Jay Farrar fundó Son Volt tras la separación de la famosa banda de country Uncle Tupelo (1987-1994). Editaron su debut en 1995 titulado "Trace" y en 1997 sacaron "Straightaways", ambos disfrutaron de parabienes tanto de la crítica como del público. Sin embargo, tras el lanzamiento de "Wide Swing Tremolo" (1998), empezaron los rumores de su separación. Farrar se lanzó en solitario antes de reformar Son Volt, con un nuevo equipo, en el 2004. El resultado fue el lanzamiento del político álbum "Okemah and the Melody of Riot".
¡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!
***Farrar plays this with capo on 1, as seen in the official video for the song. I think it sounds equally good and is much easier to play with capo on 3, so that's what I've done below.
We’ve [D] tried to [G] guide each [D] day through [G] life Hearts were [D] tried but [G] always [A] true [G] Shifting fate left us to realize There’s nothing more that we could [D] do
They say it [D] can’t go wrong [G] But we [D] can’t go right [G] Always a [D] common thread [G] bet[C]ween us
Though our [G] hearts and minds don’t [D] waver Waiting for [D] love That’s [A] out of [D] danger [A] [D]
[D] Circumstance [G] [D] Left to chance [G] That’s when the [D] romance [G] fires did [A] burn [G] Deal’s gone down so we wait around Waiting for two to [D] learn
Making our [G] days [D] living this way [G] So much to [D] gain, [G] so [C] much to lose
Though our [G] hearts and minds don’t [D] waver Waiting for [D] love That’s [A] out of [D] danger [A] [D]
