Double Blade chords by Wrinkle Neck Mules

Double Blade - Wrinkle Neck Mules

Standard Tuning; no capo.

The riff is played twice at the intro and once between
the 1st and 2nd verses - the chords are given as well, so your choice.

Timing for the chords played under the solo is the same as
the "Whoo-hoo-hoo!" parts.

On the transitions from G to Em, I like to walk down
the low E string (G-F#-E), mimicking the bass line.

[Verse 1]
Em               C      G
Banjo moon in an Autumn sky
D               C       G
Hollow back but ringing bright
Em                  C       G
From the North it’s blowing strong
D                      C        G
A tellin' sign that it won’t be long

[Verse 2]
Em                 C        G
So hand me down my chopping stick
D                 C     G
Put that blade up to my lips
Em                           C       G
Going to brave the winds and head on down
D                     C      G
Bury that blade right in the ground

[Chorus]
         C   G  D
And it’s on its way
        C     G   D
On your knees and pray
          Em           G      C
I keep my faith in the double blade....

Em                           C       G
Now the limbs and leaves are getting thick
D                 C      G
Push that flame into the wick
Em                         C        G
When I catch my eye in the hardened steel
D                  C       G
Before the winds I bow and kneel

[Chorus]
         C   G  D
And it’s on its way
        C     G   D
On your knees and pray
          Em           G      C
I keep my faith in the double blade....
C    C   G     G C
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
C    C   G     G C
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[Verse 4]
Em               C       G
Lord the list is getting long
D                               C          G
Ain’t nothing I’ve tried that I ain’t done wrong
Em                  C          G
Can’t explain how I know how I know
D                     C         G
To find my way on the long road home

[Chorus]
         C   G  D
And it’s on its way
        C     G   D
On your knees and pray
          Em           G      C
I keep my faith in the double blade....
