Drag the River - Tired & Fired

Capo II

........Bm...................D
Letters full of loveless lying 


Em.............................................G
say you'd rather leave than stay and try


..........Bm..........................Em
Lay my head down when I'm tired


................G
I'm always tired 


................D
I'm almost done


D..............................F#
I don't mind it, I'm without you

Bm.....................................G
didn't mind to wait until you'd gone


..........D............................Em
Lay my head down when I'm tired


................G
I'm always tired 


...............D
I'm almost done


I don't mind it, not seeing daylight
ain't afraid of darkness when it falls
Lay my head down when I'm tired
I'm always tired 
I'm almost done

F#....................................G
I know you ain't responsible only


D...............................................A
pushed away the feelings that you had


F#..................................G
Why it might be impossible only


D.......................................................A
staying awake with these feelings that I have


Bm..................................................G
afraid I found the thing that made you sad

Pull up all these lies 
say you'd rather leave than stay and try
Lay my head down when I'm tired
I'm always tired 
I'm almost done

I'm always tired
I'm always tired

J Tillman - If You've Gotta Go, Go Now

G..C..G..C..G..C..G..C


.............G...........C...G
listen to me baby

.........................................C....C/b...G
there's something you must see

............C
i wanna be with you gal

...........D7
if you wanna be with me


it's not that i'm questioning you
to take part in any quiz
it's just that i don't have a watch
and you keep asking me what time it is


.....................G....C....G
if you've gotta go

......C...C/b...G
it's alright

.....................C........Em
if you've gotta go, go now

.....D.............................G
or else you gotta stay all night


i'm just a poor boy
looking to connect
i certainly don't want you thinking
that i don't have any respect

you know i'd have nightmares
a guilty conscience too
if i kept you from anything
that you really wanted to do

well if you've gotta go
that's alright
if you've gotta go, go now
or else you gotta stay all night

it's not that i'm wanting
anything you never gave before
it's just that i'll be sleeping soon
it'll be too dark for you to find the door

if you've gotta go
it's alright
if you've gotta go, go now
or else you gotta stay all night
if you've gotta go, go now
or else you gotta stay all night

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

a heart on the run keeps a hand on the gun you can't trust anyone

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

i was so sure what i needed was more tried to shoot out the sun

.....................Bm..............................G.................................D

days when we raged we flew off the page such damage was done

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

but i made it through cause somebody knew i was meant for someone

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

girl leave your boots by the bed we ain't leavin' this room

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

till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom

.....Em................................G...............................Bm

it's cold in this house and i ain't going out to chop wood

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

cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

put your faith to the test when i tore off your dress in richmond on high

but i sobered up and i swore off that stuff forever this time

and the old lovers sing i thought it'd be me who helped him get home

but home was a dream one i'd never seen till you came along

girl hand your dress up to dry we ain't leavin' this room

till percy priest breaks open wide and the river runs through

and carries this house on the stones like a piece of driftwood

cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

girl leave your boots by the bed we ain't leavin' this room

till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom

it's cold in this house and i ain't going out to chop wood

cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good

Em............................................D....................C

rocks are for the honest guns are for the wise
lies are for the frightened for the blind man his supplies
and i live in the space created by your compromise
so can you whoop it
tell me can you whoop it

Drag the River - Barroom Bliss

C.......................F..........................C

My mind doesn't work so well these days

C...................F..................C

I drink all my waking hours away

G

If I sit here long enough

G

maybe I think of something

.........C...............Am......G

that'll make you stay

something tells me not think at all
I sit in the darkness starin at the wall
This lonliness is hell
I search for drinks and things
to make me well

F...............Am
I spend my life staring

G............................C

through my bloodshot eyes

F............Am...............G

I'll never know where I belong

With eyes closed fast
I play photographs of you
You stare at me and wonder
how I'm doing
I tell you that I'm fine
That thought echoes through my empty mind

I close my eyes again

With barroom bliss and a strangers kiss
I'm home
Cause noone ever wants to be alone
I doubt that there is a way
I'll ever speak the words
that'll make you stay

my mind doesnt work so well these days

Drag the River - Song For Robin Reichhardt

G...D...Am...C..D

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

I know I said we'd never part

Am..................C.............D

I remember that time of year

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

Maybe I won't sound the same

Am

But I'll be fine if no one

C..................D

mentions her name


G.............................D
I need a song just like before

G......................................C

That one just don't cut it anymore

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

I'm impressed now its the end

...........................................Am

I'll let all the sad songs roll back in

Am

I'll be be fine if no one

C.................D............C

mentions her name anymore

................G
Except for lying

.....................C

alone with the earth

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

all alone for a while

.................C..................................G

I'll feel like drivin' just away in the morning

.........................Em

All but I've been seeing myself

............C..........D

The first time I might

So maybe I won't sound the same

Tell me I don't feel the same

But I'll be fine if no one
mentions her name

Think of how it was that night
and how you feel tonight
I'll be fine if no one

mentions her name anymore

Need a song just like before

The one don't cut it anymore

I'm impressed now it's the end

all those sad sounds roll back

I'll be fine if no one

mentions her name

Anymore

I'll survive it

Drag the River - Medicine

G

A bottle a day

Bm

keeps the doctors away

D.........................Em

or so my girlfriend says

G

So I take my medicine

Bm

and she gives me something

D...........................C

that word's just can't express


.......G
She's cranky when she's sober

D

so sweet when she's wasted

...........C

When I quench my thirst with her waters

..........D................................C

it's the sweetest I have ever tasted


C...G...C...G


As I lay down to sleep
she lays a bottle at my feet
knowing when I wake up
I'll be shaking
the sun comes through the window
she opens up the bottle
she feeds me my medicine again

She's cranky when she's sober

so sweet when she's wasted
When I quench my thirst with her waters

it's the sweetest I have ever tasted

C...............G

I can't stay clean long

.......................C................G

I hope she is not angry anymore

Em.................D.....................C

she brings me happiness in a bottle

................Am...........Em

makes life easier to swallow

..................G...........Am

makes love easier to hold

...............C...........D

so I've been told


Em...G...Am...A

She's cranky when she's sober

so sweet when she's wasted

When I quench my thirst with her waters

it's the sweetest I have ever tasted

can't stay clean long
hope she's not angry anymore

American Aquarium - Rattlesnake

Capo III

G...C...G

G...D...G

G

she was born outside of Memphis

.....C...............G

just north of Tupelo

.........................................D

oh Lord she's a Mississippi queen

G

and just like that big river

.......C........................G

oh Lord she'll pull you under

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

she fights fire with gasoline

well first time that I saw her

down at the Whitewater

dancing across those ancient hardwood floors

and you could tell she had a history

with the cigarettes and whiskey

and the boys that had a way with words

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

but I want to make

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

that glorious mistake

G...........................................C...........G

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

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

and the bite of a rattlesnake

just like my first occurrence

with straight Kentucky bourbon

oh Lord she took my breath away

and when she called me darling

I started caterwhomping

oh I had nothing else to say

but I want to make

that glorious mistake

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

and the bite of a rattlesnake

and when she gets me all alone

she strikes the fear of Jesus

she sends that fear coursing through my blood

and when we hit the bedroom

it's always fire and brimstone

yes I have been washed in the flood

but I want to make

that glorious mistake

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

and the bite of a rattlesnake

now she's got the kisses of a thousand angels

and the bite of a rattlesnake
