The Mountain Goats – Sicilian Crest (Guitar)

G                   G         G
In these times of wanting prophesy

      C        D                         Em         Em
And false witnesses up to all manner of deviltry

           C
Drench a kitchen rag in heretic's blood

            D
Wash your windows and prepare for the flood

            G      G  D  G
Look to the West

            G     G  D  G
Look to the man

             G              G D G
bearing the Sicilian crest

G                G                G               G
Portents in the sky say that the time is near

C               D                Em
Dial into the signal, coming in loud and clear

     C
Sacrificial victims out of the cage

D
Smiling as they're taking the stage

            G      G  D  G
Look to the West

            G     G  D  G
Look to the man

             G              G D G
bearing the Sicilian crest

           Am                 Em
Out of the blue, everything's new

Am                              Em      G
     All the talk we heard was true

     Am
The legends we all heard once

      D
The whispers from the storefronts

             Am
Hope for the best

                 G
Prepare for the worst

    C                     D                   Em
We wait like stock-piled landmines, ready to burst

 C
Wait all your life to see what you see

 D
Open up your eyes and be free

            G      G  D  G
Look to the West

            G     G  D  G
Look to the man

             G              G D G
bearing the Sicilian crest
