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.

(NB: The original is a bit out of tune)
Capo IV
[Verse 1]
G
So you wake up thirty-five
With a child and a bride
D
In time, I know, you've seen it all before
G
But not on you, no, no, no
D
No, I don't believe it's true
[Chorus]
Bm A G
You say, "I've lived enough of famous nights
A
All by my lone"
G
And I would like to be the dark
A
And I would want her, too
Oh, baby, maybe
G D G D
Once in a while
[Verse 2]
G
So don't tell me, I'll tell you
D
Oh yeah I've been here for a while
G
Oh the world ain't free
No, the world ain't free
D
But it always pays to fake a smile
G
Oh yeah so save your money and wake up broke
D
Yeah worry late or worry no (no)
G
Oh oh write it down in a big old book
D A D
Throw it under the bed and never look
[Chorus]
Bm A G
You say, "I've lived enough of famous nights
A
All by my lone"
G
And I would like to be the dark
A
And I would want her, too
Oh, baby, maybe
G D G D
Once in a while
[Verse 3]
Bm G A
'Cause here in the big easy
Bm G
Yeah, I would like to be only here
A
Once in a while
G
From the bottom of the moon
A
To the bottom of my glass
G
It's not far
Bm D A
Yeah, don't you see that I
Bm A G
Have nothing better to do
Fade out on Bm A G
