Um cantor/compositor conhecido por seu rico e expressivo barítono, o nativo de Nova Jérsei John Gorka foi uma das principais luzes do novo movimento do folk. John começou sua carreira enquanto frequentava a faculdade em Pensilvânia no começo dos anos 80, aparecendo em noites de open-mike em um café local antes de eventualmente formar seu próprio grupo, The Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band. Logo ele caiu na estrada, performando pela Costa Leste de cima

Raven In the Storm
written by John Gorka and Geoff Bartley performed by John Gorka from "Land of the Bottom Line"
He plays this with a capo on the 1st fret (or tunes up). I've chorded it as if played in the first position.
Intro: EmDCD (4x)
|-------------------------------------| h = hammer on |-------------------------------------| |----5-h353----0----------------------| Played with |-3----------5---3---6--h565--0--2----| capo on 1st fret |----------------------------------3--| Solo is similar |-------------------------------------| Verse:
EmDCD I'm the latest apparition
EmDCD Cutting slices in the night
EmDCD I come through without permission
EmDCD Moving in and out of sight
I'm the tapping on your shoulder I'm the raven in the storm I'll take shelter in your rafters I'm the shiver when you're warm
Chorus:
GD I'm the gold in California
CD I'm the well in Mexico
GD Like the vultures in the valley
C I will wait for you to go
EmDCD (4x)
I'm the gypsy in your pocket I'm the horseman in your dreams I'm the reason dogs are barking I'm the hand that stops the scream
I'm the baby's cry that isn't I am the distant relative I'm the scratching in the ceiling I'm advice you shouldn't give
Chorus:
I'm the ghost of a traveling salesman My foot will be there in your door Though I can walk through walls and windows I will knock just like before
I'm the darkness in your daughter I'm the spot beneath the skin I'm the scarlet on the pavement I am the broken heart within
Chorus:
I won't take a train to nowhere I will not touch just anyone Ask a stranger why I'm waiting In the chamber of a gun
Hint: At first, the strum pattern in the Verse/Intro seemed somewhat awkward. Hitting all the "D" chords on the UP stroke rather than the DOWN stroke seems right.
