Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

Pretty simple song, just two chords the whole time. Listen to the song to get the strum down.
Let Your Troubles Roll By
by Carbon Leaf
A D
Love endures, it clings away
A D
When asked to leave, it begs to stay
A D
Like the perfect song, at imperfect times
A D
It's the way the chord's struck with the rhymes
D
So let your troubles roll by.
A
He knows he can help himself
D
He can tell by a look at the books on his shelf
A
And someone somewhere loses her son before
D
Her own sunset is said and done.
A
And she dreams of sunflowers bentover
D
Frozen in the snow and thinks Colorado
A
Then plays her life back in slow-motion
D
To keep in touch with that raw emotion
A
In the night, crushed empty can
D
Olive Oil's waiting for her man
A
To come in from the fight that will change their life
D
For good this time
Refrain:
A D
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
A D
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by
A D
When all of your tears dry, let your troubles roll by, let your troubles roll
A D
by.
A
Like New Year's Eve, tonight's underway
D
but tomorrow you'll wake up afraid of the day,
A
Cause underneath the scars of your broken dreams
D
An undone war still wages and stings
A
You fear the year will blow like a breeze through a
D
Rainbow you swear it's there but you can't grab a
A D
Hold, so you sit and cry and wonder why, why?
to Refrain
A
So many cities and windows and lives and
D
through each one there's a soul that strives to survive
A
So pay no mind, my sorrow's fine
D
The day is alive and that's why i cry
A
It's the New Year's Toast grab your list to conspire,
D
The last snake hissed as he was thrown in the fire
A
You've come far and though you're far from the end
D
You don't mind where you are cause you know where you've been
A
Like a culture vulture sprawled out on the floor
D
like a dead devil sailor washed up on the shore
A
With nothing of note but the old captain's coat
D
And a burning boat you sank with your salty
A D
tears dry, let your troubles roll by
A D
When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by
A D
When all of your your tears dry,let your troubles roll by, let your troubles
roll by.
(Repeat the two chords once or twice and then fade)
This is my first tab so hopefully its OK.
