Tuning: EADGBe (standard)
This tab shows how to play Modern Baseball's cover of the song 'Palmcorder
Yajna,' originally written and performed by The Mountain Goats. You can watch a
video of Jake Ewald of Modern Baseball performing the song here:

Modern Baseball's version of the song is in a different key than the original
and has some changes to the chord progressions in the choruses, so it seems
worthy of having its own tab. The song is played in standard tuning with no
capo. The chord voicings used throughout the song are given below:

Esus Esus4
And the headstones climbed up the hills
