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!
***On the record, Farrar plays this in an alternate tuning (a la Nick Drake). However, this is how the band plays it live. These chords are taken from watching Farrar play the song live in Asheville, NC on 3/14/2017. Video can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFMfcQGoFzk (song begins at 50:47 mark).
[Intro] EmADG/BEmAD
[Verse] DG/B Don't get down when the cavalry doesn't arrive EmD That's only in Hollywood and they didn't get it right DEm There will be damage, there will be hell to pay AD Light after darkness, that is the way
[Verse] DG/B The air is colder closer to the ground EmD Find your footing and leave your doubts DEm There will be damage, there will be hell to pay AD Light after darkness, that is the way
[Verse] DG/B Promise the world to each other, to obey EmD In the end it matters, it's worth the fight DEm There will be damage, there will be hell to pay AD Light after darkness, that is the way
[Verse] DG/B We all move mountains that stand in the way EmD Just part of being here, making things right DEm There will be damage, there will be hell to pay AD Light after darkness, that is the way
