Rehearsals For Departure chords by Damien Jurado

Intro: E E7 E/F# E

E       E7
I'll come down tomorrow morning
E/F#        E
And meet you at our new location
E        E7
In front of City Bookstore
E/F#            E
Across the street from the railway station

Esus4 E

E/F#
She tells me how her night was spent
E

Nursing coffee and cigarettes
E/F#
You waited til your husband left
E
To pack your things and off you went

E/F#
He wouldn't notice that you'd left
E
Til morning when the drink wore off
E/F#
He stayed out all night with his friends
E
Never to return again

E Esus4 E Esus4

E        E7
In front of City Bookstore
E/F#                E
Across the street from the railway station
E           E7
You show up with your suitcase
E/F#       E
Ten dollars and a sad expression

Esus4 E

E/F#
She tells me that it's all over now
E
She's done her time and now she's out
E/F#
From the prison that she calls a house
E
Where she stayed put while he went out

E/F#
She left him a note taped to the door
E
Saying, "Babe I won't be back no more
E/F#
I can't find reasons for me to stay
E
Married to you and your cheating ways."

C#m          E
Walked her out to the train
C#m       E
Couldn't hide my pain
E/F#
Or these tears that flow
From my eyes like rain
              E
That September morning, 1959
