The Mountain Goats – In The Hidden Places (Guitar)

Am                                      Dm
Autumn came around like a drifter to an onramp

Am                                        Dm
There were wet leaves floating in gutters full of rain

Am                              Dm
Took to walking barefoot around town

F                            G
Melodies from grade school, kicking in my brain

Am                              Dm
Saw you on the crosstown bus today

Am
You were reading a magazine

Dm                                       F
I turned my face away and I shut my eyes tight

       G                                                       Dm
And dreamed about the flowers that hide from the light on dark hillsides

                Am
In the hidden places

Am                                              Dm
The brakes howled and the bus pulled up near my house

Am                   Dm
And I got off at the corner

Am                               Dm
Pulled my sleeves down over my hands, over my hands

F
And I wished I was someone else

G
And I wished it was warmer

Am                     Dm
And when I got home, I thought about you

Am                          Dm
Like a desperate policeman, searching for clues

                    F
And I almost passed out, just then

G
And I shut my eyes again

                    Dm
Headed for the dark hillsides

              Am
In the hidden places
