The Mountain Goats – Cao Dai Blowout (Guitar)

G                               D
he came knocking down the street lights

C                               G
tearing up the new grass on the lawn

G                          D
  he was frightening off the livestock

C                        G
  I could feel him coming on

        C                   G
I let the Citranella dissolve in my hand

C                    D
I began to feel real bad

           G                               C
when the ghost of your father comes to town

G                         C
what the hell else can you do

            G
I flung open all the windows

D
put the water on for tea

           C
and let him pass right on through

G                           D
  he took to knocking over furniture

C                                 G
getting into the reception on the wireless

G                       D
   he tore up all the dry goods in the pantry

C                          G
  he was strong and he was tireless

                C             G
when the priest came to call, I sent him on his way

       C                          D
I got a tremor in my hands and my feet are made of clay

        G                            C
when the ghost of your father starts pushing you around

G                             C
   how are you gonna make him stop

G                     D        C
   I took down all the crosses, I let him set up shop
