The Mountain Goats – Quito (Guitar)

     B             E                 B
When I receive the blessing I've got coming

    A                E                  B
I'm going to raise a nice cold glass of water

    B
And toast the living and the dead

       E
Who've gone before me and my head

     B             F#          B
Will throb like an old wound reopening

     B             A                 E        B
When I get off the bus down there my children

     A                E               B
They all are going to greet me at the station

     B                                 E
Like gypsies they will dance around me and

                                B
The choral droning sounds their voices make will

F#           B
Saturate the evening

     B             A                  E      B
When I get off the wheel I'm going to stop

    A              E             B
And make amends to everyone I've wounded

    B
And when I wave my magic wand

      E
Those few who've slipped the surly bonds

     B         F#            B
Will rise like salmon at the spawning
