Gillian Welch - Caleb Meyer (lyrics) chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb]
Caleb Meyer lived alone in them [Db] hollering pines
And made a little [Ebm] whiskey for himself, said it had passed time
Someone came in back of my house, Caleb [Db] come around
And he called my [Ab] name till I went [Ebm] out, no one else [Eb] around
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gone, oh, and the night [Db] will change
But when [Ab] I go to sleep at night, don't you [Eb] call my name
Where's your husband, Ellie, he came with your darling [Db] gone
Did he go on down [Ebm] to Mountainside and leave you all alone
[Eb] Yes, my husband's gone to Bowling Green to do some [Db] business there
Then he threw [Ab] that bottle down and grabbed me by [Eb] my hair
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gone, oh, and the [Db] night will change
But when I [Ab] go to sleep at night, don't you [Eb] call my name
[Db] [Ebm] [Eb]
He threw me in a needle bed across my dirty [Db] lake
Then he pinned [Eb] my head and tucked my head in that man's crate
I [Ebm] cried, my God, when you were chasing your [Db] angel down
Then feeling [Ab] with my fingertips the [Eb] bottleneck I found
I drew back west across his net and found [Db] Sandy Blake
Then I felt his [Ab] blood pour [Ebm] fast and hot around me where I lay
[Eb]
Caleb [Db]
[Ab] [Ebm] [Eb]
[Db]
[Abm] [Eb]
Meyer, your ghost is gone, oh, and the night will [Db] change
But when I [Eb] go to sleep at night, don't you call my name
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gone, oh, and the night will change
But when I go to sleep at night, [Ebm] don't you call my name
