The Mountain Goats – Passaic 1975 (Guitar)

D                                  C
 Write something down in illegible script

E                                  Am
 As we're approaching the landing strip

Dm                          Am
 New Gibson SG, inlaid with pearl

F  G      A
 Tonight Passaic

F  G          A
 tomorrow the world

D                              C
 In a Holiday Inn by a nameless river

E                                    Am
 Renew the assault on my lungs and my liver

Dm                                    Am
 And while I'm waiting for the company man

F G        A
Slip on my kimono

F G              A
that I bought in Japan

A                        D
Tell the crowd, tell the world

A                      D
I want everyone to get high

A                        D
Tell the press, tell the cameras

A                      D
I want everyone to get high

D                                              C
 And the tech crew in Memphis has a present for me

E                     
 A screen that scrolls lyrics

Am                         
 Like the ones they have on TV

Dm                            Am
 The deluxe model, one of only four thousand made

F  G           A
 Black out that night

F G                      A
 in front of ten thousand paid

G                              F
In the back lounge, in between stops

E                                     Am
Contingency plans in case the new one flops

G#                              G
Sometimes I wake up coughing up blood

F  G    A
Tonight IndianapoliS

F  G         A
tomorrow the flood

A                       D
Tell the person next to you

A                      D
I want everyone to get high

A                         D
Tell your boss, tell your mother

A                      D
I want everyone to get high

G
Get high
