xThis is The Mountain Goats' cover of the Silver Jews' song. tab by Dan dtrom4 at aol dot com Em Am Guard my bed while the rain turns the ditches to mirrors B buy a vase of carnations from central Ohio Em where the looking machine can't hear us Em Deep in the night we dream of positions Am there's a line for the phone in the hall B and in the cold places where Spanish is spoken Em most wars end in the fall C G Bm Em You never know where your pet will go G D G D G D Em pet politics Em Still wearing last nights' mascara Am now that her pet was gone for sure B she was shivering so hard Em it looked like there were two of her Em I could see through the sleeve of her blouse Am the mute plans of her architect lover B a tattoo of a boarded-up house Em and ink door that belonged to another C G Bm Em When the rain hits you it hits you slow G D G D G D Em stitch after stitch Adam was not the first man 'though the Bible tells us so There was one created before him, whose name we do not know He also lived in the garden but he had no mouth or eyes One day Adam came to kill him and he died beneath these skies I find it so amazing how I go where I'm led (x2) C G Bm Em I suspect we could be losing now G D G D G D Em please guard my bed (x3)
