The Wisconsin state motto is simple - “Forward.” Milwaukee’s own .357 String Band epitomizes this spirit. Established in 2004, they have brought their inimitably relentless style of Americana from the West Coast of the United States to as far east as Serbia, playing over 600 shows in 10 different countries, and honing their razor sharp sound and adrenaline-fueled live show with a grueling tour schedule. Anything but derivative, The .357 String Band pays homage to both the dark roots of Americana - the fatalistic murder ballads
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!

Em - C - G - G (Intro)
EmCG Black river blues
EmCG My cheatin' heart's being torn in two
EmCG I'd love to stay with you a while
AmCG - D - G - G But I gotta burn one thousand black river miles
EmC Before I sleep
G Before I rest
EmCG Cause I got two loves burnin' holes inside my chest
EmCG There is something you know I gotta do
AmCG - D - G - G Before I lay me down and sleep here beside you
EmCG When I get home
EmCG When I get home
EmCG When I get home
EmCG There's a two lane highway in my mind
EmCG My heart's divided by white lines
EmCG So what am I supposed to do
AmCG - D - G - G When the lane I love is the lane takes me farther from you
EmC And that black river's
G Callin' my name
EmCG And if I don't go I know I'll go insane
EmCG And I'll walk a thousand miles in these worn out shoes
AmCG - D - G - G And then I'll lay me down and sleep here beside you
