The Mountain Goats is the musical project of singer-songwriter and guitarist John Darnielle. The New Yorker magazine referred to him as &quot;America

De loin, la discographie des Mountain Goats est belle comme un train dans une ville pourrie : imposante, attirante, porteuse d'espoir mais difficile à attraper en marche. John Darnielle (monsieur Mountain Goats) est de ces artistes dont on vous dit le plus grand bien mais dont l'

Hinter dem Pseudonym The Mountain Goats (in Anlehnung an den Song &quot;Yellow Coat&quot; von Screamin' Jay Hawkins) verbirgt sich das Projekt des überaus produktiven amerikanischen Singer/Songwriters John Darnielle. 1991 begann Darnielle mit seinen Aufnahmen und wurde durch seine hoch literarischen Texte und seinen Lo-Fi-Recording-Stil (den er zumindest bis 2002* praktizierte) bekannt und geschätzt.   *2002 wurden gleich zwei Mountain Goats Alben veröffentlicht: All Hail West Texas und Tallahassee.

The Mountain Goats (de inglés: Las Cabras de Montaña) son una banda Americana de Rock Alternativo e Indie Rock y Lo-Fi. Lo encarga John Darnielle, y mucha gente cree que él es el único miembro, pero Peter Hughes, el bajista, es otro integrante de la banda, también. Darnielle empezó a grabar la música en 1991 con el grabador de un boom box. Hasta 2002, con el lanzamiento del Álbum, que se llama All Hail West Texas, The Mountain Goats se consideran de Lo-Fi, pero actualmente todos los nuevos álbumes han sido grabado en un studio profesional.

the trees were all decked out in their best fall colors
A                      G
there was a snap in the air
D                      Em
when you eased down the window
        A                            G
and the new york sun brought out the highlights in your hair
     D       A
and gently, gently
D                 G
the constellations aligned
D                          A                        G
and as we crossed over the throgs neck bridge i had
          A             D 
something on my mind

when we rolled down the street
in the cool of the morning
i could feel the new day dawn
and somebody had gone and turned the waterworks on
and slowly, surely
i saw the whole story unwind
i had never loved anyone like i loved you
and i had something on my mind

Ghana

Intro: C - Gm - Dm - F


Verse 1:

C                              
   This song is for the rats

Gm
   Who hurled themselves into the ocean

          Dm                             F
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold

     C
Were just about to blow


Verse 2:

This song is for the soil
That's toxic clear down to the bedrock
Where no thing of consequence can grow
Drop your seeds there, let them go


Refrain:

             Am   C  F  Am
Let them all go

            C       F  Am
Let 'em all go


Verse 3:

This song is for the people
Who tell their families that they're sorry
For things they can't and won't feel sorry for

And once there was a desk
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons
I left in the top drawer


Interlude: C - F - Dm


Refrain:

Let 'em all go
Let 'em all go


Verse 4:

I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving
And something has got to give


Verse 5:

I saw you waiting by the roadside
You didn't know that I was watching
Now you know
Let it all go


Refrain:

Let 'em all go
Let it all go

My broken house behind me and good things ahead,

VERSE 2

I played video games in a drunken haze,
I was seventeen years young
Hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue

And then Cathy showed up and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean
locking eyes holding hands
twin high maintenance machines

CHORUS

BRIDGE
F#m                              A
I drove home in the California dusk,
F#m                                   A
I could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
F#m                                   A
Pictured the look on my stepfather's face,
D                           E
ready for the bad things to come.

VERSE 3
I down shifted as I pulled into the driveway,
the motor screaming out stuck in second gear
The scene ends badly as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear
There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year

This Year

F#m                                    A        E
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#m                      A                     E
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.

as clear as day, lord if I make it through tonight

Up The Wolves

The Sunset Tree

Intro: C

C                          Em
Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day
   Am                              F
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
C                       Em
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
Am                              F
Every moment points towards the aftermath
Yeah

Interlude: C, Dm, F X2

C                                Em
Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
Am                             F
Hopeless urchins from the city gather round
C                         Em
Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
      Am                  F
Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides

                 C              Am
Chorus: And I am coming home to you
        F               C  G
With my own blood in my mouth
         C         Am
And I am coming to you
            F          C      G
If it's the last thing that I do


C                        Em
Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
Am                                F
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
      C                                Em
And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend
Am                            F
Every moment leads toward its own sad end
Yeah

(Interlude)

C                                Em
Ships loosed from their mornings capsize and then they're gone
Am                             F
Sailors with no captains watch awhile and then move on
       C                              Em
And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
Am                        F
All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection

             C              Am
Chorus: I am coming home to you
        F               C   G
With my own blood in my mouth
         C         Am
And I am coming to you
            F          C      G
If it's the last thing that I do

Sax Rohmer 1

A
Well they come and pull me from my house
                                  D
And they drag my body through the streets
                                  E              D
And the sun's so hot I think I'll catch fire and burn up
                               A
in the summer air so moist and sweet

                               A
And the people all come out to cheer
                              D
Rocks in the pathway break my skin
                               E            D
And there's honeysuckle on the faint breeze today
                              A
With every breath I'm drawing in

          F#m                 D
I want to cry out but I don't scream and I don't shout
           A              D
And I feel so proud to be alive
           A  E                 D
And I feel so proud to when the reckoning arrives


                          A
Crowds grow denser by the second
                             D
As we near the center of the town
                                   E                 D
And they dig a trench right in the main square right there
                                 A
And they pick me up and throw me down

                            A
And I start laughing like a child
                              D
And I mark their faces one by one
                       E              D
Transfigurations gonna come for me at last
                                A
And I will burn hotter than the sun

         F#m                     D
I waited so long and now I taste jasmine on my tongue
           A              D
And I feel so proud to be alive
           A  E              D
And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives

# Verse 1
C            Cmaj7        Am           G
Hand me your hand let me look in your eyes 
C                         Cmaj7  Am           G
as my last chance to feel human begins to vaporize 
C              Cmaj7        Am             G
maybe it's the heat in here maybe it's the pressure

you ought to head for the exits the sooner the better

          C      Cmaj7    Am                G
I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam 
C             Cmaj7      Am                 G
And no in her right mind would make my home her home

When I try to open up to you I get completely lost
C                Cmaj7        Am                 G
Houses swallowed by the earth windows thick with frost
C                     Cmaj7      Am                     G
And I reach deep down within but the pathways twist and turn
F
And there's no light anywhere and nothing left to burn

C              Cmaj7               Am                    G
And no emotion that's worth having can call my heart its home

I dream't that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls
C                    Cmaj7         Am                 G
On a cliff above the ocean howling wind and shrieking seagulls
C                     Cmaj7       Am           G
And the dream went on forever one single static frame

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name

Bm                     D
This is just to say hello
                 A
And to let you know
                         Em
I think of you from time to time
Bm                          D
I know I never really knew you
                    A
But somehow I miss you
                                Em
And wish that you'd stayed in my life
G                      D
Making contact gets harder
                        A
As the silence grows longer
                 Bm
And isn't it only me
G                             D
Who'd like us to see each other?
                            A
How I would hate to be a bother
                              Bm
The way we left it was you'd ring

D      G          Bm
I'm under no illusion
D        G           Bm
As to what I meant to you

But you made an impression
D         G                    Bm
And sometimes I still feel the bruise

What I've misplaced but never lost

An ache I first felt long ago

Though you've appeared and disappeared

Throughout these past few years

I'd be surprised if you now showed

Making contact gets harder

As the silence grows longer

And why would you think of me
G                             D
When you were not the one in love?
                          A
When you were not the dreamer?

When you were just the dream?

Sometimes I Still Feel The Bruise

I got off work just past 11
C#m
Laid one finger to the breeze
A
You can almost taste the action
F#m                  B
On nights like these

E
Trees were bending in the wind
C#m
You were 40 miles away

And I was headed your direction
F#m                      B                      (E)
I'd been waiting all day, I'd been waiting all day

E Am B (x2)

E
Moon over West Covina
C#m
Was huge and white
    A
And I was like a patient on a table
F#m                  B
Headed for the light

E
Leaned toward the center divider
C#m
Feel the wind in my hair
A
Keep a light up in your window
F#m                      B                     (E)
I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right there

Down by the Chemistry building

I found a quiet place to park
       A
And I made my way down the street toward your place
F#m                         B
Stepping lightly in the dark

E
Climbed the steps up to your doorway
       C#m
Like a man prepared to jump beneath a train
          A
It's real warm outside tonight
F#m                     B                     (E)
Maybe tomorrow it rains, maybe tomorrow it rains

Inside your room we shut the window
C#m
And we turned on a fan
       A
And we lay there together in the darkness
F#m                            B
I can keep a secret if you can

Finishing one another's sentences

Your boyfriend's out of town until Tuesday

And nobody saw me come in, nobody saw me come in

A                         F#m      
From the housetops to the gutters
D                       E      D
From the oceans to the shores
    A                                      F#m
The warning signs have all been bright and garish
D                           E
Far to great in number to ignore

   
From the cities to the swamplands
From the highways to the hills
Our love has never had a leg to stand on
From the aspirins to the cross-tops to the Elevils

           D   E            A        D
But I will walk down to the end with you
            A                E         A
If you will come all the way down with me

From the entrance to the exit
Is longer than it looks from where we stand
I wanna say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet
Things will shortly get completely out of hand

I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
In the tips of my fingers in the skin on my face
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place

       D                  E
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell
         A                   F#m
Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell
       D   E            A        D
I will walk down to the end with you
            A                E         A
If you will come all the way down with me

Fall down beneath their own weight

I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here

Someday burns down

And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away

And I never come back to this town again

In my life I hope I lie

And tell everyone you were a good wife

You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning there is no sign of land

You're all coming down with me (yeah yeah) hand in unlovable hand

Alpha Rats Nest

       C              F               C                 F
On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
       C               G                 C
I felt free and I felt lonely and I felt scared
      C        F             Am                 F
And I began to talk to myself almost immediately
          C       G         F           G        C
Not being used to being the only person                                
    
    C                 F               C                       F
The first time I made coffee for just myself, I made too much of it
               C            G              F                C
But I drank it all just you hate it when I let things go to waste
      C                    F                   Am              F
And I wandered through the house like a little boy lost in the mall
       C                  G               F               G
And an astronaut could've seen the hunger in my eyes from space

And I sang
C             G             F             C
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
C         G          C
What do I do without you?

       C              F               C                 F
On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
      C                  G      F                    C
I was cold so I put on a sweater and I turned up the heat
        C              F              Am              F
And the walls began to close in and I felt so sad and frightened
              C            G               F        C
I practically ran from the living room out into the street
        C             F            C              F
And the wind began to blow and the trees began to pant
        C            G                       C
And the world in its cold way started coming alive
      C                  F           Am               F
And I stood there like a business man waiting for the train
      C         G                 C
And I got ready for the future to arrive

And I sang
C             G             F             C
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
C         G          C
What do I do without you?

The Life Of The World To Come

INTRO - A D A E A D A E

A                                D
a knocking sound it woke me up,
A                        E
but my legs were feeling weak.
A                              D
i stared up at the ceiling and i saw you at the window.
A                     E        A
but my mouth wouldn't let me speak.

A
i know you.
E                A                    D         A
you're the one i spent three seasons trying to pretend
E            A
that i never knew.

something pulled me off the bed.
and the same thing moved the muscles in my legs.
i moved towards you voice, and my body got so light,
i could've walked on eggs right then and not broken a one of them.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
