verse 1: John Darnielle 
A7/G                  C#m      Bm          A 
Sun just clearing the treeline when my day begins 
A7/G                C#m      Bm                       A 
Slippery ice on the bridges, northeastern wind coming in 
A7/G               C#m   Bm                 A 
You will bruise my head, I will strike your heel 
A7/G                C#m                A/E                  A7/G 
Drive past woods of northern pine, try not to let go of the wheel

         C 
Dream at night 
            G        A 
Girl with a cobra tattoo 
       C 
On her arm 
                 G          A 
Its head flaring out like a parachute

Prisms in the dew drops in the underbrush 
A7/G               C#m             Bm                A 
Skatecase sailor's purses floating down in the black needlerush 
A7/G            C#m   Bm            A 
Higher than the stars I will set my throne 
A7/G              C#m      Bm                          A 
God does not need Abraham, God can raise children from stones

And try to hear 
                 G             A 
The garbled transmissions come through
