Sax Rohmer 1 Chords & Tabs
Intro: C
C Em
Fog lifts from the harbor, dawn goes down to day
Am F
An agent crests the shadows of the nearby alleyway
C Em
Piles of broken bricks, sign posts on the path
Am F
Every moment points towards the aftermath
Yeah
Interlude: C, Dm, F X2
C Em
Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town
Am F
Hopeless urchins from the city gather round
C Em
Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide
Am F
Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides
C Am
Chorus: And I am coming home to you
F C G
With my own blood in my mouth
C Am
And I am coming to you
F C G
If it’s the last thing that I do
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mountain_goats/sax_rohmer_1_crd.html ]
C Em
Bells ring in the tower, wolves howl in the hills
Am F
Chalk marks show up on a few high windowsills
C Em
And a rabbit gives up somewhere, and a dozen hawks descend
Am F
Every moment leads toward its own sad end
Yeah
(Interlude)
C Em
Ships loosed from their mornings capsize and then they’re gone
Am F
Sailors with no captains watch awhile and then move on
C Em
And an agent crests the shadows and I head in her direction
Am F
All roads lead toward the same blocked intersection
C Am
Chorus: I am coming home to you
F C G
With my own blood in my mouth
C Am
And I am coming to you
F C G
If it’s the last thing that I do
( Do the interlude 3 or 4 times and end on C )
Notes:
-When playing Em only play the top three strings like a power chord
-Number of times interlude will vary throughout the song but is still all the same
{C, Dm, F}
