Last week [N] they released a tribute to the Carter family [Bb]
and we got [D] fortunate enough to play
on the record.
I learned my first Carter family song when I was 14.
My brother taught me three chords and gave me a Carter family album.
Told me to learn [E] the songs on there and he said, when you're done [D] doing that you'll [E] learn rhythm.
[D]
This is in memory of Johnny Cash and June Carter.

We're on a battery, watching the sun go down.
