Tuning: E A D G B E
From the Mountain Goats Wiki by kevin ricker.
Instead of playing a real C#, play the standard D, 1 fret lower, and slide up to the D.
Don't mute the other strings - the dissonance is critical.
The add he does is merely him only depressing a D note (middle fingering on a standard D chord)
and letting the open G & E strings ring.
Second-to-last verse is probably wrong
C#wheDn I catch sight of your Gface
C#andD the late light falling on Git
C#I fDeel scared and I scope tAhe area out for a gGood place to hiDde
C#wheDn I feel the way your fiGngers
C#wigDgle in my paGlm
C#I fDeel warm and I feel good inGside
Dand I know that you're wearing a wAire
Dbut as the sun becomes a blazing orangGe ball of fire
I lose inDterest in this and other such incAonsequential questiDons
C#wheDn you kick off your Gshoes
C#andD I see the wet grass give wGay underneath your feet
C#andD the sunset rears up oncAe more to its burial ground
Gwell, you look Dso sweet
(D) (A)
and I know you'll be turning me in
(D) (G)
but I also know your real name's not Amy Lynn
(D) (A)
and as the orange globe rears up to swallow us, too,
(D) (G)
I see you look at me and figure out what I know about you
(D)
well, I'm not telling
(A) (D)
I'm not telling you anything
