Mountain Goats - Passaic 1975 Chords

[verse 1]

D                                  C
 Write something down in illegible script
E                                  Am
 As we're approaching the landing strip
Dm                          Am
 New Gibson SG, inlaid with pearl
F  G      A
 Tonight Passaic
F  G          A
 tomorrow the world

D                              C
 In a Holiday Inn by a nameless river
E                                    Am
 Renew the assault on my lungs and my liver
Dm                                    Am
 And while I'm waiting for the company man
F G        A
Slip on my kimono
F G              A
that I bought in Japan

[Chorus]

A                        D
Tell the crowd, tell the world
A                      D
I want everyone to get high
A                        D
Tell the press, tell the cameras
A                      D
I want everyone to get high

G A

[Verse 2]

D                                              C
 And the tech crew in Memphis has a present for me
E                     
 A screen that scrolls lyrics
Am                         
 Like the ones they have on TV
Dm                            Am
 The deluxe model, one of only four thousand made
F  G           A
 Black out that night
F G                      A
 in front of ten thousand paid

G                              F
In the back lounge, in between stops
E                                     Am
Contingency plans in case the new one flops
G#                              G
Sometimes I wake up coughing up blood
F  G    A
Tonight IndianapoliS
F  G         A
tomorrow the flood

[Chorus]

A                       D
Tell the person next to you
A                      D
I want everyone to get high
A                         D
Tell your boss, tell your mother
A                      D
I want everyone to get high
G
Get high

[Outro]
