Night Light, by The Mountain Goats, from the album Transcendental Youth. Not too sure about the A/B chords in the instrumental parts, but it's the best I can get from the key (Dmaj/Bmin) and the one live video of John Darnielle performing this that I found. ------------------- Standard tuning, no capo. Bm - x24432 Em - 022000 A - x02220 G - 320033 D - x00232 A/B - x2222x (can be played as an A because it's easier, but I think A/B is technically correct).

^BmPull my mask so tight ^Em Till it pinches my skin. ^G Nerves strung so ^Bmhigh: ^G I am a mandolin.^A

^Bm Jenny calls from Montana, ^G She's only passing through. ^D Probably never see her again, in this life, I guess, ^A Not sure what I'm gonna do.

Plug a ^Gnight light in; Leave the ^Bmporch light on. Because the ^Gsmall dark corners Have des^Bmigns on me. Live like an o^Autlaw, Clutching gold ^Gcoins in his claw.

Bm A/B G Bm

^BmRoom full of ambitious young policemen, ^EmEverybody trying to make his mark. I was a ^Gred dot blinking on the ^Dscreen up overhead; ^G And then the room went d^Aark.

^BmDream of maybe waking up someday And ^Gwanting you less than I do. ^D This is a dream, though: ^A It's never gonna come true.

Plug a ^Gnight light in; Leave the ^Bmporch light on. Because the ^Gsmall dark corners Are establishing a ^Bmcolony. Live like an ^Aoutlaw, Clutching gold ^Gcoins in his claw.

Bm A/B G Bm A/B G G

^Bm Can't ever set aside the sweetness Of the ^Emdays before the crews put up the border. ^G Fields full of ^Bmwet rain ^G Cling tight to their memory forever^A.

^BmThink about Montana when I close my eyes; ^G Possibly Jenny's headed east. ^D Count a couple of stray hopes out loud; ^A May their numbers one day be increased.

Plug a ^Gnight light in; Leave the ^Bmporch light on. Because the ^Gsmall dark corners Breathe like heavy ^Bmanimals. Live like an o^Autlaw, Clutching gold ^Gcoins in his claw.

Bm A/B until end. End on Bm.
