The Drought
guitar chords lyrics
simple but great song... i think both guitar and banjo follow
the same chords. The same chord pattern used throughout except
for "it's bearing down on me..." verse
not sure the name of one chord... i'll call it C* - 23242x
capo on the 1st (all chords relative)
Em Bm A
Unruly type of sun,
Em Bm A
willing to spare no one
Em Bm A
From the plains up to the peaks
Em Bm A
This heat's stealing faith from the weak
Em Bm A
Amidst the burning breeze
Em Bm A
from the ground up through the trees
Em Bm A
I hear the birds complain
Em Bm A
about the lack of the rain
A Em Bm A
And it's not the same life
Em Bm A
here the morning's like a knife
Em Bm A
and the river's been bone dry
Em Bm A
where the day is not fond of light
Glory to the night
Shade has been hard to find
From the plains up to the peaks
This heat's stealing faith from the weak
Amidst the burning breeze
From the ground up through the trees
I hear the birds complain about the lack of the rain
Em C*
It's bearing down on me
Em C*
no clouds in the sky
Em C*
I hear the pines crack and cry
Em C*
"There's no reason to try."
And it's not the same life
here the morning's like a knife
and the river's been bone dry
where the day is not fond of light.
It's bearing down on me
no clouds in the sky
I hear the pines crack and cry
"There's no reason to try."
