<i></i>Sweet, Sweet Magdalene - Justin Vernon (Self Record Album)
Tuning: Standard - EADGBE
I'm not sure if it's totally correct, but this is how I play it and it sounds good anyway.
Asus A - A4 - A - A4
The smallest part of me is an echoing cavern
G A Asus
Waiting to be filled with the light of your lantern
Dsus2 A - A4 - A - A4
Kerosene careens from your grip onto the floor
G A Asus
And you're looking to the place you think I might have torn
Dsus2 A - A4 - A - A4
My bag it holds a camera sniffing salts and rakes
G A Asus
A brownish hand recorder to put the sounds to tape
Asus A - A4 - A - A4
To play back for you later on inauguration day
G A Asus
And you will teach me slowly how to pronounce your name
G Asus
Sweet, sweet Magdalene
A Bm A
Build your time machine
G Asus
I'm sturdy like the sewer line
G A
But I'm one dead Nazarene
G Asus
Come invade my prison
A Bm A
Come up to my cell
G
Oh, what the hell
Asus
We'll stay a spell tonight babe
A
And I'll make love to you
G A Asus
The whole night through
Dsus2 A - A4 - A - A4
You warned you would find bleeding, A crease in my long back
G
This is long before you knew me
A Asus
I was a slave to hearts attack
Asus A - A4 - A - A4
You need it like a train track needs its pins and spikes
G A Asus
And the town below the damn falls needs its gutter and it's dice
G Asus
Sweet sweet Magdalene
A Bm A
Build your time machine
G Asus
I'm sturdy like the sewer line
G A
But I'm one dead Nazarene
G Asus
Come invade my prison
A Bm A
Come up to my cell
G
Oh, what the hell
Asus
We'll stay a spell tonight babe
A
And I'll make love to you
G A Asus
The whole night through
G A Bm
The whole night through
G A Bm
The whole night through
G A Asus
The whole night through
