Mountain Goats - Jaipur

jaipur – the mountain goats

intro – [ E E D Dsus4 ] x4

E D Dsus4
i was having visions of sugar pastry

E D Dsus4
cooked up in clarified butter

E D Dsus4
i tried to turn my visions into prayers

E D Dsus4
but i built my castle way high up in the air

E D
yeah i came to the gates of the fabled pink city

Am7
hungry , and tired , and cold

E D
swing low sweet chariot

Am7 G D
chrome tail pipe shining bright as spun gold

[ E E D Dsus4 ] x4

E D Dsus4
my brothers picked me up out of the rushes

E D Dsus4
handed me into the company of evil men

E D Dsus4
but i’ve inched my way down the eastern seaboard

E D Dsus4
i Am coming to atlanta again

E D
yeah i came to the gates of the fabled pink city

Am7
hungry , and tired , and mad as all hell

E D
swing low sweet jewel – encrusted chariot

Am7 G D
make me young again make me well

[ E E D Dsus4 ] x4

E D Dsus4
i Am the killer dressed in pilgrim’s clothing .

E D Dsus4
i’m the hard to find stations on the Am band .

E D Dsus4
i Am the white sky high over tripoli

E D Dsus4
i Am the land mine hidden in the sand .

E D
yeah i came to the gates of the fabled pink city

Am7
hungry , and tired , and alone

E D
swing low sweet sweet sweet chariot

G D
coming forth to carry me home

[ E E D Dsus4 ] x4

notes :

* Dsus4 is this version :

| | – x – | |
| | – 3 – | |
| | – 0 – | |
| | – 0 – | |
| | – 0 – | |
| | – x – | |

* he sometimes goes back and forth between D and Dsus4 more than just once

* he’s probably doing something up on the high E string during the D and Dsus4
chords but i couldnt tell for sure

* during the verses when he plays E it goes like this :

| | – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – | |
| | – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – | |
| | – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – – – 1 – 1 – – – | |
| | – 2 – 2 – 2 – 2 – – – 2 – 2 – – – | |
| | – 2 – 2 – 0 – 2 – – – 2 – 2 – – – | |
| | – 0 – 0 – 0 – 0 – – – 0 – 0 – – – | |

* there’s no Am7 part on the last chorus it just goes straight to the G and D .
it’s a little tricky but if you listen to the song you can figure it out .
