Okkervil River – White Shadow Waltz chords

[Verse]
GAbandoned by all her admirers
BmWild white shadow waltz
       CStands alone on a stair down the hall
         Am                     DJust one slip from a trip and a fall.

[Verse]
     GIn a cold morning holding her lighter
BmOne white shadow waltz
CStirs, sputters and stalls
Am                 D                              BmWakes, wavers, and walks right through her prison walls.

[Bridge]
Bm                               Bm F#She says the doorbell is ringing
F#                F# AGo see who it is
AOur little island's sinking into
EmMist.

[Verse]
  GA day came, a night went, it lightened
   BmAn animal broke his way out
CMoped through a scattering crowd
    Am                         DAnd crawled back to his circus shell.

[Verse]
    GAnd circling the zoo's screaming clients
BmWas white shadow waltz
CDeaf to their torn breaths and calls
     Am                     D                     GWait take a look closer hey he's hardly moving at all.

[Bridge]
Bm                                Bm F#She says there's someone knocking
F#                F# AGo see who it is
AOur world is shaking I guess
EmOur little world is breaking in the

[Verse]
GPresence of all our despisers
      BmWe'll falter and crawl into our bed
    CThe world is a black shadow bled
    Am                      DAnd what is this tune in my head?

[Outro]
              GShe says it's just the white wind when it whimpers
         BmAnd it's just the black rain when it squalls
          CIt's just white meat whistling a waltz
          Am                  D                       GIt's just nine hands wiping a white shadow off of the walls.
