-<code>Updated:  the below is mostly correct, but I found that two changes will more closely match how John plays this song.
-First, tune everything down a whole step, so that normal E = D
-Second, change the "D" chord (actually B- (or with new tuning C#-) minor sus4 add6, I think) as follows:
-e--0
-B--7
-G--7
-D--9
-A--0
-E--x
-This is my favorite Mountain Goats song, and I haven't seen it posted anywhere else.  Enjoy.

-I don't know if it's the way Darnielle tuned it, or the Panasonic,
-but this song is played in kind of an off tuning.
-I just tabbed it in a normal key for convenience. Also,
-I think the first chord might technically be an inverted Bm,
-but I'm not sure, so I'm just calling it a D.
