This is a great song with a very fun rhythm. Its in standard tuning. Long live the mountain goats. Intro: A G D A (listen to the song to get the rhythm down) A G I've got you D A You've got whatever's left of me to get A G Our conversations are like minefields D A No one's found a safe way through one yet A G I spend a lot of money D A I buy you white gold A G We raise up a little roof D E Against the cold A D On Southwood Plantation Road A D Where at night the stars blow like milk across the sky A E Where the high wires drop A DDm Where the fat crows fly AGDA (rest of song follows same pattern as above) All night long you giggle and scream Your brown eyes deeper than a dream I am not gonna lose you We are gonna stay married In this house like a Louisiana graveyard Where nothing stays buried On Southwood Plantation Road Where the dead will walk again Put on their Sunday best And go with unsuspecting Christian men La la la la la
