Ladies and gentlemen, how are you?
Things [B] are alright?
[C] Did you enjoy Ken Casey?
Did you enjoy Drunken Murphys?
[Ab] [E] I was nervous, some of you almost started [D] moving.
It was tough.
Very scary to have happen in this room.
Ladies and gentlemen, please [C]
welcome Zach Brown and [Bm] one of my [Am] favorites, a woman [Bb] I just like hugging.
Mavis Staples.

[Eb] [Gm]
[Eb] [Bb] There's a blood red serpent [Eb] on the cold dark [Bb] ground
And the rain [Gm] is falling down
[Eb] The [Bb] church doors [Gm] blown open, [Eb] I can hear the organ [Bb] song
But the [Gm] congregation's [Eb] gone
My [Bb] city of [Gm] ruins
[Bb] [Gm]
[Bb] Now the sweet [Gm] bell of mercy
Rung through the evening [Bb] trees
Young men are [F] brothers by love to me
[Eb] [Bb] They [Gm] boarded up a window [Eb] down the empty [Bb] street
While my brothers [Am] down on their knees
[Eb] [Bb] My city of ruins

Darling, where [Bb] we slept
And you took [Dm] my heart when you left
[Eb] [Bb] Without your sweet kiss
My soul is lost, my friend
Tell me [F] how do I begin to [Eb] dance
