Mountain Goats - Ive Got The sxx

intro :
Am C E E7 Am

crushing strawberries one by one
Am C
watching the juice drip down
E E7 Am
two and a half months ahead of schedule
Am C
the leaves on the trees are turning brown
E E7 Am
we got ready for winter , as the sun rose up in the sky
Dm Am E Am
there was something almost soothing in the hard to define
Dm Am E
note of terror in your eye
Am

Am C E E7 Am

watching the strawberries lose their shape
Am C
as the wind blew threw the elm tree
E E7 Am
the wind was far too cold for the middle of april
Am C
and you reached out your hand to me
E E7 Am
it was good to feel your hand in mine
Dm Am
it was good to know you felt the pull too
E Am
i scooped up a palmfull of strawberry pulp
Dm Am
and smeared it all over you
E Am

the wild strawberries drove me on , as i lapped them up off of your skin
Dm Am E Am
and i could feel your basal body temperature rise as the cold came in
Dm Am E Am
hey hey
