I Gotta Reason Part 2 Tab

by Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band


Conor Oberst & the Mystic Valley Band – I Gotta Reason, Pt II.

From the album 'Outer South' due out 5th of May 2009.

Ok, I found these chords on the Compare&Contrast messageboard [Thanks to whoever worked
out; added the verse & Chorus lyrics; also, there's a fill from the live version you can
at the end on every Am, just pick the chord descending, pulling off the string-to open- 
time; listen for it on the live version; that's pretty much it. B5 seems pretty
with Bm; might be something wrong with D5 as well; see what you think.

intro- G, Am [hammer on D to E then pull off the C to B]

                                         
you know a lot can happen after everybody falls asleep
                                         
ask the forest fire, ask the cop walking on the beat
                                         
and do right by them, work a little in your dreams
                                        
don't let time rob you, hold onto your memories

                                              
in the glass houses, in the pages of the rolling stone
                                              
I get a sick feeling, like I’m rocking in a little boat
                                               
hear the big church bell, it's ringing like a mobile phone
                                             
such a long Sunday drive, and I’m taking it all alone

(Pre &) CHORUS

                                  
I wanna belong to a reason
                                     
and cut a new key to the kingdom
                                      
and if anybody asks me, say I wanna belong
                                      
if anybody asks me, say that it won't take long
                                      
if anybody asks me, say I’m gonna get this done
                                      
if anybody asks me, say I got a reason

                                                   
In a vast hard-drive, in the satellites that kick and spin
                                                    
They keep the old footage, so everything can live again
                                           
Pretty pink roses, the ostrich and the elephant
                                           
It’s the last Noah’s ark, so everything’s gotta fit.

                                                   
In the creased pages, of a letter I’ve been trying to send
                                                   
To a young widow, how is desperate for some kind of friend
                                             
You’ll find a long list of, eligible handsome men
                                            
Who want to lay with her, up on the {table of the elements}

REPEAT CHORUS!
