Mountain Goats - Nine Black Poppies

i found this on the mountain goats forums and figured i’d cross – post it here since
it wasn’t up . everything below my signature is the work of the guy below .
~jackson

i typed up a cleaner/more complete version and thought i’d share it . i got
everything from the first tab , except i think the Bm is A B .
( and by the video on youtube ( www . youtube . com/watch?v = 8ajuj82ynjq ) , i think the
first chord is slightly off , but it sounds alright to me . )

[ riff ]
when i got home i meant to give you some sweet chrysanthemum
[ riff ]
the wind chimes were ringing all wrong and you were standing in the doorway singing along

C D Em Am
and i tried to remember how nice it had been a long long time ago
Em B Em
but i couldn’t remember i honestly could not remember
Aadd9 Badd11 Em Am
and a package came for you today from the hunan province
C D Em Am
the postmark burning jetblack in the summer sun
C D Em Am
someone was changing someone was changing from the inside out
Em B Em
and i turned around to face you

[ riff ]
sweet peas in the garden , all in full bloom
[ riff ]
and i thought i heard the traces of an old song murmuring in the room

C D Em Am
like a half – remembered conversation , i let it slip away
Em B Em
but i couldn’t remember i honestly could not remember
Aadd9 Badd11 Em Am
and a package came for you today from the hunan province
C D Em Am
the postmark burning jetblack in the summer sun
C D Em Am
someone was changing someone was changing from the inside out
Em B Em
and i turned around to face you
