Chords

From the Mountain Goats Wiki by kevin ricker. Instead of playing a real C#, play the standard D, 1 fret lower, and slide up to the D. Don't mute the other strings - the dissonance is critical. The add he does is merely him only depressing a D note (middle fingering on a standard D chord) and letting the open G & E strings ring. Second-to-last verse is probably wrong
C# D                       G
when I catch sight of your face

C# D                          G
and the late light falling on it

C# D                       A                  G              D
I feel scared and I scope the area out for a good place to hide

C# D                       G
when I feel the way your fingers

C# D           G
wiggle in my palm

C# D                          G
I feel warm and I feel good inside

D                                 A
and I know that you're wearing a wire

D                                     G
but as the sun becomes a blazing orange ball of fire

         D                                A                  D
I lose interest in this and other such inconsequential questions

C# D                   G
when you kick off your shoes

C# D                          G
and I see the wet grass give way underneath your feet

C# D                       A
and the sunset rears up once more to its burial ground

G              D
well, you look so sweet

(D)                              (A)
and I know you'll be turning me in

(D)                              (G)
but I also know your real name's not Amy Lynn

(D)                              (A)
and as the orange globe rears up to swallow us, too,

(D)                              (G)
I see you look at me and figure out what I know about you

                  (D)
well, I'm not telling

(A)               (D)
I'm not telling you anything
