Mountain Goats - You or your memory

I checked into a b^Eargain priced room on la sie^C#mnaga, ^F#mgazed out through the curtains of the p^Aarking lo^Et. walked down to the corner store just before ^C#mnightfall in my bare feet. ^F#m black tarry asphalt^A, soft and h^Eot. and when I c^Aame back I spread out my suppl^Eies. on the c^Dounter by the sink, I looked mys^Belf right in the eyes st. joseph's baby a^Espirin,^A bartles and j^Bames, and y^Eou or your m^Aemory.^{B E}

I ducked behind the d^Erapes when I saw the moon be^C#mgin to rise, ^F#mgathered in my loose ends^A switched off the ligh^Et. and down there in the dark I can see the real tr^C#muth about me. as^F#m clear as day,^A lord if I make it through ton^Eight then I will ^Amend my ^Eways and w^Dalk the straight path to the ^Bend of my days. st. joseph's baby a^Espirin, ^A bartles and j^Bames, E A B E A B E A B E A B E A B E. and you or your memory.
