John Hiatt, nacido en Indiana, es un compositor y guitarrista citado como una influencia por artistas tales como Bonnie Raitt, The Neville Brothers, Dr. Feelgood e Iggy Pop. Este hombre que comenzó su carrera en 1974 con el disco "Hangin' Around The Observatory", ha publicado una docena de álbumes, aunque su apasionada visión del rock y su penetrante e íntima alma country nunca le proporcionaron gran éxito. La crítica, sin embargo, alabó trabajos como "Bring The Family" y "Stolen Moments".
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
A great song...and by no coincidence transcribed on my 30th birthday. This is a waltz (¾ time), listen to the CD for timing and the chord pattern. In the intro and between lines of the verse for the chord change from G to Cadd9, play the G (320033), lift your first two fingers and strum the A7sus4(x00033), then hammer the 1st and 2nd fingers to the Cadd9(x32033).
Intro and Riff 1: G A7sus4 Cadd9 (see performance notes)
GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 Is this a place I can rest my poor head, GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 To gather my thoughts in sweet si......lence? GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 Is this a place where the feelings aren't dead, GEm7Dsus2 From an overexposure to violence? Dsus4/AG5/BCadd9G5/B And is this a place I can slowly face Dsus4/AG5/BCadd9 The only one I truly can know?
GCadd9G These are tears from a long time ago, Cadd9GCadd9G I've got these tears from a long time ago, Cadd9GDDsus4DEm7 and I need to cry thirty years or so. GCadd9DDsus4G These are tears from a long time ago.
Cadd9G5/BDsus4/A
GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 "Oh, Darling, Oh, darling" you say unto me, GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 "Oh, Where have you been all my life...time?" GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 Well, I have been swimmin' the seven sad seas, GEm7Dsus2 Fair women have thrown me their lifelines, Dsus4/AG5/BCadd9G5/B And I just pulled them in to the water's dark grin, Dsus4/AG5/BCadd9 I'd have warned 'em but I didn't know.
GCadd9G These are tears from a long time ago, Cadd9GCadd9G I've got these tears from a long time ago, Cadd9GDDsus4DEm7 and I need to cry thirty years or so. GCadd9DDsus4G These are tears from a long time ago.

GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 Well, I've cried me a river, I've cried me a lake, GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 Hell, I cried 'til the past nearly drowned me. GEm7Cadd9G Riff 1 Tears for sad consequence, tears for mistakes, GEm7Dsus2 But never these tears that surround me. Dsus4/AG5/BCadd9G5/B Alone in this place with a lifetime to trace, Dsus4/AG5/BCadd9 And a heartbeat that tells me it's so.
