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....
                              A5
But I’m at home if I close my eyes
A5                            E5
But I’m at home if I close my eyes


[CHORUS]
E5              D5     A5
Patience in the shadows
A5          B5          A5  E5
And driving nails into thin air
E5              D5     A5
Patience in the shadows
A5          B5          A5  E5
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.....
                                  A5
But it’s alright if we don’t even try
A5                                E5
But it’s alright if we don’t even try


[CHORUS]
E5              D5      A5
Patience in the shadows
A5          B5          A5  E5
And driving nails into thin air
E5              D5     A5
Patience in the shadows
A5          B5          A5  E5
And driving nails into thin air


[BRIDGE]
A5                           B5 D5 B5
Well, I guess we’ve made no progress
D5                   A5       E5
The same talk we had 18 years ago
A5                           B5 D5 B5
Let’s just get our guns and rob them
    D5               A5               E5
And hope to hell our cover, it is not blown

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