Nathaniel Rateliff – This
 
A great song from a great artist that it needs to be in here (I was wondering why no one
else has
done this one). Here’s my version – I listened to two live versions and I like the one
that sounds like an Argentinian “tango” (Live at Red Rock Album) – I use Ddim as it
sounds more like the
accordion part for the tango version BUT Bdim sounds great as well so that is up to you
(sometimes I alternate). Simple chords for acoustic but I know Nathaniel plays Bar
Chords on electric so
to your preference. Hopefully you find this useful… Enjoy it!
 
Am = xa221e

[Intro]
Am
(Sustained Quick Arpeggio then let it ring)
 
Am Bdim x2
 
[Verse 1]
Am Bdim
This heart singing out to me sings alone
Am Bdim
This world and empty room and it's falling into line
Am Bdim
They say just one will pass and one will leave no mark or burn
Dm E
This heart is singing on and on again
Dm E
This heart a wielding hammer ready to pound
Dm E
This world already defined
Dm
Maybe you don't even know
Am
Maybe you don't even know
 
Am
 
[Verse 2]
Am Bdim
This wheelless motion will not define me
Am Bdim
This softly singing madness is singing out aloud
Am Bdim
This awful and unholy awful man
Dm E
Inside your empty hand
Dm E
And it's eating out the worm
Dm E
It's odd and it's hard to hail
Dm
Or maybe you don't even know
Am
Maybe you don't know
 
[Middle]
F Am
F Am
F Am
Dm (Sustained Quick Arpeggio)
E Am (Transition but you can omit this part)
 
[Verse 3]
Am Bdim
This eye-line wandering ragged doll
Am Bdim
This one leg pony pulling out the plow
Am Bdim
This wondering what will be my own
N.C.
“And if nothing else I'll seek to find”
 
Dm E
That hairy old delight
Dm E
A naive dark night
Dm E
This heart is singing to you
Dm
Singing I was
E
This all a weight on me
Dm
Maybe you don't even know
Am
Maybe you don't even know
 
Am
(Sustained Quick Arpeggio and let it ring at stop)
