Mountain Goats - Lakeside View Apartments Suite chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
This is a great song, atmospheric and somehow deep.
As this is my first tab and I'm still quite a novice myself, please don't judge too hard 
about it.

I'm pretty sure about the chords, though. They sure sound fine.
Just make sure to vary in the way you play them - the song sounds better the more you 
play them note by note just like the piano and bass do in the original.

One last thing about the timing: I tried to match the chords as exactly to the syllabees 
as possable - still there's no way around listening to the song again and again about 
it. Or just improvise.

Bm       D                 G    Bm
Downtown north past the airport
G            A                  D
  A dream in switchgrass and concrete
Bm         D      G           D
Three gray floors - of smoky windows
F#m   D             G
         Facing the street

E          D                     Bm
   Michael pulls the blinds back up
E                 D                        Bm
   Stares blankly down at the intersection
Bm               A         G                  A
Watching for the guy who's got the angel dust
F#m        D          E
   Crystal clear connection

              G   A
Days like dominos
             Bm
All in a line
                     G     A           Bm
We cheer for the home team - every time
         G  A  Bm             G  A  Bm
Lakeside View,       Lakeside View
         G  A     Bm D     G

Bm             D                     G D
Most nights now sleep in the kitchen
G             A                         D
  Keep my face cool on the floor
     Bm                D         G           D
And John, John comes by to drop off his envelopes
F#m                 D   G
  Still playing postman after all these years

E              (Bm)
E              D             Bm
  Pull down my army surplus jacket
E                  D                      Bm
Dig through some drawers to find the keys
   Bm       A      G                  A
Emerge transformed in a million years
F#m  D              E
     From days like these

           G   A                     Bm
Under each eye - little greasepaint smudge
(D)       G        A                 Bm
You can't judge us - you're not the judge
         G  A  Bm             G  A  Bm
Lakeside View,       Lakeside View
         G  A     Bm D     G
Lakeside View for my whole crew

E                            Bm
     And just before I leave
E                            Bm
     I throw up in the sink
E                            Bm
     One whole life recorded
E                            Bm
     In disappearing ink

Bm  A  G

Bm                  A    G                      F#m
  And Ray left a message thumbtacked to the door
Bm           A                G
I don't even bother trying to read them anymore
         G  A  Bm             G  A  Bm
Lakeside View,       Lakeside View
         G  A     Bm D     G
Lakeside View for my whole crew
