Patience in the Shadows - Wrinkle Neck Mules

Track 5 - Apprentice to Ghosts (2012)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Tuning; no capo. All chords are power chords (5ths).

Best to give the song a listen to get a feel for it.
Riff 1 is played once per line of each verse, except where chords are indicated
(Verse 4 is a little more noodley, but Riff 1 still works fine).

[VERSE 1]
N.C.
Puff my chest to fill my lungs up
Spread my hands as if they’re wings
Everything's in doubt again
Feel the back tires spin


[VERSE 2]
N.C.
On the dirty couch once again I lie awake
The morning sucks the nighttime dry
Well it’s good that it’s overcast today
But I’m at home....
               A5A5
But I’m at home if I close my eyes
A5A5              E5E5
But I’m at home if I close my eyes


[CHORUS]
E5E5       D5D5   A5A5
Patience in the shadows
A5A5     B5B5     A5A5 E5E5
And driving nails into thin air
E5E5       D5D5   A5A5
Patience in the shadows
A5A5     B5B5     A5A5 E5E5
And driving nails into thin air

[VERSE 3]
N.C.
Silently in the backrooms we wait
Paragraphs of nods and grins
I hope we can stand when it’s time to go on
But it’s alright.....
                 A5A5
But it’s alright if we don’t even try
A5A5                E5E5
But it’s alright if we don’t even try


[CHORUS]
E5E5       D5D5   A5A5
Patience in the shadows
A5A5     B5B5     A5A5 E5E5
And driving nails into thin air
E5E5       D5D5   A5A5
Patience in the shadows
A5A5     B5B5     A5A5 E5E5
And driving nails into thin air


[BRIDGE]
A5A5              B5B5 D5D5 B5B5
Well, I guess we’ve made no progress
D5D5          A5A5    E5E5
The same talk we had 18 years ago
A5A5              B5B5 D5D5 B5B5
Let’s just get our guns and rob them
  D5D5        A5A5        E5E5
And hope to hell our cover, it is not blown

Open wide to scream my lungs out
But I don’t say a thing
Everything is in doubt again   x3
