Biography:
Son Volt is an alternative country group which formed in 1994 in St. Louis, Missouri. The band currently consists of Jay Farrar (vocals, guitar), Chris Masterson (guitar), Andrew Duplantis (bass, vocals), Mark Spencer (keyboards) and Dave Bryson (drums). Farrar is the only original member remaining in the band.
Son Volt formed after the breakup of the band Uncle Tupelo, owing to the simmering creative differences between songwriters Farrar and Jeff Tweedy.

INTRO (same as chorus):
[D] [A] [G]
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
No wage can [D] buy what the world never wanted
Hearts press [G] on anyway undaunted
Where there’s [D] smoke there’s fire, faith has charm
But faith can de[A]stroy
By and [D] by all the threads are sewn
Dark [G] clouds make their presence known
[D] Stand by the fire and just [A] hope
That it doesn’t [D] burn out
CHORUS
When the [D] world is not what it [A] seems
On the [G] outside looking in on a dream
Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the wild spirit [A] still
When the [D] world around caves [A] in
Lights will [G] shine, let your life begin
Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the [Asus2] wild spirit [D] still
GUITAR/FIDDLE BREAK (same as intro):
[D] [A] [G]
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
No matter [D] what you set out to find
There’s compe[G]tition down the line
The [D] crime of one might be salt of the earth to [A] nine
Makes no [D] difference what others say and do
The path goes [G] on showing the way for you
The [D] sign says redemption ahead
[A] Straight on [D] through
CHORUS
When the [D] world is not what it [A] seems
On the [G] outside looking in on a dream
Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the wild spirit [A] still
When the [D] world around caves [A] in
Lights will [G] shine, let your life begin
Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the [Asus2] wild spirit [D] still
