Golden Jackal Song

Tabbed by Treeom of Mountain-Goats.com Forums

Intro C# G# 

C# 
well I swung through town 
G# 
shining like a new quarter 
felt something sharp rise up within me 
C# 
when I crossed the border 
stopped at the gas station payphone 
G# 
I let my fingers fly 
the wicked impulses were dying 
C# 
but I couldn't let them die 
we were over at your place 
singin about the old times 
D#minor 
no one had anything to prove 
F# 
I ate so much carrion 
----C#-------------G# F# G G# 
that I could not move 
I was bloated 

when I saw your kitchen 
glistening like the old country 
all your cups and glasses 
lined up in front of me 
I stopped at the faucet for a minute 
waited til you came in to see what was wrong 
your fingers brushed my ribs playfully 
and I played along 
you had your tongue in my mouth 
your eyes glistening in the light 
I ate rich raw carrion
til I couldn't think right 
I was golden
