+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:
+   F/G
+e-------|
+B---1---|
+G---2---|
+D---3---|
+A-------|
+E---3---|
+Verse
+Abmaj7     C              F/G
+    If you really want to conjure up a ghost
+     Am7         C             Am                   Gsus4   G
+    Cultivate a space for the things that hurt you most
+Chorus
+Am           C                F
+    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
+Up they come, gone translucent
+Bridge
+C	 	Am	 F
+They're coming up no matter what
+C     G               C     G    F
+Fools rush in and the doors slam shut
+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------------|
+G--------0---------------2--------------|
+D------2---------------3-----3--3---3---|
+A---3--------3-----3--------------------|
+E--------------------1------------------|
+Repeat a few times, end on C.
+Enjoy!
