Biography:
Shakey Graves, aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas, plays a gnarly composite of blues and folk as a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions. The sound emitted from his hollow body guitar, mildly distorted amp and suitcase drum belie the young singer’s lean frame. He fingerpicks while keeping time with a double-pedal kick drum, hitting a snare fitted into his suitcase drum and a tambourine fashioned to its side. And when he sings, Rose-Garcia unleashes an unearthly howl.

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!
Based of the Live on KEXP @Pickathon version,
but I believe the chords should be the same for other versions, just vary the capo placement.

That banners fly
Am Em D
Oh, scarlet, white, and blue
Am Em C
My brothers and me will hang from our family tree
Am C
As the boys who fought and died for you, my Lord

Just like screaming into the storm

One bullet strayed

And it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord
Am C
Well, it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord
Am C
I'll daisy chain my life no more, my Lord
C G
I'll daisy chain my life no more
