Neko Case - The Needle Has Landed

      [Verse 1]
Em                     C    Em
Here I am in traffic's slow flow (Where the needle touched down)
Em                   C               Em
Carbon planes draw a cage around the air force base (where the needle touched down)
Em                         C        Em
My foot on the brake it's ok to fly low
     C         F
Over poor Spanaway

[Verse 2]
   C                         F
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
         C                        F
Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter
    C                      F
The needle's the same it recorded and played
         C                            F
When you left me at the greyhound the year I moved away
    C                        F
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
G                   C
You'd still be here baby
   F     Fm
My baby, baby

[Verse 3]        
   C                       F            
So that's why I never come back here
C                           F
That's why they spit out my name
     C                       F 
Your exes have clawed up the bible
G                  C
Trying to keep me away
         C                  F
With the sledge of tectonic fever
    G                  C
The needle has landed again
       G  C
Let it play

[Verse 4]
        Em             G  C
And the needle touched down
               F
The needle has landed
        Em             G  C
And the needle touched down
               F
The needle has landed

[Verse 5]
   C                         F
An eagle swooped down from a semi-trailer
         C                        F
Took the name of your town from a shark-toothed freighter
    C                        F
And if I knew then what's so obvious now
G                   C
You'd still be here baby
