The Mountain Goats – Murder At The 18Th St Garage (Guitar)

E              G#               A
I'm in the repair bay casting spells

E                           G#
Mystic in the glow of the spotlight

F#m                     B
Ringing out the funeral bells

A            B                E      A
Tending the fires, gathering power

B
May I present the man of the hour

             E             G#    A
Placing his faith in the strength of the safety visor

             E             G#    A
Placing his faith in the strength of the safety visor

A
Leaving only slightly diminished

B
Older but wiser

E                G#                         A
I'm down on the concrete with a bucket and rag

       E                     G#
When you've got a big job to do

     F#m                    B
You notice how the moments drag

A              B                 E
Live in the present, savor the grind

A                  B
Relish the time before you have to leave it behind

             E             G#    A
Placing your faith in the strength of the safety visor

             E             G#    A
Placing your faith in the strength of the safety visor

A
Leaving only slightly diminished

B
Older but wiser

            G#m
Smarter but scared now

A
Wearing an exile's mark

B
One that's gonna glow in the dark

E                   G#                A
I'm out on the sidewalk, scrubbed clean

E                        G#
Take all your worry and care

F#                     B
Feed it to the big machine

A                       B
Once you commit to the turn

E
You're going to have to follow through

A
Cover your eyes when the splash comes

B
It's the only thing you can do

             E             G#    A
Placing your faith in the strength of the safety visor

             E             G#    A
Placing your faith in the strength of the safety visor

A
Leaving only slightly diminished
