Capo: 4 Tuning: E A D G B E
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO CHILDREN - Mountain Goats ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: lostpanda Email: kylelostpanda@yahoo.com Tuning: standard capo on 4th This is the way that I've seen John play it live every time I've seen them. C#m F# D E A F#m C#sus2 A (modified) e|---4---2---2---0---0---2-----4-----x----| B|---5---2---3---0---2---2-----4-----x----| G|---6---3---2---1---2---2-----6-----6----| D|---6---4---0---2---2---4-----6-----2----| A|---4---4-------2---0---4-----4-----0----| E|-------2-------0-------2-----------0----| [Intro] * C#m C#sus2 A (modified)* F# (x2) D E A During the intro, the chords surrounded by *'s are an optional way to simulate the piano part in the song. The main chord is C#m and the other two are played only once in fast succession. the strum pattern is down, down up down up down, down, down with the last two down strums being the second two chords. If you listen for the piano part in the song it's clear. When I play this song I replace all of the fills with this lick, because frankly, I think it sounds AMAZING. [Verse 1]
AI hope that our few rEemaining friends DGive up on trying to Asave us I Ahope we come up with a Efailsafe plot To piss Doff the dumb few that forAgave us AI hope the fences we Emended DFall down beneath their own Eweight And I Ahope we hang on past the F#mlast exit I Dhope it's already too Elate And AI hope the junkyard a few blocks from here F#m
Someday burns down
And DI hope the rising black smoke carries me far away And I never come Eback to this town aDgain
[Chorus]
In my Elife I hope I Alie And tell F#meveryone you were a good wife And I hope you Adie I hope we Eboth die A
C#m F# (x2) D E A [Verse 2]
AI hope I cut myself Eshaving tomorrow DI hope it bleeds all day Along Our Afriends say it's darkest beEfore the sun rises Well Dwe're pretty sure they're all Awrong AI hope it stays dark forEever DI hope the worst isn't Eover And AI hope you blink before F#mI do I Dhope I never get Esober And I Ahope when you think of me years down the line You F#mcan't find one good thing to say And I Dhope that if I found the strength to walk out You'd stay the hell out of my Eway
[Chorus]
I am Ddrowning, there is no sign of Eland You are coming down Awith me F#mhand in unlovable hand And I hope you Adie I hope we Eboth die A
