Delores Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The air was breathing,
but I nearly [D]suffocated in my sarcophagus
Where the antelopes wear
underwear on their antlers
All my mantle [Bm]memories [D]re ceive
a cost of living adjustment
Stands for
[D]Charleston at the
Roseland of resplendent [Gm]nostalgia
[D]The walls are dripping,
and tonight the faces are on the ceiling
And they're suspiciously si[Bm]lent
[D]There was a fire tonight when the steepened
window cracked open a velvet weather[Bm]vane
[D]As if it was a world wearied smile
There was a pillow plummeting like invisible
carbon in a passion [Gm]play[Gaug]
If [D]this is only going from
A to
B and back again
[Bm]How come[Abm] when I close my eyes I see dead
springs and excrement in deep focus
[D]Dirty deals that only I am [Bb]privy to
[D]Elegant cobblestone goblets, sto[D]ne orchard china,
parsnips and [Gm]lichen[Gaug][D]
Puke on me
[A]Dolores, [D]are you married or [E]lesbian?[D]
Are you a celibate
Buddhist acolyte?
Or are you just detached and
unavailable like me?
More to the point, where are you?
Where were you?
I went to the high school reunion and
Dolores, there was no puke
[Gm][Abm][Gaug][Cm][Ab][Eb]
[D]
It's a sad and lonely song
by the barnyard
Cause
Dolores ain't sick to her stom[D]ach no more
