Shakey Graves - Word of Mouth chords
Start Jamming...
I mean as far as music, I really just appreciate anyone that's able to
You know explain
Explain their version of the world kind of eye to eye, you know, like I feel like a lot of the songwriters that I that interest me
They don't particularly write about themselves.
It's not like my heart is broken blah blah blah
But it's it's sort of a nice commentary on you know
The common woes of life like life is pretty lonely sometimes.
I mean not lonely, but maybe lonesome
Even if you're comfortable sometimes that's just too much, you know, you're upset being comfortable or you're upset in love or
You're you know upset out of love or upset saying put or upset because you travel too much, you know
and I feel like there's there's a
There's like a forever struggle
that people face and I like I like musicians that can kind of
[Am] Hone on to that and give their story of you know, what's what's going wrong or what's going right?
[A]
[C]
See oh when I go to sleep, you know that she sees me [A] too.
Oh
[C] Yeah, just standing around
Like the popular kids this hoping the st.
Peter will let [Em] us [A] into
He says if [F] you value your life stay off the [C] drugs
Oh if you value the drugs stay off the map

Yeah, [C] you know when anybody tries oh to tell him what to do
He holds his breath until he turns blue
[A] He says if [F] you value your job stay out of [C] crime
If you value the crime stay out of doors [G] if you value [B] them doors, [Cm] you better lock on [F#m] son

[Am]
[C]
[Am] [Cm] Oh
Sir I saw a snake in an apple tree, you know, I didn't trust the word that he is [C] to me
Yeah, he [Cm] said it must be it not for only trying to save the world
Oh just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls
[C] He says [F] if you value your limb stay in [C#] that game
[C] That game stay in that style [G] if you value that style you're a sink
It's oh, if you [D] don't wanna sing [G] then you better [C] run.

[G]
[C]
[N] Oh
You know if I had one song to like it was like you got one song
that'll go down in history, you know and
It's the only song anyone's ever gonna hear of yours.
I that would probably be the one I would pick
Just the way it's written the way it came to me, you know the
Almost all of its relevant to my life
I don't feel like I'm [F#] preaching per se but it's it's more or less [B] about
You know the advice that you get in your life and how everyone's kind of wrong [F#] and right at the same time
You know, a [C] lot of people will tell you a lot of stuff
[B] Doesn't mean you should [F] listen to them.
But usually there's at least one bit of
[Bm] Wisdom and something that [A] everyone says, you know
[N] So it's just about the the many things in the [F#] many places you get your [C#] information [G#m] from in life and the kind of temptations and
Roughness that goes with just [G#] trying to navigate
[N]
