Shakey Graves – Where A Boy Once Stood (Guitar)

Am
I got a stick and a bed in the rye

Am
Give me the chance, I’ll be there by your side

       Dm                     F#m    Am
It’s a long cold country with nobody home

F                                                    E
If you want to face it you can face it alone or with me

                 Am
Yeah, but if you don’t watch me closely I'll flee to the wood

Am
Leave a gap in your heart where a boy once stood

       Dm      F#m
Cut it off but still it grows

F                                                 E
Back in all the places you don’t want it show the most

          Am
If you’re still having trouble, go call up your priest

Am
Tell him there’s some fella giving you grief

          Gm
It’s that lanky old loner on the outskirts of town

Fm                                    E
Telling you lies and wearing you down

          Am
And if he can’t help, you go call the judge

Am
Tell him you’re afraid you’ve fallen in love

        F#m
There’s nowhere to go but down from here

        Fm                             E
So come along, baby, we got nothing to fear

D N.C.
I forgot her

Am
Scream and shout and wake the silent mountains

     D                 F#m
It’s perfect at large, perfect at large

Fm                            Dm
Perfect at large with nothing to do

               F#m
When no one at all, no one at all

F                              E
No one at all is searching for you
