Mountain Goats - Onions

short and sweet song . real easy to play . he’s tuned a bit off in the recording so
it’s hard to play along with .

E
the last white slabs of snow
A
melted off seven weeks ago .
E
and the geese are headed north again
A
through the tightening sky ,
E B
and i can feel my heart in my throat again
E A
new onions growing in the ground .

E
the cows come gingerly out of the barn ,
A
and when they see that the ground is warm ,
E
they pick up a little speed , it makes me feel so good ,
A
and i feel it rushing down my throat – – fresh blood ,
E B
i head out onto the earth , its cold heart is melting ,
E A
i don’t know if i can stand it .
E B
springtime’s coming , that means you’ll be coming back around .
E A
new onions growing underground , underground .
