The Mountain Goats – Dinu Lipattis Bones (Guitar)

B                         Ebm
We stank of hair dye and ammonia

E                             B
We sealed ourselves away from view

B                       Ebm
You were looking at the void and seldom blinking

    E                 B
The best that I could do

       E                F#
Was to train my eyes on you

E                    B
We scaled the hidden hills beneath the surface

E                   B
Scraped our fingers bloody on the stones

E                  B                   G#m
And built a little house that we could live in

E                     B
Out of Dinu Lipatti's bones

B                      Ebm
We kept our friends at bay all summer long

E                                 B
Treated the days as though they'd kill us if they could

B                 Ebm
Wringing out the hours like blood-drenched bedsheets

        E             B
To keep wintertime at bay

      E                F#
But December showed up anyway

E                          B
There was no money; it was money that you wanted

E                         B
I went downtown, sold off most of what I owned

E                        B                 G#m
And we raised a tower to broadcast all our dark dreams

E                   B
From Dinu Lipatti's bones
