The Mountain Goats – Noctifer Birmingham (Guitar)

C                       G
I had to stop and catch my breath

         C                     F
When the telephone rang out as loud as death

       C                    G
It was three in the morning

            C                       F
There was a low drone of katydids behind your voice

      C    Em   Bb                      F
And I came down from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

      C       G              C G
And I saw you by the highway

C                   G
You asked me if the north was alright

      C                        F
And I said that it got kind of cold at night

        C               G
I could feel your bones shivering

C                 F
Way down there in Birmingham

      C    Em   Bb                      F
And I came down from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

      C       G              C G C F C G C F
And I saw you by the highway

C                                       G
You reminded me of all the things you'd given up forever

        C                                F
And you asked about the children and you asked about the weather

      C    Em   Bb                      F
And I came down from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

      C       G              C G C F C G C F C
And I saw you by the highway
