
_ _ Man, [Cm] I don't, I don't know you. _
[Db] Probably not what [Ab] you've seen. _ _ _
_ _ Yeah, [Eb] but I'd sure like to find out.
Why [Db] don't you climb [Ab] down off that movie screen? _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Hey, [Db] Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, don't [Eb] turn.
[Cm] Hey, _ Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, I [Eb] heard for [Cm] you.
Hey, Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, [Db] won't you?
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ And the last king of Hollywood [Db] just shatters his [Eb] glass on [Ab] the floor.
Many _ _ _ _ orders another. _
[Db] I wonder [Eb] what he [C] left. _ _ _
_ _ _ I know that I have to get out [Db] because I have been here [Ab] before. _ _ _
_ _ That's [Eb] when I gave up my seat at the bar.
[Db] _ _ For the [Ab] door. _ _ _
_ _ And we go down to the desert.
Oh, just [Db] a lot down.
But [Eb] he's all [Ab] the stars. _
_ _ And we stand up in the house.
It is [Db] a lot of the [Eb] great pioneer [Ab] town bar.
Hey, man, _ [Cm] we shout out these songs.
Look at [Db] that flag.
Oh, electric [Ab] guitar. _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] So good.
You must [Db] be [Ab] very far. _ _ _ _
_ _ You [Eb] can see a million miles.
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Hey, Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, I want to [Cm] say, _ Mrs.
[Ab] Potter, it's not [Cm] much.
But hey, Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, won't you?
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Cm] Hey, Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, won't you?
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] Hey, Mrs.
[Eb] Potter, [Ab] won't you? _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
