Words and music by Son Volt from the 2005 album "Okemah and the Melody of Riot"

Cadd9* - Play a Cadd9 with an open high e string
A* - Play an open A chord and hammer on and off the D string

[ A ][ A7 ][ A* ]

[ D ] A mobile [ G ] means to make the [ Cadd9 ] time
A whirl [ A ] wind half mast the [ G ] senses

Shaking your [ Cadd9 ] own brand of [ G ] rhyme
Shaking your [ Cadd9* ] own brand of [ G ] rhyme

On [ Cadd9* ] wide avenues the air moves the sound
[ A ] Cruising rou-[ A7 ]-ound

[ Em ] Who makes the minutes [ A ] move
[ Em ] The postmeridian new [ A ]

[ D ] Who-[ G ]o
[ Cadd9 ] Who else but [ A ] you
[ D ] Who-[ G ]o
[ Cadd9 ] Who else but [ A ] you

[ D ][ G ][ Cadd9 ][ A ] x2
[ A ][ A7 ][ A* ]  x2

[ D ] With gypsy [ G ] scarf and an old world [ Cadd9 ] mouth
A mojo [ A ] hand brought up from the [ G ] south

Shaking your [ Cadd9 ] own brand of [ G ] rhyme
Shaking your [ Cadd9* ] own brand of [ G ] rhyme

On [ Cadd9* ] wide avenues the air moves the sound
[ A ] Cruising rou-[ A7 ]-ound

[ Em ] Who makes the minutes [ A ] move
[ Em ] The postmeridian new [ A ]

[ D ] Who-[ G ]o
[ Cadd9 ] Who else but [ A ] you
[ D ] Who-[ G ]o
[ Cadd9 ] Who else but [ A ] you

[ D ][ G ][ Cadd9 ][ A ] x2
[ A ][ A7 ][ A* ]  x2

[ Em ]Eye level with Goliath's [ A ] shoes
[ Em ]Spitting out these well worn [ A ] blues
[ Em ]Eye level with Goliath's [ A ] shoes
[ Em ]Spitting out these well worn [ A ] blu-[ A7 ]-es

[ D ] Who-[ G ]o
[ Cadd9 ] Who else but [ A ] you
[ D ] Who-[ G ]o
[ Cadd9 ] Who else but [ A ] you

[ D ][ G ][ Cadd9 ][ A ] x2
[ A ][ A7 ][ A* ]  x2

End on A
