The Mountain Goats é o projeto musical do canto/compositor e guitarrista John Darnielle. A revista The New Yorker referiu a ele como "Melhor compositor não-hip-hop da América". No artigo de junho de 2006, revista Paste nominou Darnielle um dos "100 melhores compositores ao vivo". As letras de Darnielle são literais e repletas com imaginário com referências da literatura clássica, religião e mitologia, cultura pop, arte, e história. Outros possuem vagas referências ao seu padrasto
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
This is how John plays it. He uses all barred chords but you might be able to play it capo 3 if you can transpose.
Intro: CmEbF x2
CmEbFCm Pulled off the highway in Missouri and low our hearts were heavy laid EbF Made for the chapel with some spray paint for all the things we'd held in Cm secret
FCm Lord lift up these lifeless bones FCmFG Light cascading through the windows all the rainbow's heavy tones
CmG# He has fixed his sign in the sky CmGCm He has raised me from the pit and set me high
CmEbFCm Left that place in ruin, drunk on the Spirit and high on fumes EbF Checked into a Red Roof in stayed up for several hours and then slept like Cm infants
FCm In the burning fuselage of my days FCmFG Let my mouth be ever fresh with praise
CmG# He has fixed his sign in the sky CmGCm He has raised me from the pit and set me high
FCm Each morning new FCm Each day shot through FCmG# With all the sharps small shards of shrapnel CmG that seem to burst of me and you
CmEbFCm Head down towards kansas We will get there when we get there don't you worry EbF Feel bad about the things we do along the way Cm But not really that bad
FCm We inhaled the frozen air FCmFG Lord send me a mechanic if I'm not beyond repair
CmG# He has fixed his sign in the sky CmGCm He has raised me from the pit and set me high
