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.

Capo 1.
[Verse 1]
G D
Just a mile down the road
G C
And a street or two away
G
There's that freckled missus that I
D G
want most every day
G D
Out to the home of her father
G C
I'm gonna drag my sore old feet
G
Tell him she's the woman who can
D G
Wake me from my sleep
[Chorus]
Bm
She said kiss me
Am
Lord, I listened, but
Bm C
I haven't gone back since
G D G
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
[Verse 2]
G D
Now I will roll, I will suffer
G C
Curse the soil and curse the stones
G D G
Keep my eyes a leaking for that girl does love my bones
G D
I've know her for a year
G C
Only seen her seven days
G D G
One week too many to keep men like me away
[Chorus]
Bm
She said kiss me
Am
Lord, I listened
Bm C
Though I haven't gone back since
G D G
Though I curse the mind for building a proper fence
[Instrumental]
G Em
G Em
C
G
[Verse 3]
G D
So three years after, I found her doorstep
G C
Found her shoes and found her kin
G D G
They told me old grim reaper done come and turned her in
G D
Pouring liquor on the stone
G C
That marks my lost and gone
G D G
I will whimper, wail, and sing her funeral song
A quick attempt. Not entirely sure about the Am or the "eyes will be fixed" bit, but it
should be accurate besides that. Have fun.
