Mountain Goats - High Hawk Season

it’s kindof hard to tell if he’s doing fancier chords than what i’m hearing
because of the voices constantly over top of the guitar . but this is what i
play when i’m singing it so hopefully it’s at least a start .

1 , 2 , 3 and

C G Am x2
( do do do do do do . . . etc )

C G Am
i heard the wings beat on the wind tonight
C G Am
as the heat stole power from the darkening light .
F G C F
i saw the streets fill up with people that i knew ,
F G
people who looked like you .

Am F Am
rise if you’re sleeping , stay awake
Am F Am
we are young supernovas and the heat’s about to break

C G Am
drift through the streets , walk between the cars
C G Am
newborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant stars
F G C F
the summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are true
F G
and to the faithless few

Am F Am
rise if you’re sleeping , stay awake
Am F Am
we are young supernovas and the heat’s about to break

F G Em F
who will rise and who will sink?
F G F
who’s going to stand his ground and who’s going to blink?
Am F Am
surge forward from van cortlandt park . . . like frightened sheep
C G Am
spirit throngs that hoist us high , three thousand warriors deep
F G C F
spray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stick
F G
try to time the rhythm , listen for the click

Am F Am
rise if you’re sleeping , stay awake
Am F Am ( n . C . )
we are young supernovas and the heat’s about to break

C G Am Am
