Drive-by Truckers - Danko Manuel guitar chord

DANKO / MANUEL

CAPO 2

The B in the chorus is best as a single note - more like a walk-down

C Em

Let the night air cool you off.

C Em

Tilt your head back and try to cough.

D Am

Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw.

C Em

Let the night air cool you off.

C Em

I ain't living like I should.

C Em

A little rest might do me good.

D Am

Got to sinking in the place where I once stood.

C Em

Now I ain't living like I should.

D C B Em

Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold.

D C B Em

Maybe I can only hear it in my head.

D C B Em

Fifteen years ago we owned that road

A C

now it's rolling over us instead.

Em

Richard Manuel is dead.

C Em

God forbid you call their bluff.

C Em

Like the nightmares ain't enough.

D Am

Remember when we used to think that we were tough?

C Em

God forbid you call their bluff.

C Em

First they make you out to be

C Em

the only pirate on the sea.

D Am

Then they say Danko would have sounded just like me.

C Em

"Is that the man you want to be?"

D C B Em

Can you hear that song? It sounds like gold.

D C B Em

Maybe I could make it bigger overseas.

D C B Em

Fifteen years ago we owned this road

A C

now it only gives us somewhere else to leave.

Em

Something else you can't believe.

D C B Em

Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold.

D C B Em

Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave

D C B Em

singin' where to reap and when to sow

A C

when you've found another home you have to leave.

Em

Something else you can't believe
