WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Shins - Port Of Morrow Ukulele | Ver. 1
I've tried to line up the chords as best as possible, as always, listen to the
song for best comparison. I'm sure this is right, then again, I have just spent an
hour I should've spent in bed working this out. I've actually worked out a lot of

G D B G
I saw a photograph; Cologne in '27
G D B Em
And then a postcard after the bombs in '45
G D B G
Must have been a world of evil clowns that let it happen
G B
But now I recognise, dear listeners,
G D
That you were there and so was I

G D
And a skull under your curls
