The Mountain Goats are an American band formed in Claremont, California, by singer-songwriter John Darnielle. The band is currently based in Durham, North Carolina. For many years, the sole member of the Mountain Goats was Darnielle, despite the plural moniker.

G Dug up a fifth of Hood River gin C That stuff tastes like medicine FC But I'll take it G It'll do G On the couch in the living room all day long C Music on the television playing our song FC I'm in the mood G The mood for you
GCF (2x)
G Turn the volume up real high C All of that money look at it fly FCG And you smoking like a chimney G Shadows crawled across the living room's length C I held onto you with a desperate strength FCG With everything with everything in me DC And I handed you a drink of a lovely little thing G On which our survival depends DC People say friends don't destroy one another D What do they know about friends?
GCF (4x)
G Thunderclouds forming cream white moon C Everything's going to be okay soon FC Maybe tomorrow G Maybe the next day G Carried you up the stairs that night C All of this could be yours if the price is right FC I heard cars headed down to oblivion G Up on the expressway D Your drunken kisses as light as the air CG Maybe everything that falls down eventually rises D Our house sinking into disrepair CG Ah but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes
