Cotton The Mountain Goats
Intro: C - Gm - Dm - F
Verse 1:
[C] This song is for the rats
[Gm] Who hurled themselves into the ocean
When they [Dm]saw that the explosives in the [F]cargo hold
Were [C]just about to blow
Verse 2:
This song is for the soil
That's toxic clear down to the bedrock
Where no thing of consequence can grow
Drop your seeds there, let them go
Refrain:
Am* C F Am
Let them all go
Let 'em all [C]go[F] [Am]
Verse 3:
This song is for the people
Who tell their families that they're sorry
For things they can't and won't feel sorry for
And once there was a desk
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons
I left in the top drawer
Interlude: C - F - Dm
Refrain:
Let 'em all go
Let 'em all go
Verse 4:
I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving
And something has got to give
Verse 5:
I saw you waiting by the roadside
You didn't know that I was watching
Now you know
Let it all go
Refrain:
Let 'em all go
Let it all go
Am*:
