Gravel Lyrics
by Ani DiFranco
Little Plastic Castles
Song is basically 3 open chords with a lot of partial chords and hammer-ons and her
signature staccato style. Sounds a lot harder than it is.
Listen to the song to get the feel for the really fast chord strums and the hammer-ons.
I figured this out from a combination of YouTube videos and listening to the song. I
play it this way live. Hard to find Ani tabs so I wrote out this one for the Ani fans out there.
Verse:
(I heard the)
sound of your bike (hit Am on "bike")
As your wheels hit the gravel (hit G on "gravel")
etc.
Chorus:

You wanna make good in the end
Oh ho let me count the ways
aj7
I abhor... you (first time)
I adore... you (second time)
Repeat Verse x12 (might be x13)
Repeat Chorus with new lyrics
She sort of goes on and on here. I prefer to cut it off. Finish with verse X2, ending on
the G, letting it ring:
I heard the sound of your bike As your wheels hit the gravel
and your engine in the driveway cutting off
