Welcome back, y'all.
Lincoln Durham's 2013 release called Exodus [G] of the Deemed Unrighteous [C] is as dark and mysterious
as its title.
Now, the [Gm] project is full of [D] songs that allow this ultra-talented [Gm] singer-songwriter to showcase
his [C] talents live.
[G] _ Never seen it for [Bb] yourself?
Get ready.
Here he is with [C] Annie Departee, the [G] one, the only, [C] Lincoln Durham. _
Okay, [G] Annie [C] Departee.
That's one of my favorite [Bb] songs to play, at least.
[Gm] It's a funny story, [D] actually.
You were just asking me about Alyssa, my [Bb] wife, and she _ always [C] said, you know, why don't you
_ [Gm] write a song about me?
You know?
[Dm] And I'm not much of a love song [G] guy.
So I debuted this song a while back [Gm] on the cigar box guitar there, and _ [Dm] she heard it for
the first time [C] when I was on stage.
She said she kind of [G] thought, man, that song sounds a lot like me.
And then the [Dm] next time I played it, she says, [C] wait, that song is about me.
And so when [Gm] I got off, _ she said, is that song about me?
[Dm] And I said, well, yes, ma'am, [G] it is.
And she said, well, why didn't you tell me?
I said, well, I think the song [C] kind of explains itself as far as why.
But [Gm] that's a fun [C] song to play.
It's just about a [Bb] kind of a _ desperado girl [D] who's got a [Bb] quick trigger or a fiery [C] trigger,
however you want to say it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] Let's shoot.
Find your [Gm] six foot on [E] the ground. _ _
_ _ No, [A] your roots.
Powder your nose.
How Joe Bolle is telling me I _ was a [E] man. _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ 1, 2, 3, put him out of misery.
_ Oh, I'll say sister, please.
And we get kicked.
Remember the powder.
You better want to breathe.
Listen, I'll _ _ tell [E] you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, six _ guns.
Now _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ you've been spread.
It led over to _ _ _ _ _ take [A] your black hat and painted white.
_ Focus. _ _
_ _ 1, _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ 2, 3, put him out of misery.
[D] Oh, I'll say sister, please.
And we get kicked.
Remember the powder.
You better put a breeze.
And _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ I'm going [A] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [E] _ to tell a story about it.
And now _ you say it was known for a nasty reputation.
But when a show, few are allowed to let it suffer from a chronic frustration.
Most men would cow underneath the persecution of a pistol point.
But right now, and anyone seeking fame to find a local chip joint, most like Billy Bob's Texas.
_ _ _ _ So now, and it was new and I was a turn of red.
And then all of a sudden, there'd be a bullet in the belly of Fred or Steve or Georgia Rick
or Todd or Ray Benson.
It don't matter. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Oh, and he done done it again, [A] girl.
_ [E] _ Ready to lay your six guns. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ You've been spread and laid all over town. _ _
_ _ On your [A] rules, powder your nose.
How's your bully?
[G] Send me out.
Oh, yeah, I shot a [E] man.
Girl, _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ won't you three put him out of misery?
_ [B] Oh, I'll say sister, please.
And we get [C] kicked.
And then born a powder.
You better put a breeze.
And it won't have a lesson.
And _ _ it's a [E] party. _ _ _
And [Bb] it's [E] a party. _ _
_ [Bb] And it's [E] a party. _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [E] It's a party. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [E] _
