I Went to the Store One Day Chords

(ver. 1)
Father John Misty
  key:   Eb major
  time:  4/4
  tempo: Q=75 bpm


-Josh tunes his acoustic guitar one full step down (D G C F A D).
-You could also remain in standard tuning, put capo on the 3rd fret,
 and then voice the chords on the lower strings (E A D G) instead.

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+



FOREPLAY
-Play these 8 bars for the verses as well.
-In terms of finger picking, the most efficient picking is to use one finger
 for each string, whatever fingers you prefer using. Josh uses T I M R.

VERSE 1
" We met in a parking lot
  just buying coffee and cigarettes, firewood and bad wine long since gone
  but I'm still drunk and hot, wide awake and breathing hard



VERSE 2
" And now, in just one year's time
  I've become jealous, rail-thin, prone to paranoia when I'm stoned.
  Cause isn't true love 'Someone oughta put me in a home'?



VERSE 3
" Say, do you wanna get married,
  and put an end to our endless progressive tendency to scorn
  provincial concepts like your dowry and your daddy's farm?


-Play the first 7 bars as usual; then this 8th bar instead, before the bridge:

" ooh...



VERSE 5
" Let's buy a plantation house
  and let the yard grow wild till we don't need the signs that say 'Keep out'
  I've got some money left, and it's cheaper in the South



VERSE 6
" I need someone I can trust
  to protect me from our seven daughters when my body says 'Enough!'
  Don't let me die in a hospital, I'll save the big one for the last time we make love
