Please welcome Gillian Welch.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It's just [C#m] about the time for me to rock and roll.
[C#] That's the way that it goes, [G#] that's the way.
_ _ [C#m] And a brother [F#m] laid her down in the cold Kentucky ground.
[C#] That's the way that it goes, [F#m] that's the way.
_ _ [A] That's the way that [F#m] it goes.
_ _ [D] Everybody's buying little [C#m] baby clothes.
_ [F#] _ [A] That's the way that [F#m] it ends.
[D] Oh, there was a [C#m] time that she and [F#m]
I were,
_ _ _ _ [C#m] that Miranda ran away, took her cat and left L.A.
That's [C#] the way that it [G#] goes, that's the way.
_ She was busted from her flat, had to sell that pussycat.
That's [C#] the way that it goes, [F#] that's the way.
_ [A] That's the way that [C#m] it goes.
_ _ [D]
Everybody's buying [E] little baby clothes.
_ [A] That's the way _ [C#m] that it ends.
Oh, [D] there was a time [C#m] when he and I were,
[F#m] _ _ _
_ she was the brightest one of all,
and in October, oh, [C#] that's the way that it goes,
[C#m] that's the way.
_ _ The dark ones go to bed with good whiskey in their head.
[C#] That's the way that it goes, [F#m] that's the way. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] Now Billy Jones back in the tank,
tell Musso and I'll tell Frank.
That's [C#] the way that it goes, that's [F#] the way.
_ [F#] Did you throw [C#m] her down?
Well, did she leave him for that swell?
That's [C#] the way that it [C#m] goes, that's the way.
_ That's [A] the way that [F#m] it goes.
_ _ [D] Everybody's buying [A] little baby clothes.
_ _ That's the way that [C#m] it ends.
[D] Oh, there was a [C#] time when all [C#m] of us were friends.
_ _ _ _ You laid me down to rest, [F#m] leave a pistol in my bed.
[C#] That's the way that it goes, [C#m] that's the way.
_ _ You missed my gentle touch.
Did I hurt you very much?
[C#] That's the way that it goes, [F#m] that's the way. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [A] That's the way _ [C#m] that it goes.
_ _ [D]
Everybody's buying [F#] little baby _ clothes.
[A] That's the way _ that it [F#m] ends.
[D] Oh, there was a [C#] time when you and I [F#m] were friends. _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ That was fantastic.
Thank you so much.
Good to see you again.
Julian Welch, everybody.
We will take a break.
We'll be right back.
