Off the album Nothing's Going to Change the Way You Feel About me Now(2012)(Bloodshot Records)
This is a simplified version of JTE's live KEXP performance
Travis Picking is ideal, but included is a strumming pattern that works as well
The Em and G chords at the end of each line are usually interchangeable
Rest in peace, Justin Townes Earle.
Unfortunately, Anna - Justin Townes Earle
[Intro]
C D G G
[Verse 1]
C D Found her walking in the rain G G Down on Fatherland Street C D G G I call her name she stops and she smiles and she turns to me C D I say, "Darling where you been?" G Em She says, "You know, daddy, I've been looking for you." C D G G She pops the rear door open and slides into my rear-view
[Verse 2]
C D She puts her arms around me. G G And I put her into gear C I say, "Where you want to go?" D G She says, "I don't know, just anywhere but here"
(or "just want to disappear")
[Pre-Chorus]
C D G G Cause I'm tired of walking down the same old streets every night C D G G I'm tired of the same old faces, and the same old sunrise C D G G And I wonder how my Mama's doing in Memphis C D G Em I wonder how my kids are up in Michigan
[Chorus]
C D G Em So please, baby just drive C D G G Please, baby just drive C D Carry me out into the night G Em Carry me out, into the night C D G Em Cause I need to know, that there's something more to this life C D G G That there is something more to this moment, than this poor town can provide C D G Em I feel the pressure. I feel it pushing down on me. C D I feel like I'm about to scream G Em I'm feeling low and downright mean C D G Em So please, baby just drive C D G Please, baby, just drive"
G (hit bass note)

D G I wish there was something that I could do D G But baby, you've gone too far to come back home D G And all this time you've been waiting for the world to change Em Em But unfortunately, Anna C D G Unfortunately, Anna - it's you, who needs to change G Unfortunately, Anna
G
[Outro]
C D Found her walking in the rain G G Down on Fatherland Street C D G Em I call her name she stops and she smiles, and she turns to me C D She turns to me G G She turns to me
