SONG: Chancellor BAND: Gordon Downie ALBUM: Coke Machine Glow (2001) TABBED BY: Ross Guertin (ross_guertin@yahoo.ca) TUNING: EADGBe F G C F Seconds from pajamas I must first open all the doors and the windows G C and invite the vampire in to be one of us. F G C F Then, in the guise of cool air, in the softer hours, he's there, sitting, talking G in the voice of your mother C F about leaving one good party for another G and the night of a thousand missteps C F and the loss that made him dogged G or it could have been the doggedness C F that caused the loss in the first place, I guess. G Am C I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find. F G Am C I could've made chancellor without you on my mind. FGCF Crazy daisies and wooden stars, the threat of oxygen on Mars, marching armies in the night smiling strangers riding by on bikes. Children smoking, sloganeers on mics, just a few things most vampires don't like. I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find. I could've made chancellor without you on my mind. Before the dawning's first light I must first close up all the doors and the windows and try to trap that cool air to be one with us. I'm discovering uses for you I thought I'd never find. I could've made chancellor without you on my mind.
