WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band - One Of My Kind Chords | Ver. 2
I checked before writing this tab to see if there was another one up, there wasn't at
time. This version has all the verses and a couple of slight differences to the other one
I'll put it up anyway. Have a look at the notes at the bottom for some of the
CAPO 3
Intro: F
F
I can't live in this city
But I was born here
Dm
And I know all these people
Where they went to high school
Bb
Where they got their angle
Here they waited tables
C
Still call me brother
Like Cain and Abel
F
There, see all those old men
How'd they get so swollen?
Dm
I got so many broke friends
Who say I owe them
Bbm
How did it happen?
C
Where is it going?
Dm
Is that your question, man?
Bbm Dm
Where does all your frustration lie?
C Dm
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
Bbm
Just try and have a good time
F C Dm A Bbm
All the rest aside
F
You're still one of my kind
F A Dm C
F
I can't think in this city
But I remember
Dm
I know every story that it ever told me
Bb
Well, I got the blueprint
To create my own myth
C
That's what made it tragic
Like a summer snowdrift
F
Yeah, going to call my first love
Meet her at the new club
Dm
Tell her all that I've done
Finally be forgiven
Bb
And get good and drunk
Bbm
Like it feels you're young
C
There are things against us
Dm
But I will fight tooth and nail
Bbm Dm
Stand in the sickening sunshine
C Dm
After staying out all night
Bbm
And maybe it's the good life
F C Dm A Bbm
All the rest aside
C Dm A Bbm
The rest aside
C Dm A Bbm
The rest aside
F
You're still one of my kind
F A Dm C
F
I can't live in this city
But I'll probably die here
Dm
Maybe that's how you feel
Like a poisoned cornfield
Bb
Like a best friend backstabbed
An abandoned train track
C
We're living straight-lined
F
Are you one of my kind?
F A Dm C
F
Notes:
Each time after the lyrics '..one of my kind' Conor plays F A Dm C (as shown above). For
chord he plays a little variation the general variation for each chord is tabbed out
as F' A' Dm' and C' but as usual a little improvisation around these when listening to
song will show you what sounds right.
F' = 133200
A' = x02200
Dm' = x00320
C' = x32000
For the 3rd chord in each verse Conor seems to alternate between A# (odd verses) and A#m
verses) for verse 4 i've tabbed A# then A#m (seeing as this is what he appears to play
the video) I think this might be a mistake and he meant A#m but started on A# then
after realising. Anyway it's a minor detail and seeing as it's am unreleased song i
we can't tell, but just a thought.
Enjoy!
