The Mountain Goats – Dark In Here Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
Dm7 F A7
Dm7 F A7

[Verse 1]
 Dm7                  F
Steal away at sundown,
                A7
pick a place to hide
Dm7                       F
Check for signs of ambush,
               A7
hunker down inside
A#         C                Dm7
 Tired of running, tired of never
 standing still
A# C             Dm
      Hear them riding up the hill

[Chorus]
Dm7                 A7
Men whose ribs are showing through
         Gm
their skin, bringing up the rear
Dm7             F
 It’s high noon somewhere,
      A#           Dm
 it’s dark in here

[Verse 2]
 Dm7                F
Stack my ammunition,
                    A7
be ready when you come
Dm7                       F
You who thirst for action,
                 A7
I will give you some
A#                     C
When the smoke dies down,
Dm7
you can rest assured
A# C          Dm
      We will know who
      kept his word

[Chorus]
Dm7               A7
You who stood so proud once
Gm
I can taste your fear
Dm7              F
 You blazed like torches
    A#           Dm
It’s dark in here

[Bridge]
               Gm       D#
It’s dark as a coal mine
                 Dm
filling up with gas
Gm D#           Dm             A
       I stand ready for the blast

 Will you be ready when

 your moment comes?
Dm7
Will your hand be steady when
    F                    A7
you reach down for your guns?
        A#                   C
Did you leave your house in order
Dm7
 when you came for me?
A#        C               Dm
 Is this really where you meant
 to be?

[Chorus]
Dm7               A7
Just beyond your limits
Gm
Find the new frontier
Dm7           F
I live in the darkness
     A#          Dm7
It’s dark in here
