Chords for Danko/Manuel - Hood-Isbell-Cooley Shoals Theater 6/15/14

[D] _ _ _ _ It was [G#m] a long time ago in [C#m] McConnell, far [D] far away.
_ _ [G] And we were passing around [G#m] that book, This Wheel's on Fire.
We were [D] passing that book around a lot.
_ And that first chapter of that book _ [G]
[G#] talked about [G#m] somebody in the band, the band, not a band.
[C] _ _ [D] Not _ [C#m] a band.
The [F#] band.
_ [D] _ And [A] Lee Ma was recounting a story [D] about how they [Cm] said that if one of the members of the band [Dm] died,
[D] then it was kind of a joke between them that they would put [G#] that person on ice and put them underneath the bus
and bring them home to [D] bury them. _
[G] And this is [N] guys that had, you know, they'd siphoned [D#] gas out of the cars in the [A] parking lot
while the rest of the band was playing so they could get [G#] to the next town.
[D] _ [E] They come from much more humble [D] beginnings than me, that's for damn sure.
[E] Although we probably [A] smelled just as bad as [D] they did.
_ _ But [E] after I read that chapter of that book, it immediately cut from that [N] moment,
from them having that joke in the band, to Richard, _ _ [A#] to Lee von Fein and Richard in the [F#] hotel room.
And behind [G#] himself was all the grand [D] larignée everywhere. _ _ _ _
So that, for some reason, [Am] [Em] that hit me really [G#] really hard.
[D] I was about 22, 23 years old and that just [A#] knocked [D] me on my ass.
[G#] And I thought about that [A#] time [A] passing for them between [E] that joke that they all had
when they were all riding around together and young and having fun, [G] and then [D] Richard.
_ So I wrote this song for those folks. _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _
[F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
Let _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ the night air cool you off
[F#m] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ Tilt your head back and try [F#m] to cough _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Don't say nothing about [Bm] the things you never saw
_ _ [D] _ _ Let the night air cool [F#m] you off _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ I ain't living like [F#m] I should
_ A _ [D] _ _ _ _ little rest might do [F#m] me good _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Got to [F#] sinking in [Bm] a place where I want stuff
_ [D] _ Now I ain't living like [F#m] I should _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Can you hear that [A] singing?
Sounds like gold
Baby, [E] I _ only had [A] it in my _ _ _ [F#m]
head
_ _ [E] _ _ _ Fifteen years ago, [A] baby, all that gold
Now [B] it's _ rolling over us [D] instead _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Richard _ _ Emanuel [F#m] is dead
_ And _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ God forbid you call [F#m] him bluff _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ Like the nightmares I've had [F#m] enough _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ Remember when they used [Bm] to say that we were tough?
_ [D] Now, _ God forbid [A] you call [F#m] him bluff _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ First they named you after [F#m] me
_ The _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ only pirates [F#m] on the sea _ _
They _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _ say Daniel might [Bm] have been real proud of me
He [D] _ said, the man [F#m] I want to be _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Can you hear that [A] singing?
_ Sounds like gold
Baby, [E] _ I'll make it bigger over [D] the sea
_ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] Fifteen _ _ _ years ago, [F#m] baby, all _ that gold
Now [B] it all comes out somewhere else [D] to me _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Something else you [D] can't believe
_ [F#m] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
Can _ _ [E] _ _ _ you hear that singing?
_ [A] Sounds like [F#m] _
gold
[E] Baby, I'm here for you from [F#m] the grave _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Singing where to be, [A] where to [F#m] go
_ When you [B] find another home you have to [D] leave _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Something [G] else you _ [F#m] can't believe
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Something else you [F#m] can't believe
