Chords for The Mountain Goats - Attention All Pickpockets [Live]

_ Oh, I like this one.
I was shocked. _
_ _ _ I was really [Em] surprised that anybody wanted to hear this.
_ As you might know, as you [B] might have noticed, I like to put, this is, by the way, this is like Indie 101. _
[Ab] Do stuff that defeats your own purpose. _
_ _ Reflexively, routinely, [Fm] make it part of your own deal.
That like, you do things that [Gb] everybody would say,
you know, that song should probably go on the album, that's a good song.
No, [E] fuck you, it's a B-side.
_ [Eb] _
And it's only available in Belgium.
[G] _ And I'll [Abm] never play it again.
_ _ Yeah, but it sounds like the A-side from the single [N] from the album.
No, _ no, it's a B-side.
[G] In fact, I'm not going to release it at all.
I'm not going to release it at all.
We'll put something [Abm] live on the B-side.
[F] _ So, this was recorded during an incredibly hot week.
I went to _ Paris for this thing [Ab] called the MoFo Festival.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It was three, _ no, three, five, five days of recording, _ _ two days of concerts,
in the basement of a wonderful place called Mandu, which is probably not how it's pronounced. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And they didn't really prep us much.
They said, yeah, no, we will have recording.
Okay, cool.
_ Well, there will be room for spontaneity.
There will be recording.
_ Okay, well, how are you?
Just come and do the show.
Okay, good.
So, _ _ [Eb] you show up, and on the first day, they take you out of the [Db] basement.
Okay, this is your engineer.
[G] His name is Bernard.
Go ahead and record.
[E] _ _ _
_ [Ab] I hadn't _ written any songs.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Kimme Dawson was there.
We were meeting [Bb] for the first time.
_ [G] _
_ _ [N] She is part of the giant chorus of singers on the _ studio version of this.
It was recorded.
It was about 115 degrees in there.
I sat _ down.
I looked at the sign on the wall that had been stolen from some French alley.
_ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] Attention _ _ of pickpockets.
_ [Abm] _ _ _ Danger of pickpockets is what it [C] meant.
But I read it wrong on purpose, [Bb] and it said, attention, all pickpockets.
[G] _ And I [D] sat down, wrote a quick lyric.
_ The lyric turns [G] out actually to have been a study for the song, Delauded.
It's the same people.
_ _ _ [Gm] And [G] then Daniel Broto of Refrigerator. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So, we'll see if I can_
[Bb] _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ No, I'll carry it over. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ That's right. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Didn't _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] come here.
_ _ [Am] Not the same person [F]
I knew.
_ _ [C] _ _ Looking [G] roughly the same.
Something [A] hungry getting [F] restless in your brain.
_ [C] _ _ So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] there I go.
_ _ [A] Not the same person that [F] you used to [C] know.
_ _ [G] Eating food.
_ _ _ [Am] Fish islands I [F] knew. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
In [C] the corn and cloves.
_ [G] _
Where the [Am] oleander grows.
_ [C] _
And [G] us too.
_ _ [C] Not the same people that our old friends knew. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And [G] so down the street [Am] you head. _
[F] In the high summer heat.
[C] _ White long [G]-sleeve oxford.
_ [Am] Pushed up to just [F] before your elbows.
[C] Black horse and a [G] medium length black skirt.
[Am] Eating a path through [F] the dark [C] damp earth.
I hope [G]
they got _ _ _ [Am] plenty of money [F] where you're going. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] In the corn [C] and cloves.
_ [G] _
Where the [Am] oleander grows.
_ [C] _
_ [G] And us too.
_ [C] We are not the same people [F] that our old friends [C] knew. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yeah!
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
