Biography:
What the hell is a Wrinkle Neck Mule? A sophomoric phallic reference? Too easy. A pack animal used in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico to transport opium to America in the early 1900s? History channel worthy, but wrong. A band of five (or four, depending on the wind) from Richmond, Virginia carrying indie-rockish country music about the land? Eureka. Daily double.
Born somewhere on I-64 between Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia in late 1999

Patience in the Shadows - Wrinkle Neck Mules
Track 5 - Apprentice to Ghosts (2012)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Tuning; no capo. All chords are power chords (5ths).
Best to give the song a listen to get a feel for it.
Riff 1 is played once per line of each verse, except where chords are indicated
(Verse 4 is a little more noodley, but Riff 1 still works fine).

[VERSE 1]
N.C.
Puff my chest to fill my lungs up
Spread my hands as if they’re wings
Everything's in doubt again
Feel the back tires spin
[VERSE 2]
N.C.
On the dirty couch once again I lie awake
The morning sucks the nighttime dry
Well it’s good that it’s overcast today
But I’m at home....
A5
But I’m at home if I close my eyes
A5 E5
But I’m at home if I close my eyes
[CHORUS]
E5 D5 A5
Patience in the shadows
A5 B5 A5 E5
And driving nails into thin air
E5 D5 A5
Patience in the shadows
A5 B5 A5 E5
And driving nails into thin air
[VERSE 3]
N.C.
Silently in the backrooms we wait
Paragraphs of nods and grins
I hope we can stand when it’s time to go on
But it’s alright.....
A5
But it’s alright if we don’t even try
A5 E5
But it’s alright if we don’t even try
[CHORUS]
E5 D5 A5
Patience in the shadows
A5 B5 A5 E5
And driving nails into thin air
E5 D5 A5
Patience in the shadows
A5 B5 A5 E5
And driving nails into thin air
[BRIDGE]
A5 B5 D5 B5
Well, I guess we’ve made no progress
D5 A5 E5
The same talk we had 18 years ago
A5 B5 D5 B5
Let’s just get our guns and rob them
D5 A5 E5
And hope to hell our cover, it is not blown
