Gram Parsons - In My Hour of Darkness

F
In my hour of darkness
In my time of need

C
Oh, Lord grant me vision

Bb.........................F
Oh, Lord grant me speed


Once I knew a young man
Went driving through the night
Miles and miles without a word
With just his high-beam lights

Bb...............................F
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such

Bb........................F
a deadly Denver bend

C
To be so strong, to take as long as

Bb....................F
it would till the end


In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh, Lord grant me vision
Oh, Lord grant me speed

Another young man safely strummed his
silver string guitar
And he played to people everywhere
Some say he was a star
But he was just a country boy,
his simple songs confess
And the music he had in him,
so very few possess

In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh, Lord grant me vision
Oh, Lord grant me speed

Then there was an old man
Kind and wise with age
And he read me just like a book and he
never missed a page
And I loved him like my father
And I loved him like my friend
And I knew his time would shortly come
but I did not know just when

In my hour of darkness
In my time of need
Oh, Lord grant me vision
Oh, Lord grant me speed
Oh, Lord grant me vision
Oh, Lord grant me speed

vodka December

........................C
like vodka December


drunk while you're asleep
I sneak around the bed like a burglar
and you don't even notice when
I knock over your glass of water
it's hard to be a good man listening
to the Drive-By Truckers
but you're so good to me it's weird
I think I'm happy
it's a shot in the dark but I don't think that
I've fallen further
beautiful storms dancing like
vodka December
like vodka December

pick me up from work
Juliet Echo November
how was you're day, I'm ok
what do you want for dinner
tired and kinda of crazy
what would you name the baby
but for everything we've got
and you mean everything to me
it's a shot in the dark but I don't think that
I've fallen further
beautiful storms dancing like
vodka December
like vodka December
like vodka December
like vodka December

Shenandoah how long will I miss you

Bm.................E........................A
tonight you're far away as the Kentucky moon

........F#m..................E...........................Bm
and I know you hold a secret of mine or two

Bm...............E................................A
tonight little darling my heart's with you

Wabash between us
fill the cannonball blues
maybe I really did see the light
halfway to Heaven's fine, but I could not be sure
halfway is all there ever was
and I know that you hold a secret of yours or two
tonight little darling my heart's with you

there's just so much a man can miss
and just no end to what he can regret
and I'm holding on to whatever hope shall get through
and tonight little darling my heart's with you
tonight little darling my heart's with you

she said I've been the stockyard's pony

.................D.............................Bm............A
she said I've been the mountain engine's roll

........G............................D
from Chicago to West Virginia

...................Bm.......................A...............Em
I've been as lonesome as the world's first ghost

G.......................................D
as lonesome as the world's first ghost

but out here even the prairie doubts the horizon
all I have to do is prove that I'm not pure
oh the right words come but I ain't talking
the devil's mean but he's honest just as sure
oh he is honest just as sure

A..................................G.......D
oh grace when you stop believing

A.......................................G........D
that don't mean that it just goes away

........A..........................G........D
it's a long way between horizons

...............Bm........A.........Em
and it gets farther every day

G....A.....G.....D
oh grace, oh grace

oh grace when you stop believing
that don't mean that it just goes away
it's a long way between horizons
and it gets farther every day
oh grace, oh grace

she says but I know a man who's heart is restless
he's never home and he's never gone
and he had some good things but he lost them
like everything he ever set his heart upon
oh that he set that heart upon

oh boy if you stop believing
that don't mean that I just walk away
it's a long way between horizons
and it gets farther every day
oh grace
oh grace

.......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

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

one thing we

one thing we can't do without

no one can say it's just down south

if your words ain't no damn 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

it's colder here today

Em.......G/F#............G
shadows trace behind us

.....C.......................G
it's closer than you think

it's a late time to call them
everything's been done
my heart fails to follow
where it all begun

C................................G
I wanna sleep in your arms

C...........................G
I wanna fall at your feet

Em......................G
I wanna be where you are

G..........................................C
and I wanna dream what you dream

tales arise
laid out on the street
we have come so far
we can barely speak

distance matters
when the tide recedes
and I don't I need no stars above me
to show me where this will lead

I wanna sleep in your arms
I wanna fall at your feet
I wanna be where you are
and I wanna dream what you dream

everything means nothing
if nothing means your wrong
cause no advice will shake this up
bad deal is better than none

don't try and tell me
it will be the same
scrape to get us some pride and solace
show me which one's to blame

and I wanna sleep in your arms
I wanna fall at your feet
I wanna be where you are
and I wanna dream what you dream

I wanna sleep in your arms
I wanna fall at your feet
I wanna be where you are love
and I wanna dream what you dream

love that I've lost and the sins I commit

riding my black horse

I heard that thunder and I felt that rain
running through depression with the grace of the pope
struggling for attention as we pace the halls
riding my black horse

born to live and I live to die
along with my thoughts and a steady heart
working for the Lord on the devil's time
riding my black horse
