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.

Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1] DG Walkin down Main Street, gettin' to know the concrete AD Lookin for a purpose from a neon sign. G I would meet you anywhere western sun meets the air AD I'll hit the road, never lookin' behind.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

[Verse 2] DG Seein' traces of the scars that came before AD written in the pavement, still askin' for more G when the hours don't move along, worn-out wood and familiar songs AD To hear your voice is not enough, is more than a shame.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
[Solo] DEmGD DEmAD
[Verse 3] DG Like a man said, rode hard and put away wet AD throw away the bad news and put it to rest G If learnin' is livin', and the truth is a state of mind AD you'll find it's better at the end of the line.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

DEm St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
