Outer Scorpion Squadron The Mountain Goats
No one online had anything even close, so I thought I would contribute my version
(NOTE: The actual chords are complex variations of this, but this works nicely for
an acoustic guitar)
*Timing for the chord
changes are occasionally a bit off, listen to the song, they're easy enough to figure out*
[C]If you reall[Am]y want to [F]conjure up a ghost
[C]Cultivate a [Am]space for the t[F]hings that hurt you mos[G]t
[Am]Rake [C]the sands until[F] they surface
[Em]Bind [C]their ti[F]ny eyes
[C]Stake out yo[Am]ur positio[F]n, let your armor fall
[C]Stay put til[Am] they find you,[F] it won't take long at al[G]l
[Am]Rake [C]the sands until[F] they surface
[Em]Up they co[C]me, gone tra[F]nslucent
[C]They're c[Am]oming up no matter w[F]hat
[Am]Fools rush in[Em] and the doo[C]rs s[G]lam [F]shut
[C]Ghosts of my[Am] childhood[F] stay with me, if you will
[C]Find a place[Am] where there's [F]water, hold you under til you're s[G]till
[Am]Rake the sa[C]nds until they surface[F]
[Em]Don't le[C]t anybody call them ugly[F]
Alternate C and F for outro, end on C
Thats it! Beautiful song, enjoy playing it.
