Biography:
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as THE FALL meets NEIL YOUNG. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense.

Uncast Shadow Of A Southern Myth - Parkay Quarts
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Intro: D Bm x5
D Bm D
Id seen the bloodlands of Antietam
Bm
The shotgun shack in Tupelo
D Am G
But a brick circumference left hollow by Sherman
Em
Crumbling before me how it moans
D Bm
His shape swallows my recollection
D Bm
That phantom silhouette implied
D Am G
Strange fruit rotting from an air morning hotter than hell
Em
Is this the king’s last man Ive spied
D Bm
I stood there beside my companion
D Bm
Scratching a rumor he had heard
D
Do you have a gun?
Am
What? He said, yeah, you mean this one?
G Em
Straight down the barrel was his word
D Bm
And I smelt the fumes he inhaled swiftly
D Bm
Each word was hinged upon his choke
D Am G
Like kudzu creeping up a state tree discretely
Em
Forever bending as it broke
D Bm
And I heard the jangling keys of Graceland
D Bm
Ring from his teeth stained round from coke
D Am G
Drunk and stumbling like a man of distinction
Em
They clamored shaking as he spoke
D Bm
Of droves of pilgrims at his doorway
D Bm
Of Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Gore
D Am
Fortunes offered them, refused routinely
G Em
This aint no damn auction house he swore
D Bm
Black male standing around 6 foot something
D Bm
Ebbs through the waves of small town bias
D Am G
A minute coldly from southern affection
Em
Collides secretly into night
D Bm
Forgive those who trespass against us
D Bm
Began the dead intruders plea
D Am G
Into the very muzzle I’d once bit into
Em
He gives the last words he will speak
D Bm
That broken glass supports forced entry
D Bm
Reminds his lawyer through the phone
D Am
What southern judge do you know, comforting gently
G Em
Who jails white men who defend their home
D Bm
No souls are present for the moment
D Bm
His bombed out brick walls finally fell
D Am
Lying face down in the throes of atonement
G Em
Checked out of the Heartbreak Hotel
D Bm x2 D Am G Em
D A G D A G
It’s the uncast shadow of a southern myth x5
