Medicine Hat
By: Son Volt


Capo 1st

Intro: A E B x2

E                          A
There will be droughts and days inundated
F#m                  B
Unveilings free from saturation
G#m                    A
Departures raised with no masquerading.
E                           A
There will be teachers that die by their own hand
F#m                    B
Pundits that push head long for atonement
G#m                   A
Friends and followers devoted to living.
E                           A
There will be watchers that plot from in confines
F#m                    B
And those committed to society's circles
F#m                 B
Unwary cogs with no cadence or virtue.
C#m                                A
There will be right, there will be wrong

Chorus:

A           E           B
Drop of the hat and its already started
A         E            B
Just like that and the deed is done
A        E             B
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine
A           E         Bsus      B
The time is now to be on the run

E                   A
There will be machi nations unforeseen
F#m          B
Sleepwalking sense from a bad dream
G#m          A
No promenade walk in the parkway.
E                        A
There will be catchwords filled with infection
F#m          B
circulars to prop up occasion
G#m              A
A golden mean to guide the footsteps.
E                       A
There will be levels on high hills that appraise
F#m                      B
there will be unchanging certainties
F#m             B
barometers that follow the stampede.
C#m                                A
There will be right, there will be wrong.

Chorus:

A           E           B
Drop of the hat and its already started
A         E            B
Just like that and the deed is done
A        E             B
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine
A           E         Bsus      B
The time is now to be on the run

Solo:  E A F#m B G#m A     A E B x2

E                          A
There will be signposts of indication
F#m             B
Semephore ghost signs and warnings
G#m                 A
Hailstone halos and country blues wailings.
E                          A
There will be strains that break out of straight time
F#m                  B
But paid with grace, taking roads to the same place
G#m                 A
With consequence to repay what's been given.
E                       A
There will be layers of means to an end
F#m            B
drawn out days before resolution
F#m                  B
dregs will rain down from all directions.
C#m                                A
There will be right, there will be wrong.

Chorus:

A           E           B
Drop of the hat and its already started
A         E            B
Just like that and the deed is done
A        E             B
What I'd give for that hat to be medicine
A           E         Bsus      B
The time is now to be on the run
