Artist: The Mountain Goats & Kaki King Song: Black Pear Tree [Intro] A D E A D E [Verse 1]
A                     D                   E
     I dug a hole and filled it up with compost

A                                    D     E
     Rested in the cool grass for a minute

A                          D               E
     I saw the future in a dream last night

F#m  A                     D E
     There's nothing in it
[Interlude] A F#m D A F#m D [Verse 2]
  A             D                 E
     I set the sapling in the hole

     A                                   D E
     Started gently tamping down the dirt

A                              D           E
     I saw the future in a dream last night

F#m  A                           D                    E
     Somebody's gonna get hurt, somebody's gonna get hurt

F#m A                 D  A
     I hope it's not me

D              A                 E         D 
     But I suspect it's going to have to be
[Interlude] A F#m D A F#m D [Verse 3]
A             D                     E
     I dug my heels in for the winter

A                          Esus7    E
     And I waited for the snow

A                                    D                     E
     But something was stuck up in the clouds, something was stuck up there

F#m A                D E
     It couldn't let go
[Interlude] A F#m D A F#m D [Verse 4]
A                            D              E
     And when the time came, I could see it happen

     A                                      D E
     Blossoms black and sweet as Texas crude

A                      D                        E
     I saw the future flowering like a ruptured vessel

F#m  A                      D      E
     Somebody's gonna get screwed

F#m A              D A
     It won't be me

F#m           A             E                   D
     Some day I am going to walk out of here free
[Outro] A F#m D A F#m D A F#m D A F#m D A
