Mountain Goats – Dance Music This isn't my first tab but the first one i'm sharing... i've viewed the other tabs for song and they are close but i think this sounds a bit closer.. enjoy :) [Intro] G Em (x3) C D [Verse 1]
               G             C         D              G
alright i'm on johnson avenue in san luis obispo

        G          C             D       G
and i'm five years old or six maybe.

        G                    C                    D       G
and indications that there's something wrong with our new house,

C               D
  trip down the wire twice daily.
[Verse 2]
          G       C                 D         G
i'm in the living room watching the watergate hearings,

        G           C            D      G
while my stepfather yells at my mother

            G               C    D                G
launches a glass across the room, straight at her head.

      C                     D
and i dash upstairs to take cover,
[Chorus 1]
        C                                G
lean in close to my little record player on the floor,

C                         D
  so this is what the volume knob's for,

             G      C     D       G
i listen to         dance music.

G     C     D       G
      dance music.
[Bridge] G Em (x3) C D [Verse 3]
                G         C     D     G
okay so look i'm seventeen years old

           G         C           D      G
you're the last best thing i got going

             G              C
but then the special secret sickness

          D           G
starts to eat through you

          C                D
what am i supposed to do?     no way of knowing
[Verse 4]
     G          C            D              G
so i follow you down your twisting alleyways

       G          C         D    G
find a few cul-de-sacs of my own

             G         C         D         G
there's only one place this road ever ends up

    C                 D
and i don't wanna die alone
[Chorus 2]
                    C                 G
let me down, let me down, let me down gently

C                         D
  when the police come to get me

             G      C     D       G
i listen to         dance music.

G     C     D       G
      dance music.
[Outro] G C D G (x4)
