[Em] [G]
I have played with Nick that first time in 92.
It was a good experience for me just to have to think.
I do hundreds of gigs every year with my own band, but [F#] a lot of it is about muscle memory.
[Dm]
It was good to play with people I don't normally play with.
Other instrumentation, [G] because you guys have got fiddlers and keyboards and stuff that I don't have.
[D] So we are going to, like Deaver's [G] Crossing on the record, [C] the bass [B] doesn't come in until midway through the song.
It didn't feel good when we [G] did it live, so I said, well let's bring the bass in at the top.
But we've lost that dynamic surge from where the bass used to come in.
Well let's have the keyboard player come in and do a [D] little surge at that [G] point.
I've got a lot to work with and you guys are pros, so it worked out well for me.
He walked the road [C] with his back [G] all drenched
Ever since [A] the [G] accident
Leaning on his [C] [G] walking cane
He kept walking [D] [G] just the same
Deaver's gone [C] from the cross
[G] No one now [D] keeps the form
[G] From the banks of [Dm] [C] [G] Jeremiah's run
Off into [D] the [G] setting sun
He was [C] there through the [G] darkest of nights
A gypsy mouth and [D] a chestnut [G] blanch
The market [B] crashed [C] and the teapot [G] don't
He was there [D] when the boys [G] came home
Deaver's gone [C] from the cross
[G] No one now [D] keeps the form
[G] From the banks of [C] [G] Jeremiah's run
Off into [D] the [G] setting sun

[C] [G]
[D] [G]
He was [B] [C] there when Uncle [G] Sam
Took [D] away the [G] neighbor's land
To make that [C] shanty and dole [G] a park
The woods got thick [D] and the woods [G] got dark
[C] [Em] Start [D] walking back [G] towards town
[C] [Em] Retrace your steps [D] as you go
[C] [Em] Keep [D] walking, [G] watch the [C] ground
It's there [G]
somewhere [D] I know
[G]
Deaver's [C] gone, Misty [G] there too
Find her [D] folk you [G] never knew
With smiles [Dm] for [C] all you [G] passers-by
In the [D] churchyard now [G] they lie
[C] So [Em]
[D] [G] [C] [Em]
[D] [C] [Em]
[D] [G] [C] [G]
[D] [G]
when you fish [C] that marsh [G] brown hatch
Won't you share [D] your [G] morning's catch
With those whose grounds [C] you walk [G] across
May the memory [D] be not [G] lost
Deaver's gone [C] from the cross
[G] No one now [D] keeps the form
From [G] the banks of [C] [G] Jeremiah's run
Off into [D] the [G] setting sun
