The Mountain Goats – Brisbane Hotel Sutra (Guitar)

D                           A
  On the crooked road that took me north

G                      D
  And brought me home again

D                           A
  From the pit of writhing serpents

G                    D
  Out to the lion's den

D                             A
  Where the labyrinth is lightless

Bm                         F#m
  And the faithless wander crazed

G                             D
  Let the light rise from the darkness

A                         D
  Let his name be praised

D                            A
  From the sunrise of my childhood

G                          D
  To its premature demise

D                          A
  From my mother's best intentions

G                          D
  To my stepdad's seething eyes

D                         A
  From the hidden self-inflicted wounds

Bm                       F#m
  That flowered in later days

G                       D
  To the folly of their learning

A                         D
  Let his name be praised

D                             A
  In the holes the worms have eaten

G                            D
  Through all once-treasured things

D                           A
  From the wet mouth of the vulture

G                        D
  To the red tips of his wings

D                          A
  In the dazed eyes of the penitent

Bm                  F#m
  Emerging from the maze

G                      D
  In his wordless explanations

A                         D
  Let his name be praised
