No Children chords by The Mountain Goats

Really great tune by the Mountain Goats called

No Children

I first heard this on one of the greatest jukeboxes in
America, in
Brooklyn, NY. It's a fun one, and I think it goes a
little something
like this.



Verse 1

  D
I hope that our few remaining friends give up.....

 D           A           G
  D
I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot to .......

D                 A  G
       A
I hope the fences we mended fall .......

 D            A      G
  A
And I hope we hang on past the last exit, I hope....

  D           A          G
   D
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
some....

  D            A           G
   A
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me......

G
again

Chorus

A
 in my life

     D      G
I hope I lie and tell everyone.....

            D
And I hope you die

         A
I hope we both die

Repeat Verse

Repeat Chorus
