Mountain Goats - Southwood Plantation Road

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....................G
Where the high wires drop

A...................D........Dm
Where the fat crows fly

All night long you giggle and scream
Your brown eyes deeper than a dream
I am not going to lose you
We are going to 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
