The Mountain Goats – Cry For Judas (Guitar)

A                            Bm
 Some things you do just to see

    D                        A Asus2
how bad they'll make you feel.

A                          Bm
 Sometimes you try to freeze time

                         D              A          Asus2
til those thoughts are a blur of spinning wheels.

    A         Bm
But I am just a broken machine,

      D             A               E
and I do things that I don't really mean.

           A
Long black night,

        C#m
Morning frost.

          F#m
I'm still here,

           D  
But all is lost.

A                        Bm
 Speed up to the precipice,

    D                     A Asus2
And then slam on the brakes.

A                             Bm
 Some people crash two or three times,

         D                       A Asus2
And then learn from their mistakes.

A                      Bm
 But we are the ones who don't slow down at all,

           D             A              E
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall.

           A
Long black night,

        C#m
Morning frost.

          F#m
I'm still here,

           D  E  
But all is lost.

         F#m            D                 A
Feel the storm every night, hope it passes by.

E                     F#m       D               A Asus2
  Hallucinate the shady grove where Judas went to die.

A                      Bm
 Unfurl the black velvet alter cloth,

       D                  A Asus2
Draw a white chalk Baphomet.

A                       Bm
 Mistreat your alter boys long enough,

    D                  A Asus2
And this is what you get. 

A                   Bm
 Sad and angry, can't learn how to behave.

D                          A             E
 Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave.

           A
Long black night,

        C#m
Morning frost.

          F#m
I'm still here,

           D  
But all is lost.
