The Accidentals - Michigan And Again

      Capo 2

[Intro]
C E F (x3)
G G7

[Verse 1]
    C        E           F
We lay down in the grass 
         C      E           F
In our nest of sleeping bags 
C         E         F               G        G7
Breathing in the shallow canyon air 
    C       E        F
The water, 45 degrees 
   C        E           F
We wade out to the knees 
     C            E            F                G        G7
And soak to the sleeves in a semi-aquatic prayer

[Chorus]
       F           C         G
Great state, what state am I in? 
         C      E       F
Compass roses bloom again 
Dm          Am     E        Am
Home of the water, Canada's daughter 
F                          G
Cradled in a crescent moon grin 
     C        E         Am        G         F
Michigan and again and again and again and again 
     C        E         Am        G         F    G
Michigan and again and again and again and again 

[Verse 2]
     C          E      F
Soft shoulders of sand dunes 
     C         E         F
Porcupine cactus flowers bloom 
       C            E         F             G       G7
In the dust of the devil's empty living room 
      C                E      F
Salt silts the flattened land 
      C          E         F
Time like a snake in the sand 
C        E       F                     G        G7
Powdered porcelain in a stranger's hand 
 
[Chorus] 
       F           C         G
Great state, what state am I in? 
         C      E       F
Compass roses bloom again 
Dm          Am     E        Am
Home of the water, Canada's daughter 
F                          G
Cradled in a crescent moon grin 
     C        E         Am        G         F
Michigan and again and again and again and again 
     C        E         Am        G         F     G
Michigan and again and again and again and again 

[Bridge]
E                    Am
Looking down to the high five 
        C                  G          F
Grazing ground to hear the sound of a heavy sigh 
E                           Am
Home is where you left your heart behind 
     C         G       F
Even fortified fossils dissolve over time 
E                         Am
When I came home, I went down to the lake 
       C          G             F
My dad told me he counts up the days 
           E                      Am
And when I packed my bags, coffee stains of jet lag 
           C        G          F         G
There were conifers lining the driveway, whispering 
C     E     Am    G     F
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay 
C      E    Am    G     F     G
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay

[Chorus]
       F           C         G
Great state, what state am I in? 
         C      E       F
Compass roses bloom again 
Dm          Am     E        Am
Home of the water, Canada's daughter 
F                          G
Cradled in a crescent moon grin 

[Outro]
     C        E         Am        G         F
Michigan and again and again and again and again (x8)
