City In A Bottle Chords

(ver. 1)
Shakey Graves
Hey, love this song, thought I'd tab it out since Shakey doesn't have enough tabs 
around. Enjoy.

The song is played with a capo on the second fret, but you can also play without a 
capo or with barre chords if you want.

(The Am-C progression in the verses is played with Am for three bars and C for one)

Verse 1:

             E              B7          Am                      C
Well the cold has a hard time finding me
E            B7               Am            C
Unlike some folks I know
    E            B7              Am                  C
Yeah all the men down in union square 
    E            B7           Am
Are worried about the snow

Am
When your pockets fill
C
With dollar bills
Am                            C
Your heart forgets to eat
         E                        B7
Its a wicked thing
                   E
It owns this street

Chorus:

         E                                                            Am   C   Am   C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
         E                                                           Am   C   Am   C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
           E                                                   
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
                                            B7                          E
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside

Verse 2:

         E            B7          Am           C
Well i saw a carried bundle 
        E            B7          Am          C
that has fingers eyes and toes
      E          B7                Am      C
As a father of deception 
     E          B7               Am        
i have never raised a soul

        Am                          C                       Am                             C
It's a purchase captured second hand and cherished more than gold
        E                                                       B7                        E
It's a shelter from that wicked thing that wanders in the night

Chorus:

         E                                                              Am   C   Am   C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
         E                                                Am   C   Am   C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
           E                                                   
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
                                            B7                          E
I'd carry her away from that wicked thing outside

      Am              C                       Am                      C
The water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice
     E                                                      B7                     E
To pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
