Quito
by The Mountain Goats
tabbed by Jonathan Bliss
      and Andy Moskowitz

 B E B B
 When I receive the blessing I've got coming
 E F# B B
 I'm going to raise an ice-cold glass of water
 B E B
 And toast the living and the dead who've gone before me
 E B F# B
 And my head will throb like an old wound reopening

 B E B B
 When I get off the bus down there my children
 E F# B B
 They all are going to greet me at the station
 B E
 Like gypsies they will dance around me
 B E                                           B F# B
 And the choral droning sound their voices make will saturate the evening

 B E B B
 When I get off the wheel I'm going to stop
 E F# B B
 And make amends to everyone I've wounded
 B E
 And when I wave my magic wand
 B E                                                               B F# B
 Those few who've slipped the surly bonds will rise like salmon at the spawning
