San Francisco
Words and music by Jay Farrar and Benjamin Gibbard from the album “One Fast Move Or I’m Gone”

Capo 2,

Am G D - intro and verse chords

The church is blowing a sad windblown “Kathleen”
On the bells of the skid row slums
I wake up goopy and woebegone
At the Mars Hotel on 4th and Howard

Am G D

Do you remember dancing girls in St. Louis
Stan Getz on the hi-fi under midnight kitchen bulbs
We all agree it’s too big to keep up with
That we’re surrounded by life – that we’ll
Never understand it
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jay_farrar/san_francisco_crd.html ]
[ Am ] The great magical city of the [ E ] Gandharvas [ F ]
Of San Francis [ E ] co [ Dm ] [ Am ] 

Am G D

Where is the writer who could bring you
Sobbing through the bed fucking bed cribs
Of the moon to see it all even unto
Some robbery of the heart at dawn
When no one cares

Am G D

I’m lost among strange agitators of the heart
We center it all by swigging from the bottle
All for two sticks of loco weed
That grows by itself in Texas because god wanted it

[ Am ] The great magical city of the [ E ] Gandharvas [ F ]
Of San Francis [ E ] co [ Dm ] [ Am ] 

Am G D

Freak out on harmonica between the verses and at the end.
