The Mountain Goats - Sourdoire valley song

^FBang the small rocks on the big ones 'Til ^Dmthe small ones are sharp and clean Catch some^Gthing, kill ^Gmsomething ^BbNew blade cuts real keen

And then ^Fthe grass grows up to ^Amcover up the ^Bbfire pit and the forge ^FHalf a world away from ^Cthe Olduvai ^FGorge

^FChew these roots for a toothache Chew ^Dmthese ones for atmosphere Dream the ^Gmpleasant dreams that people dream ^BbWhen they grow up down here

And then ^Fthe grass grows up to ^Amcover up the ^Bbfire pit and the forge ^FHalf a world away from ^Cthe Olduvai ^FGorge

^GmTake care of the old man ^FSee if he's in pain ^GmHave somebody stay with him ^BbComfort him when he complains ^FKeep to ourselves mostly Few ^Dmfriends and fewer closer friends Lead a ^Gmlong life if you're lucky ^{G Bb}Hope it never ends

And then ^Fthe grass grows up ^Amto cover up ^Bbthe fire pit and the forge ^FHalf a world away from^C the Olduvai ^FGorge
