Diamonds and Things

This is a cover of Shakey Graves' "Georgia Moon" off of his debut full length album "Roll The Bones".

This has been one of my favorite tunes for sometime now and I finally sat down and picked it out. It's such a beautiful and fun song to play that I added two more verses. It's my attempt at an ending the story Shakey has written in this song.

Big thanks to syphaxe of ultimate-guitar for posting the chords to this one! 

**Translated lyrics

I got on the train to go see my kids
I had no passport but enough smarts
Only boarders close themselves without demand

The firemen found me in a ditch
My face bloodied up and my heart well broke
And just the next morning I found myself incarcerated again

 

Georgia Moon cover (w/ extra verse)

This is a brand new song I recorded on my phone. Added a little banjo and there you have it. 

Here are the lyrics:

Well there ain't much time for leavin'
When the wolves are in your sights
I know the backdoor's meant for thievin'
Cause we wear that sheeps disguise
And forgive the vultures
that feed with such ease
but I cannot let 'em eat me alive
If the rain could fall any harder 
Wil you keep me in your light
I'd rather pack my things and head to Cleveland
Than spend another hour in your lies
And I swear to God 
As you grow old
Don't send me my invite
And I'm wodnerin' in the mornin'
Will they come and cut me down
Well I've seen all there is to see
and I saw it without 'em
Well you can think what you think about nothin'
I don't think that I'll bleed when you finally concede that we're strugglin'
Well there ain't much time for leavin'
When the dogs begin to bite
I know the backdoor's made for thievin'
Cause that's where you all hide
Keep singin in rhymes
and keep writing in lines
I guess I'll see myself out
And I'm wodnerin' in the mornin'
Will they come and cut me down
Well I've seen all there is to see
and I saw it without 'em
Well you can think what you think about nothin'
I don't think that I'll bleed when you finally concede that we're strugglin'

Ba da badababa dada da da ba

The Poles

When you grow old, you'll always wanna know
If we'll become something more than atoms in the cold
And as you  begin to die you'll wonder what it's like
But that's between you and your God and of that I am sure
Underneath the coat rack's where she hides all her htings
She'll wonder if the warmth she needs is trapped inside of you
Fall faster from the sky, gravity is on your side
We'll round up to the nearest tenth, that's 9.9 meters til ya die
And when the storm grows gold
Well I know that I wont ever walk alone
Oh where will this train go
I'm breaking down in need of some kind of miracle
Into the daylight he went unprovoked
And the sun shone just above the trees
and the warmth crept through his feet
Mosquitos they don't bite this time of year
but the blood they need and they way the feed it's just a little fly you'll see
And when the storm grows gold
Well I know that I wont ever walk alone
Oh where will this train go
I'm breaking down in need of some kind of miracle


Science In A New Land

Well the storm front's a-movin' in and it woke up all the tree's
And the dogs they were scared, man, with their tales between their teeth
And I never thought I'd see the day that the skyline'd burn the sun
Let's walk through the night and wait on mornin' to come
We don't need no light in the summer's time,
and the black top is hot as hell and my jug is filled with wine
If the chirpin' cricket song ain't got you singin' along
Then you do not know what it's like
--
The tires pound the pavement
and the smoke hangs in the sky
"We're running low on gasoline, and there's nothin' within miles"
So we end up breaking down hit the trails on our feet
There are taller tales out there waiting for you to believe
So speak real soft don't spook the owls tonight
Lets the stars hear your whispers, let the darkness take your sight
When humidity is gone and the dew comes with the dawn
Then that's how you get to feelin' right
