Words and Music by Son Volt from the 2009 Album "American Central Dust"
The basic chord progression is simple, but I like to throw in lots of hammers and pulls
add more rhythm.
Capo 2
Am G D
Continental motion certainty, the merciful wheels
Am G D
Where the living are living on solvents and ashes
Am G D
Time chain of loneliness, half tone rebellions
Am G D
Nomadic upturns and lights, the skeleton key turns the night
G D Am C G
Antiheroes to follow too, bar and string salvation
G D Am
Throw the calendar away, gonna find a jukebox of steel
G D Am
Am G D
A still life with a bottle, a newspaper and a glass
Am G
The carrot dangles and the dance goes on, the bitters circle the
D
drain
Am G D
Emancipate the commonplace, ride high the relief roads
Am G D
Of nightfall and enchanted ends, revelry in borrowed clothes
G D Am C G
Antiheroes to follow too, bar and string salvation
G D Am
Throw the calendar away, gonna find a jukebox of steel
G D Am
