Mountain Goats – Night Light chords

Night Light, by The Mountain Goats, from the album Transcendental Youth.
Not too sure about the A/B chords in the instrumental parts, but it's the best I can get
from the key (Dmaj/Bmin) and the one live video of John Darnielle performing this that
I found.

-------------------

Standard tuning, no capo.

Bm  -  x24432
Em  -  022000
A   -  x02220
G   -  320033
D   -  x00232
A/B -  x2222x (can be played as an A because it's easier, but I think A/B is technically correct).



BmPull my mask so tight
Em  Till it pinches my skin.
G                  Bm  Nerves strung so high:
G                 A
  I Am A mandolin.


Bm Jenny calls from Montana,
G She's only passing through.
D Probably never see her again, in this life, I guess,
A Not sure what I'm gonna do.


       GPlug a night light in;
          BmLeave the porch light on.
            GBecause the small dark corners
        BmHave designs on me.
              ALive like an outlaw,
               GClutching gold coins in his claw.



Bm A/B G Bm



BmRoom full of ambitious young policemen,
EmEverybody trying to make his mark.
        G                       DI was a red dot blinking on the screen up overhead;
G                          A   And then the room went dark.


BmDream of maybe waking up someday
    GAnd wanting you less than I do.
D    This is a dream, though:
A    It's never gonna come true.


       GPlug a night light in;
          BmLeave the porch light on.
            GBecause the small dark corners
                   BmAre establishing a colony.
             ALive like an outlaw,
               GClutching gold coins in his claw.



Bm A/B G Bm A/B G G



Bm  Can't ever set aside the sweetness
       EmOf the days before the crews put up the border.
G                 Bm   Fields full of wet rain
G                                    A  Cling tight to their memory forever.


BmThink about Montana when I close my eyes;
G  Possibly Jenny's headed east.
D  Count a couple of stray hopes out loud;
A  May their numbers one day be increased.


       GPlug a night light in;
          BmLeave the porch light on.
            GBecause the small dark corners
                   BmBreathe like heavy animals.
              ALive like an outlaw,
               GClutching gold coins in his claw.



Bm A/B until end.  End on Bm.
