The Mountain Goats – Wolf Count (Guitar)

G
Live among the starveling wolves

G
Get lost inside the pack

G
Pull at a carcass till my tooth breaks

G
Your grown-up teeth --

                 F     Am
They don't grow back

                 G
They don't grow back

G
Find a clearing in the forest

G
Wait for word from the battlefront

G
Sing to the moon until your throat's raw

G
The Lord of the manor --

                                  F     Am
He won't be coming back from the hunt

                                  G
He won't be coming home from the hunt

C    D        Em         C
Soon it'll be my time to go

   G
I know

G
Breach the perimeter with my brethren

G
Know who your friends are when you need them

G
Sleep soundly with the enemy

             G
And remember me --

                                   F      Am
Too dumb to trade his cloak for freedom

                                   G
Too dumb to trade his cloak for freedom

D    Em                G        A#   Am
Run, run ahead, all of you --

                        G
I'll catch up when I'm able to

G
Seek the manor grounds anew

G
Too dark to find the path

G
Sleep on the road and dream the only dream worth dreaming --

G
The thronging plain

       F      Am  Fm  G
The bloodbath

C   D         Em         C
Soon it'll be my time to go

   G
I know
