Biography:
From backwoods barbecues and community gatherings; Allen Stone emerges to share personal melodies, telling his tales of life after just 24 years. Getting his start singing at his father's church in small-town America; it wasn't until later when introduced to the greats of soul music (Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin) and then to the confessional lyrical fashion of the 60's -70's singer/ songwriters, did music begin to ignite intense passion, eventually carrying this boy to a musical home.

This is by ear so any adjustments let me know, though it's a pretty easy song.
Tuning: Standard
Chords:
Am7: 575555
Dm7: X57565
G: 355433
*G: 455433 (G# is added for just a slight suspension, I'll notate it in the song with the asterisk)
Em7: X79787
D#m7: X68676
E7: X79797
*I've included the riff he plays during the verses. For simplicity sake it's broken down into three
sections which I will notate in the lyrics. There are some alterations made based on syllables so
section 3 is played differently throughout the verses but you'll get the idea.*
