Cory Branan is a singer/songwriter, born in Southaven, Mississippi. He garnered comparisons to Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn, and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst with the release of his 2002 debut album The Hell You Say.
By his teens, Branan was playing hard rock and heavy metal, eventually fronting a Black Sabbath cover band. In his early 20s he began to explore the music of John Prine, a move which urged him to pick up a guitar and start writing songs. In 2000, the Memphis chapter of NARAS awarded Branan with the Phillips Award for "Newcomer of the Year.

Riff 1: Do this little walkdown between the G and A throughout the song. --3--------------| --3--------------| --------2--------| --------2--------| --2-----0--------| --3--4-----------|
FC my name is Miguel Simone GA a man who walked it alone FC at least that's what it says on the stone under G the sycamore FC my mother was dead by the time i was born GA in the black of my eyes the gypsy nurse warned FC she could already see my path torn between the sun G and the moon FC so i walked it and i walked it straight GA until i passed through so many a gate FC that not even the blame and the hate of my father G could follow
FC so roll me into my last shallow bed GA use carpenter tacks in the lid FCG waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove FC see that no roses touch my grave GA no prayers to a god i never forgave FG no final wishes, save that you CGC bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
Riff 2
FC i once knew the love of a wife GA sometimes the nectar, sometimes the knife FC but it always seemed that my life was lived G alongside of things FC three children born one hot July GA she clutched the one that did not die FC the heat and the light just passed by as i carried G the other two - F i still carry the other two
FC so roll me into my last shallow bed GA use carpenter tacks in the lid FCG waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove FC see that no roses touch my grave GA no prayers to a god i never forgave FG no final wishes, save that you CGC bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
Riff 2
FC i've seen the place where the daylight was killed GA and the blood of a blue moon lay spilled FC where hearts go quiet, memory stilled, rest is G bestowed FC it's a place where the cup passeth over for good GA and even Jesus would've hid if he could FCG in that forsaken stretch of wood they call Whiskey Grove
FC so roll me into my last shallow bed GA use carpenter tacks in the lid FCG waste not the silk on my head my lover has wove FC see that no roses touch my grave GA no prayers to a god i never forgave FG no final wishes, save that you CGC bury my body and me down by Whiskey Grove
