Mountain Goats - Lovecraft In Brooklyn Ukulele

[Intro]
  Bm   A Bm
A Bm   A Bm   A G   A Bm

[Verse]
A Bm
  It's gonna be too hot to breathe today
A Bm
 But everybody is out here on the streets
A G
 Somebody's opened up the fire hydrant
A Bm
  Cold water rushing out in sheets

A Bm
  Some kid in a Marcus Allen jersey
A Bm
   Asks me for a cigarette
A G
   Companionship is where you find it
A Bm
   So I take what I can get

[Chorus]
A D                                A
 Hubcaps on the car like fun house mirrors
G
 Stick to the shadows when I can
              Bm                 A Bm
Lovecraft in Brooklyn

[Verse]
A Bm
  When the sun goes down the armies of the voiceless
A Bm
  Several hundred-thousand strong
A G
  Come out without their bandages
A Bm
  Their voices raised in song

A Bm
  When the street lights sputter out
A Bm
  They make this awful sizzling sound
A G
  I cast my gaze towards the pavement
A Bm
  Too many blood stains on the ground

[Chorus]
A D                           A
  Rhode Island drops into the ocean
G
  No place to call home anymore
              Bm                 A Bm
Lovecraft in Brooklyn

[Bridge]
F#m                  D          D               A
  Head outside most everyday to try to keep the wolves away
F#m                  D
 Imagine nice things I might say
Asus4             F#m
  If company should come

Bm   A Bm   A Bm   A Bm

[Verse]
A Bm
   Woke up afraid of my own shadow
A Bm
   Like, genuinely afraid
A G
   Headed for the pawnshop
A Bm
   To buy myself a switchblade

A Bm
   Someday something's coming
A Bm
   From way out beyond the stars
A G
   To kill us while we stand here
A Bm
   It'll store our brains in mason jars

[Chorus]
D                             A
 And then the girl behind the counter
G
 She asks me how I feel today
                          Bm                 A Bm
I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn

Yeah!

F#m    A   Bm   A Bm
