Austin Lucas - Singing Man

Capo IV

D...A...G...D
D...C...G
D...A...G...D
D...C...G...A

.......D....................A
on a long winding road

...............G...............D
neath the passing of crows

D..........................C.................G
sat a girl speaking soft to the heavens

and though so crowned with locks of gold
she was without companion
but not without hopefuls to walk her home

and as the liberty would be mine
on one night in the autumn
I took care to be more than a dance

for she'd been courted by kings
but the kings were not worthy
and the path unto her heart would elude them

......Em................A
so I followed her home

.......F#m...............G
until breathlessly I said

...............D.........................C.................G
here's my hand won't you take it oh won't you, oh

I may be small in your eyes
compared to the mighty
but won't you love this poor singing man

so like water molds the earth
I was swept up in the current
but I held fast and Lord I saw her turning

like some dark and foreign sky
she was fierce and yet silent
as she held this poor singing man

I had followed her home
until breathlessly she said
here's my hand won't you take oh won't you, oh

you are not weak and not small
in my eyes you are mine
I do love you, oh, singing man
I said I do love you, oh, singing man
I said I do love you, oh, singing man

on a long winding road
neath the passing of crows
sat a girl speaking soft to the heavens

Dexateens - Grandaddy's Mouth

D.....................Am.................C
fanning out the flames

..............G................D
trying to put the fire out

....................Am
driving hard rain

.........C.............................G..............D
won't put those hot coals out

digging deep again
trying to get past a man's skin
forget what lies within
cause we all bleed crimson out

Am............C..........D.............Am
no one can say it's just down south

Am.....C................D...........Am
can't explain grandaddy's mouth

Am......C................D.............Am
if your words ain't no damn good

...............G
you're no good

bury in the shame
trying to find someone to blame
friends that come and change
but spread those fires out

no one can say it's just down south
can't explain grandaddy's mouth
if your words ain't no damn good
you're no good

.......Am......................C
and good for one thing we

...................Am
can't do without

...............C
one thing we

....................Am
can't do without

...............C......................G
one thing we can't do without

no one can say it's just down south
can't explain grandaddy's mouth
if your words ain't no damn good
you're no good

Austin Lucas - Fountain of Youth

D
if I were a little wiser here's what I'd do

............G....................................................................D
well I'd go down south and drink from the fountain of youth

..............A
we could live

..............G..................D
we could live forever there


if I were a little kinder here's what I'd do
well I'd never say another cruel word to you
you would love me
you would love me again

A..................................G......................D
sometimes I live in the country or the town

A................................................G...............D
sometimes I wanna jump in the river and drown

.........G...........................D
lately I've been hanging round

.......G....................D
with nothing in my head

............G.....................D
and it's better off than dead

..............G.......................D
ain't that just what Jesus said

...........................A
or something like that

....G.....................D
or something like that

if I were a little faster here's what I'd do
well I'd jump on the highway doing 92
and I'd see
your pretty face again

if I were a little smarter here's what I'd do
well I'd go to a church, I'd say a prayer for you
we could be
we could be together then

sometimes I live in the country or the town
sometimes I wanna jump in the river and drown
lately I've been hanging round
with nothing in my head
and it's better off than dead
ain't that just what someone said
or something like that
or something like that
