Back

Danny Callahan Tab

by Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band


         


Green world, love the chloroform

Front porch in the thunderstorm
				
Controlled chaos, confused energy


So stop reading the weather charts

Stop counting the playing cards
				
There's no system, there's no guarantee

						
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed
But you try, and all you do is just talk to the past
()	  		
Ask how are you getting on alone


Some wander the wilderness

Some drink cosmopolitans
				
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes


I can't tell where the canvas stops

Homesick as an astronaut
				
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain

						
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed
See a brother in the gutter and reach out your hand
()	   		
Ask how are you getting on alone


What gauge measures miracles

Whose heartbeat's electrical
				
We feign sickness with our modern joy


But even Western medicine

It couldn't save Danny Callahan
				
Bad bone marrow, the poor little boy

						
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye, said comeback
()    		
Where are you going to alone
Where are you going all alone

Just fill in the gaps where I did not bother to note the chords and ENJOY!
