-Riches and Wonders
-by The Mountain Goats
-I'm not 100% sure about the chord placement.  Also, the strumming pattern you have to figure out yourself.
-As a sidenote, I like to play those E chords with a little improvised plucking on the first two or three strings,
-just to break up the monotony a little.  It sounds like Darnielle does something like that on the song anyway.
-John also adds a F# to the E chord every now and then (making it Esus2). You can hear it in the intro and a lot
-of the times that an E comes in, it actually starts out with that 2nd added and then dropped. For example, at the
-end of the line "We stayed up all night". I've added the Esus2 chord shape below.
-A7add9    Esus2

-and i keep you safe from harm, you hold me in your arms
-               E              B
-and i want to go home, but i am home
-(interlude - 2 measures of E major, one measure of A7add9, one measure of A major, repeat as necessary)
-(ending is also just an E major chord)
