New Madrid
by Uncle Tupelo
from the album Anodyne
Intro: A Bm
All my daydreams are disasters
She's the one, I think I love
Rivers burn, men run backwards
And for her, that's enough
They all come from New York City
They woke me up at dawn
She walked with me to the fountain
She held onto my arm
C'mon do what you did
Roll me under New Madrid
Shake my baby and please bring her back
His death won't even be still
Carum's over the landfill
Buries us all in it's broken back
Verse (same chords as first verse)
There's a man conviction
And although he's getting old
Mr. Browning has a prediction
We've all been told
So come on back to New York City
Roll your trucks in at dawn
Walk with me to the fountain
And hold onto my arm
last chorus ends like this
D - E - A - F# - D - E - A
there is a common walk up pattern used throughout (usually when
moving from the A to D). It goes 0-2-4 (on A string a-b-c#) to D
