No Children chords by The Mountain Goats

Chords with lyrics

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 MajorD                      A augmentedA              G+G
    D MajorD
I hope that our few remaining friends give up.....

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

D MajorD                                  A augmentedA    G+G
              A augmentedA
I hope the fences we mended fall .......

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

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

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

G+G
again


Chorus

A augmentedA
 in my life

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

                       D MajorD
And I hope you die

                  A augmentedA
I hope we both die

Repeat Verse

Repeat Chorus

simple as pie
