The Mountain Goats – Beat The Devil (Guitar)

      C                              D
Hauling peanut butter crank through Arizona,

      F                                  C
gotta keep the glow stick babies fat and happy.

Bb                          F
Cactus standing taller than Goliath,

C                              G
all the vultures come directly at me

      C                              D
We stash it in between some bales of lumber,

      F                        C
on flatbeds coming in from Colorado.

   Bb                                    F
I don't know what you're doing back in Memphis

C                              G
All winter you've been incommunicado.

C               Bb
Take a picture, do it fast.

F
For the good times,

F                 G           C
for the good times that won't last.

      C                              D
Hot sun peels the paint down to the primer,

      F                         C
overheating engine spits and whines.

   Bb                                 F
Try to keep our minds on what we're doing,

C                              G
try to keep the wheels between the lines.

      C                              D
The feeling when the cop car flips its lights on

      F                                  C
The near electric tension crackling here inside the truck

   Bb                               F
The lack of any word from you in Memphis

C                              G
The sounds of someone running out of luck.

C               Bb
Take a picture, do it fast.

F
For the good times,

F                 G           C
for the good times that won't last.
