The Mountain Goats – Going To Scotland (Guitar)

A           E                       A        A
There was a barn owl trapped in the rafters.

A               E                    A     A
The ground underneath us was wet and cold.

   A                        E
We heard the owl thrashing about,

       A                  D
Trying desperately to get out.

A           E                            A     A
We stood outside and watched the night unfold.

A              E              A        A
We watched the sun go down on Scotland,

A                 A                 E    E
and I watched the moon come up over you.

A                                 A
When a pack of dogs went silently past us,

D                            D
We knew we'd been given fair warning,

A                E             A     A
but that was the only thing we knew.

A                      E                    A      A
And you threw all your luggage out onto the water.

A              E                  A     A
And I tore the shirt away from my back.

A                                 E
The cold came on with a new found in-tensity,

A                               D
And you pressed your warm body against me.

A                  E                     A     A
And I loved you so much it was making me sick.

A                  E              A         A
And we watched the sun go down on Scotland,

A                      A               E     E
We were glad that we'd left Oklahoma behind.

A                                  A
I took your hips in my hands and I threw you down

D                           D
To the new found rich brown deep wet ground.

A                    E             A      A
Had a vision of you, burning on my mind.

A              E              A        A
We watched the sun go down on Scotland,

A                 A                 E    E
and I watched the moon come up over you.

A                                 A
When a pack of dogs went silently past us,

D                            D
We knew we'd been given fair warning,

A                E             A     A
but that was the only thing we knew.
