Chords for Shakey Graves | "Word Of Mouth" Live at Telluride Blues & Brews Festival

[C#m] So here it is in waltz format
Word _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
of Mama _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] I _ see a girl that's blue like the sea
When I go to sleep, you know that she sees me [C#m] too _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Yeah, just standing around like the popular kids just hoping Saint Peter will let us [C#m] in too _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ [A] _ Stay _ off the drugs
[E] If you value the drugs stay off the map [B] if you value them maps you better
Travel [G#m] son, [A] and if you [E] don't want to travel then you better _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] He _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ had some trouble so he's all alone [C#m] now _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] They used to bring him [B] little presents [E] all from [B] time to [E] time
Sit me in his castle and he pick my [C#m] mind
Well, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ they say [A] if you value your heart stay on the road
[E] _ _ _
Stay on the [B] top if you value the top you're gonna suffer sir, and if you [A] don't want to suffer [B] _ better
_ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ I see my boss in his practical suit
You know that I toss him in the cellar
_ Wanna give him no _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] No _
_ No, _ _ I won't
_ _ Cuz you [E] know
Anybody [B] _ [E] tries to tell him what to do
He holds his breath until he turns [C#m] blue _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
Well, he [A] says if you value your job
Stay out of crime
[E] And if you value the crime stay out of doors
[B] And if you value them doors, you better lock them son
[G#m]
[A] And if you don't wanna lock up you [E] better buy _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ An apple tree, well, I didn't trust the world that he is to me
[C#m] He
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ [E] said it must be getting awful.
I mean trying to save the world
Just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls.
[C#m] Oh _
_ _ _ _ Well, _ _ _ _ _ he said [A] if you value your limbs stay [C#] in the game [E] and if you value the game
Stay in that [C#m] style [B] and if you value that style you're a sinking son
[F#m] If you don't [B] want to sink
Then _ _ you better run
_ _ _ _ Yeah
Yeah, _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B]
you better just go on get out while you still can
Cuz _ _ _ at times it sure seems like the shit's hitting the fan
_ But _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ [B]
there's no way really to run
_ Cuz _ _ _ what makes the bad and the good aren't places
[G#m] _ _ Where the TV _ [B] your government
Gets _ _ your [C#m] friends and your neighbors and your people around you and everyone's standing in this [G#m] field
Tie-dye lady out there clapping _ and that beautiful old lady
_ And _ [A#m] that _ [B] _ guy in the orange jacket [E] and this guy that says hashtag [F#m] camera [G#m] guys lives matter _
That's right camera guys lives do matter _ _ _
_ _ Suddenly you realize like oh, this isn't that bad
Sounds like everyone's out to get me [B] and knock my door down and steal my clothes and stuff.
But you guys seem pretty civil.
I'm
I'm [D#] absolutely honest
So [G] anytime you get a little over well too many voices you [C#m] just slow down and take a moment and hear yourself [C#] go _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#m] _ [A] _ _ [C#] _ _ That's all [E] you need _ thank _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ you
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
