The Mountain Goats – Heretic Pride (Guitar)

                                   A
Well they come and pull me from my house

                                  D
And they drag my body through the streets

                                  E              D
And the sun’s so hot I think I’ll catch fire and burn up

                               A
in the summer air so moist and sweet

                               A
And the people all come out to cheer

                              D
Rocks in the pathway break my skin

                               E            D
And there’s honeysuckle on the faint breeze today

                              A
With every breath I’m drawing in

          F#m                 D
I want to cry out but I don’t scream and I don’t shout

           A              D
And I feel so proud to be alive

           A  E                 D
And I feel so proud to when the reckoning arrives

                          A
Crowds grow denser by the second

                             D
As we near the center of the town

                                   E                 D
And they dig a trench right in the main square right there

                                 A
And they pick me up and throw me down

                            A
And I start laughing like a child

                              D
And I mark their faces one by one

                       E              D
Transfigurations gonna come for me at last

                                A
And I will burn hotter than the sun

         F#m                     D
I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue

           A              D
And I feel so proud to be alive

           A  E              D
And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives
