Orange Ball Of Hate

Again, I forget the key but it's pretty much a blues progression. Pick

your favorite key. The (D-D#-E) part is the riff that he plays.

Title: Orange Ball of Hate

Band: Mountain Goats

Album: Zopilote Machine

Time: 12/8 (on the record)

E (D-D#-E)

when i hear the screeching weather vane

in the wild wind and the hissing rain

i know that one of us, i'm not saying who,

has got rocks in her head

as the rain comes through the open window

but you don't think so

i sure do love you

E (D-D#-E)

i sure do love you

when i notice that the radio is broken

i see you standing there in the doorway soaking

the water drizzles off of you down to the floor

and i say that i don't want to live in new england anymore

some flower petals stick to your skin

i grab hold of your hip, and i pull you in

when the building establishes control

when the thunder from the north begins to roll down our way

i know i've been right all along

and you start singing that stupid children's song

you think i don't know it

but i just don't feel like singing it

sure do love you

i sure do love you
