Chords for JOSH WILLIAMS: Ready for Anything

No setlist.
Never had a setlist.
Were you the Grateful Dead or something?
_ Dead maybe, but nothing grateful about it.
So you've always worked that way?
I try to, yeah.
When you worked with Rhonda Vinson and those guys?
Never had a setlist.
Is that right?
None of y'all?
Never had a setlist.
[F#] Worked with Tony Rice, never a setlist.
Is that right?
It's all [G] the same thing. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ I don't always do what you're technically supposed [Bm] to do.
_ _ [G] So anybody that happens to come [C] at me at any point
throwing this [G] knowledge around about
you're supposed to anchor your hand
and keep it [D] off the body of the guitar
and [G] you're supposed to hold your pick a certain way
and you have to hold the guitar a certain [D] way,
_ it's crap.
[G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Yeah, usually for me it's scaled the way that I think
and then you get something you stand on
and find out how much you weigh.
So there's not a lot of scale involved with what I do.
A lot of poke and hope.
[A] So you're thinking in terms of G-run, A-run,
not so much [G#] G-scale, A [G]-scale?
Yeah, pretty much.
Just see what happens next.
Hold on, maybe it'll work, maybe I'll crash and burn.
Here we go. _ _
[D] Do you read music?
_ Very little.
[Dm] Is it at all useful?
[G] No.
_ No.
Not [C#m] for me.
[C#] I can read it and sing it, but I can't read it and play it.
So [A] did you learn guitar first?
[C#m] I did, yeah.
[D] And [G#] did you learn just by ear or did you learn by tabs?
No, I still to this day have a hard time reading tabs.
All ear, man.
I went from guitar and then I started playing banjo
and I now took lessons on banjo, so that was one thing.
But [C] guitar is self-taught, mandolin is self-taught,
I played the fiddle for a while, that was self-taught.
So I mean, _ just a bunch of listening and a lot of free time on my hands.
[G] _ _
_ And when I lay these [D] burdens down
And what [G] I've done
Dear Lord, what happened
[D] Take my soul from beneath that [G] cold, dark ground
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ When [G] I was younger, I thought there'll never be a [N] day I don't pick up a guitar. _
And there are so many days I don't pick up a guitar.
Because for so long in my life, that's all my life has been.
And I'm a dad now and things are different.
And I still love music, I still love to play [B] guitar.
But it's now to the point where if I get the guitar out at home,
[G] I've got a 14-month-old going. _ _ _
But that don't change
I did what the song
[D] Told me to serve the parents and my mother's child _
But [G] I'm mad at _ my own children
[D] Who found you
Chivalry _
[G] _ _ [C] Oh, wait, [G] wait me over
I wouldn't say I'm tired of playing
But [E] there's times when it's such a big [A] part of my life
Sometimes a man needs a break
You need a break from anything you do
Anything that's normal
[N] You need a break from it sometimes _ _
[B] _ But I'll never get tired of doing it
[A] I might get tired from doing [D] it, but I'll never get tired of doing [G] it.
Dear Lord in heaven
Take my soul from beneath that [G] cold, dark ground
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
