A7/G
[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
[Chorus]
C
Dream at night
G A
Girl with a cobra tattoo
C
On her arm
G A
Its head flaring out like a parachute
[Intro]
A7/G C#m Bm A
A7/G C#m Bm A
[Verse 2]
A7/G C#m Bm A
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
[Chorus]
C
Dream at night
G A
Girl with a cobra tattoo
C
And try to hear
G A
The garbled transmissions come through
[Outro]
