Label: Greyday Records www.greydayproductions.com
From NPR:
The Heligoats — a strange name for a guy strumming a guitar, but oddly befitting someone who stuffs his songs with so many sideways ideas and observations. Given the yarns he spins here, it's easy to imagine Otepka envisioning a herd of goats with propellers and setting the concept to music.

This is "Goodness Gracious" by The Heligoats (Chris Otepka). The chords I've written here are pretty much
entirely based off of The Heligoats Tiny Desk Concert. I highly recommend watching it.
Please comment if there are any errors, suggestions, etc.
D: XX0232
Em: XXX453 (same form as basic Dm, just up to frets)
G: 355433
G*: 320033
C: X32010
D*: 554X30 (I'm not so sure about this one)
[Verse 1]
D Em D
I've got a driver's side arm
Em D
I've got distribution
Em D
I've got people in a rut
Em G
They know I love them but they don't know how much
Em D
It was an interesting angle
Em D
to have been layin' in when you say we're on the same page
Em D
When you say I should be singing your praises
Em G
Anxiously waiting for the next note you play me
D*
It's crazy
[Instrumental]
G D (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em D
And out of all that I've received
Em D
You gave me something that I never knew I needed
Em D
I never knew I was frozen
Em G
Until you turned on the heat
Em D
To reveal oceans of honesty
Em D
Though not a drop of confidence
Em D Em G
So busy treadin' just to keep my head above a sinking conscience
[Bridge]
C G*
It was like I stopped having dreams, starting having manifestations
C G*
No longer in a state where I can't wait because I made it
C G*
I went from having hopes so low to having a surplus
C G*
I went from burning my days by to burning daylight with a purpose
C G*
Turning virtues into habits into consciousness
C G*
And then I said "goodnight" for real for once, and it sounded just like this:
[Outro]
D C
Goodnight
G*
Goodness Gracious, Goodnight.
D
Goodnight
C
Goodnight
G*
Goodness Gracious, Goodnight.
