Biography:
Dan McCarthy has remained Omaha's best-kept secret for the past five years-or-so, despite having toured with the likes of Mayday, Neva Dinova, The Good Life, Orenda Fink, Maria Taylor, and Bright Eyes, and despite having recorded with Cursive and Tilly and the Wall (Keys on the former's "Happy Hollow," and accordion! on the latter's "Bottoms of Barrels").
McCarthy Trenching is what Dan does when he is not lending a hand (or both) to his friends, and Trenching's epoymous debut may force McCarthy to finally forfeit his secret status.

[Intro]
Riff Dm F C x3
Riff Dm F C Am
[Verse 1]
F C
I'm calling in my favours, boys
F C
It's last call for all the beers that you owe me
F C
I think you know where to meet me
F C
Let's go where all of the bartenders know me
F C
Go on and bring your brothers
F C
Why not invite my ex-girlfriends down
F C
Only losers are weepers:
F C
You can tell them I won't be seeing them around
[Chorus]
Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C quick Am
[Verse 2]
F C
Pat can have my guitar
F C
Bill, I'm on my way to bring back your bass
F C
And I've got someone's accordion
F C
You know, the one with the snakeskin case
F C
I've made my final arrangements
F C
My sister knows how to dispose of my stuff
F C
Tonight set fire to my basement
F C
And if I'm lucky the flames won't wake me up
[Chorus]
Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C Am
[Verse 3]
F C
I think I know where I'm headed
F C
So I could use all the help I can get
F C
I'm pretty sure that the sins I've committed
F C
Are worse than the ones I haven't got around to yet
F C
So I been thinking about penance
F C
I think I'll go up and settle my tab
F C
It's been an awful, short sentence
F C
The crimes at the time didn't seem so bad
[Chorus]
Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C quick Am
[Verse 4]
F C
So meet me, yeah, meet me
F C
At the Holy Ghost Saloon
F C
If you plan to see me
F C
You better get there soon
[Chorus]
Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C
I am not long for this world
Riff Dm F C Am
