+This is one of the more aurally complex Mountain Goats songs.
+I'm pretty sure about the verse and chorus chords, but when the strings swell
+during the bridge it's a little hard to tell what's going on underneath, so those
+chords are basically just a guess. Also, I recommend playing the F/G chord
+with your thumb on the third fret of the E string, like so:
-Outer Scorpion Squadron
+   F/G
+e-------|
+B---1---|
+G---2---|
+D---3---|
+A-------|
+E---3---|
-if you really want to conjure up a ghost
-cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most
-rake the sands until they surface
-bind their tiny eyes
-stake out your position
+Verse
-let your armor fall
-stay put til they find you
-it won't take long at all
-rake the sands until they surface
+Abmaj7     C              F/G
-up they come gone translucent
+    If you really want to conjure up a ghost
-they're coming up no matter what
+     Am7         C             Am                   Gsus4   G
-fools rush in and the doors slam shut
+    Cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most
-ghosts of my childhood
+Chorus
-stay with me if you will
-find the place where there's water
-hold you under til you're still
-rake the sands until they surface
+Am           C                F
-don't let anybody call them ugly
+    Rake the sands until they surface
+Em  C	                  F
+    Bind their tiny eyes
+Verse
+Stake out your position, let your armor fall
+Stay put til they find you, it won't take long at all
+Chorus
+Rake the sands until they surface

+Bridge
+C	 	Am	 F

+Verse
+Ghosts of my childhood stay with me, if you will
+Find a place where there's water, hold you under til you're still
+Chorus
+Rake the sands until they surface
+Don't let anybody call them ugly
+Outro (roughly)
+    C                F
+e---0----------0---------------0--3-----|
+B----------1-----3---1-----1------------|

+Repeat a few times, end on C.
+Enjoy!
