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".

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is tuned a quarter step down (ish) and capo on 5. So if you plan on playing along with the YouTube
video, I recommend tuning your top E string with Scott as he plays the intro. Either tune with the capo on
and finger the 3rd fret (relative to capo), or take the capo off and finger the 8th fret to match the actual
key (C) (again, ish).
Between sections, he does this groovy little hammer-on/pull-off while picking around with the G chord.
Hammering the 1st fret of the B string and the 2nd fret of the D string.
e|---------------------------3------|
B|------0h1------1p0---------0------|
G|------0--------0-----------0------|
D|------0h2------2p0--0------0------|
A|--------------------------(2)-----|
E|---3---------3---------3---3------|
Using the ring finger on the root note (low E string) and the pinky on the same fret of the high E string.
Hammering on and pulling off with your index and middle finger.
He switches it up almost every time but it all follows the above example to some degree.
Enjoy, folks.
[Chorus]
C G
In come the worst of all my thoughts
C G
They changed from gentle and inviting
Em G
Screaming in my ear
C D G
Attracting me and driving me away
[Verse]
C G
I was a young man full of fire
C G
With a suitcase and a gun
C G
Each job I pulled would take me higher
Em G
But my job stopped being fun
C D G
Oh yes, my job stopped being fun
[Verse]
C G
He kept adding to the pile
C G
'til the cops came with their cuffs
C G
Now I’ve got to move the money
Em G
But I can’t spend it fast enough
C D G
No, I can’t spend it fast enough
[Verse]
C G
You see there was a kid I used to be
C G
Sometime I changed into this
Em G
There was this past that is gone
C D G
There is a future it don’t exist
[Chorus]
C G
In come the worst of all my thoughts
C G
They changed from gentle and inviting
Em G
Screaming in my ear
C D G
Attracting me and driving me away
[Bridge]
C G
Now there’s a line of talks coming
C G
Now I gotta shut it down
C G
They tell me you’ve become a big star
Em C
But you and I know both know
C D G
exactly who we are
[Chorus]
C G
In come the worst of all my thoughts
