D   Dmaj9  D  Dmaj9 G   
let the    camera   pull back
G                       Asus4                   D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
til the fullness of the frame is clear and plain
D  Dmaj9 D    Dmaj9     G
peer into the screen until you see it all
Asus4                          D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
like a vision in a crystal ball

E                    A
let it all fill with smoke
D                            G
is this somebody's idea of a joke?

D   Dmaj9 D  Dmaj9    G 
let the fixer work until the silver's washed away
Asus4                            D Dmaj9 D Dmaj9
and take the picture from the tray
D    Dmaj9   D        Dmaj9    
look hard at what you see
    G      Asus4
and then remember you and me
D Dmaj9          D               Dmaj9
     and let the truth spring free
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/mountain-goats/306868.html ]
E                  A
like a jack in the box
D                       G
like a hundred thousand cuckoo clocks

G               A
from the oregon corners
D           G
to the iowa corn 
G                          A               D   Dsus9 D Dsus9
to the rooms with the heat lamps where the snakes get born

(same as other verses)
crawl through the tunnel and follow, 
follow the light northwest
see that young man who dwells inside his body 
like an uninvited guest

F#             Bm
see the tunnel twist
E                              A
clutch your birthright in your fist

(same as other verses)
let the camera do its dirty work 
down there in the dark
sink low, rise high, and bring back some blurry pictures 
to remember all your darker moments by

E                        A
permanent bruises on our knees
         D                                G
never forget what it felt like to live in rooms like these

G                        A
from the california coastline
D           G
to the iowa corn
G                          A               D   Dsus9 D Dsus9
to the rooms with the heat lamps where the snakes get born
