The Mountain Goats-Damn These Vampires chords
Start Jamming...
[A]
Brave [G] young cowboys of the [F#m] near north side, [D] mount those bridge rails, [A] ride all night,
scream when [G] captured, arch [F#m] your back, let [A] this whole [E] town hear [D] your knuckles crack.
[A]
[G] Sapphire trans am, [F#m] high beams in vain, [D] drive while broncos down [A] the plain.
Push up to [G] the corner where the [F#m] turbines hiss, [A] someday [E] we [D] won't remember this.
[A] Crawl along on my hands and [D] knees, god [A] damn these vampires for [E]
what they've done to [D] me.
[A]
Tie [G] those horses to the [F#m] post outside, and let [D] those glass doors [A] open wide,
and [G] in their surface see two young [F#m] savage things, [A] [E] barely [D] worth remembering.
[A]
[G] Feast like pagans, [F#m] never get enough, sleep like [D] dead men, [A] wake up like dead men.
[G] And when the sun comes, try not to hate [F#m] the light, [A] someday [E] we'll try [D] to walk upright.
[A] Crawl along on my hands [D] and knees,
[A] god damn these bite marks [E]
deep [D] in my arteries.
[A] Crawl along on [D]
my [A] hands [D] and knees, [A] god damn these vampires [E] for what they've [D] done to me.
