Biography:
The Tillers got their start in August 2007 when they started thumping around with some banjos and guitars and a big wooden bass. Their earliest gigs were for coins and burritos on the city’s famous Ludlow Street in the district of Clifton. The songs they picked were mostly older than their grandparents. Some came from Woody Guthrie, some were southern blues laments, and many were anonymous relics of Appalachian woods, churches, riverboats, railroads, prairies, and coal mines.

Intro: A E D A E D A
A D A D A
It's a long way up, still it's longer coming down
D A E
It's a long way to Chicago on the South side of the town
D A E A
So to Johnny and to Sally who I met out in the alley
D A
Don't know if we'll meet again but thanks for showing me around
D A E A
I've found joy and I've found sorrow and it all could change tomorrow
D A E
And it's something from within that keeps me facing toward the wind
D A E A
And sometimes I can't believe what this old guitar and me
D A E
Have gotten ourselves into and the places that we've been
A D A E A
So let it reel, let it rock, let it rectify your soul
D A E F#m
Let our bones keep dancing round till our bodies all turn cold
D A D A
And when our run is through I know where I'll reside
D A Bm A
With the ladies and gents on the old west side
A E D A E D A
A D A E A
Now I'm way out on the highway like a mongrel dog to roam
D A Bm
Got some pennies in my pocket as I play my way back home
D A
And I'd never think to trade it, I'll always tell you true
D A E A
The wheels they keep on turning and I'm thinking about you
D A Bm A
Now the factory's steady spewing by the dirty riverside
D A E
Where the trains belt out a midnight song and coyotes they cry
D A E A
For their own to be returning, and it ain't much to you
D A E A
The wheels they keep on turning still I'm thinking about you
A D A Bm A
So let it reel, let it rock, let it rectify your soul
D A Bm F#m
Let our bones keep dancing round till our bodies all turn cold
D A D A
And when our run is through I know where I'll reside
D A Bm A
With the ladies and gents on the old west side
A E D A E D A E D A E A
A D A E A
I've found joy and I've found sorrow and it all could change tomorrow
D A Bm E
It's something from within that keeps me facing toward the wind
D A E
But sometimes at night I'll dream of you beneath "the open skies
D A D A
And I'll miss you close beside me and the hazel in your eves
C# D C#
So let it reel, let it rock, let it rectify your soul
