Roy Davis and the Dregs - Lie Like the Snow Falls

Capo I

Bm..................................D
well she couldn't sleep so she said to him

........A........................G
"the spirit keeps me up"

...........Bm.............................D
and he gave her a stare that cut through the air

......A.............G
like fire on a rug

Bm...............................D
each time she inhales a frail figurine

.......A....................G
he's lost beyond repair

.......Bm.......................D
well love turns to lust turns to love turns to dust

.............A...............G
turns to all he can bare

............A

..................................G
don't cry when your glass is full

........................D
just lie like the snow falls

..................G
hell is the little things

..............D.........A
love will dance again

don't cry when your glass is full
just lie like the snow falls
hell is the little things
love will dance again

she got a job cleaning pots at a bar
where she screws the chef
and he got a watch with a hand that keeps track
of the minutes since she left
and all's well that ends well they smiled when they both fell
on ice on Christmas Eve
and the river was wider the moon it was brighter
but love will dance again
again

don't cry when your glass is full
just lie like the snow falls
hell is the little things
love will dance again

don't cry when your glass is full
just lie like the snow falls
hell is the little things
love will dance again

Shreveport to Beaumont
Girl, you know that I miss you when I'm gone
Labor Day was a fine mess
You got cake on your sundress
We just laughed it off when you kept it on

You know, the radio's playing
The song you're always singing
And the dawn is breaking
The old yellow moon is sinking
I run the truck up in the yard
And leave the keys swinging
Because 21 days has got me thinking
That 21 days is 22 days too long

You know, the radio's playing
The song you're always singing
And the dawn is breaking
The old yellow moon is sinking
I run the truck up in the yard
And leave the keys swinging
Because 21 days has got me thinking
That 21 days is 22 days too long
Yes, its 22 days too long

Chorus:

take me home lone pine hill

I swear I see her in my dreams sometimes
Held up in the middle of the night
Shakin like a pistol in a young mans hand
There in the pale moonlight

Standin up the top of that lonely hill
Spared by the company mines
Is my blue eyed baby with her best dress on
In the shadow of a lonely pine

I'll be back before the war
When the company came
They still grew wild and free
Me and baby we'd hide in the hollars low
Away from the cruel suns heat
But then they knocked down the timber
And burned off the brush
To get to the riches below
And when they pulled out
They left a cold black ground
And one pine standing lone

So take me home...
Lone pine hill

I signed up back in '61
I'm an army of a genuine man
I've been from Mannasas to Mackonackey
All the way to Sailors Creek fighting
For my home land

After 4 years gone and all hope lost
And rich mens under seige
They were diggin out fire holes
And waitin in the rain
To shed and they bring us to their knees

So take me home...
Lone pine hill

There's a strange moon hangin' overhead tonight
And if the rain keeps comin then the creek's gunna rise
With the good lords grace
I'll make it outta this place
I'll be in her arms come the morning light I swear...

So god grant me speed and grant me forgiveness
And carry me on through the night
Take me through the hills and over your rivers
Away from this awful fight

Cause I ain't never known a man that's never owned another
Ain't never owned nothin of my own
And after 4 long years I just can't tell you
What the hell I've been fighting for...

So take me home...
Lone pine hill
Take me home...
Lone pine hill

Justin Townes Earle - Lonesome and You

.......C
well come on honey why don't you

G................................................................D

but all I want is for you to show me
how much you really care if you even do

C............................................G
so I don't know what I should do

.....................................D
seems like either way I lose

.........................G
between lonesome and you

now every time I, I try and kiss you
you turn your cheek and oh how I miss you
why do you have to be so cruel

I used to think that you were so
sweet and loving but now I know
just what me thinking can do

so I don't know what I should do
seems like either way I lose
between lonesome and you

C..............................G
between lonesome and you

.......D......................G

Phosphorescent - Cocaine Lights

Capo I

C
In the darkness

.................Dm
After the cocaine lights

........G
I will miss you

.........C
More than ever

And to color my eyes into rose
Is to ask of my beaten bones
To be less of meat and stone
And more of feather

........................F
But lord they’re rolling me away

...............C
Ain’t they rolling me away

................G...............C
Don’t they roll oh oh oh


In the morning in the kitchen
I can hear my own blood clicking
So I stand there and I listen
Til the glowing begins

There is light that pours sweet from new hips
There is beer that pours sweet through my lips
There is gold where the cold button sits
It’s just a showy amen

And in the hallway, in a slip
She says ‘hey, don’t you like my newest trick’
And I say “yeah that’s a pretty good trick
Would you show me again’

And lord I truly am awake
And lord, truly I am afraid
And, lord, truly I remain…

In the darkness
After the cocaine lights
I will miss you
With no warning

I will recover my sense of grace
And rediscover my rightful place
Yes and cover my face
With the morning

William Elliott Whitmore - Sometimes Our Dreams Float Like Anchors

N.C.................................G
And the hammer swings high and comes down hard

.......................D...........................G
Drive another nail into my coffin lid

...............................................................C
And as the days go by if I can play my part

....................G.........D......................G
Well I'll feel no remorse for what I did

Your mother would cry if she only could
But those days are gone, those days are gone
And she always tried to see the good in everything that you done

................................C..................................G
And sometimes our dreams they float like anchors

..................D...............................G
in hopeless waters oh way down here

......................C.............................G...G/F#..Em
Sometimes it seems that all that matters most

......G.........D..............................G
are all the things that you can't keep

Oh, the skin, Oh, the skin
That this old world has placed me in
I can't wait to shed, I can't wait to shed
Lord I'll be free when I'm dead

Vigilantes of Love - Weak One Now

G...C...D

G.................C................Em...............G
It's not your promises that I don't respect

......................Em........................G
They're cold comfort when I'm wrecked

................D.....................C
Reaching blindly out for you

G..................C.....................Em.....................G
I've heard it said at least a thousand times before

..................Em.....................G...................D..........C
"Just keep knocking at the door of opportunity"

C..........................D
I'm the weak one now

...................Am.....................C
And I don't need your sacred cow

....................................D
It's hard to drink the dreams

.............Am..................C
Mingled ashes and the might-have-been

C
Kill the spirit

.................D
Assail the flesh

.....Am...........................C
We amuse ourselves to death

..................................D...........................Am
Holy words on bated breath lose their meaning

.........C.....................G
20th century, shut up

Gold has lost its luster
The silver becomes dull
Once I used to run with joy
Now I can barely crawl
I'd like to help you, brother
I've washed my hands and dried
The steely blade of science never hypnotized me once

.........................................G
I've been for some time

only sound made
is out of regression
I try to block it out
but it comes from within now
I pass the college grounds
and their well lit halls
that bridge is too far
fuck filling out student loans

all the streets are dark
and their empty now
the burning hands of the daylight sun
haven't touched me in so long
been lost under neon
don't even want to find my way out
because everything that sinks
finally finds its way down

town and country
town and country
it doesn't matter to me
cause I always stay inside

I'm sick on loving you

..................................F
It's a hurtful kind of loving

...............................Dm
The devil's in your eyes

.........................................G

And I'm falling for your trick
I really can't get enough of it
But I'm too drunk to dance
So, I take you down

Look at what we've become

....C..........................C/B........Am
A black heart and a loaded gun

.........F.........................................................G..................C
But I guess that's part of growing up in a midwest town
