Cracks and Seams - Wrinkle Neck Mules
Track 9 - Let the Lead Fly (2009)
Standard Tuning - no capo.
Check out the song to get the strumming timing right - it's important.
The D chord is played throughout the verses. To mimic the sound of the mandolin
during the verses, you can stretch your pinky and turn the D into a D5/A
(use your discretion - it sounds good, but hurts like hell after a while).

D
Vagabonds and it’s hard to hear
D
With the line drawn from over there
D
To the middle of the road the first bars of night
D
Creeping in.....
[Chorus]
G
or is it daylight?
D
Or is it daylight?
A
We’ll dry out
G
We’ll dry out
D
In the cracks and seams
A
We’ll dry out
G
We’ll dry out
D
In the cracks and seams
[Verse]
D
With your heart of water and your face of stone
D
We won’t loiter we’ll soon be gone
D
To the center of the earth, to Orion’s belt
D
It’s not till morning.....
[Chorus]
G
that the pain is felt
D
That the pain is felt
A
We’ll dry out
G
We’ll dry out
D
In the cracks and seams

We’ll dry out

We’ll dry out

In the cracks and seams

[Verse]
N.C.
You go on - I’ll lag behind
D
While the saw blades turn and the waters dry
D
You light the torches, I’ll dream the dreams
D
And sing the songs....
[Chorus]
G
of smoke and steam
D
Smoke and steam

Won't you help me dry out?
