Track 1 - Big Red Barn
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C G
Sittin’ all alone in my big red barn
F C G C
Entertaining critters who don’t give a darn
G C G
Singing for ducks and geese and chickens
F C N.C. G
Bayin’ like a hound and playing like the (one, two, three, four) dickens
[Chorus]
C D
Poor little me, sittin’ in the dust
G C
Oh, no one to help me, no one to trust
D
Sittin’ in the shadow, yearnin’ for the sun
C D N.C. G
Oh, nothing, nix, nil, naught, not even one
[Verse 2]
C G
Just dust and feathers and why and whethers
F C G
Just “Get to work”, no get-togethers
C G
Scores of chores, scores of yokels and boors
F N.C. F C G
Love’s never going to knock on these barn doors
[Chorus]
C D
Poor little me, should be sittin’ by the sea
G C
No k-i-s-s-i-n-g
D
No l-u-v, no fun, fun, fun
C D N.C. G
No, no one to hold tight, not even one
[Instrumental]
G C G F C G F C G C D G
[Verse 3]
C G
This big red barn is startin’ to lean
F C G
But I’m sittin here rockin’ like a barnyard queen
C G
Roof’s caved in and floor’s rotted through
F C G
Just held together with cobweb glue
[Chorus]
C D
Poor little me, sittin’ in the dust
G C
Got no one to help me, no one to trust
D
Sittin’ in the shadow, yearnin’ for the sun
C D N.C. G
No, nothing, nix, nil, naught, zero, zilch, none
[Instrumental]
G C G F C G F C G C D G C D C D G
[Verse 4]
C G
The big red barn finally fell to the ground
F C G
And I packed while ducks quacked all around
C G
Sold the chickens for a ticket and a new bikini
F C G
Flew south with the geese, hope no one seen me
[Chorus]
C D
Poor little me, finally sittin’ by the sea
G C
Just k-i-s-s-i-n-g
D
They’re gettin’ in line, one by one
C D N.C. D G
Oh, he’s next, you’re done
=================================================================
Track 2 - Shepherd's Hill
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C
Some days the trail I follow grows too narrow and too dense
G C
And I can’t always walk along the top rail of the fence
G C
There are times I can’t move forward, times I can’t back out
G F C G
There are times I can’t fly high, beyond a shadow of a doubt
[Verse 2]
C
Stubbornly, I struggle on, not knowing what’s ahead
G C
With the tangle still around me when at night I find my bed
G C
I toss and turn, and turn and toss, and hold my pillow tight
G F C G
Oh, it’s then I go a-walking, I go walking late at night
[Chorus]
C G
I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still
Em C G C
And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd’s Hill
G Bm C G
I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss
Em D G C G C
And I sleep underneath a wooden cross
[Verse 3]
G C
The good shepherd whispers secrets in my ear
G C
Like a breeze, holy secrets, only I can hear
G C
When the morning sun comes softly, I’ll be in my own hard bed
G F C G
But his gentle voice will linger in my soul and in my head
[Verse 4]
C
And I’ll rush into the new day, like a penny candy store
G C
Like the greenest adolescent, who doesn’t know the score
G C
But I know where to find him when nothing’s going right
G F C G
Oh, I know that he’ll be there, when I go walking late at night
[Chorus]
C G
I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still
Em C G C
And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd’s Hill
G Bm C G
I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss
Em D G C
And I sleep underneath a wooden cross
[Outro]
N.C. Bm C G
On Shepherd's Hill I'll rest my body under the cool and tender moss
Em D G
I lay me down underneath a wooden cross
=================================================================
Track 3 - Rose Tattoo
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
F E Am
[Verse 1]
F
The sun's gonna rise and in my cold green eyes
E7
Is the hell that I’ve been through
Am F
What I learned tonight, is that this world ain’t right
E7 Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
And the devil’s got a rose tattoo
[Verse 2]
F
Eight-fifty-one, we arrived at the club
E7 Am
I was wearing my last good dress
F
My man had bet everything he could get
E7 Am
And I was trying to get us out of the mess
F
At nine o’clock I made my walk
E7 Am
Like a tigress to the stage
F
And the people would stand like I was worth ten grand
E7 Am
And not singing for minimum wage
[Verse 3]
F
Ten minutes in, they were passing the gin
E7 Am
And the club became a roar
F
My man was having a ball, but all I recall
E7 Am
Is his face when he looked toward the door
F
I was going to town when a hush came down
E7 Am
The dance floor became a tomb
F
A woman stepped in, she was small and slim
E7 Am
But her presence filled the whole damn room
[Verse 4]
F
My man went pale like a torn up sail
E7 Am
As the woman walked right past me
F
Her dress was grey like a stormy day
E7 Am
And it flowed like a restless sea
F
I went flat on a note, I was watching her throat
E7 Am
She wore a necklace of pure jade
F
And her sleeve hung down off one side of her gown
E7 Am
To show a rose down her shoulder blade
[Bridge]
F
I lost sight of her and the rest was a blur
Am
As I sang and paced the stage
F
Eleven-o'-one, I was finally done
E7
And I sprung like a cat from a cage
F
He was gone from there, so I searched everywhere
Am
Till I found a girl I knew
D F
She said, "He left your show about an hour ago
E7 Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
With a woman with a rose tattoo"
[Verse 5]
F
I walked the street till I was dead on my feet
E7 Am
And I hit every joint I knew
F
I heard a man say, "I saw that woman in grey
E7 Am
I think her name is Penny LaRue"
F
Where she’s been and what’s her sin
E7 Am
No one in New Orleans knows
F
All they can tell, is she’s an angel from hell
E7 Am
With a tattoo of a rose
[Verse 6]
F
I said a prayer, let down my hair
E7 Am
I was now in the bad part of town
F
It was 3am and I followed some men
E7 Am
To a club called the Underground
F
I stepped inside, I could feel the vibe
E7 Am
There was danger in the room
F
And a whole lotta sin, sweat and skin
E7 Am
And the smell of cheap perfume
[Verse 7]
F
But through the lusty display was a woman in grey
E7 Am
Smiling like she knew
F
When she turned around, where her dress hung down
E7 Am
Was a shoulder with a rose tattoo
F
I saw the love she’d deprived me of
E7 Am
He was standing in that restless throng
F
When suddenly, he noticed me
E7 Am
But something just a-felt all wrong
[Bridge]
F
I heard a shout, a knife came out
Am
My man got in the way
F
He was dead as a door before he hit the floor
E7
While the band continued to play
F
I tried to scream, but like a horrible dream
Am D
There was nothing I could do
F
Time died, a siren cried
E7 Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
I saw a flash of a rose tattoo
[Verse 8]
F
I’m on the curb with a cop named Herb
E7 Am
Trying to sort out this mess
F
It’s five-twenty-five, I feel barely alive
E7 Am
And I’m wearing my last good dress
F
The sun’s gonna rise and in my cold green eyes
E7 Am
Is the hell I’ve been through
F
What I learned tonight, is that this world ain’t right
E7 F E7 Am
And the devil’s got a rose tattoo

Track 4 - Where Were You
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
C D
You say I’ve aged just like cherry wine_____
C D
And you wanna press your drunken lips on mine_____
Well, forbidden fruit tastes sweet when you are young
C D
You don’t care about the pain until the bee has stung______
[Chorus]
Where were you when I was calling
D
Where were you when I was naïve
Where were you when I was falling
D
Gentle like the dogwood leaves
Where were you when I was simple
D
Where were you when I was kind
Pulling up the wildflowers for you
D
Where were you when I was blind
[Verse 2]
C D
What happened to that girl who played with fireflies_____
C D
Always looking up to you with her heart in her eyes_____
Well, it only takes one shot to fear a gun
C
And few drops of sweat can make you dread the sun_____
D
Oh, dread the burning sun
[Chorus]
Where were you when I was calling
D
Where were you when I was naïve
Where were you when I was falling
D
Gentle like the dogwood leaves
Where were you when I was simple
D
Where were you when I was kind
Pulling up the wildflowers for you
D
Where were you when I was blind
[Outro]
Where were you
D
Where were you
Where were you
D
Where were you

Track 5 - Fugitive
[Intro]
Em Bm Em G Em (2x)
Em G (4x)
[Verse 1]
Em
Johnny loved his daddy's gun
Bm
He loved the farmer's daughter
Em
She loved the sheriff's only son
But loved what Johnny bought her
Em
She met the sheriff's joy and pride
Bm
They met in darkness, late
Em
While Johnny met his darker side
G
And they all would meet their fate
[Chorus]
Em
Running, but he's not a coward
G
Always hiding from his crime
Em
A step away from being devoured
G
Just a victim of his time
Em
He runs the night, his gun a blazing
G
He knows the sheriff won't forgive
Em
Hell bent on hell raising
Em G
He'll live or die a fugitive
[Verse 2]
Em
She wore a dress that Johnny bought
Bm
She wore it for the son
The son, he wore a yellow spot
G Em
And Johnny wore a gun
The sheriff's son turned pale with fright
Bm
He turned tail and fled
Em
Johnny's gun turned out his light
G Em
And turned his yellow red
[Chorus]
Em
Running, but he's not a coward
G
Always hiding from his crime
Em
A step away from being devoured
G
Just a victim of his time
Em
He runs the night, his gun a blazing
G
He knows the sheriff won't forgive
Em
Hell bent on hell raising
He'll live or die a fugitive

[Intro]
G D7 G C
C G D7 G D7 G
[Verse 1]
C G
In the forest, in the sunlight, in the untamed breeze
C G D7 G
Like kings of the earth we danced ‘neath the trees
C G
I won your heart because I knew I could
C G D7 G
And I left you there in the wild wildwood
[Chorus]
C G
I left you there in the Eden of god
C G C D7
Clothed in wind and your feet unshod
G C G
And I still recall how straight you stood
C G D7 G
When I left you there in the wild wildwood
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 2]
C G
I set you adrift on an urban sea
C G D7 G
But what you’ve become, is disturbing me
C G
I dream of eyes with dying flame
C G D7 G
I heard a night bird call your name
[Chorus]
C G
I left you there in the Eden of god
C G C D7
Clothed in wind and your feet unshod
G C G
And I still recall how straight you stood
C G D7 G
When I left you there in the wild wildwood
[Instrumental]
G C G C G D7 G (2x)
[Bridge]
C G
I’m waiting now like you waited before
C D
I’ve waited long, I’ll wait some more
G C G
No gate’s too tall, no wait’s too long
C D
No gain’s too small, no chain’s too strong___
[Chorus]
G C G
I want to walk in the Eden of god
C G C D7
Clothed in wind, my feet unshod
G C G
And I want to stand where angel’s stood
C G D7 G
And dance with you in the wild wildwood
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 3]
C G
The stars are gone and the moon’s gone too
C G D7 G
They must have given up on you
C G
As you slave away each hour by hour
C G D7 G
Are you looking for wealth or for a wildwood flower?
[Interlude]
G D G D G D G
[Outro]
N.C. C G
I want to stand where angel’s stood
C G D7 Em
And dance with you in the wild wildwood

Track 10 - Rough Road Ahead
[Intro]
D Am
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. Am
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
[Verse 1]
The half-hearted getter and the faint-hearted quitter
G Am
Both sit in the gutter and both agree
They moan and they mutter and utter so bitter
D
So double-dipped down, they’ll never get free
[Verse 2]
Am
Locked out, knocked out, feet up like a beat pup
G Am
Ride to your ruin in an old rockin’ chair
Rock till you’re clocked out, eat your defeat up
G Am
Slide some more glue in, ‘cause you ain’t got a prayer
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. D
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
[Verse 3]
Am
Don’t let the dawn’s light break upon a lost fight
G Am
You gotta get freed from life’s stampede
Goin’ on, on and on, going, going, going, gone
D
Gotta take the lead at breakneck speed
[Verse 4]
Am
Zig-zag a tail spinner, don’t brag before dinner
G Am
Last to the last and show what you know
Not a rag-tag beginner, but an in-the-bag winner
G Am
Goin’ too fast and can’t find slow
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. Am
Or you will tread the rough road ahead

Her dress was grey like a stormy day
E7 Am
And it flowed like a restless sea
F
I went flat on a note, I was watching her throat
E7 Am
She wore a necklace of pure jade
F
And her sleeve hung down off one side of her gown
E7 Am
To show a rose down her shoulder blade
[Bridge]
F
I lost sight of her and the rest was a blur
Am
As I sang and paced the stage
F
Eleven-o'-one, I was finally done
E7
And I sprung like a cat from a cage
F
He was gone from there, so I searched everywhere
Am
Till I found a girl I knew
D F
She said, "He left your show about an hour ago
E7 Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
With a woman with a rose tattoo"
[Verse 5]
F
I walked the street till I was dead on my feet
E7 Am
And I hit every joint I knew
F
I heard a man say, "I saw that woman in grey
E7 Am
I think her name is Penny LaRue"
F
Where she’s been and what’s her sin
E7 Am
No one in New Orleans knows
F
All they can tell, is she’s an angel from hell
E7 Am
With a tattoo of a rose
[Verse 6]
F
I said a prayer, let down my hair
E7 Am
I was now in the bad part of town
F
It was 3am and I followed some men
E7 Am
To a club called the Underground
F
I stepped inside, I could feel the vibe
E7 Am
There was danger in the room
F
And a whole lotta sin, sweat and skin
E7 Am
And the smell of cheap perfume
[Verse 7]
F
But through the lusty display was a woman in grey
E7 Am
Smiling like she knew
F
When she turned around, where her dress hung down
E7 Am
Was a shoulder with a rose tattoo
F
I saw the love she’d deprived me of
E7 Am
He was standing in that restless throng
F
When suddenly, he noticed me
E7 Am
But something just a-felt all wrong
[Bridge]
F
I heard a shout, a knife came out
Am
My man got in the way
F
He was dead as a door before he hit the floor
E7
While the band continued to play
F
I tried to scream, but like a horrible dream
Am D
There was nothing I could do
F
Time died, a siren cried
E7 Am F E7 Am F E7 Am
I saw a flash of a rose tattoo
[Verse 8]
F
I’m on the curb with a cop named Herb
E7 Am
Trying to sort out this mess
F
It’s five-twenty-five, I feel barely alive
E7 Am
And I’m wearing my last good dress
F
The sun’s gonna rise and in my cold green eyes
E7 Am
Is the hell I’ve been through
F
What I learned tonight, is that this world ain’t right
E7 F E7 Am
And the devil’s got a rose tattoo

CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
C D
You say I’ve aged just like cherry wine_____
C D
And you wanna press your drunken lips on mine_____
Well, forbidden fruit tastes sweet when you are young
C D
You don’t care about the pain until the bee has stung______
[Chorus]
Where were you when I was calling
D
Where were you when I was naïve
Where were you when I was falling

Gentle like the dogwood leaves
Where were you when I was simple
D
Where were you when I was kind
Pulling up the wildflowers for you
D
Where were you when I was blind
[Verse 2]
C D
What happened to that girl who played with fireflies_____
C D
Always looking up to you with her heart in her eyes_____
Well, it only takes one shot to fear a gun
C
And few drops of sweat can make you dread the sun_____
D
Oh, dread the burning sun
[Chorus]
Where were you when I was calling
D
Where were you when I was naïve
Where were you when I was falling

Gentle like the dogwood leaves
Where were you when I was simple

Pulling up the wildflowers for you

Where were you when I was blind

Em G (4x)
[Verse 1]

Johnny loved his daddy's gun

He loved the farmer's daughter

She loved the sheriff's only son
But loved what Johnny bought her

She met the sheriff's joy and pride

They met in darkness, late

While Johnny met his darker side
G
And they all would meet their fate
[Chorus]
Em
Running, but he's not a coward
G
Always hiding from his crime
Em
A step away from being devoured

Just a victim of his time

He runs the night, his gun a blazing

He knows the sheriff won't forgive
Em
Hell bent on hell raising
Em G
He'll live or die a fugitive
[Verse 2]
Em
She wore a dress that Johnny bought
Bm
She wore it for the son
The son, he wore a yellow spot
G Em
And Johnny wore a gun
The sheriff's son turned pale with fright
Bm
He turned tail and fled
Em
Johnny's gun turned out his light
G Em
And turned his yellow red
[Chorus]
Em
Running, but he's not a coward
G
Always hiding from his crime
Em
A step away from being devoured
G
Just a victim of his time

He runs the night, his gun a blazing

He knows the sheriff won't forgive

Hell bent on hell raising
He'll live or die a fugitive

Track 10 - Rough Road Ahead
[Intro]
D Am
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. Am
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
[Verse 1]
The half-hearted getter and the faint-hearted quitter
G Am
Both sit in the gutter and both agree
They moan and they mutter and utter so bitter
D
So double-dipped down, they’ll never get free
[Verse 2]
Am
Locked out, knocked out, feet up like a beat pup
G Am
Ride to your ruin in an old rockin’ chair
Rock till you’re clocked out, eat your defeat up
G Am
Slide some more glue in, ‘cause you ain’t got a prayer
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. D
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
[Verse 3]
Am
Don’t let the dawn’s light break upon a lost fight
G Am
You gotta get freed from life’s stampede
Goin’ on, on and on, going, going, going, gone
D
Gotta take the lead at breakneck speed
[Verse 4]
Am
Zig-zag a tail spinner, don’t brag before dinner
G Am
Last to the last and show what you know
Not a rag-tag beginner, but an in-the-bag winner
G Am
Goin’ too fast and can’t find slow
[Chorus]
N.C. Am
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still
G Am
Just ride that thrill right up the hill
Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled
G N.C. Am
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
