Early Spring Till Lyrics

A wonderful song from Nathaniel Rateliff... truly different and incredibly mesmerising
nb on the C chord he plays a little hammer / pull on the D string.
Release the fretted 2nd fret to open and hammer on again... a nice little effect!
Intro on the C chord
I was out there missing steps
When you swung around to me
Best to land, not to crash
Pulling out too late
Call on everyone you ever knew
And plead
Well I've been the bum who's underfed
I've been the one who should've said
Maybe I'm wrong
And I've always been that way
Are you tired do you feel
Wrung out
Have you fallen
From where glory sprouts
Are you cut off
In fields and pressed down
Like an early spring till
That don't come a-round
I think I've been there
I think I'm waiting too long
You tried this panting and poured
You set a course to cross me out
Are you tired and broken
Once so stout
Are you full of the feeling
Don't doubt it when it's gone
I could curl up this reel
And leave now
I could fill up with air
And scream so loud
I think I'm going to
I hope I've done it justice!
