Mountain Goats – Dance Music
This isn't my first tab but the first one i'm sharing... i've viewed the other tabs for
song and they are close but i think this sounds a bit closer.. enjoy :)
Tuning: Standard
[Intro]
G Em (x3) C D
[Verse 1]
G C D G
alright i'm on johnson avenue in san luis obispo
G C D G
and i'm five years old or six maybe.
G C D G
and indications that there's something wrong with our new house,
C D
trip down the wire twice daily.
[Verse 2]
G C D G
i'm in the living room watching the watergate hearings,
G C D G
while my stepfather yells at my mother
G C D G
launches a glass across the room, straight at her head.
C D
and i dash upstairs to take cover,
[Chorus 1]
C G
lean in close to my little record player on the floor,
C D
so this is what the volume knob's for,
G C D G
i listen to dance music.
G C D G
dance music.
[Bridge]
G Em (x3) C D
[Verse 3]
G C D G
okay so look i'm seventeen years old
G C D G
you're the last best thing i got going
G C
but then the special secret sickness
D G
starts to eat through you
C D
what am i supposed to do? no way of knowing
[Verse 4]
G C D G
so i follow you down your twisting alleyways
G C D G
find a few cul-de-sacs of my own
G C D G
there's only one place this road ever ends up
C D
and i don't wanna die alone
[Chorus 2]
C G
let me down, let me down, let me down gently
C D
when the police come to get me
G C D G
i listen to dance music.
G C D G
dance music.
[Outro] G C D G (x4)
