Biography:

Split Lip Rayfield is a vocal and (acoustic) instrumental group from Wichita, Kansas. Though they are sometimes classified as a bluegrass or alt-country band, their music draws on a wide array of influences.

Formed in 1995 as a trio including Kirk Rundstrom (guitar), David Lawrence (banjo) and Jeff Eaton (bass), the group was soon signed to Bloodshot Records, the label home of Rundstrom's previous band, metal-country act Scroat Belly. Early on, the group's gimmick was Eaton's homemade one-string bass

GOES BACK AND FORTH FROM Am TO G FOR THE INTRO. DONT HAVE FULL TABS, BUT IT SOUNDS
PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE BANJO PART IF YOU USE BARRE CHORDS (ON THE FIFTH FRET FOR Am, AND THIRD
FRET, FOR G... OBVIOUSLY)


[Intro]

Am - G
(over and over again)


[Verse 1]

Am Am G
Do you not remember me?
Am Am G
Think back hard, if you still don't see.
Am Am G
I know it was long ago...
Am Am G
How could you have let it go?


[Chorus]

G Am
Well I still remember you.
G Am
And those things you used to do.
G Am
How I kept my tears inside.
G C
When you held me down and made me
G
promise not to tell.
C G
Told me all was well.
C G
Then I promised myself:
F G
I'd get you back somewhere.
F G
I'd get you back somewhere.


[Verse 2]

Am Am G
Don't take this as mean or cold.
Am Am G
Friend, you're lookin' mighty old.
Am Am G
You're not the man you used to be.
Am Am G
Not too far from misery.


[Chorus]

G Am
So there's nothing you can do.
G Am
I've come back for you.
G Am
There's no where you can hide.
G
This is my calling and I
C G
promise not to tell.
C G
Tell you all is well.
C G
Don't take promises light.
F G
I'm here to set it right.
F G
I'm here to set it right.


[Verse 3]

Am Am G
Don't waste all your tears old man.
Am Am G
Instant death is not the plan.
Am Am G
I'm paying this awesome debt.
Am Am G
You've got time to suffer yet.


[Instrumental]

Am G
(under the Banjo solo)
