Biography:
What the hell is a Wrinkle Neck Mule? A sophomoric phallic reference? Too easy. A pack animal used in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico to transport opium to America in the early 1900s? History channel worthy, but wrong. A band of five (or four, depending on the wind) from Richmond, Virginia carrying indie-rockish country music about the land? Eureka. Daily double.
Born somewhere on I-64 between Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia in late 1999

Banks of the James - Wrinkle Neck Mules
Track 10 - Apprentice to Ghosts (2012)
Standard Tuning
[Intro]
D G
[Verse]
C G D
River was running, trembling low
C G D
Just like your voice on the payphone
C G D
Words have been whispered but none were so sweet
C G D
As the promise you made to betroth
[Verse]
C G D
Down by the trusses and crossing of ties
C G D
Where the black water touches the land
C G D
Lights from the city and the light in your eye
Em D C
Would witness me taking your hand
[Chorus]
G F C
But all the lights of Surry County never saw anything
G F C
Reflected across the river and fell upon me
Em D C
Light is fading to day, waited around
G D
On the Banks of the James
G
[Verse]
C G D
Long are the hours that pass in between
C G D
Dusk and the blanket of nightfall
C G D
Bright are the beams that shine through the branches
Em D C
Eager to see your arrival
[Chorus]
G F C
But all the lights of Surry County never saw anything
G F C
Reflected across the river and fell upon me
Em D C
Light is fading to day, waited around
G D
On the Banks of the James

[Bridge]
Am C
Currents run strong and they carry along
Em D
All debris that they pass on the way
Am C
Carry you down slowly turning to brown
Em D C
Like the man you came to betray
Em D G
But you never came back up that day
[Chorus]
G F C
But all the lights of Surry County never saw anything
G F C
Reflected across the river and fell upon me
Em D C
Light is fading to day, waited around
G D
On the Banks of the James
[Verse]
G F C
Where the black water touches the land
G F C
You gave me your word you’d give me your hand
G F C
Why’d you go and betray your man?
G F C
Now you’ll never come back up again
