The Mountain Goats – Stabbed To Death Outside San Juan (Guitar)

Em
The winter's wet, and the summer's hot

       Am                   C         Em
Take a match in Puerto Rico, why not

Em
Power and adrenaline flowing like amber

         Am                    C
From the recesses of the earth, put on your waders

    B                          C
And twitch when the water runs high sometimes

Am                        Em
Twitch when the tide ebbs low

Em
See the sights, maybe go downtown

    Am                                    C                  Em
Sometimes you get some heat, sometimes it follows you around

Em
When the blade hits the bone, everybody hears it sing

Am                                 C
Shower room full of people, no one hears a goddamned thing

  B                            C
A twitch when the current runs wild sometimes

Am                      Em
Twitch when the contact howls

Em
All that racket out there in the arena

Am                C                        Em
I'm on a stretcher, here come the cleaners

Em
And the sky goes dark and there I am

Am                                    C
Climbing down the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram

  B                       C
I drop from the top of my tall steel cage

Am                   Em
Drop to the concrete floor
