John Hiatt

Biography:

John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

From the album Crossing Muddy Waters

I play this with my 3rd and 4th fingers constantly on the 3rd fret of the high E and B strings,
the only exception being the D/F# in the chorus which I prefer like a regular D with an additional
thumb on the 2nd fret of the low E string.

Intro: G C G x3

G Cadd9
I woke her up twice in the middle of the night
G/B G/A G
To ask what her name is and where she might live
Cadd9
To ask how many fingers she saw in this light
G/B G/A G
To ask if she might know what gives

Cadd9
She said we rolled that Camaro, like a cowboy cigarette
G/B G/A G
Out on the highway in a puddle of beer
Cadd9
That's just about how close to death you're gonna get
G/B G/A G
Till the only thing standing is fear

G D/F# G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
C G/B G/A G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
D/F# G
Oh darling, faces get strange
C G/B G/A G
But only the song survives
D/F# G
Ah ha_____

Cadd9
She said, now don't you remember they put a patch on your eye
G/B G/A G
Like Dread Pirate Roberts, you looked so unplanned
Cadd9
They cut off my wedding ring and you started to cry
G/B G/A G
A one-eyed Niagara Falls man

G D/F# G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
C G/B G/A G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
D/F# G
Oh darling, faces get strange
C G/B G/A G
But only the song survives
D/F# G
Ah ha_____

(Instrumental solo)

Cadd9
I said, but I never married, I said with surprise
G/B G/A G
And is this the diamond you said that you lost
Cadd9
It was under my eyelids when they flushed out my eyes
G/B G/A G
Hell and I don't know what the thing cost

G D/F# G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
C G/B G/A G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
D/F# G
Oh darling, faces get strange
C G/B G/A G
But only the song survives

G D/F# G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
C G/B G/A G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
D/F# G
Oh darling, faces get strange
C G/B G/A G
But only the song survives
D/F# G
Ah ha_____
