Pink and Blue Lyrics

The Mountain Goats is essentially one man, John Darnielle, and his acoustic guitar. He's
put tonnes of albums on 7", 10", 12", CD's and cassettes... yet still remains relatively
obscure. Check him out. Head to www.themountaingoats.net (his website. warning: super bad
navigation on the site.)
This is my tab for "Pink and Blue" off of the "All Hail West Texas" album. I'm very
confident about the accuracy.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern. It's very simple.
Intro: E D A B X2
Wind out of Oklahoma this morning
Smelled like blood an smoke
And the crows discuss their future in the
branches of their Louisiana Live Oak
The limbs are strong and heavy and its
Leaves are all aglow
And the branches brush the upper air
But the roots reach down to were the bad people go
And what will I do with you, pink and blue?
True gold.
Nine days old.
Nice new clothes on you
And an old cardboard produce box for a cradle
I mashed some bananas in a coffee cup
And I fed you there at the kitchen table
Crows outside complaining about the
Finer points of local politics
Strange wind all full of new smells
Rust and fur and reception sticks
And what will I do with you, pink and blue?
True gold.
Nine days old.
