Uncle Tupelo

           G~
                     G                C                           G
                        All of my daydreams are disasters
                     G                C                   G
                        She's the one I think I love
                     G            Em                  C                C add2
                        Rivers burn, then run backwards
                              G    C            G
                        For her,  that's enough

                        They all come from New York City
                        Then they woke me up at dawn
                        She walked with me to the fountain
                        She held onto my arm

                                   (E)(F)(F#) G
                                                  C'mon do what you did
                             (G)(A)(B) C              C/B             Am        add4
                                                  Roll me under New Madrid
                                                  C                                                          D  add4  D7
                                                  Shake my baby and please bring her back
                                     (E)(F)(F#) G
                                                  His death won't even be still
                             (G)(A)(B) C              C/B         Am         add4
                                                  Caroms over the landfill
                                                  C                  D                   G
                                                  Buries us all in its broken back

                    There's a man of conviction
                    And although he's getting old
                    Mr. Browning has a prediction
                    That we have all been told

                    So come on back from New York City
                    Roll your trucks in at dawn
                    Walk with me to the fountain
                    And hold onto my arm

                                                  C'mon do what you did
                                                  Roll me under New Madrid
                                                  C                                                          D      C  Bm
                                                  Shake my baby and please bring her back
                                            Am       G
                                                  His death won't even be still
                             (G)(A)(B) C              C/B         Am         add4
                                                  Caroms over the landfill
                                                  C                  D                   G      G/F#  Em
                                                  Buries us all in its broken back...
                                                                                                              C   Am  G
