    Mountain Goats

OK I looked around the internets for a tab but for w/e reason there doesn't seem to be 
 Well I found one and it was most assuredly wrong because it didn't have that D minorish 
chord anywhere in it.  I don't really know what it is I suck at theory and don't even try.

where i put the chords just listen for how many times he strums it.  like the first 
listed is a C just listen for the rhythm.

k i played it a few times and it sounds right but i make no guarantees.  :P


   G                        C                           G          (repeats)

    G               C            (It's just those 2 chords repeating)

(About 30 seconds in is the only other change in the song and it's that D minorish 
chord.)


...and I knew I living in a long lost (or long long) dream...
                     ...when you fed me the black ice cream...


     Dm7#?!             C               G

Ta da!  That's it.

I love this song.  It's so simple and perfect and it's a great song to learn and sing to.
