"Cradle of the Interstate" by Nanci Griffith
from the Movie Soundtrack, "Falling from Grace"
Starring John Cougar Mellancamp and Mariel Hemingway
Producers: John Cougar Mellencamp, Mike Wanchic
Recorded at Belmont Mall Studio, Belmont, Indiana.
Label: Mercury, Released: Feb 18, 1992
Chart by Terry Day: e-mail: [email protected]
============================================================
This song is relatively easy to play, even if you aren't a seasoned finger-
picker, as, for the most-part, there are no real intricate finger-picking
patterns. Simply pick the bass string and then the 321 or 421, whatever you
like. It's actually more complicated, but it'll still sound good. (The bridge
is strummed down only.) If you need help, or you hear something I didn't,
please e-mail me at: [email protected].
============================================================
Capo Third Fret, preferably on a 12-string acoustic
Chords:
G 320033

C/G 032013
D 000232
Bm 224432
C 032013
Intro: G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
G Cmaj7
It's crystal breakin' in the light of day
Fmaj7 C/G
It's the heat of the moon that's gone it's way
G Cmaj7
And everybody's packin' their wings to fly home
Fmaj7 D G Cmaj7
Fmaj7 C/G
Leavin' me here in the cradle of the interstate alone.
G Cmaj7
And fair-weathered friends are a damned disease
Fmaj7 C/G
They drink my wine and take my money
G Cmaj7
Fools are reachin' for a dim spotlight shine
Fmaj7
If you want that shine
D G Cmaj7
Fmaj7 C/G
You're gonna have to write your own damn lines.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
It turns a warm heart cold
Bm C G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C
Hey, clear this road--and let me by.
G Cmaj7
I got fog in the foothills of Tennessee
Fmaj7 C/G
It's the catskill mountains and the blue ridge behind me
G Cmaj7
Toppin' my list on all I need
Fmaj7 D G
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
It's a warm cup of coffee and a bottle of whiskey beside me.
G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C
G Cmaj7
I work so hard to build this livin
Fmaj7 C/G
In a business of hard lines where nobody's sharin'
G Cmaj7
Fools chase the tails of that top 40 flight
Fmaj7
Hell, the only friend that holds me
D G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
Is the cradle of the interstate at night.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7
It turns a warm heart cold
Bm C G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C
Hey, clear this road--and let me by.
G Cmaj7
It's crystal breakin' in the light of day
Fmaj7 C/G
It's the heat of the moon that's gone it's way
G Cmaj7
And everybody's packin' their wings to fly home
Fmaj7 D G
Leavin' me here in the cradle of the interstate alone.
G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 D G
Lullab-y, roll me gently in this cradle of the interstate home. (3x)
G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 C/G
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo.
