"There's a little folk, blues, indie rock, soul, bluegrass--and a whole lot of down-home harmonizing. It conjures images of old friends sitting on a porch swapping instruments and just letting the tape recorder run." - Doug Wallen
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A chord pattern that works for both his live version and album or "piano song" version as the other guy put it. It's a simple early Dylan like chord pattern. The Passed Away album I think is done mostly from old 2 track recordings. This particular song has like a muffled mellotron on it that I really love, and I like the overall, lo-fi, almost child like, feeling to it. And I love the words just as much.
the rest of the chords are straight forward, these are just the variations I use to play this song: CFEmAmC7 --- --- ---- ---- ----- 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 2 0 2 3 2 3 2 2 2 3 3 2 0 3 3 x 0 0 x --- --- ---- ---- ---- CFCFCEmAmFGC
CFCF Well I set fire to an apple tree CEmAm And put it back out like a bad memory FGC And I washed my hands in the flood
CFCF Well I took a sip of the trouble Ive stirred FEmAm And I spit it back out like a four letter word FGC And I lost my head in the fire
CFCF Well I sat up high on the walls we built EmAm And I felt just like a fool on stilts FGCC7 But I just can't get down
FEm Olives, and a pair of eyes AmF Are floating in my glass CEm And nothing has ever seemed so strange FGGm But this I know will pass
Well Ive seen as far as the eye can see And I blew my mind in the lottery But I lost my chance Well Ive been told about the fiery skies And Ive told my fair share of lies But I believe in mine Well Ive known folks as smarts as dogs And Ive known folks like bumps on logs And theyre all fine by me
Blue skies and my share of love Are somewhere in the past And nothing worth anything Is strong enough to last
Well Ive done my time for the ills Ive caused And Ive paid my dues in the bets Ive lost And Ive got room enough to die Well Ive seen as far as my eyes can see And Ive tried my hand at the mystery Yet I walk in the land of the blind Yeah I made my bed in which I lie And Ive burnt the bridge to the other side And Im standing in the light
