The Mountain Goats - You or Your Memory
The Sunset Tree
I'm not so sure about the D's, but whatever.

I checked into a bargain priced room on la sienaga,
F#mAE
gazed out through the curtains of the parking lot.
C#m
walked down to the corner store just before nightfall in my bare feet.
F#mAE
black tarry asphalt, soft and hot.

and when I came back I spread out my supplies.
D
on the counter by the sink,
B
I looked myself right in the eyes
EA
st. joseph's baby aspirin,
B
bartles and james,
EAE
and you or your memory.
EC#m
I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the moon begin to rise,
F#mAE
gathered in my loose ends switched off the light.
C#m
and down there in the dark I can see the real truth about me.
F#mAE
as clear as day, lord if I make it through tonight
AEDB
then I will mend my ways and walk the straight path to the end of my days.
EA
st. joseph's baby aspirin,
B
bartles and james,
E A B E A B E A B E A B E A B E.
and you or your memory.
