Quito Chords - Mountain Goats






First attempt at writing down chords... enjoy friends


B                  E                 B
When I receive the blessing I've got coming
    E                 F#                B
I'm going to raise an ice-cold glass of water
B                   E           
To toast the living and the dead 
        B             E
Who've gone before me and my head 
     B             F#           B
Will throb like an old wound re-opening


B                  E                 B
When I get off the bus down there my children
     E                F#              B
They all are going to greet me at the station
     B                 E
Like gypsies they will dance around me
B              E                         
And the choral droning sound their 
B                F#           B
Voices make will saturate the evening


 B                  E                  B
 When I get off the wheel I'm going to stop
     E              F#            B
 And make amends to everyone I've wounded
 B                  E
 And when I wave my magic wand
      B                      E                               
Those few who've slipped the surly bonds 
     B         F#            B         
will rise like salmon at the spawning
