Biography:
Cory Branan is a singer/songwriter, born in Southaven, Mississippi. He garnered comparisons to Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn, and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst with the release of his 2002 debut album The Hell You Say.
By his teens, Branan was playing hard rock and heavy metal, eventually fronting a Black Sabbath cover band.

F C G
F C
my name is Miguel Simone
G A
a man who walked it alone
F C
at least that's what it says on the stone under
G
the sycamore
F C
my mother was dead by the time i was born
G A
in the black of my eyes the gypsy nurse warned
F C
she could already see my path torn between the sun
G
and the moon
F C
so i walked it and i walked it straight
G A
until i passed through so many a gate
F C
that not even the blame and the hate of my father
G
could follow
F C
so roll me into my last shallow bed
G A
use carpenter tacks in the lid
F C G
waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove
F C
see that no roses touch my grave
G A
no prayers to a god i never forgave
F G
no final wishes, save that you
C G C
bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
Riff 2
F C
i once knew the love of a wife
G A
sometimes the nectar, sometimes the knife
F C
but it always seemed that my life was lived
G
alongside of things
F C
three children born one hot July
G A
she clutched the one that did not die
F C
the heat and the light just passed by as i carried
G
the other two -
F
i still carry the other two
F C
so roll me into my last shallow bed
G A
use carpenter tacks in the lid
F C G
waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove
F C
see that no roses touch my grave
G A
no prayers to a god i never forgave
F G
no final wishes, save that you
C G C
bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
Riff 2
F C
i've seen the place where the daylight was killed
G A
and the blood of a blue moon lay spilled
F C
where hearts go quiet, memory stilled, rest is
G
bestowed
F C
it's a place where the cup passeth over for good
G A
and even Jesus would've hid if he could
F C G
in that forsaken stretch of wood they call Whiskey Grove
F C
so roll me into my last shallow bed
G A
use carpenter tacks in the lid
F C G
waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove
F C
see that no roses touch my grave
