Romulus Uke tab by Sufjan Stevens

Once when our mother called, 
G            Dsus4       Am             C          
She had a voice of last year's cough. 
G               Dsus4         Am       C          
We passed around the phone, 
G           Dsus4   Am       C          
Sharing a word about Oregon. 
G               Dsus4      Am       C          
When my turn came, I was ashamed. 
G               Dsus4         Am       C          
When my turn came, I was ashamed. 

Once when we moved away, 
She came to Romulus for a day. 
Her Chevrolet broke down. 
We prayed it'd never be fixed or found. 
We touched her hair, we touched her hair. 
We touched her hair, we touched her hair. 

When she had her last child, Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild. 
She moved away quite far. 
Our grandpa bought us a new VCR. 
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it. 
We watched it all night, but grew up in spite of it. 

We saw her once last fall. 
Our grandpa died in a hospital gown. 
She didn't seem to care. 
She smoked in her room and colored her hair. 

I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her
