+ | This is one of the more aurally complex Mountain Goats songs. | ||
+ | I'm pretty sure about the verse and chorus chords, but when the strings swell | ||
+ | during the bridge it's a little hard to tell what's going on underneath, so those | ||
+ | chords are basically just a guess. Also, I recommend playing the F/G chord | ||
+ | with your thumb on the third fret of the E string, like so: | ||
+ | |||
+ | F/G | ||
+ | e-------| | ||
+ | B---1---| | ||
+ | G---2---| | ||
+ | D---3---| | ||
+ | A-------| | ||
+ | E---3---| | ||
