Capo 3

G                      C             G
Radio waves are coming miles and miles
C                   G                         
Bringing only empty boats
                          C          G      
Whatever feeling they had when they sailed
C                               G      
Somehow slipped out between the notes

Em                    C       G
Out on the desert and feeling lost
Em                      C      G
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Em                      C               G
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
D                     C
Sighing just a little bit
D                     C
Sighing just a little bit
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/josh_ritter/monster_ballads_crd_ver_2.html ]
And I was thinking 'bout what Katy done
Thinking 'bout what Katy did
The fairest daughter of the Pharoah's son
Dressed in gold 'neath pyramids

Out on the desert now and feeling lost
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Sighing just a little bit
Sighing just a little bit

C                        
Ones and zeroes bleeding mesa noise
G                                D                   
And when you're empty there's so much space for them
C                          
You turn it off but then a still, small voice
G                          D 
Comes in blazing from some vast horizon

[piano solo]

And I was thinking 'bout my river days
And I was thinking 'bout me and Jim
Passing cairo on a getaway
With every steamboat like a hymn

Out on the desert now and feeling lost
The bonnet wears a wire albatross
Monster ballads and the stations of the cross
Sighing just a little bit
D                     C
Smiling just a little bit
