G Cm Ab Fm G G7
[Verse 1]
Cm Gm Cm I am a simple goat Fm G7 Cm I live on the back of a pick-up truck Cm Gm Cm The Old Man tied me here with a 3-foot rope Fm G7 Cm Am I happy? He don't, give a fuck Cm Bb Eb "Hey goat I'm going to beat your head in with a hickory stick" Fm G Cm Sometimes he uses his fists Cm Gm Cm He's filled with anger, and filled with rage Fm G And tells me I smell like piss
[Verse 2]
Ab Bb His drink, Jimmy Beam. His chaser, a beer Cm After that, various alcohols Ab Bb That's when the beatings get so severe Cm Fm G G7 Asleep I pray he falls Cm Gm Cm But don't feel sorry for me Fm G Cm Things weren't always this bad Cm Gm Cm Why, when I was a young talking goat Fm G C The Old Man was just like my dad
[Verse 3]
Cm Bb I come from the hills of Europe Eb G That's where I met the Old Man Ab Bb He was lost in the woods, I gave him directions Cm He gave me a tuna can Cm Bb Then he stopped in his tracks and he said, "Hey Goat! Eb G Would you like to live with me? Ab Bb I've got a house with a pick-up truck Cm In a place across the sea" F Cm I said, "Sure, why not, I've got no family F Cm You seem like a nice guy" Ab Bb So we went off to America Ab G The home of apple pie
[Verse 4]
F G C On the boat, the Old Man told me Am G C I would be a present for his wife F G "A talking goat!" he exclaimed, C Cm "She'd never seen this in her liiife" D F G I felt so special! F Gm7 Well, I just couldn't believe it Eb Cm F7 After all these years I finally had a friend Ab He trimmed my beard Eb He scraped my hooves Fm G C I prayed it would never end
[Verse 5]
C#m But when we got to his house D There was no wife E Ab Only a short, short letter Cm B It said: "I'm leaving you for your brother A Ab Because he fucks me better" E B His eyes filled with tears of sadness C#m Ab His heart was filled with grief A B To soothe himself he drank a pint of Old Granddad C#m And beat me like a side of beef E B I screamed, "Send me back to the hills of Europe!" C#m Ab He just shook his head and said, "Nope! A B No one will ever leave me again Ab C#m To make sure, put on this 3-foot fucking rope."
[Verse 6]
B E Present day, I've been on the truck for 51 years F#/B E My only friend is the AM radio B E Sometimes the neighborhood children stop by F#/B E But it's always rocks and beer bottles that they throw B E At first they're excited to see a talking goat F#/B E They gather around to hear what I have to say Ab A But I guess sometimes my stories go on too long F#m Ab A7 So they leave and giggle I need a bidet
[Verse 7]
A E But you know there was a night that I did get off the truck A E When the Old Man was passed out drunk A E Three neighbourhood kids took me to a rock 'n roll concert A C#m7 The kind of music old-school funk C#m7 E F#m7 e|---4----0---2------------| B|---5----0---2------------| G|---4----1---2------------| D|---6----2---4-4-4--------| A|---4----2---4-4-4--2-/---| E|---4----0---2-3-4--------| C#m7 E F#m It was the first time I got off the truck C#m7 E F#m The music made me lose control C#m7 E F#m The lead singer asked if we were having fun C#m7 E F#m I said, "Fucking crank that rock 'n roll loud!" C#m7 E F#m The women at the show were beautiful C#m7 E F#m As they danced sexily on the soft grass C#m7 E F#m C#m7 One of them even petted my fur N.C. B C Fuck me in the goat-ass! C#m7 E F#m Then some long-haired guys grabbed me by the horns C#m7 E F#m And threw me in the mosh pit C#m7 E F#m They passed me around and treated me nice C#m7 E F#m Till I nerviously sprayed them with shit E Then the music stopped
N.C.
And everything was quiet
N.C.
And all the rock 'n rollers started a fucking goat-riot
[Verse 8]

[Verse 9]
A B When we got home, the Old Man said, C#m "Goat, you broke the sacred law." C#m C#m C#m C#m No! Please! Sorry! Shit! A B "I'll let it go this time, but if you leave again C#m I'll break your fucking jaw!" C#m C#m C#m C#m Super! Great! Okay!
[Verse 10]
A E Thank you Old Man, for saving my life A E Thank you again and again A E You could have let them barbeque me, A E But you acted like a friend A E "I'm not your friend, I don't even like you A E I'm just a drunk," he said A E To prove his point, he drank a bottle of grain alcohol A B C#m And beat the fucking shit out of my head. (Ow! ow! ow! You're hurting me, old man!)
[Verse 11]
Cm Bb Cm Fm G Cm That night a suffered a concussion deep inside my goat brain Cm Bb Cm I still cannot feel my tail bone Bb Ab G7 And Ill probably never walk straight again Cm Bb Cm I guess you'd call me a scapegoat Ab Bb Cm A punching bag for the Old Man to mock Cm Bb Cm Just because his wife left him Ab Fm G7 For his brother's abnormally large cock Cm Bb Eb He could have been my buddy Ab Bb Cm But instead he's a crazy old fuck Ab Eb G F7 And, once again, I go to sleep in my eternal home Ab Gm7 C D Eb F Ab Bb C The back of the pick-up truck
Goodnight, Old Man!
"Yeah, goodnight Goat!"
