Tribe Of The Horned Heart Chords & Lyrics - Mountain Goats

[Bb]you knew that they were out there by the signs they'd left behin[G]d
[Eb]on old abandoned buildings just some xs and some lines
[Bb]half circles in the concrete c[G]rescents in the snow
[Eb]you could find the little beacons almost everywhere you'd go [Ebm]

only peo[Dm]ple who were sic[G]k enough knew ho[Cm]w to read them right [Eb]
[Bb]i got sick when I was se[F]venteen and I'd hun[Eb]t down signs all night

[Bb]you'd listen for the voices in the g[G]enerator's hum
[Eb]hang out behind the power plant and wait for them to come [Ebm]
[Bb]hints about their mission in the rus[G]tling of the surf
but no s[Eb]ecrets can be kept from you if your faith is strong enough [Ebm]

only peo[Dm]ple who've been [Gb]sick too long ca[Cbm]n hold on to the hope [Eb] [Ebm]
[Bb]but some friendly ghost is listening to the prayers they learned[F] to say at the[Eb] slack end of the[Bb] rope
