Black River Killer (Blitzen Trapper)

Chords used: Am-Em-C-G-D



capo 4

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]

It was [Am]just a little while past the [Em]sunset strip
They [C]found the girl’s [G]body in an [D]open pit
Her [Am]mouth was sewn shut, but her [Em]eyes were still wide
[C]Gazing through the [G]fog to the [D]other side

They [Am]booked me on a whim and threw me [Em]deep in jail
With no [C]bail, sitting [G]silent on a [D]rusty pail
Just [Am]gazing at the marks on the [Em]opposite wall
[C]Remembering the [G]music of my [D]lover’s call

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]

So you [Am]make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But they [C]say it’s never [G]too late to [D]start again

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

It was [Am]dark as the grave, it was [Em]just about three
When the [C]warden with his [G]key came to [D]set me free
They [Am]gave me five dollars and a [Em]secondhand suit
A [C]pistol and a [G]hat and a [D]worn out flute

So I [Am]took a bus down to the [Em]Rio Grande
And I [C]shot a man [G]down on the [D]edge of town
Then I [Am]stole me a horse and I [Em]rode it around
Til the [C]sheriff pulled me [G]in and he [D]sat me down

He said, [Am]you make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes
To [C]pull a man’s soul [G]back from [D]heaven’s gates
I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But [C]they say it’s [G]never too late to [D]start again

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

Well the [Am]sheriff let me go with a [Em]knife and a song
So I [C]took the first [G]train up to [D]Oregon
And I [Am]killed the first man that I [Em]came upon
Because the [C]devil works [G]quick, you know it [D]don’t take long

Then I [Am]went to the river ford to [Em]take a swim
You [C]know that black [G]river water is as [D]black as sin
And I [Am]washed myself clean as a [Em]newborn babe
And then I [C]picked up a [G]rock for to [D]sharpen my blade

Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]spirit come a [G]calling for my [D]soul to send?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will that [C]Black River [G]water wash me [D]clean again
Oh [Am]when, oh [Em]when
Will the [C]keys to the [G]kingdom be [D]mine again?

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [4x and fade]

I sailed a [C]wild, wild sea
climbed up a [F]tall, tall mountain

beneath a [G]weeping willow tree
He said now [C]if you got some questions
go and [F]lay them at my feet
but my [C]time here is brief
so you'll [G]have to pick just three

So I said:
[C]What do you do with the pieces of a broken [F]heart?
and [C]how can a man like me remain in the light?
and if [C]life is really as [C7]short as they say
then [F]why is the night so[Fm]long
and then the [C]sun went down
and he [G]sang for me this [C]song

He said:
I [C]once was a young man like [F]you
A[C]fraid to do the things
that I [G]knew I had to do
So I [G]played an escapade just like you

go and [F]lay them at my feet
but my [C]time here is brief
so you'll [G]have to pick just three

And I said:

You Are What You Love (Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins)

Chords use: Bm-Em-A-D



Capo 3

[Bm] [Em] [A] [D] x2

[Bm]This is no great ilEm]lusion
When [A]I'm with you I'm looking for a [D]ghost
Or [Bm]invisible [Em]reasons
To fall [A]out of love and run screaming from our [D]home

[D]Because we live in a house of mirrors
We [G]see our fears and everything
Our [Em]songs, faces, and [A]second hand clothes

But [D]more and more we're suffering
Not [G]nobody, not a thousand beers
Will [Em]keep us from feeling [A]so all alone

But you [Em]are what you [A]love
And [D]not what loves you [G]back
That's why I'm [Em]here on your doorstep
[A]Pleading for you to take me [D]back [G] [D]

The [Bm]phone is a fine in[Em]vention
It al[A]lows me to talk endlessly to [D]you
About [Bm]nothing disguising my [Em]intentions
Which I'm [A]afraid, my friend, are wildly un[D]true

It's a [D]sleight of hand, a white soul band
The [G]heart attacks I'm convinced I have
Every [Em]morning upon [A]waking
To you I'm a [D]symbol or a monument
Your [G]rite of passage to fulfillment
But [Em]I'm not yours for the [A]taking

But you [Em]are what you [A]love
And [D]not what loves you [G]back
So I [Em]guess that's why you [A]keep calling me [D]back [G] [D]

[Em] [A] [D] [G] [D]

[D]I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
A [G]coward who paints a bullshit canvas
[Em]Things that will never [A]happen to me
But [D]at arms length, it's Tim who said
I'm [G]good at it, I've mastered it
A[Em]voiding, avoiding [A]everything

But you [Em]are what you [A]love Tim
And [D]not what loves you [G]back

And I'm in [Em]love with illusions
So [A]saw me in half
I'm in [Em]love with tricks
So [A]pull another rabbit out of your [D]hat [G] [D]

Guaranteed (Eddie Vedder)

Favorite song of the moment. From the Into the Wild soundtrack.

Chords used: G-Bm-G7-C/E-D-Dsus2

G: 3-5-5-4-3-3 (the basic G works too if you want)
Am7: 0-0-2-0-1-0
Dsus2: 0-0-0-2-3-0
Dsus*: 0-0-0-2-3-4 (not sure real name of this chord)



[G] [Bm] [G7] [Am7]
[C] [G] [D] [Dsus2] [D]

[G]On bended knee is no [Bm]way to be free
[G7]Lifting up an empty cup, I [Am7]ask silently
[C]All my destinations will ac[G]cept the one that's me
So [D]I can breathe [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus*]

[G]Circles they grow and they [Bm]swallow people whole
[G7]Half their lives they say goodnight to [Am7]wives they'll never know
A [C]mind full of questions, and a [G]teacher in my soul
And [D]so it goes [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus*]

[G]Don't come closer or [Bm]I'll have to go
[G7]Holding me like gravity are [Am7]places that pull
If [C]ever there was someone to [G]keep me at home
It [D]would be you [Dsus2] [D]

[G]Everyone I come across, in [Bm]cages they bought
[G7]They think of me and my wandering, but I'm [Am7]never what they thought
[C]I've got my indignation, but I'm [G]pure in all my thoughts
I'm [D]alive [Dsus2] [D]

[G]Wind in my hair, I feel [Bm]part of everywhere
[G7]Underneath my being is a [Am7]road that disappeared
[C]Late at night I hear the trees, they're [G]singing with the dead
[D]Overhead... [Dsus2] [D]

[G]Leave it to me as I [Bm]find a way to be
[G7]Consider me a satellite, for[Am7]ever orbiting
[C]I knew all the rules, but the [G]rules did not know me
[D]Guaranteed [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus*]

[G] [Bm][G7] [Am7]
[C] [G] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus*] [D]
