Originally for the piano so these are the basic guitar chords, don't hesitate to 
experiment with altered voicings!
No Capo
AmThe volunteers come for your Bmprayers
and some souveCnirs,
With ivory Amskin and boycott leBmssons
Year after Cyear.
GWell I'm tracing your face up in the Dspace 
of the bottom Ambunk,
Oh CordCova.
GWhere I cried and I cDried,
I knew I was trading Bmon things that I didn't Chave,
The things that I didn't Dhave.
AmNow you come to me
With revolBmution's, infidelCity,
With blacklisted Amfriends and tupperware Bmkin,
And your big hisCtory.
Well I'm tracing your Gface up in the sDpace 
of the bottom Ambunk,
Oh CCordova.
GWhere I cried and I Dcried,
I knew I was trading Bmon things that I didn't Chave,
The things that I didn't Dhave.
AmI memorize the lulBmlabies
of dwindling lCives.
The lay of the Amland, the touch of each Bmhand
We lose by and Cby.
I'm tracing your Gface up in the Dspace of the bottom Ambunk,
Oh CorCdova.
Where I Gcried and I Dcried,
I knew I was Bmtrading on things that I didn't Chave,
The things that I didn't Dhave.

The lay of the land, the touch of each hand

We lose by and by.
