The Mountain Goats - Cry for Judas chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
[E] Some things you [A] do [Bm] just to see how [D] bad they'll [A] make you feel.
Sometimes you try to [Bm] freeze time till the thoughts [D] are a blur [A] of spinning wheels.
But I am just [Bm] a broken [E] machine and [D] I do things that [A]
don't [E] really mean [A] all that now.
I am [C#m] morning frost.
[F#m] I am still here, but [D] all is lost.
[A]
Speed up to the precipice [G]
[A] and then slam on the brakes.
Some people crash two or [D] three times and then learn from their [A] mistakes.
But we are the ones [Bm] who don't slow down at [A] [D] all.
Nobody [A] to catch us when we [E] fall.
[A] Long black night, [C#m] morning frost.
[F#m] I am still here, but [D] all is lost.
[E] [D] Feel the storm [E] every night, hope it [A] passes by.
[E]
Hallucinate a [F#m] shady grove [D] where [E] Judas [A] went to die.
Unfurl the black [Bm] velvet altar cloth, [D] draw off white chalk [A] bath-o-mat.
Mistreat your altar [Bm] boys long [D] enough and [A] this is what you get.
Sad and angry, [Bm] can't learn how to behave.
[D]
Still won't know how [A] in the darkness [E] of the grave.
[A] Long black night, [C#m] morning frost.
I [F#m] am still here, but [D] all is lost.
[A]
