Magnolia Electric Co - Rock of Ages

C
rock of ages

.........Am
and a carbide lamp

..........F.....................................C..........G
on the bridge that no one would name

.................C
we gave it hours

....Am
of mercy

........F...........C.......G
little darling, amen

and the little hope
you'd thought we'd lost
and then back the way we came

this little lamp
lays her heart
at the feet of the light
the lantern will not stand
oh mercy, amen

me and this old girl
we tried and tried
not looking back again

Well they gave all they could, It’s more than they should
You better quit your messin’ around

Justin Townes Earle - Who Am I To Say

Capo IV


G
Well now who am I to say?

C.....................................G
If all I know is what I heard

..............C
With the things some people say

............................G
You can never be to sure

.............Em
But who cares where you find comfort

C
I’m no one to deny

Am.......................................D
Anybody what they need to take them through a night

.............G
Because who am I to say

...........................C..............D...........G
What you should do behind close doors

Well now who am I to say?
I’ve been trouble almost all my life
I took pleasure in such things most wouldn’t entertain not at the darkest of times
So you take your pills and poison
Drink yourself to death
Give yourself away until you ain’t got nothing left
Because who am I to say that there’s anything wrong with that

C...................................Em
Yeah but why do you call at such hours every time

..............C..........C/b............Am................D
Saying I don’t need no money, I’ve just been thinking of you tonight


Oh, but who am I to say?
Maybe you had good intentions at heart
Maybe you took truer aim and it was me who missed my mark
But for every word of anger, left unexplained, for every time that I turned you away
Who am I to say that it wasn’t for the better, girl?

Who am I to say?

G.........G/F...........D
Are you under the impression

G.....G/F.......D
This isn't your life?

G........G/F..........D
Do you dabble in depression?

A..............................D
Is someone twisting a knife in your back?

A...................D
Are you being attacked?

A...............Em..........................G
Oh this is a fact that you need to know, oh, oh, oh, oh

G.D....G.D.....G.D
Wilco, Wilco, Wilco will love you, baby

Are times getting tough?
Are the roads you travel rough?
Have you had enough of the old?
Tired of being exposed to the cold?
Stare at your stereo
Put on your headphones and pull out your hair, oh, oh, oh, oh

Wilco, Wilco, Wilco will love you, baby

Bm.........................................D..........D/C#
So many wars that just can't be won, oh, oh, oh

Bm..............................D...........D/C#
Even before the battle's begun, oh, oh, oh

Bm.....................................A
This is all of our arms open wide

.......................................G
Sonic shoulder for you to cry, y, y, y, y

Wilco, Wilco will love you, baby

Is someone twisting a knife in your back?
Are you being attacked?
Oh this is a fact that you need to know

Wilco, Wilco, Wilco, Wilco, Wilco will love you, baby

Son Volt - Dynamite

Capo II

...............G
when the levee goes

........D
the heart breaks away

A
mine holds back

......Bm...............................G
this loose dirt and pouring rain

.......................D
the truth is not free

.......................A
everyone must pay the price

...............G
there were diamonds

................D
there was gold in your eyes

.............A
now just silence

......Bm............................G
and broken words on the side

..............................D
the journey's never done

............A.........G
and the way is long


.....D...G...........D.........G
this love is like celebrating

......Bm..........................Em
the Fourth of July with dynamite

......Bm..........................A
the Fourth of July with dynamite

there is no right way
only the way
that keeps your mind free
every moment to count
in the living judgment day

life to live
shall not be a burden
carry it on shoulders
of long-distance trial
dreams leave the dust
no bruise coming down this time

this love is like celebrating
the Fourth of July with dynamite
the Fourth of July with dynamite

this love is like celebrating
the Fourth of July with dynamite
the Fourth of July with dynamite

Richmond Fontaine - Calm

Capo IV


................G........Em.........D
can't calm down

.........G...........Em........D
it's been years

............C
in Nevada

.................................................G.........Em........D
casinos don't hold me like they once did

.............................C
and barely my girlfriend

........................................G........Em........D
with her quiet laugh and strong will

.......................C
it seems like all the bars

............................................D
must be dark and the music must be cold(?)


G........G/F#..............Em..........C
I'm not trying to push anything down

G.........G/F#.......Em.............C
I'm just trying to calm down

.....G...........G/F#..............Em.........C
and I'm not trying to knock anyone down


it's the uncertainty of time
claustrophobic air
surround myself in pills
that wouldn't really be me at all
so sometimes late at night
I will walk around
for a moment I'll have certainty
for a little time I will feel good

..........................Em.......G
but then I'll feel it go

....................Em..............G
and I'll blame everyone

D
that I know

but I'm not trying to put anyone down
I'm just trying to calm down
and I'm not trying to knock anyone around
I'm just trying to calm down

D

.............C............D
it's been years

..................C
and it's been years

and I'm not trying to knock anyone down
I'm just trying to calm down
and I'm not trying to put anyone down
I'm just trying to calm down

Wilco - You and I

Capo III

C...Am...C...Am


C.........Am
you and I

C.................Am
we might be strangers

C............F....................Em
however close we get sometimes

.................C
it's like we never met

F................G
but you and I

F.....................G
I think we can take it

F........Em
all the good with the bad

Am..............................F
make something that no one else has but

C..........F
you and I

C...........F
you and I

me and you
what can we do
when the words we use sometimes
are misconstrued
well I won't guess
what's coming next
I can't ever tell you
the deepest well I've ever fallen into

F
oh I don't wanna know

Em
oh I don't wanna know

F
oh I don't need to know

G
everything about you

F
oh I don't wanna know

Am.......Bb...............Am
and you don't need to know

F.........................G
that much about me

you and I
we might be strangers
however close we get sometimes
it's like we never met
but you and I
I think we can take it
all the good with the bad
make something that no one else has
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I

Jason Isbell - The Blue

E..A...B..C#m

E.......A....................B........C#m
Don't roll away that stone, girl

E.A......................B......C#m
Leave it where it lay
You think he's coming home but you know it's not today
I think the road will break me and never fill the holes,
but every time I'm saved I stop beating out a soul

C#m...................A...................E...............B
I'm too scared to ask the right questions
and too tired to fill the right shoes
so I'll take advantage of the blues
I'll take advantage of the blue

There really ain't no difference
in Michigan and Maine
If you ain't here to see this I'm missing just the same
Your skin as soft as water, same temperature as me
I'd never know I touched you if you didn't let me see

I'd crawl to meet you if you'd just stay there,
and finally have a thing I couldn't bear to lose
So I'll take advantage of the blues
I'll take advantage of the blue

Mark me up so they can see the best of me
Hold me down so I can't find a drink
Dance so I don't have to think
