The End (Adams/Panes)
From Ryan Adams and the Cardinals ? Jacksonville City Nights
Lyrics/Chords transcribed by N. Papador

The song is in a country waltz feel? 3 beats per chord. I've placed the chord
symbols approximately where they coincide with the words.  

INTRO
G      A     G    A     G      A    D    D


VERSE 1
D                G           D           D
I don?t know the sound of my father?s voice
D            D                   A           A
I don?t even know how he says my name
       G              A         Bm          G
But it plays out like song on a jukebox in a bar
       D          D/A            A             D        D
In the back of my head till it?s worrying machine

           D                    G           D    D    
And in the cotton fields by the house where I was born
D                    D              A    A
The leaves burn like effigies of my kin
        G               A                  Bm          G                
And the trains run like snakes through the Pentecostal pines
D              D/A        A          D          D
Filled up with cotton and dime store gin

CHORUS I
Bm           Bm           G            D
Jacksonville,     how you burden in my soul
        A           G      Bm        Bm
How you hold all my dreams captive
Bm             Bm          G            D
Jacksonville,      how you play with my mind
       A          G
How my heart goes bad
     Bm            A           Bm             Bm(n.C.)  
Suffocating on the pines in Jacksonville

INTRO
G              A      G           A      G   A  D D
The end               the end
