Cocoon Uke tab by Decemberists (Baritone Chords)

INTRO

(Gmaj7 Cmaj7) x2

VERSE 1

Gmaj7                            Cmaj7
This cocoon, caught in Vesuvius' shadow
                Gmaj7
Only the ashes remain
    Cmaj7
And I waited there for you
             Gmaj7      Cmaj7
Why couldn't you?

VERSE 2

Gmaj7                               Cmaj7
Here we lie waiting for something to startle
                           Gmaj7
To shake us from gravity's pull
    Cmaj7
And so sleeping hours are through
            Gmaj7       Cmaj7
What can we do?

PRE-CHORUS

     Em                    Cmaj7           Am7
The sorry conclusion, the low dirty war, it happened before you came to
     Em                    Cmaj7
But this is solution, and this is amends
     Am7
The joke always tends to come true
     F                        Dm                 A
But there on your windowsill over the unmoving platoon
 F                      Dm                      A
Written in paperback, view to the quarterback's room
    C
Under waning moon

CHORUS

      G/B        Gm/A#     Am
This quiet serves only to hide you
  Em/B  Am
Provide you
       C          Cm                       Gmaj7  Cmaj7
What I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you

Gmaj7 Cmaj7

VERSE 3

Gmaj7                               Cmaj7
Take this palm, follow the lines here are written
                                  Gmaj7
And script out the rest of your life
  Cmaj7
And feel your fingers falling slack 
               Gmaj7       Cmaj7
And all folding back

PRE-CHORUS

     Em                    Cmaj7           
The tainted election, the hole in the sky
Am7
Command what is tried, what is true
     Em                    Cmaj7
But without solution, with feet on the ground
Am7
It won't make a sound 'til you're through
     F                        Dm
So loosen your shoulder blades
                              A
This is your hour to make due
     F                        Dm 
Because there on the timberline
                                  A
Deep cold November shines through
           C
Soft and absolute

CHORUS

      G/B        Gm/A#     Am
This quiet serves only to hide you
  Em/B  Am
Provide you
       C          Cm                       Gmaj7  Cmaj7
What I knew, what I knew, it'd come back to you
