Color In You Cheeks chords by The Mountain Goats

She came in on the redeye to dallas-fort

E        Abm   A    B
worth. All the way from sunny taipei.

E      Abm    A   B
  Skin the color of a walnut shell, And a

E      Abm     A       B
baseball cap   holding down her black hair. And she came

A  A    B     B
here  after midnight.

E      E        E       E
   The hot weather made her feel right at home. Come on

E    E    A         A
in,     we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of

E    E     A       B
this.  it'll put color in your cheeks.



C#m        Abm     A   B
  He drove from in from mexicali, no worse for wear.

E      Abm  A     B
  Money to burn,  time to kill. but

E    Abm   A       B
  five minutes looking in his eyes and we all

E      Abm      A     B
knew he was broken pretty bad, so we gave him what we

A         A        B        B
had. We cleared a space for him to sleep in, and we let the

E         E        E         E
silence that's our trademark    make its presence felt. Come on

E    E    A         A
in,     we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of

E    E     A       B
this.  it'll put color in your cheeks.

   They came in by the dozens, walking or crawling.

E       Abm      A       B
   Some were bright-eyed.   Some were dead on their feet.

E         Abm    A       B
  And they came in from zimbabwe, Or from soviet,

E          Abm      A       B
georgia. East saint louis, or from paris, or they lived across the street.

A       A           B        B
   But they came, and when they'd finally made it here, It was the

E          E   E        E
least that we could do to make our welcome clear. Come on

E    E    A         A
in,     we haven't slept for weeks. Drink some of

E    E     A       B
this.  it'll put color in your cheeks.
