*Strum Once
[Intro]
A, A shape 5th fret, D, D shape 5th fret
E
A, D, F, A x2
[Verse 1]
A
The devil's in the detail shop
Waiting on his old rag top
G D
Wondering where the hell have all the real souls gone
G D A
It's been so long since the reaping's worth a damn
A
Little Mary's living hand to mouth
Can't believe how fast it all went south
G D
Taking pains to conceive of an immaculate life
G D A
But Jesus Christ it sure gets hard sometimes
[Chorus]
E D A
And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago
E D A
He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio
E
They got a rich four-season climate
D
And ridge of mountains blue
E D*
And he's going to spend his golden years
A
Taking in the view
[Verse 2]
A
Ever since Joseph passed away
The lady hasn't had too much to say
You can find her kneeling in the garden
G D
All skin and bones
G D
And when seeds have grown
A
She'll plant again
A
Last time the market fell
Satan had to sell off half of hell
G D
Now it's all suburban sprawl and big box stores
G D A
Well he can't be sure but this might be the end
[Chorus]
E D A
And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago
E D A
He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio
E
He's got a stack of classic vinyl
D
And a turn-table to boot
E D*
And he's going to spend his golden years
A
Taking in the view
[Refrain]
A
And he'll sing
D A
I shall be released
A D A
And I've got a woman over town who's good to me
F A
Walking the floor
A D A
And do-do-do looking out my back door
A
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding's been
A D A
Not going to hear that train a'coming around the bend
[Chorus]
E D A
And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago
E D A
He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio
E
They got a rich four-season climate
D
And ridge of mountains blue
E D*
And he's going to spend his golden years
A
Taking in the view
[Outro]
A D F A
