Night Light, by The Mountain Goats, from the album Transcendental Youth.
Not too sure about the A/B chords in the instrumental parts, but it's the best I can get
from the key (Dmaj/Bmin) and the one live video of John Darnielle performing this that
I found.
-------------------
Standard tuning, no capo.
Bm - x24432
Em - 022000
A - x02220
G - 320033
D - x00232
A/B - x2222x (can be played as an A because it's easier, but I think A/B is technically correct).
Bm
Pull my mask so tight
Em
Till it pinches my skin.
GBm
Nerves strung so high:
GA
I Am A mandolin.
Bm
Jenny calls from Montana,
G
She's only passing through.
D
Probably never see her again, in this life, I guess,
A
Not sure what I'm gonna do.
G
Plug a night light in;
Bm
Leave the porch light on.
G
Because the small dark corners
Bm
Have designs on me.
A
Live like an outlaw,
G
Clutching gold coins in his claw.
BAGBmBm
Room full of ambitious young policemen,
Em
Everybody trying to make his mark.
GD
I was a red dot blinking on the screen up overhead;
GA
And then the room went dark.
Bm
Dream of maybe waking up someday
G
And wanting you less than I do.
D
This is a dream, though:
A
It's never gonna come true.
G
Plug a night light in;
Bm
Leave the porch light on.
G
Because the small dark corners
Bm
Are establishing a colony.
A
Live like an outlaw,
G
Clutching gold coins in his claw.
BAGBAGGBm
Can't ever set aside the sweetness
Em
Of the days before the crews put up the border.
GBm
Fields full of wet rain
GA
Cling tight to their memory forever.
Bm
Think about Montana when I close my eyes;
G
Possibly Jenny's headed east.
D
Count a couple of stray hopes out loud;
A
May their numbers one day be increased.
G
Plug a night light in;
Bm
Leave the porch light on.
G
Because the small dark corners
Bm
Breathe like heavy animals.
A
Live like an outlaw,
G
Clutching gold coins in his claw.
Bm A/B until end. End on Bm.
