Tribe Of The Horned Heart by The Mountain Goats

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

        Dm              G               Cm                      Eb      
only people who were sick enough knew how to read them right
Bb                      F                  Eb
i got sick when I was seventeen and I'd hunt down signs all night

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

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