Sufjan Stevens - Romulus: chords

E             B/D#    F#m  A
Once when our mother called,
E         B/D#      F#m            A
She had a voice of last year's cough.
E          B/D#        F#m  A
We passed around the phone,
E         B/D#     F#m      A
Sharing a word about Oregon.
E             B/D# F#m      A
When my turn came, I was ashamed.
E             B/D# F#m      A
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 be 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, we grew up in spite of it
We watched it all night, we 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
