Biography:
Jeremy Messersmith is an American indie pop musician, based in Minneapolis.
Messersmith is not only a musician is half-truth, but also a storyteller. His first full-length release The Alcatraz Kid is a moving collection of acoustic-driven lullabies with titles like “Novocain” and “Beautiful Children” that innocently question the purpose of things to come. The integrity of these delicate songs immediately struck a chord with critics and fans alike

Tabbed by: Macflash
Tuning: Standard
Capo 2nd fret
NOTE:
Jeremy usually plays his chords like this:
F#m: x x 4 2 2 2
G: x x 5 4 3 3
in the verse part, and plays them normally in the chorus, so:
G: 3 2 0 0 0 3
G/F#: 2 0 0 0 0 3
during the chorus
VERSE:
Em F#m
Streaks of earth matted in her hair
G D A
Beaten down but she won't scare
Em F#m
Blinks her eyes battered green and blue
G D A
Ignorance can leave an awful bruise
CHORUS:
G G/F# Em
So get up!
G G/F# Em
Get up!
G G/F# Em D A
G A
Come on and get up violet!
Riff that's played after each "get up"
e|-----2b----0---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------3-----0-------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------2-----------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chords are the same for the next verse and for the vocal harmony section. Sometimes at
the end he changes key after doing the "Get up!" part. I think he just goes up 1 step on
the circle of fifths, it's also fine to just do the chorus again without a key change.
Blade of grass in her aching fist
Sets her jaw no she won't quit
She'll take the fight to streets and avenues
A little dirt can make a flower bloom
