Oceanographers Choice Chords & Tabs
Oceanographers Choice Chords
Most of the credit for this goes to lostpanda, who posted Version 1, and poisonpancake,
who transposed the chords for use with a capo. I am merely re-writing these for
everyone's ease of use.

***** CAPO 3 *****
Em
Well, guy in a skeleton costume
G C
Comes up to the guy in the Superman suit
Em
Runs through him with a broadsword
I flipped the television off
G C
Bring all the bright lights up
Em
Turn the radio up loud
A
I don't know why I'm so persuaded
D
That if I think things through
C
Long enough and hard enough
B
I'll somehow get to you
Em
But then you came in and we locked eyes
A
You kicked the ashtray over as we came toward each other
C
Stubbed my cigarette out against the west wall
B
And quickly lit another
Em
Look at that
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mountain_goats/oceanographers_choice_crd_ver_2.html ]
Would you look at that?
A
We're throwing off sparks
Em D A Em
What will I do when I don't have you
B Em
To hold onto in the dark?
Em
Yes, everybody's gonna need a witness
G C
Everybody's gonna need a little back up
Em
In case the scene gets nasty
You throw the attic window open
G C
And I throw myself all around you
Em
And night comes to Tallahassee
C F
I don't know why it's gotten harder to keep myself away
C
Thought I'd finally beat the feeling back
B
It all came back today
Em
And then we fell down and we locked arms
A
We knocked the dresser over as we rolled across the floor
C
I don't mean it when I tell you
B
That I don't love you anymore
Em
Look at that
Would you look at that?
A
The way the ceiling starts to swerve
Em D A Em
What will I do when I don't have you
B
When I finally get what I deserve?
Em till the end (bass changes chords, but I think the guitar part plays just the one chord).
