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.

Wrecking Ball - Gillian Welch Soul Journey
[Intro]
F C F C Am G F Am G C
[Verse]
C F C
Well now boys, I'm a rollin' stone
G F C
that's what I was when I first left home
F C
Took every secret that I ever known
Am G F Am G C
and headed for the wall Like a wrecking ball
C F C
Started down on the holy road of sin
G F C
Playin' bass under a pseudo-nym
F C
The days were rough and it's all quite dim
Am G F Am G C
but my mind cuts through it all Like a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
F Am G F C F C
I was just a little deadhead Who's watching, Who is watching
F Am G F C F C
I's just a little deadhead Fallen daughter on a scholar-ship
[Verse]
G F C
Well I got tired and let my average slip
F C
Then I's a farmer in the Pogonip
Am G F Am G C
with the weed that I recall was like a wrecking ball
C F C
Met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin
G F C
she showed me colors I'd never seen
F C
drank the bottom out of my canteen
Am G F Am G C
then left me in the fall like a wrecking ball
C F C
Standin' there in the autumn mist
G F C
Jack and Coke at the end-of-my-wrist
F C
yes I remember when first we kissed
Am G F Am G C
though it was nothing at all like a wrecking ball
[Chorus]
F C F C
too much trouble for me to shake
G F C
Oh, the weather and the blind-in ache
F C
was riding high till the '89 quake
Am G F Am G C
hit the Santa Cruz Garden Mall like a wrecking ball
