Biography:
Goodnight, Texas is the transcontinental garage appalachian collaboration of San Francisco’s Avi Vinocur (formerly of The Stone Foxes) and North Carolina’s Patrick Dyer Wolf. Previously known as P. Wolf and Avi, both songwriters are old souls in modern bodies: the duo pays as much homage to 19th and early 20th century folk, and blues, as to The Tallest Man on Earth, Ryan Adams, and The Fleet Foxes. Their pre-debut LP Coattails (2010) is a stripped-down and earthen set, in turn raucous and sparse.

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!
This version still has some kinks and is far from being perfect, but it's the only
one and it is at least an easy version to sing along to. If you have any suggestions
on how to improve it please do tell and I'll happily change it.

[Verse]
Am G F Am
Dearest Sarah I'm compelled to write with aching fearful hands
Am G F
Just in case I never make it back
Am G F
I left our family weeks ago for battle stricken lands
Am G Am
And I fear I wont survive the next attack
Am G F Am
I fled Rhode Island willingly to join the Union force
Am G F
Understanding I may never know my boys
Am G F Am
But this country's strength of government is in a great divorce
Am G Am
And for this I risk my life and all its joys
Am G F Am
Oh Sarah I do understand within my sacrifice
Am G F
Goes nearly every joy for you as well
Am G F Am
But I hope you sense within my words I thought about it twice
Am G Am
But our nation cast a thick momentus spell
[Chorus]
Am G
Oh Sarah start a life without me
Am G
Raise our boys to gentlemen
Am G F Am
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again
Am G
Understand my inner fight
Am G
I didn't choose the war
Am G
I sided with democracy
F C
As that is what I'm dying for
F Am C
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless
G Am
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless
[Instrumental]
Am G Am
Am G Am
[Verse]
Am G F Am
Growing up without my father weighed heavy on my brain
Am G F
And I dread this makes my children dance that waltz
Am G F Am
And I'm sure at times your trust was breached and your love for me did wane
Am G Am
But I ask you to forgive me for these faults
Am G F Am
And I can't express the irony of the peaceful summer breeze
Am G F
Dusting my batallion as they rest
Am G F C
'Cause within this evening warmness lies a dark and icy freeze
D Am
That whispered me to send you this request
[Chorus]
Am G
Oh Sarah start a life without me
Am G
Raise our boys to gentlemen
Am G F Am
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again
Am G
Understand my inner fight
Am G
I didn't choose the war
Am G
I sided with democracy
F C
As that is what I'm dying for
F C
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless
G Am
Oh Sarah - it's deathless
[Verse]
Am G F Am
I am one of hundred thousand paying all that we can pay
Am G F
Standing for an object we can't see
Am G F Am
Now raise our children proudly to be graceous for each day
Am G Am
And remind them of the reasons they are free
Am G F Am
If it's true the dead can drift unseen around the loves they had
Am G F
Then I will be the wind upon your cheek
Am G F Am
And the darkest moments in your life will never be so bad
Am G Am
Cause I will be your strength when you are weak
[Chorus]
Am G
Oh Sarah start a life without me
Am G
Raise our boys to gentlemen
Am G F Am
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again
Am G
Understand my inner fight
Am G
I didn't choose the war
Am G
I sided with democracy
F C
As that is what I'm dying for
F C
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless

Oh Sarah - it's deathless
