The Copa Chords

(ver. 1)
Pretenders
[Intro]
| E  E4  E | Dadd4add9 | E        | E        |
 
 
[Verse 1]
     D                     C
Your long blonding hair of heavy salty sea
       Dsus2                  C
Like a curtain when it closed over and above me
Em      D   Em          D              Em              D   Em
 Locked the vicious sun like the wings of passing gulls
               D                      C         D      D
Empty you held nothing, hollow as the washed-up shells
 
 
[Chorus]
  E                   E              E         E
I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
      D                        A                        F#m    F#m
Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind
   C                       C                 D       E    E
A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find
            A                     A/G#
Oh, I still wake up in the morning
F#m            E4        E
 With the Copa on my mind
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
| D        | C        | D        | C        |
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                        C
Sitting on the rock that looked onto the ocean
D                            C
Walking to the waves as they brewed a magic potion
Em                 D    Em         D             Em       D   Em
 Calling them like faithless dogs, your commands and whims
                          D                          C       D    D
While the crashing on the rocks rose to the sky like ancient hills
 
 
[Chorus]
  E                   E              E         E
I woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
      D                        A                        F#m    F#m
Those days of cryptic signals, I was sad to leave behind
   C                       C                 D       E    E
A scarf tied to a shutter, no one else would look to find
            A                     A/G#
Oh, I still wake up in the morning
F#m            E4        E
 With the Copa on my mind
 
 
[Solo]
| D        | C        | D        | C        |
| D        | C        | D        | C        |
 
 
[Verse 3]
    D                          C
You knew it was the end as you watched me from the gate
Dadd4add9                    C
I waved my boarding pass and didn't hesitate
Em         D    Em          D      Em     D   Em
 Security, security, I took off my shoes
                           D
Turned around and you were gone
 
 
[Outro]
E                   E              E         E
Woke up this morning with the Copa on my mind
| E        | E        | E        | E        | E        | E        | E        |
