Pulaski at Night

By Andrew Bird

Key of G

Am         G
Half empty, half full
G           C
Cup runneth over
Am              G
Horns of plenty, coffers full
G              C
We're starting over

Am G G C
Am G G C

Am         G
Half empty, half full
G           C
Cup runneth over
Am              G
Horns of plenty, coffers full
G              C
We're starting over

[Chorus]
Am            Am6
I write you a story
G                C
But it loses its thread
Am            Am6
And all of my witnesses
G                            E
Keep turning up, turning up dead

Am            Am6
I paint you a picture
G             C
Of Pulaski at night
Am              Am6
Come back to Chicago
         G       E
City of, city of light

Am              D
Come back to Chicago

[Interlude]
Am G G C
Am G G C

Am             G             G                C
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh starting over
Am             G             G                C
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh starting over

[Chorus]
Am            Am6
I paint you a picture
G                  C
But it never looks right
Am                  Am6
Cause I fill in the shadows
                   G               E
And block out the, I block out the light

Am           Am6
I send you a postcard
G                    C
It says, "Pulaski at night"
Am                Am6
Greetings from Chicago
        G        E
City of, city of light

Am              Am6
Come back to Chicago
        G        E
City of, city of light

Am           D
Come back to Chicago

Am G G C
Am G G C

Am             G             G                C
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh starting over
Am             G             G                C
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh starting over

Am             G             G                C
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh starting over
