Biography:
Field Report is an American folk band formed in 2011 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The band is led by singer/songwriter Christopher Porterfield (a form member of the Justin Vernon-led band DeYarmond Edison.
Field Report, an anagram of Porterfield's surname, was culled together in the studio while recording their 2012 self-titled debut. They suddenly found themselves championed by their former idols: offered support tours by Counting Crows and Aimee Mann, lauded by the likes of Mark Eitzel and Richard Thompson, and covered by Blind Boys Of Alabama.

MICHELLE
FIELD REPORT
INTRO: Gm
VERSE:
Gm Bb
Oh Michelle, I’m coming down to see you
Eb Gm
Tonight is bruise-black swelling golden green
Gm Bb
I was in bed but I had the dream again
Eb Gm
Where I drive us off the cliff to the ravine
F Bb
And the car was Shelby blue
F Bb
Blue like the one in the photo of your father and you
F Bb
Blue like the label on the beer you always choose
F Gm
Blue like me and you Michelle
VERSE:
Gm Bb
Oh Michelle, I went looking for the river
Eb Gm
But I only made it to the railroad bed
Gm Bb
There were candles there and some days-ago cut flowers
Eb Gm
For the guy who had been knifed there by his friend
F Bb
And my eyes could not adjust to the flames against the leaves
F Bb
Someone was watching from nearby
F Bb
I heard a phone chime from shallow in the trees
F Cm Bb F Bb Cm Bb Gm
I had to come see you Michelle
VERSE:
Gm Bb
oh Michelle, we are trafficking in wonder,
Eb Gm
worshiping the wounds upon your cheek
Bb
kiss me shy and I will love you like a lamprey
Eb Gm
in the cool cool water in the creek
F Bb
tornadoes transform and leave us changed
F Bb
and everyone we know will break on us like waves
F Bb
take your hands and cover up your eyes and your face
F Gm
tell me what you see now Michelle
VERSE:
Gm Bb
oh Michelle, first light might come too late
Eb Gm
let’s outdrive the headlights and the stars
Bb
and the roof held, but only 'til the rain fell
Eb Gm
now it’s leaking love inside my captain’s car
F Bb
I tossed my chevrons out the window on the way over here
F Bb
Uncle Sam can meet me by the treeline
F Bb
he and I and your husband we can work it out like men
F Cm Bb F
but we won’t end up eye to eye
INSTRUMENTAL:
Cm Bb Gm F Eb Eb Bb
VERSE/OUTRO:
Bb F
oh Michelle, I can’t say the things that I’ve seen
Cm Gm
from the time that I was gone and then returned
Bb
but I got five thousand bucks, a full tank of gas,
Eb Gm
and a stars and stripes beach towel with a cigarette burn
F Bb
If we leave right now we’ll be there by morning
F Bb
there being anywhere but here
F Bb
we can make a new start; we can make up new names
F Gm Bb
I’ve already picked yours, Michelle.
