Ramshackle Glory are a punk rock band from Tucson, USA formed in early 2011. Their music is marked by unconventional instrumentation, an emphasis on lyrical content, and low-quality equipment. The band self-releases music on Savage Wasteland, a collective label run by members of the band, as well as cooperating with friends at Plan-It-X Records and DIY Bandits.

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!
All credit to Pat and the gang for the song, check out their website for all the names and such.
This song's in 3/4 time and it's a pretty simple folky tune, any questions to [email protected], hope you like the song as much as I do.
[Intro]
[EBA] x2
[Verse]
[EBA]
EBA The trains roll by my porch
EBA Down here where nothing can live
EB And I've been smoking too much
C#mA Because I am no exception
EBA You knew that already, I think
If you want salvation Then you ought to go see a priest 'Cause forgiveness from those that we hurt In this world never was guaranteed
[Chorus]
[EC#mBA]
EC#m I'm coming home, it's late again
BA I'm high as I've ever been
EC#m You're sitting up, you're in our bed
BA Crying for a ghost again
EC#m No room could be as dark
BA Or as empty as ours is
EC#m 'Cause I'm at home but I'm not here
BA And I never am
[Verse]
[EBA]
I wonder how many friends Roll past my house in the night? In boxcars they sleep With hearts stashed in their backpacks They'll make California all right A promise from me Is just a lie I ain't told yet So I'm ready to die But I'm not willing to watch You watch me die here in our bed
[Chorus]
[EC#mBA]
I'm lying down, I've been nodding out Since I don't know when The lights are on, you're standing up Screaming at a ghost again Darling, I'm home; hell I ain't left This house of ours in days But I'm not here; I never am So I just can't stay
[Outro]
[EC#mAB]
EC#mA My darling, I'm never coming back
B From where I'm going
EC#mA [You can play the B here, I usually don't] My darling, I'm never coming home
EC#mA My darling, I'm never coming back
B From where I'm going
EC#mA My darling, I'm never coming home
B [I usually finish on E but improvising a bit is nice] Never coming home again
