Revelation Blues

G
C
I was more than just a coward, I was handsome too
Em
D
I felt nothing when your flood came down
G
C
Holding fines that made me wonder if the lights were wrong
Em
D
With my hands that never touched no ground
Am
D
When your talent is in numbers
Bm
Em
Of the many times you've gone
C
D
I could lie I don't care about forgiving
G
But sometimes it's just roses dying too young
G
C
Em
D
x2
And you're fencing up the hours in the fields of red While you think I'm on a loveless stray In the letters from the lovers in a land gone wrong Explanations always written late When your talent curse the framing Of the crying you heard sung I could lie I don't care about what's missing But sometimes it's just roses dying too young
Em
Bm
C
Am
With your train of thought always passing here
Em
Bm
C
Am
With its falling paint, and its broken gears
Em
Bm
C
Am
It's the damn revelation blues when you see the path
Em
D
C
And you know you won't be the last, oh Lord, oh Lord I was more than just a terror, I was crying too But you showed me in the gusts between That a wind is sometimes broken and its flying path Has no meaning no a ghost within When your talent is in hiding That your feeling's always wrong I always want to bring you something But sometimes it's just roses dying too young

And when the night is young but the bridge is up Something passing by, I was sure And the only one you can tell it to Well it's the only one that ever knows And some will say it's not even healthy But body is young and mind is sure That something is alright with your thinking Since they shook the earth in 1904

Had to leave When you're painted like a warrior Though you know it's a raining war When the first who spoke, but wasn't really sure Was your heart

Still you're trying

But there's no leaving now
Repeat intro chords
With your quiet damn devotion To be lost like your child again Claim forever is a close and honest friend To your ways Will there be time to harvest rivers That for so long refused to grow All the little things you need to build a home For your love Your fear of the leading light If they are with you and your heart won't fail To see through a fearless eye And know that danger finally goes away Still you're trying But there's no leaving now Your fear of the leading light If they are with you and your heart won't fail To see through a fearless eye And know that danger finally goes away Still you're trying But there's no leaving now

Wind And Walls

Tuning: CGCGCD (Open Cadd9)
Note: this is banjo "Double C", with an added low C.
 Well, "All is well in order" is what you thought you heard them say And so you drifted off to see what's not in yourself Light is turning slowly will it lay out on the plains? No more nights of what you wrote back then, no relief of no rain And so, singing songs of rivers tied to accidents within And telling people lies of lions, treasures, and kings Nothing's more revealing than the dancer and the doubt Waving to forget what's never gone, always there, never right In all these riots of broken sounds Like the last voice you heard Then you drowned, oh Lord You know, this is wind and walls and weathered leaves and tearing sails And minnows in your pockets when the rapid's on trails This is not the future but I sense it's right up there Oh, just another hour, another pass, another day anywhere In all these riots of broken sounds And you sleep on the track every night Oh Lord And we don't know if your treasure is safe Where will you be when they find you, son? And you know they're always following me So when I get there you trust me son, and just leave I'll catch up This is where you're passionate of seasons and their strength And this is where you breathe and walk and know they will end Light is turning slowly to the hand upon your chest So lay it on the plains where there is time, there is love, there is rest From all these riots of broken sounds When you sleep on the track every night Oh Lord And we don't know if your treasure is safe Where will you be when they find you, son? And you know they're always following me I'll be the best when the silence comes
