Cracks and Seams - Wrinkle Neck Mules
Track 9 - Let the Lead Fly (2009)
Standard Tuning - no capo.

Check out the song to get the strumming timing right - it's important.
The D MajorD chord is played throughout the verses. To mimic the sound of the mandolin
during the verses, you can stretch your pinky and turn the D MajorD into a D5/A
(use your discretion - it sounds good, but hurts like hell after a while).

[Verse]
D MajorD
Vagabonds and it’s hard to hear
D MajorD
With the line drawn from over there
D MajorD
To the middle of the road the first bars of night
D MajorD
Creeping in.....

or is it daylight?

Or is it daylight?

We’ll dry out

[Verse]
D MajorD
With your heart of water and your face of stone
D MajorD
We won’t loiter we’ll soon be gone
D MajorD
To the center of the earth, to Orion’s belt
D MajorD
It’s not till morning.....

[Chorus]
         G+G
that the pain is felt
         D MajorD
That the pain is felt

We’ll dry out

N.C.
You go on - I’ll lag behind
D MajorD
While the saw blades turn and the waters dry
D MajorD
You light the torches, I’ll dream the dreams
D MajorD
And sing the songs....

of smoke and steam
