Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band is the name of US alt-country musician Conor Oberst and his backing band composed of Nik Freitas (guitar), Taylor Hollingsworth (guitar), Macey Taylor (bass), Nate Walcott (keyboards/organ) and Jason Boesel (drums).
Conor Oberst played 2 shows @ 400 Bar in Minneapolis, MN on the 29th and 30th of December, 2007 with Nik Freitas on Guitars, Jason Boesel on Drums, Macey Taylor on Bass and Nate Walcott on Keyboards and the French Horn.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Alright, so - I know this isn't a CO&MVB song, but there's no solo Conor band here to put this in. This is my first tab. I did my best to work out the chords from the main youtube video that's going around of Conor playing this and You Are Your Mom's, which is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfW5cYIIqHc. For the lyrics I did my best to work out what they were from a bootleg with better audio.
NOTE: There are a number of places where the lyrics are most likely wrong (but I did pretty well with the U.S city names seeing as I'm from Australia) so I'm sorry.
Please comment and lemme know how I did :) email issues or suggestions to [email protected]
KICK - Conor Oberst

One chord I don't know (Marked as F*: e| 0 B| 2 G| 3 D| 4 A| 0 E| 0
DE7A Kick, you know you're still a kid DE7A And your diets too full of additives. DE7AF# Passed out on the couch with ashes in your mouth Bm7E7 Dreaming that you're hopping the fence. DE7A This world must have it out for you DE7A From the shores of Montauk up to Malibu. DE7AF# The trappings of a name that you never could escape, Bm7E7 These people want to live in the past. Bm7E7 Some golden age that they never had.
Bm I thought we lost that Camelot E7 I thought we lost that Camelot A7 Some children story we forgot, F* BmE7 Grew old so long ago.
DE7A Kick its hard to make a friend DE7A In a world that's this cruel and partisan. DE7AF# But you should go in style to Stockholm for a while, Bm7E7 Live outside oblivions lense.
DE7A Someday you'll have a fine divorce, DE7A and a cemetery plot in Hyannisport. DE7AF# Next time you close your eyes on that helicopter ride, Bm7E7 I hope you see it isn't your fault. Bm7E7 I hope you know it isn't your fault.
Bm I thought we shot that Camelot E7 I thought they shot that Camelot A7 Whoever shot this movie stop F* BmE7 B wrote; said the show must go. - This line is probably the most wrong
FILL: A A?(finger on B-string up to the 3rd fret)
A Lying in the office on an old chaise-lounge Bm Listening to the doctor drone. DDm No therapeutic feeling once the shock wears's off, A7E7 Answer every question 'no'.
A Hiding in the hammock with the shades pulled down Bm Wondering if the story's broke. DDm Tragedy is profit once the word gets out, A7E7 Tabloids at the country store.
A Searching on the tables once the bar's closed down, Bm said somebody stole your phone. DDm Now there's no-one to talk to but these trust-fund drunks, A7E7 You should have brought a chaperone.
A Well Kick, I'd love to help you but I just don't count, Bm Friendship makes you paranoid. DDm I don't believe in curses, but I just might now. A7E7 I never really had a choice. F* Dm Just like all your broken toys.
REPEAT FILL
DE7A Well Kick, you know this life is rich. DE7A But pleasure's not the same as happiness. DE7AF# But if you don't collide with the traffic in your mind, Bm7E7 I think you'll find your way out of this. Bm7E7 I hope you find your way out of this.
