Biography:
The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".

"Open Ended Life"
No Capo
For C hammer on d and b strings; listen to song to find the rhythm for riff
[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G C G C
Pack a change of clothes and a pillow for the road for when we drift off
G C G C
Put the sketches and the notes in a box labeled "burn with furniture"
Am D G C G
We will watch the fire burn the whole entire house we built down to ashes
Am D
From the mirror we'll admire how the flame quickly retires
Am D
we won't waste no long goodbyes on the smoke or foolish lies
G C G
that finally passed us
[Chorus]
Am D G
I was taught to keep an open ended life and never trap myself in nothin
[Verse 2]
G C
Let's find something new to talk about
G C
I'm tired talkin' 'bout myself
G C
I spent my whole life talking to convince everyone
G C
that I was something else
Am
And the part that kinda hurts
D
is I think it finally worked
G C G
and now I'm leaving
Am
I get the feeling things have changed
D
but the mystery to me
Am
is where and when along the way
D G C
did anyone decide that they believed me
[Chorus]
Am D
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
G C
and never trap myself in nothin'
Am D
I was told to keep an open-ended life
G
to never trap yourself in nothin'
[Hoedown]
G C G G
(x2)
[Riff]

a|----------------|

[Over Riff]
C G C G (x2)
[Verse 3]
G C
When we settle down in another nowhere town
G C
let's tell our neighbors
G
We won't be here long
C G C
and we'll be quiet but don't go asking any favors
Am D G C G
I can't stand the unexpected, uninvited visits from too many strangers
Am
My trust has dwindled down
D G C
and I can leave just as abruptly as I came here.
[Chorus]
Am D
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
G C G
and never trap myself in nothin'
Am D
I was told to keep an open-ended life
G C G
to never trap yourself in nothin'
Am D
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
G
and never trap myself in nothin'
G C G (x2) Am D (x3)
