7. Country Death Song
This is the bass line throughout the entire song.
Every "-" indicates an eighth note
The bassline starts, the after a few measures, the guitar kicks in with this...
This is the pluck/strum pattern that is consistent throughout the entire song, it is
just pluck the third string, then strum the entire chord, then pluck the fourth then strum
entire chord. The lead instrument in the song is the banjo.
I had me a wife, I had me some daughters.
I tried so hard, I never knew still waters.
Nothing to eat and nothing to drink.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Well, I'm a-thinkin' and a-thinkin', till there's nothin' I ain't thunk.
Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk.
It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
(Banjo kicks in)
"Come, little daughter," I said to the youngest one,
"Put your coat on, we'll have some fun.
We'll go out to the mountains, the one to explore."
Her face, it lit up, I was standing by the door.
Her face, it lit up, I was standing by the door.
"Come, little daughter, I will carry the lanterns.
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns.
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves."
(For this verse, the guitar part is only a percussive raking of the strings, Gordon
just strikes on the quarter notes but sometimes he mixes it up and plays a few eighth or
beats)
I led her to a hole, a deep black well.
I said "make a wish, make sure and not tell
And close your eyes dear, and count to seven.
Know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
Know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven."
(No guitar for this verse)
I gave her a push, I gave her a shove.
I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love.
I threw my child into a bottomless pit.
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.
(Continues with percussive quarter note strums.)
(The bridge for the guitar is the same as the first verse, I have listened to the song
closely and any leads or solos are banjo or bass, the guitar just strums)
(The next two verses are just percussive rakes of the strings)
Gather 'round, boys, to the tale that I tell.
You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?
It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell.
Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.
Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.
Don't speak to me of lovers with a broken heart.
You wanna know what will really tear you apart?
I'm going out to the barn, with a never-stoppin' pain...
I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

Verse 1:
I dig the black girls, oh so much more than the white girls
I was so pleased to learn they were faster

Along comes little faggot white boy
Said look, look, look first kind of joy
They come around so queer and quiet
but inside rebel and riot
So I, dig the white boys
so much more that the black boys
I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter
Come on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say harder

Play open chords with an alternating bass-strum.
Oh my oh my oh my what if it was true

chorus bit:
Jesus walking on the water
Sweet Jesus walking in the sky
Sink in sand took my hand
Raised me up and he brought me up
G A (pluck first four strings from the bottom up)
I can hold my my my head high
Will I will I will I be true to my birth
Will I will I will I give what I'm worth
Oh yes sir yes sir yes sir I come when you call

Sweet jesus walking in the sky etc.
(guitar solos and lyrics)
Thirty-six...Twenty-Four...Thirty-Six!
See a girl walkin' down the street
Just the kind of girl that I'd like to meet
It ain't her hair, her clothes, her feet
Somethin' much more discreet
I ain't allowed baby I ain't proud
I just want what I'm not allowed
Move on up and help myself
It do a world of good for my mental health
36-24-36, somethin's broke and it needs to be fixed
I don't know how to tell you this but I'm gettin bored
and I need some kicks like 36-24-36!
guitar solo 1:
G------7b7-7r^h5---5----7--5--7h5---5-7b^h5-5--7--5--7--7b------|
(You'll have to figure out the timing on your own but when played at the
same speed, with the same feel, this arrangement sounds very similar to the cd).
Man oh man oh man oh man
I got a red hot plan have you understand
It cannot fail it's plain to see
I'm havin' fun and makin' money
I know this summer's gonna be the best
If I don't die from lack of rest
"Experience" what my daddy said
That's what I got just like he said
36-24-36, somethin was broke but I got it fixed
I don't know if I should tell you this
but I's gettin bored and I got my kicks!
like 36-24-36
Something special, about her personality
Something special, about her physiology

(Again, you're on your own as far as timing is concerned. Also again, I know
this isn't exact but it definitely sounds similar when played correctly.
Don't follow the numerical indicators in the last part of this solo
verbatim. Just use them as a guideline and walk up the neck to a tune that
suits you).
36-24-36 I want lots of pretty chicks
36-24-36 I want lots of pretty chicks
36-24-36 I want lots of pretty chicks
36-24-36 I want lots of!

Intro:
Verse 1:
I'm gnawing on the knowledge

But it felt like I was with a boy

I can't even remember
If we were lovers
Or if I just wanted to
But I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms
But it wasn't you

The one thing that I love
In this world of wreckage
I look above

14. Old Mother Reagan
Bass plays this lead in before each line of A. Guitar play similar, except
ending on an A chord instead of just the A note.
Old Mother Reagan
And her crew
Took away
From me and you
I hope she goes far away
She better go far away
Y'know it ain't right
When it's all wrong
This is the Old Mother Reagan
Protest song
Old Mother Reagan
She's so dumb
She's so dangerous
How come she don't go far away
she better go far away
Old Mother Reagan went to heaven
But at the pearly gates
She was stopped!

On the motel T.V. I dig the evangelist
He'll tell you all about that
And then he tell you all about this
He's preachin' up a storm by the sea of Galilee
He's mixin' up the truth with something funny
I start to see
repeat Chorus:
Verse 3:
I never had this problem with nobody in the government
I guess I always figured they never mean what they meant
And GOD help us all not to be so stone surprised
When we wake up in the stars with the skies
In our eyes if we keep tellin'
repeat Chorus:

19. Out The Window
Life was fun, life was great
til I made my big mistake
oh no, it never happen to
me
life was short & life was sweet
I was thinking as I hit the street
I could hardly believe it, I could scarcely conceive it, I had
Gone Out the Window I had
Gone Out the Window I had
Gone Out the Window
She look fine, she looked great
and so we made our big mistake
I swear I swear I swear it'd never happen to
her
But the pavement knocked her head around as she
hit the solid concrete ground from
thirty flights above and she was thirty something loving nothing
Gone Out the Window She had
Gone Out the Window She had
Gone Out the Window
Catch me I am falling
catch me I am falling
He was smart, he was wise
He profoundly philosiphized
mpathy for all humanity
One day by an open window there's a note that said
"I've gone out the window, and I'm dead"
He said yes to life for all his life but then one day he said
(no chord)
"No, I gotta go"
Out the Window here I
Go Out the Window here I
go Out the Window
Catch me I am falling,
catch me I am falling
Catch me I have fallen
catch me I have fallen
(no chord, backing vocals in parntheses)
(Go out the window We all)
(Go out the window We all)
(Go out the window We all)
(Go out the window)
(Go out the window We all)
(Go out the window We all)
(Go out the window We all)
(Go out the window)
Catch me we are
(Go out the window We all)
Falling
(Go out the window We all)
Catch me we are
(Go out the window We all)
Falling
(Go out the window)
Catch me we are
(Go out the window We all)
Falling
(Go out the window We all)
Catch me we are
(Go out the window We all)
Falling
(Go out the window)

(with Figure C Bass Line)
In your broken down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs
Share a smoke
Make a joke
Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
Words to memorize
Words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all fail the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
Mo my momma momma mo my mother
I would love to love you lover
The city's restless it's ready to pounce
it go here in your bedroom ounce for ounce
Mo my momma momma mo my mother
I would love to love you lover
The city's restless it's ready to pounce
it go here in your bedroom ounce for ounce
(with Figure A Bass Line)
Said I'm giving you a decision to make
Things to lose, things to take
