Biography:
Whiskeytown was an alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina founded in 1994 and fronted by Ryan Adams along with violinist Caitlin Cary. The band produced a number of albums before ultimately parting ways in 2000.
Other members of the group included guitarists Mike Daly and Phil Wandscher, bassist Steve Grothmann and drummer Skillet Gilmore.
Adams and Cary have publicly talked of reuniting Whiskeytown on multiple occasions, as recently as 2005, but as of yet, nothing new has materialized.

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 on the entire song and aligned with the song chart for the "Faithless
Street" LP version so the timing and chords are set. The strum pattern for Chorus
is slightly different than the Verse and the Refrain so listen carefully to for
the variations. Also, it's a two guitar song. This is the main, driving rhythm.
Great fun to play and to sing.

VERSE 1

He was nearly died, when he returned to the town where he'd come from

Same hands that once touched her face

He was a drinker at night and in the morning he was unnerving

He was a drinker both times of day that he lost his darlin'
