DESCRIPTION:
If you don't know Gill, he's one of the Old Crow Medicine Show boys - but also one of the best songwriters alive.

This is from his solo album "The Ballad of Lawless Soirez" If you don't have it - well just get it.


Had to chart this out myself this morning - couldn't stop singing it. Some amazing lines in there. "We spent the nights like pennies..." wow.



C F C
Don't let the dark clouds concern you
Em Am
There may be no port to return to
F C G
There's a vicious moon in callous sky tonight
C F C
We're sailing this ship 'till it crashes
Em Am
'till all of the wine tastes of ashes
F C G G7
Don't worry love everything's gonna be all right


F Em
'Neath the muddy mire of Heaven
C Am
With a burned out railroad frown
F G C Am
One ear to the graveyard and the other to the town
F C
We spent the nights like pennies
F C
With all the lost dreams we gave
F C
Cradling the sleepless butcher
Am G
With one foot in the grave

(Chorus)

I saw him down on frenchman st.
Crying baby don't you leave me here
He stood tall in his uniform, his blue eyes filled with tears
Is it horses to water or lambs to the slaughter
When will this cold madness cease
And who among you could tell me the difference
between the butcher and the beast
