Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs.

Tift Merritt - Late Night Pilgrim
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C Dm G C G C
Dm G
Rain like static falling in my eyes
C
Rain like static on the road
Dm G
Rain on the loners and the regular thieves
C
Everybody else has gone home
Dm G
If I could stay in your hotel bed
C
And sleep all day
Dm
I made my mind up a long time ago
G C
Got to keep on weaving my way
CHORUS:
F G C F
Like a late___ night pilgrim
G C Am
Looking for redemption in the underground
G F D
Lord, won't you help the late night pilgrim
G C
When the morning comes around
Dm G
You'll get dirty before you get clean
C
That's how a dream could go
Dm G
And when it don't light like gasoline, baby
C
You're on your own
CHORUS:
F G C F
Like a late___ night pilgrim
G C Am
Looking for redemption in the underground
G F D
Lord, won't you help the late night pilgrim
G C
When the morning comes around
INSTRUMENTAL: Am G F Am G F Am G F G C
Dm
Sometimes I am the fool whose dealing cards
G C
To a ghost who's running late
Dm
Sometimes the prophets they are just like me
G C
Can't do nothing, but sit up and wait
CHORUS:
F G C F
With all the late___ night pilgrims
G C Am
Looking for redemption in the underground
G F D
Lord, won't you help the late night pilgrim
G C Am
When the morning comes around
G F D
Lord, won't you help this late night pilgrim
G C
When the morning comes around
