The Mountain Goats – San Bernardino (Ukulele)

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

   C     Csus4           C         Csus4
Eastern sun was rising over the mountains

            F
Yellow and blood red bits

           C        Csus4 C Csus4
Like a kaleidoscope

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

C       Csus4              C        Csus4
But we consulted maps from earlier days

                F
Dead languages on our tongues

                   C       Csus4  C  Csus4
Holding onto our last hope

         G     N.C.
And the day was bright and fine

            F       G
And the highway sign said

            C             F F G
"San Bernardino welcomes you"

    C     Csus4         C                 Csus4
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 Csus4
I loved you so much just then

 C          Csus4              C
And it was hard but you were brave

         Csus4
You are splendid

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

           F
No matter what they say

            C          Csus4 C Csus4
We're gonna be okay

          G  N.C.
We were safe inside

                        F G
And our new son cried:

           C               F   G C
"San Bernardino, welcomes you."
