This is a favorite, I'm glad I can contribute it for the benefit of others because
it's been a simple but satisfying song to play. There are a couple recordings of this
song and Jeff Mangum sings different lyrics for some of the lines but the chords are
the same.
G-A-C
It's the same three chords repeated throughout, he holds the C chord in a couple places.
G A C G
For I am an engine and I'm rolling on
A C G
the world is all bending and breaking from me
(or:through endless revision to say what I mean)
A C G
for sweetness alone who flew out through the window
A C G
and landed back home in a garden of green
A C G
A C G
you're riding alone in the back of a steamer
A C G
and steaming yourself in the warm shower spray
A C G
and water rolls on off the round captains belly
A C G
who's talking to tigers from his cafeteria tray
A C G
A C G
and your sweet babies cry for the cool taste of milking
A C G
that milky delight that invited us all
A C G
and if there's a taste in this life more inviting
A C G
than wake up your windows and watch as those sweet babies crawl
A C G A C G
awaaay yeah mmm mmm mmm dee dee dee dee dee dee dee dee
A C G
A C G
