Drive By Truckers - Dankomanuel

[ capo 2 ] i think it is easier to play at capo 2 and sounds more like the song on
the album . also it is much easier to do the bhc – B with your index finger on the B
string , which he does throughout the song .

richard manuel is dead

god forbid you call their bluff
like the nightmares ain’ enough
remember when we used to think that we were tough?
god forbid you call their bluff

first they make you out to be
the only pirate on the sea
they say danko would have sounded just like me
is that the man i want to be?

can you hear that singing , sounds like gold
maybe i , could make it bigger overseas
fifteen years ago they owned that road
now it only gives us somewhere else to leave
Em
something else you can’t believe .

can you hear that singing , sounds like gold
maybe i , can hear poor richard from the grave
singing where to reap and when to sow
when you’ve found , another home you have to leave
