Biography:
Elle King is an anti-folk artist.
Born in Ohio and raised in Brooklyn by her mother (after separating from her father, comedian Rob Schneider), she retains her roots in a style that blends those two worlds of both grit and mid-western charm. She often draws comparisons to Billie Holiday, Duffy, Regina Spektor and Adele. Miss King cites old blues, rock n' roll, and greats like Johnny Cash as her biggest influences.
Featured in an issue of Love magazine and February's V Magazine as well as creating buzz amongst music bloggers everywhere.

[Intro]
Am C Dm Am
[Verse]
Am C Dm F Am
You prayed to have your name scattered on the lips of the young
C Dm F Am
Now you claim that it's you on the tips of their tongue
C Dm F
And if you're proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill
Am C Dm F E7
Well, bet it stings to give up everything and realize that they don't want you
[Chorus]
Am C
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Dm Am
Where your misery finds its company
Am C
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Dm E7 Am
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Post-Chorus]
C Dm F Am
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
C Dm F Am
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse]
C Dm F Am
The hollow sound is ringing where your heart used to beat
C Dm F Am
Have you found that your admiration will never set you free?
C Dm F Am
Get your lies prepared, you're next in line for judgement day now
C Dm F E7
Aren't you praying, aren't you begging that you're anyone else?
[Chorus]
Am C
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Dm Am
Where your misery finds its company
Am C
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Dm E7 Am
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Post-Chorus]
C Dm F Am
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
C Dm F Am
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
C Dm F Am
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
C Dm F
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]

Well I bet you're sorry now
F#m7-5 F
Well you did this to yourself
Am C/G
Well I bet you're sorry now
F#m7-5 F
Well aren't you sorry now?
[Chorus]
Am C
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Dm Am
Where your misery finds its company
Am C
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Dm E7
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Chorus]
Am C
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Dm Am
Where your misery finds its company
Am C
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Dm E7 Am
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Outro]
C Dm F Am
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
C Dm F Am
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse]
G D C
It's good to be a man these days
G D C
Don't have no conscience about my evil ways
G D C
Don't ever feel bad for the awful things I say
G D C
It's good to be a man these days
G D C
To be a man would be serene
G D C
Drinking beer till I get mean
G D C
Chewing tobacco, kissing girls like life's a dream
G D C
To be a man would be serene
[Chorus]

And I bet it gets tiring
G D C
Always having to be right
G D C
Well I'd love to be a cheating man
G D C G D C
To fill those lonely nights
[Verse]
G D C
To be a man would be just fine
G D C
My only worry would be my receding hair line
G D C
I only give love that's on my own time
G D C
To be a man would be just fine
G D C
To be a man would be damn good
G D C
I'd do dumb things cause I should
G D C
Getting stuck in a ditch like my woman knew I would
G D C
To be a man would be damn good
[Coda]
