The Mountain Goats is essentially one man, John Darnielle, and his acoustic guitar. He's
put tonnes of albums on 7", 10", 12", CD's and cassettes... yet still remains relatively
obscure. Check him out. Head to www.themountaingoats.net (his website. warning: super bad
navigation on the site.)
This is my tab for "Pink and Blue" off of the "All Hail West Texas" album. I'm very
confident about the accuracy.
Listen to the song for the strumming pattern. It's very simple.

Crows outside complaining about the

Finer points of local politics

Rust and fur and reception sticks
