What the hell is a Wrinkle Neck Mule? A sophomoric phallic reference? Too easy. A pack animal used in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico to transport opium to America in the early 1900s? History channel worthy, but wrong. A band of five (or four, depending on the wind) from Richmond, Virginia carrying indie-rockish country music about the land? Eureka. Daily double.
Born somewhere on I-64 between Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia in late 1999
¡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!
Second song off the album and arguably the easiest (for guitar). There is a banjo accompaniment which I would totally tab for you if I was any good at the banjo.
CHORDS USED: A: x02220 E: 022100 E7: 022130 (Throw this in to mix it up) C#m: x46654 D: xx0232
There is a little walkdown riff played on the low E string in between playing the A and E chords that's significant to the song, and it's simple enough:
E|---3-2-0--| Play this any time you're going from an A to an E.
INTRO (Play twice):
AE
C#mDA
VERSE 1: A I just stand aside ED While you walk a hundred miles through my A Livin' room A The next chord is dischord, ED I'm sure, and the drunkards in the bathroom A drinkin' boilin' oil
CHORUS (Play twice):
A Knock knock on the door, E It's quarter to three, C#mDA The song you sing's not minor enough for me
VERSE 2: A Slip into a coma, E up half the night DA When I finally realized you weren't breathin' right. AE Just another casualty in reality, DA It'll burn goin' down just like the label read.
(Repeat CHORUS twice)
Banjo Solo:
AEDA AEDA
VERSE 3:
A I still stand aside ED While you walk a hundred miles through my A Livin' room AE The next chord is dischord, I'm sure DA And the drunkards in the bathroom drinkin' boilin' oil.
(Repeat CHORUS twice)
If you're only playing guitar, that's the end. If you're singing too, end by singing the CHORUS one more time acapella.
