Capo: 2

From 'The Sunset Tree' by the Mountain Goats. Capo 2 - There are 2 chords in the original song that are fairly difficult to transition to so I transposed the song to make it easier for beginners. All chords are capo relative. Cadd9 = E--3 A--3 D--5 G--5 B--3 e--3 VERSE:

I br^Goke free on a Saturday ^Dmorning I put the ^Cpedal to the ^Gfloor Head^Ged north on Mills A^Dvenue And listened ^Cto the engine ^Groar

G Bm Cadd9 G G D C G

My ^Gbroken house behind me and ^Dgood things ahead A girl named ^CCathy wants a little of my ^Gtime Six ^Gcylinders underneath the ^Dhood crashing and kicking ^CAhah, listen to the engine^G whine

CHORUS:

I am going to ^Gmake it through this ^Dyear If it ^Ckills me ^G I am going to ^Gmake it through this ^Dyear If it ^Ckills me ^G

G Bm Cadd9 G G D C G VERSE:

I played ^Gvideo games in a ^Ddrunken haze I was ^C17 years ^Gyoung Hurt my ^Gknuckles punching the ma^Dchines The taste of ^Cscotch rich on my ^Gtongue

G Bm Cadd9 G G D C G

And then ^GCathy showed up and we ^Dhung out Trading ^Cswigs from a bottle, all ^Gbitter and clean Locking ^Geyes, holding ^Dhands Twin high ^Cmaintenance ma^Gchines

CHORUS:

I am going to ^Gmake it through this ^Dyear If it ^Ckills me ^G I am going to ^Gmake it through this ^Dyear If it ^Ckills me ^G

BRIDGE:

^Em I drove home in the California ^Gdusk ^Em I could feel the alcohol in^Gside of me hum Pictured the ^Emlook on my stepfather's ^Gface ^CReady for the bad things to ^Dcome

VERSE:

I down-^Gshifted as I pulled into the ^Ddriveway The ^Cmotor screaming out, stuck in ^Gsecond gear The scene ends ^Gbadly, as you might im^Dagine In a ^Ccavalcade of anger and ^Gfear There will be ^Gfeasting and ^Ddancing in ^CJerusalem next ^Dyear

CHORUS:

I am going to ^Gmake it through this ^Dyear If it ^Ckills me ^G I am going to ^Gmake it through this ^Dyear If it ^Ckills me ^G

G Bm Cadd9 G G D C G
