The Mountain Goats – Sail Babylon Springs (Guitar)

D
And meanwhile downstairs

C
I'm setting up shop,

G
A little too proud

Em
To let the matter drop

D
And i can hear you up there,

C
Isn't it romantic?

G
You're huffing and puffing, rearranging

Em
deck chairs on the Titanic

D
And i reach for a glass

Em                  G
Of cool water drawn

A D
 From the rivers of Babylon.

D
And meanwhile outside,

C
The stars have come out.

G
And the humid summer air

Em
Pulls at the ring in my snout.

D
And you stand at your window looking down,

C
And i spread wide my arms.

G
Jump if you want to jump, jump if you want to.

Em
the water's warm.

D
I know.

Em                                            G
I know 'cause i've been swimming blindly along

A D
 Through the rivers of babylon.
