Biography:
The five souls in Elephant Revival are Sage Cook (banjo, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, bass and fiddle); Bridget Law (fiddle, octave fiddle); Bonnie Paine (washboard, djembe, musical saw, stompbox); Daniel Rodriguez (guitar, banjo, bass); and Dango Rose (double-bass, mandolin, banjo). All share vocals and write songs. Paine delivers additional beats via footstomps on plywood, her stockinged feet doing near jigs as her hands, encased in antique leather gloves, rub silver nickel against corrugated metal.

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!
The tuning is a whole step down on the album, but most live versions have it in standard tuning
with no capo.

[Verse 1]
Em C
By the moonlight, we arise with a waking
G D
knees not shaking, sharp and shaping art
Em C
In the dawn's rays, a dim breaking
G D
truth ablaze, in perfect phase
Em C
Over taking it for the taking
G D
for what's not bound is what's not made
Em C G D
No we will not take it, another lie we will not take it

[Verse 2]
Em C
The future will be much better-
G D
those in chains will be unfettered
Em C
And ligths, they'll be shining down above the tree line
G D
no defeat when we join each other here.
Em C
I heard it through the walls of the station
G D
steel and stone could not contain us.
Em C
Beyond the bounds of the nation
G D
still no stone could not could quite confine us.
