Biography:
Son Volt is an alternative country group which formed in 1994 in St. Louis, Missouri. The band currently consists of Jay Farrar (vocals, guitar), Chris Masterson (guitar), Andrew Duplantis (bass, vocals), Mark Spencer (keyboards) and Dave Bryson (drums). Farrar is the only original member remaining in the band.
Son Volt formed after the breakup of the band Uncle Tupelo, owing to the simmering creative differences between songwriters Farrar and Jeff Tweedy.

VERSE 1 (Riff 2x as so):
[D] Spend A [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] million dream days
[D] Shook the [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] hand of time, served Gods
[G] Waited [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] around the display
[G] Saw no [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] revelation
No [D] good to [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] go feet first
All dis-[D]-traction and [Dsus4 D Dsus4 D] hesitation
With A [G] bucket [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] for the leakage
[G] Brackish [G Gsus2 G Gsus2] feelings to bail out

VERSE 2 (Riff 2x):
Living it up on the downside
Living out what's inside
Taking it at full stride
Taking it
Here's one for you
Leave one for me
Don't mind and don't regret it
Forget what's gone and here's your warning

Casting it out
Reeling it in
Living on blind hope
Again
Casting it out
Reeling it in
Living on blind hope
Again
