HEART OF STONE – CHRIS KNIGHT

CAPO 1

I GREW UP NEAR WHAT THEY CALL THE FLATS
AINT TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOWS WHERE ITS AT
CANT HEAR THE HIGHWAY CANT SEE A WAY OUT
I GUARANTEE IT AINT NOTHIN WORTH CRYIN ABOUT

DADDY LEFT US ALL BACK IN ’91
LEFT US ALL WONDERIN WHAT IT WAS WE DONE
ID STAND IN THE YARD AND STARE DOWN THE ROAD
I GUESS I MUST HAVE MISSED HOW I JUST DONT KNOW

GOT THE BROKEN PROMISES
GOT THE BROKEN HOME
DONT BREAK YOURSELF ON A
HEART OF STONE

I MARRIED A GIRL I MET IN TENNESSEE
THE BABY DIDNT MAKE IT, SO NEITHER DID WE
I STILL THINK ABOUT HER BUT SHES FADIN FAST
IT DONT DO NO GOOD DWELLIN ON THE PAST

GOT THE BROKEN PROMISES
GOT THE BROKEN HOME
DONT BREAK YOURSELF ON A
HEART OF STONE

WELL I CALL MOMMA EVERY NOW AND THEN
TO SAY IM COMIN HOME BUT I DONT KNOW WHEN
WELL I RAN INTO DADDY BUT ITS BEEN SO LONG
I DONT TELL MOMMA, I DONT LET ON

GOT THE BROKEN PROMISES
GOT THE BROKEN HOME
DONT BREAK YOURSELF ON A
HEART OF STONE

WELL I GOT DRUNK WITH DADDY JUST THE OTHER NIGHT
HE SAID “HE WAS GLAD TO SEE I TURNED OUT ALRIGHT”
I HEAR PEOPLE SAYIN “LIKE FATHER LIKE SON”
DONT THINK ABOUT IT MUCH BUT I WORRY BOUT IT SOME

A HEART OF STONE
DONT BREAK YOURSELF
ON A HEART OF STONE
DONT BREAK YOURSELF
ON A HEART OF STONE

Tune down 1/2 step to Eb

I think Chris actually tunes down one whole
step to D and uses a capo on the first fret –
the strings seem to ‘slap’ more and give the
song a different dynamic

A busted bottle on the railroad tracks
Walkin’ and talkin’ to that monkey on my back
Catch that monkey try to throw him down
But the monkey think it’s funny just ridin’ around

Down the road goin’ nowhere
Down the road almost there

Ain’t nobody livin’ at the (Clinch?) Hotel
Devil done been there took all my friends to Hell
Hadn’t been in the jail house he woulda got me
Seen a black flag flyin’ from a live oak tree

Down the road goin’ nowhere
Down the road almost there

Seen my mama last night she was sittin’ by my bed
Worried ‘bout you son was the only thing she said
Ten years now mama been gone
She’s still tryin’ to teach me what’s right and what’s wrong

Down the road goin’ nowhere
Down the road almost there
Down the road goin’ nowhere
Down the road almost there

corrections appreciated

GO ON HOME – CHRIS KNIGHT

CAPO 1

INTRO: G Em C G Em C

I USE TO RUN FROM THE PAST
BUT THE WORLD GOT TO SPINNIN SO FAST
I RUN FROM THE FUTURE NOW
I RUN AS FAST AS I CAN
TRYIN TO BE A SIMPLE MAN
I JUST WANT TO SLOW DOWN

WELL LAUGH IF YOU WANT TO
CALL ME A BACKWARDS FOOL
BUT I AINT TAKIN THIS RIDE
YA’LL JUST GO ON AHEAD AND GO
LET ME OUT BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
ALL I WANNA DO IS GO ON HOME

DONT GO ONLINE I DONT WATCH TV
CAUSE I KNOW ALL IM GONNA SEE
IS SOMETHING STUPID GOIN ON
STUPIDS IN THE WATER THESE DAYS
THEY’RE GONNA DRINK IT ANY WAY
TIL THEY DONT KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG

YEAH LAUGH IF YOU WANT TO
CALL ME A BACKWARDS FOOL
BUT I AINT TAKIN THIS RIDE
YA’LL JUST GO ON AHEAD AND GO
LET ME OUT BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
ALL I WANNA DO IS GO ON HOME

YEAH ALL I WANNA DO IS GO ON HOME

DANVILLE – CHRIS KNIGHT

CAPO I

LET HIM SIT IN THE KITCHEN
TIL THE RED ROOSTER CROWS
AND DRINK BOOTLEG WHISKEY
TIL HE LOSES CONTROL
LET HIM FIND HIM SOMEBODY
HE CAN TREAT LIKE A DOG
LET THE HOUSE FALL DOWN
AND LET HIM GROW OLD

CHORUS:
BUT SHE AINT GOIN BACK
SHE AINT GOIN BACK
SHE AINT GOIN BACK TO DANVILLE
TIL SHES DEAD

HE GOT THE WHOLE TOWN BELIEVIN
THAT SHE WAS TO BLAME
THIS TOWNS FILLED WITH PEOPLE
WITH HIS LAST NAME

SHES HEARD THAT THE DEVIL
LIVES WAY DOWN BELOW
BUT THE DEVILS LITTLE BROTHER
LIVES ON OLD DANVILLE ROAD

REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

NOW HER MOMMAS TOMBSTONE
SITS HIGH ON A HILL
SHE BEEN GONE SEVEN YEARS
SHE MISSES HER STILL

BUT ONE FINE DAY
THEYLL BE TOGETHER AGAIN
SHELL GO BACK TO DANVILLE
IF THEYLL LET HER IN

REPEAT CHORUS X 2

HELL AINT HALF FULL

HEART OF STONE

CAPO I

INTRO: A E A E B7 A E

I GET UP IN THE MORNIN, I FALL OUT OF BED
GO DOWN TO THE BASEMENT, COOK UP A LITTLE METH
ALL THE YOUNG FOLKS LOVE IT, THEYRE COMIN BACK FOR MORE
AINT IT GOOD TO BE WORKIN, GOT YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR

CHORUS:
HEY HELL AINT HALF FULL
GOT THE LIGHT ON FOR YOU SON
HELL AINT HALF FULL
ROOM FOR EVERYONE

THEY CHASED GOD AND JESUS, OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS
AND EVERYBODY’S LIVIN, BY THEIR OWN SET OF RULES
YEAH THAT PREACHER ON THE CORNER, NOTHIN GOOD TO SAY
BETTER THINK OF SOMETHIN BOY, COME THE JUDGEMENT DAY

REPEAT CHORUS

I DREAMED I HAD, A CRYSTAL BALL
BUT THERE WASNT MUCH HOPE, IN THE WORLD I SAW
YEAH THERE WASNT NO LUCK, AND THERE WASNT NO LAW
AND UP IN HEAVEN ABOVE, GOD WASNT PAYIN MUCH
ATTENTION AT ALL

REPEAT CHORUS

GOT THE VACANCY SIGN
AND HELL AINT HALF FULL
