The Shins — One By One All Day

[Verse]:  E      B5        E   D  A            Asus4  A      E
"Howdy, Lem," my grandpa said with his eyes closed
           B5                       E    D    A  Asus4  A
Wiping the eastbound dust from his sunburned brow
   A                G
А life before doubt.

[Chorus]:G           A                  G                 A  Asus4  A
I smell the engine grease and mint the wind is blending
G          A              D           F#    G    D   A  D
Under the moan of rotting elm in the silo floor
 

[Verse 2]:E      B5       E    D    A     Asus4   A         E
Down a hill of pine tree quills we made our way
E       B5                          E    D     A  Asus4
To the bottom and the ferns where thick moss grows
   A               G
Beside a stream.
 

[Chorus]:G          A                    G   G           A  Asus4    G
Under the rocks are snails and we can fill our pockets
G               A               D        F#         G    D   A  D
And let them go one by one all day in a brand new place

[Chorus]:G           A         G              A  Asus4  
You were no ordinary drain on her defenses
G               A        D          F#     G
And she was no ordinary girl Oh, Inverted World
          A    Asus4    G                  A  Asus4  
If every moment of our lives were cradled softly
G                       A                 D
   In the hands of a strange and gentle child
         F#      G
I'd not roll my eyes
E       G
So.

[Outro]:E G E G
