The Mountain Goats – Shelved (Guitar)

Dm7                  Dm
I wanna ride the hydraulics

Dm7
Lit up like the North Star

Dm7/C                                   Bb
I wanna wallow in the spoils before the crowd

Db/C               Dm7
I wanna play my guitar

Dm7                  Dm
Not gonna sit up and beg

Dm7          Dm
Not gonna do tricks

Dm7/C                     Bb
Not gonna stand here on a sound stage

Bb/A               A
Tethered to a crucifix

Dm
The ride's over

Dm7/C  Gm
I      know

    Bb               Gm
But I'm not ready to go

Dm7                                   Dm
I wanna flash my pastel colors by the rail

Dm7
On a windy day at Pimlico

Dm7/C                                                    Bb
Don't want to write songs with this clown they set me up with

Db/C                            A
In a Los Angeles rehearsal studio

Dm7                       Dm
Not gonna tour with Trent Reznor

Dm7                           Dm
Third of three, bottom of the bill

Dm7/C                                 Bb
You can't pay me to make that kind of music

Bb/A                   A
Not gonna swallow that pill

Dm7
The ride's over

Dm7/C  Gm
I      know

    Bb               Gm
But I'm not ready to go

D
Maybe dad is right

G
I'm still young

Em                          D
And I can write C++ just as good as anyone

D
I know this guy at Lucasarts

G
He says they're looking for hands

Em
In fifteen years I'll be throwing back beers

D
With my feet in the sand
