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.

G D C/G
I used to be an only son
G D C/G
My heart was but a stranger
G D C/G
It wallowed in the races won
G D C/G
and it craves the petty dangers.
D*
When it sat alone,
C/G
and pined and pondered
D* C/G
On the chosen roads it had to wander.
G D C/G
Ohhhh ohh ohhhh x4
[Chorus]
G D C/G
Well I used to be an only son.
G D C/G
My heart was but a gambler
G D C/G
Oh heavy as a loaded gun!
G D C/G
It howled above the weather
[Verse 2]
D* C/G
And its evil ways let me forget her
D* C/G
And this dirty blood will burn forever,
C/G
in us together.
G D C/G
Ohhhh ohh ohhhh x4
[Chorus]
G D C/G
Well I used to be an only son.
G D C/G
My heart was but a gambler
G D C/G
Oh heavy as a loaded gun!
G D C/G
It howled above the weather
D* C/G
And its evil ways let me forget her
D* C/G
And this dirty blood will burn forever,
C/G
in us together.
G D C/G
Ohhhh ohh ohhhh x4
