Biography:
Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, bluegrass, country and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms."
Welch and Rawlings have collaborated on seven critically acclaimed albums, five released under her name, and two released under the name Dave Rawlings Machine.

Capo on the 5th fret
Am G
Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin pines
G D Am
And he made a little whiskey for himself said it helped to pass the time
Am G
Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around
G D Am
And he called my name till I went out, With no-one else around
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
Am G
Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' gone?
G D Am
Did he go on down the mountainside, and leave you all alone?
Am G
Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business there
G D Am
Then Caleb threw that bottle down, And grabbed me by my hair
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
Am G
He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he lay
G D Am
He pinned my hands above my head, And I commenced to pray
Am G
I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels down
G D Am
Then feeling with my finger tips, The bottle neck I found
Am G
I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any blade
G D Am
Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot, Around me where I laid
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
have fun playing the song!
