The Mountain Goats – New Hydra Collection (Guitar)

Am
With the hopeful few

C                 D
Hell bent on doing

    Em
The work that you cowards won't do

Em
Weaving the future

Am                       C   D
From bright new threads

G      D        C
Prices on their heads

Em
Someday the abomination

Am
Is going to finally make land

        C           D
We stay silent as a snowdrift

Em
Focused on the task at hand

Am                          C    D
When the calm waters break

              G     D        C
And something rises from the lake

         G                           C
Someday, all of you people will know

    G                  Am          A
The safe way isn't the only way to go

Em
Movement in the grid

Am
As fish leap in thе air

C                D
It's only a test run

              Em
And still the tension's too dеlicious to bear

Am
Big smiles, high fives

C               D
According to my projections

     G               D             C
Everybody's going to run for their lives

         Bm                            Em
Still we wait until our time has come

C                              Em
Down here where the engines hum

F                 Em     D
Exiled priests of Rome

Am                         C
Bringing our troubles back home

    G                           C
Someday, all of you people will know

    G                  Am          A
The safe way isn't the only way to go
