I just added the complete lyrics to this one, and corrected one or two wrong chords Artist: Okkervil River Song: Plus Ones Capo at 7th Fret Intro: D D G Em G No one wants to hear about your 97th tear, Em G so dry your eyes or let it go A Em G A Em uncried, my dear. I am all out of love to mouth into your ear, and not above G A Em Em* G* A* letting a love song disappear before it's written. D G Em G And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon that was seen Em G A Em G shooting from the window of your room, to be a spot against the sky's A Em G A colossal gloom and land, deflated, in some neighbor state that's strewn with Em Em G A 99 others. Em A D A Em 8 Chinese brothers; well, there's a reason why the last is smiling wide G A and sitting higher than the others, Em G A swinging his arms.
