Chords for Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson 'The Making of Wreck & Ruin

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'll walk here beside you.
I'll walk _ here beside you.
I'll walk here beside you forever, my love,
till death do us part.
I think we always knew that that wasn't the end of it,
that Rattling Bones wasn't a one-off.
I think it started out that way, but we enjoyed the whole [C] experience so much.
I think we just [F] knew that_
Most of the experience, not all of it.
[Bb] I'll climb up that mountain to meet you, my love,
till death do us part.
When we first wrote Till Death Do Us Part,
we actually said straight away, I think this should open the record.
And we sort of decided from that moment that that was going to be
the opening song and that was going to sort of set the tone.
And obviously, you know, we are married,
so we [A] have said those words to each other. _ _ _
[Am] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ Well, Rack and Ruin [A] obviously has been closely tied with Rack and Ruin.
They're both sayings that have been around forever.
I think it's just about, you know,
[D] digging through your own baggage every time you make a record, you know.
And then you try and put it all away.
We have to dig [E] through each other's baggage when we [A] make a record together,
though, that's so new.
Yeah.
Time to meet the dead when we're in summer.
[D] But it's worth
[A] Catch that monkey on a
[D] And bringing back down the earth
Like [E] I do
For my [A] Rack and Ruin
_ _ So the idea came out to have somewhere to go,
like a little retreat where we could go for a couple of nights.
And we started heading out to a little cottage.
I guess it's like a little shack, isn't it, a little cabin.
We would go out there with the baby, with Poet,
and spend a couple of days at a time writing intensively
and then come home and be real world people
and then go back and intensely write again for a couple of days.
My mum would look after the other two kids.
It's a really [E] great place, like beautiful out in the bottom of the [D] Hunter Valley.
And there's no one [E] around and it's very [A] secluded and very quiet [D] and chilled.
A bit too quiet for [A] me.
And sitting on the porch out [D] there at the back of [E] that [A] hut,
you know, looking at the mountain.
[D]
And it [B] kind of occurred to me then that,
[E] oh yeah, I could kind of easily just do [A] this.
Even though it is specifically about our lives,
I think a lot of couples can probably relate to that,
where sometimes you just like to go,
hey, I just want to swap all of this for a quiet life.
We could be the talk of the town tonight
Carry home your shoes in the morning light
Or we could just stay here a while
Wrapped [E] up in the quiet_
Through [A] the making of this album, it was really,
[G] we were on our own [C] time, weren't we?
It [F] was really like we were locked away from the rest of the world
and we were [Bb] just doing things at our own pace.
[C] And, you know, [Bb] we would record a song
[C] and then instead of [F] just going straight into the next song,
[Gm] we would go down to the creek and we would go fishing [C] or something [C] like that.
Shane [A] would get on his motorbike [F] or something
and he'd go [G] off for a ride and [F] we'd, you know,
I'd either jump on the [A] back and he'd drop me off down at the creek
or something [F] like that, a bit of a breastfeed in between, you know,
with the baby.
So it [Am] was just like we were on [C] this, you know, just on our own time
and, you know, [F] so it sort of became these rusty shoes.
[Bb] All the shoes were gone rusty while we were [F] trying to make this record.
And Rusted [C] Shoes is kind of like the companion [F] piece to Quiet Life. _
I got me some rusted shoes
[C] I got me some rusted _ [F] shoes
Been singing [Bb] heart-rang blues
[F] And I'm [C] going [F] nowhere
I got me a hobo hat
There was a real emphasis on [Ab] spontaneity with this record
and with what everyone played.
It wasn't a matter of working things out and fine-tuning things.
It was all about that [D] spontaneous _ instinct or [A] gut feeling.
_ _ My name is Adam
My name is Eve
[Em] I was the first man
To live [A] and breathe
_ God made the ocean
He made it blue
_ [Em] He taught us don't eat
I don't think there's [Am] any symbolic kind of connection with us being married
with being Adam and Eve, [A] right?
I mean, I don't know if that story ended that well [Am] anyway.
No!
We love the use of the [Em] religious imagery.
We did on Rattling Bones a lot [Am] too.
It becomes more like a tool in the songs we're writing, I guess.
I mean, [E] both of us were brought up in, [D] I guess, religious kind of households, you [A] know.
So we certainly have that to draw on from our childhood.
[E] It's not like we're, [B] you know, getting it out of a [A] book, you know.
This is something that was part of our [Am] lives when we were growing up.
But it's not something that's a massive part of our life [A] now.
It's just that I think often you [E] draw on those sort of things [G] more when you're being [A] creative
than you do in your day-to-day life.
Or, you know, maybe you're more [D] conscious of it.
Let _ _ us [A] ship the sail
We're on [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
