Night Light, by The Mountain Goats, from the album Transcendental Youth.
Not too sure about the A/B chords in the instrumental parts, but it's the best I can get
from the key (Dmaj/Bmin) and the one live video of John Darnielle performing this that
I found.
-------------------
Gm - x24432
Dm - 022000
F - x02220
F - 320033
C - x00232
G/A - x2222x (can be played as an A because it's easier, but I think A/B is technically correct).
Gm Pull my mask so tight Dm Till it pinches my skin. F Gm Nerves strung so high:
F F
I Gm F mandolin.
Gm Jenny calls from Montana, F She's only passing through. C Probably never see her again, in this life, I guess, F Not sure what I'm gonna do. F Plug a night light in; Gm Leave the porch light on. F Because the small dark corners Gm Have designs on me. F Live like an outlaw, F Clutching gold coins in his claw.
Gm G/A F Gm
Gm Room full of ambitious young policemen, Dm Everybody trying to make his mark. F C I was a red dot blinking on the screen up overhead; F F And then the room went dark. Gm Dream of maybe waking up someday F And wanting you less than I do. C This is a dream, though: F It's never gonna come true. F Plug a night light in; Gm Leave the porch light on. F Because the small dark corners Gm Are establishing a colony. F Live like an outlaw, F Clutching gold coins in his claw.
Gm G/A F Gm G/A F F
Gm Can't ever set aside the sweetness Dm Of the days before the crews put up the border. F Gm Fields full of wet rain F F Cling tight to their memory forever. Gm Think about Montana when I close my eyes; F Possibly Jenny's headed east. C Count a couple of stray hopes out loud; F May their numbers one day be increased. F Plug a night light in; Gm Leave the porch light on. F Because the small dark corners Gm Breathe like heavy animals. F Live like an outlaw, F Clutching gold coins in his claw.
Gm G/A until end. End on Gm.
