Chords for Todd Snider - Like a Force of Nature (Live: Return of the Storyteller)

Hey everybody, I'm coming to you from the Purple Building in East Nashville to talk about a tour
we're about to start, the American Troubadour Tour, and we're bringing a double album called Return of the Storyteller,
which is a live recordings of last year's tour. _
So I want to make these videos to talk about the tour and the album.
I wanted to start by talking about this flag I've had up for years.
It's a Romani Gypsy flag called Flyin' the Wheel.
_ I'm an Oregonian, but I've always identified as a Gypsy like many musicians do.
The [N] _ traditions of the culture are very similar to ours in that we're constantly in between towns,
and that our loved ones are in between towns too, and in that way we're always home.
_ And there's just a ton of connections.
One though that we don't share is that Romani people have been persecuted for years and years and years,
up to and through today.
My hope is that you will look into that.
_ _ And now I'm going to play you what I think of as a Gypsy song in the [B] chorus. _
_ _ _ And also, _
[Ab] my friend Jason Isbell always loved this song, and him and his wife Amanda Shires sang on it,
and so I want to send it out to them.
I [B] got to be the Reverend when they got married,
and I think of them as like the king and _ [E] queen of the [B] travelers.
_ Sending this out to y'all. _ _

If we never get [Gb] _ together again,
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
please forgive [Db] me for all [B] of these fools I've been.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ [E] _
_ _ See _ _ [B] _ _
_ if you _ [Ebm] can't _ _ _ _ [Abm] remember _ [E] _
_ me
_ _ _ [B] _
when I was [A] listening to my [E] brother Angel.
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ [Gb] _
_ _ Just see if [Ebm] _ [Dbm]
you _ can remember [Gb] _
me
_ _ when I _ [E]
was _ _ [Gb] _ listening.
[B] _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] It's like a [B]
force of _ nature
_ [Abm] _
_ _ is coming [B] _ _
over _ _ _ _ _ [Abm]
me.
_ I _ [B] _ can't keep _ myself from _ [E] moving.
I can't keep from moving.
_ It's [B] like a force of nature. _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
Like a force of nature.
_ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ May your hopes [Gb] always outweigh your doubts
_ _ [B] _
_ _ until this whole world [E] finally punches you [B] out. _
[Eb] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] May _ _ _ _ you _ [Abm] always [Ebm] _ _ play
_ _ _ [Abm]
your [E] _ music
_ _ _ [B] _
_ loud [E] enough to wake up all of your neighbors.
_ _ _ _ [B] _
[Gb] _ _ _ May you play [Dbm] _ _ at least loud [B] _ [Gb]
enough
_ _ to [Bm] always [E] _
wake _ [Gb] yourself _ _ [Abm]
up.
_ _ It's like [B] a force of nature
[Abm] _ _ _
_ that's coming _ _ [B] _
over _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ me.
_ I _ [B] can't keep myself _ from [E] moving. _ _
I can't keep from moving.
It's like a force [B] of nature.
