Mountain Goats - San Bernardino

hang around the 8th fret F , with A C shape

at times it transitions into what would be like changing from A C to an F/C open . it
goes back and forth . you don’t have to play the B string really if you can’t handle the
pinky action for hammering on the A# .

E – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – 6 – – – 6 – – – |
G – – 5 – – – 5 – – – |
D – – 7 – – – 8 – – – |
A – – 8 – – – 8 – – – |
E – – – – – – – – – – |
F F/A#

A# riff that aligns better with recording instead of just playing A A# :
D – – 5 – – – – – – – – |
A – – – – – 5 – – 8 – – |
E – – 6 – – 6 – – 6 – – |

>for an easy version with capo at fret 5 :
> F = C
> F/A# = Csus4
> A# = F
> G/C = G
> C = G

F F/A# F
we got in your car and we hit the highway
F F/A# F
eastern sun was rising over the mountains
A#
yellow and blood red bits
F F/A# F
like a kaleidoscope

and flaming swords may guard the garden of eden
but we consulted maps from earlier days
dead languages on our tongues
holding on to our last hope

G/C ( just play A C on 3rd fret barred with the bar covering the 3rd fret 6th
string G as well )
and the day was bright and fine
A# C F
A# C
and the highway sign said , san bernadino welcomes you

i checked us into our motel and filled the bathtub
and you got in the warm warm water
i pulled petals from my pocket
i loved you so much just then

and it was hard but you were brave , you are splendid
and we will never be alone in this world
no matter what they say
were gonna be okay

we were safe inside
and our new son cried , san bernadino welcomes you
