Outer Scorpion Squadron Chords & Tabs
Outer Scorpion Squadron Chords
No one online had anything even close, so I thought I would contribute my version
(NOTE: The actual chords are complex variations of this, but this works nicely for
an acoustic guitar)
*Timing for the chord
changes are occasionally a bit off, listen to the song, they're easy enough to figure out*
C Am F
If you really want to conjure up a ghost
C Am F G
Cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most
Am C F
Rake the sands until they surface
Em C F
Bind their tiny eyes
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mountain_goats/outer_scorpion_squadron_crd.html ]
C Am F
Stake out your position, let your armor fall
C Am F G
Stay put til they find you, it won't take long at all
Am C F
Rake the sands until they surface
Em C F
Up they come, gone translucent
C Am F
They're coming up no matter what
Am Em C G F
Fools rush in and the doors slam shut
C Am F
Ghosts of my childhood stay with me, if you will
C Am F G
Find a place where there's water, hold you under til you're still
Am C F
Rake the sands until they surface
Em C F
Don't let anybody call them ugly
Alternate C and F for outro, end on C
Thats it! Beautiful song, enjoy playing it.
