Frontier Ruckus: Springterror; Deadmalls and Nightfalls
Capo 2/Key of G without capo/Key of A with capo
Listen to the song to follow where the hammer ons and little walk downs are used.
Matthew sometimes plays the D chord with the root on the 5th fret A string in a C shape.
Intro: Strum the G chord hammer on the G note a few times.
[G]Look at all the steam off the snow
We listen to the Top 40[Em] country radio b[C]low[Am]
[G]Listen to the singer
Trying to put my finger on[Em] who killed w[C]ho
[G]When it does linger
The sweet nostril-stinger of the[Em] springs mil[C]dew
[G]Was it your will to take his pill orall[Em]y?
[C]Or did you act [Am]perfunctorily?
[G]The lamp-shadow dampness
The safe world of campus
The water of your high school [Em]eyes
[C]Some stadium
[Am]Some old college tries
[G]There in my stomach the liquor heated
With every place I ever trick-or-treated and
[Em]We used to message through the ink of night
[C]With skin still young and [Am]pink and tight
[D]Back when the tongue thrust with [Em]all of our young lust
The di[Am]mple-chin brunettes who [Bm]make simpleton pets of [C]me[Am]
[G]And yes, Im a heel
But wit[G7]h Peters keel
I will cu[Em]t through the lily-p[C]ads
[Am]The moping mothers and [D]hillbilly dads
And the [Em]billboard dentist from White [G]Lake to East Lansing
With his[Am] day-glo halo [D]sentence entrancing
[G]The moon makes lake-water out to [Em]be a filmy skin
But wh[C]o can begin to [Am]tell what skin holds [Em]far withi[C]n
[G]Oh, the bathers
[G7]Oh, the toweling
[Em]Your cells are saviors that [C]ring wet bells growling and
[G]You have the black eyes
Just h[G7]oles filled with night skies
[Em]A saddening sweetness through [C]your kid-sister sighs
Where the[G] Sylvan Lake corner is f[Em]lickering with childhood
And the mo[C]urner within me feels [Am]older than wildwood
And [G]if I knew what part of[Em] me was wax
Id t[C]ry to truncate it with a b[Am]lack sopping night a[G]xe
