@Mountain Goats "Source Decay" - written by john darnielle tabbed by Russ Sweetser [email protected] ------------------------------------------ E--A--E---AEOnce a week I make the drive F#two hours east to check the AAustin post office box. EI take the detour throuF#gh our old neighborhood, see all the ChevAy Impalas in their front yBards up on blocks, and I pAark in an alley and I rBead through the postcards that you cEontinue to send:A where as iF#ndirectly as you can you aAsk what I remember.

EI let a few of my Bdefenses fall and I smC#ile a bitter smile -- it's not aF# pretty thing to see -- I think aAbout a railroad platform back in 1B983 E A E A B Aand I remember theE train headed south out of Bangkok down toward toward the water
