Biography:
Shakey Graves, aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas, plays a gnarly composite of blues and folk as a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions. The sound emitted from his hollow body guitar, mildly distorted amp and suitcase drum belie the young singer’s lean frame. He fingerpicks while keeping time with a double-pedal kick drum, hitting a snare fitted into his suitcase drum and a tambourine fashioned to its side. And when he sings, Rose-Garcia unleashes an unearthly howl.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Hey, love this song, thought I'd tab it out since Shakey doesn't have enough tabs
around. Enjoy.
The song is played with a capo on the second fret, but you can also play without a
capo or with barre chords if you want.
(The Am-C progression in the verses is played with Am for three bars and C for one)
Verse 1:
E B7 Am C
Well the cold has a hard time finding me
E B7 Am C
Unlike some folks I know
E B7 Am C
Yeah all the men down in union square
E B7 Am
Are worried about the snow
Am
When your pockets fill
C
With dollar bills
Am C
Your heart forgets to eat
E B7
Its a wicked thing
E
It owns this street
Chorus:
E Am C Am C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
E Am C Am C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
E
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
B7 E
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside
Verse 2:
E B7 Am C
Well i saw a carried bundle
E B7 Am C
that has fingers eyes and toes
E B7 Am C
As a father of deception
E B7 Am
i have never raised a soul
Am C Am C
It’s a purchase captured second hand and cherished more than gold
E B7 E
It’s a shelter from that wicked thing that wanders in the night
Chorus:
E Am C Am C
Yeah fix your boots or take me home says quick monique the freak
E Am C Am C
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
E
Well if she was six teeth younger and if i had half a mind
B7 E
I’d carry her away from that wicked thing outside
Am C Am C
The water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice
E B7 E
To pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
around. Enjoy.
