Chords for The Mountain Goats - Sax Rohmer #1 (Official Video)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Fog lifts from the harbor, _
[E] dawn goes down to den,
[Am] An agent crests the shadows [F] of a nearby _ alleyway.
_ [C] Piles of broken bricks, _ [Em] _
signposts on the path,
_ [Am] Every moment points toward [F] the ash.
_ [C] Gah! _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [C] Sailors straggle back, [E] their knights out on the town,
_ [Am] _
Hopeless merchants from the city [F] _ gather round,
[C] Spies from Imperial China.
_ [E] Wash in with the tide, [A] every battle heads to war,
_ [F] Surrender on both sides, and [C] I am coming [Am] home to you, _ _
With [F] my own blood in [C] my [G] mouth, _ I [C] am _ coming home [Am] to you,
_ If it's the [F]
last [G] thing that [C] I do.

_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [C]
Bells ring in the tower, _ [E] wolves howl in the hills,
[G] [Am] Chalk marks show up on a few [F] high window sills,
[C] And a rabbit gives up somewhere, [E] and a dozen hawks descend,
[G] _ [Am]
Every moment leads toward [F] his home.
Sad end.
[C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C]
Ships lift from their moorings, _ [E] capsize and then they're gone,
[G] _ [Am] Sailors with no captains [F] barge a mile and then move on,
[C] And an agent crests the shadows, [E] and I head in her direction,
[A] All rods lead to war, [F] the same plot, the same deception,
I [C] am coming _ [Am] home to you, _ _ with [F] my own blood in [C] my mouth,
[G] _ _ [C] I am coming home _ [Am] to you, _ _ [F] if it's the last [G] thing that [C] I do.
