Mountain Goats - Golden Boy

D Em7
you must try to lead a good life
G A7
you must do unto others
D
as you would have them do

so that when you die
Em7
you’ll find golden boy peanuts
G A7 D
waiting in the afterlife for you

there are no pan – asian supermarkets
Em7
down in hell
G A7 D
so you can’t buy golden boy peanuts

there are no pan – asian supermarkets
Em7
down in hell
G A7 D
so you can’t buy golden boy peanuts

( same as verse above )

if thine enemy oppresses you
you must
let him oppress you some more
so that when you go shopping in paradise
you’ll find those magnificent peanuts
from singapore

G
with the drawing of the
D
young chinese farmer
Em7
eastern sun behind him
D
smiling at you from the shelves
Em7
if we want to spend eternity in happiness
G A7 D
we are going to have to watch ourselves
Em7
you must give to the march of dimes
G A7
you must be on guard against wickedness
D
at all times and you will find that your efforts
Em7
have brought you great joy when your
G A7 D
spirit is munching on that golden boy

there are no pan – asian supermarkets
down in hell
so you can’t buy golden boy peanuts there
but the streets of heaven are lined with shells
and there’s billboards of the golden boy everywhere

there are no pan – asian supermarkets
down in hell
so you can’t buy golden boy peanuts
there are no pan – asian supermarkets
down in hell
so you can’t buy golden boy peanuts
