Mountain Goats - Going To Maine

going to maine
by john darnielle of the mountain goats

darnielle bars the chords as you can hear with the bassline pickup note
in the recording , but i’m a wuss so i just capo the 4th fret and drop
the pickup note : D
listen to the song for strumming pattern .
these chords are with no capo , but are played at the 4th & 6th frets

G# C#
you and me are in a lot of trouble
G# D#
and somebody’s gonna burst our bubble
G# C#
your husband . my wife .
G# D#
my marriage . your life .

* chorus *
let’s go to maine out on the east coast
let’s go to maine right now
let’s beat the retreat
let’s hop on the plane
let’s get out of here
let’s go to maine

someone knows what’s going on
someone knows , and someone’s gonna tell
someone’s gonna wrap us up in styrofoam and paper
and mail us flat – rate right down to hell

* chorus x2 *

G# C# G# D#
G# C# G# ( E D# G# C# G# )
