the Mountain Goats Wiki

tabbed by irlpinkiepie

Note by Rosa: the Asus4 riff is a little funky and it seems like he switches it up a lot, 
adding a D major in in the intro (most of the song is played with D5 more or less, like most Goats songs in D),
or playing it as something like x0023x-x0045x. Feel free to mess around or find a version you like.
As well, the C could be played as Csus2 (x3203x) if you'd like.
As live versions come out I'll try to update this further to reflect how he actually plays it.
