The Mountain Goats – Waco (Guitar)

G
Where the dry dust turns the sunset pink

      C                       D
Where all summer long it's so hot that you can't think straight

G
Where we pulled water from a well by hand

C                          D
Half a world away from the old promised land

Em                       G
We understand we've been given

C                      D
A new covenant, a real sharp one

Em                        G
And we spend our days and nights

C                           D
Gaining appreciation of its finer points

G                           C                  D
And waiting for the dead to rise up from their graves

G                C                      D
Waiting for Jesus to come along and save us

    G          C
And biding our time

G          C
Biding our time

G          D                    G
Biding our time as best we know how

G
Where the Texas doughboys used to play

  C                             D
Before the wind blew everything away

G
Where we came to get away from our friends

C                                D
Where we'd tell each other jokes waiting for the world to end

Em                    G
We know our jokes are funny

C                                 D
But in all the wrong ways and for all the wrong reasons

Em                            G
And we rent old George Romero movies

C          D
Relish the short time left

G                       C                  D
Waiting for the dead to rise up from their graves

G                C                      D
Waiting for Jesus to come along and save us

         G          C
Yes, and biding our time

G          C
Biding our time

G          D                    G
Biding our time as best we know how
