The Mountain Goats – San Bernardino (Guitar)

C      Csus4           C
We got in your car and we hit the highway

C       Csus4          C
Eastern sun was rising over the mountains

           F
Yellow and blood red bits

       C                       Csus4                     C
like a kaleidoscope

C           Csus4                C
And flaming swords may guard the garden of Eden

C      Csus4               C
But we consulted maps from earlier days

               F
Dead languages on our tongues

                  C              Csus4               C
Holding on to our last hope

        F                  G
And the day was bright and fine

        F                            C             G
And the highway sign said, “San Bernadino welcomes you”’

C            Csus4    C
I checked us into our motel and filled the bathtub

C           Csus4            C
And you got in the warm warm water

         F
I pulled petals from my pocket

               C                    Csus4                     C
I loved you so much just then

C          Csus4             C
And it was hard but you were brave, you are splendid

C           Csus4    C
And we will never be alone in this world

          F          
no matter what they say

            C                    Csus4                         C
We’re gonna be okay

         F      G
We were safe inside

        F                        C             G
and our new son cried, “San Bernadino welcomes you”
