Banda norte-america de alternative-country, que se caracterizava, em seus primeiros trabalhos, pelos duetos entre os vocalistas Mark Olson e Gary Louris. Com Olson fora da banda desde 1995, boa parte do country foi deixado de lado em prol de composições mais próximas do powerpop. Uma das formações mais clássicas do grupo, com Mark Olson, Gary Louris, Marc Perlman, Karen Grotberg e Tim O’Reagan, se reuniu no final de 2010 para uma série de shows.

Martin's Song The Jayhawks
from "Hollywood Town Hall" (American Recordings, 1992) transcribed by John Davidson and someone else who deserves credit...can't remember who that was...
Intro
GAmDAm x2
Verse 1
GAmDG He's only six years old, that old Killer died. GAmDG Put him down in a great big hole, I'm filling up all the time. GAmDG See the buildings rise up to the sky, Parking meters, traffic cops. GAmDG You'd best watch your record son, they'll come an' lock you up.
Chorus GD I've been working all night. CG I go along into the day. GD Ain't got much money now. CAm7G Got the time ahead, I got the time ahead to pay
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill. Don't talk to strangers, that's all you know. Forty years of Sun death, the daylights still not over yet. You should live to see evening fall, doctors working overtime. Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building blocks.
Repeat chorus
The above is the "Hollywood Town Hall" version, on "Blue Earth" the second verse is slightly different, some of the lyrics are difficult to make out but I think it is the following :-
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill. Don't talk to strangers, girl take the pill Forty years of Sun death, acid rain is falling on my head. Bush raids on the rise, doctors working overtime. Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building blocks.
