Raid On Entebbe Chords & Lyrics - Mountain Goats

[Eb] [Ab] [Db] [Gb] [Bb] [Eb]

play the chords as you would if it was in standard tuning, first position.

[D] [Bb] [A] [G]
[D]on the shores of a lake named after a late queen of england
[Bb]i heard new rumors of war.
[A]the sun was a red ball up in the summer sky.
[G]i saw my sister standing in the doorway.
[D]she had that look on her face that reminded me of you.
[Bb]the reports were coming hourly and the sky was blue.
[A]they were shifting the power again.
[G]they always do this when i come home.

[D] [Bb] [A] [G]

[D]i tucked my shirt in, though i don't know why.
[Bb]shielded my eyes from the light up in the sky
[A]'cause it was shining, blazing, like a highway flare
[G]in the incredibly impossibly dry air
[D]i heard my mother call my sister to the kitchen again
[Bb]and thought that everything was headed straight down the drain
[A]they positioned themselves in strategic locations
[G]i was beginning to lose my patience.
[D]if you'll just put your hand in mine, [G]
[D]we're gonna leave all our troubles behi[A]nd.

[D] [Bb] [A] [G]
