Kunci Gitar Whiskeytown - Jacksonville Skyline

written by ryan adams
album : pneumonia

the guitar is tuned 1/2 step down so if you play in standard tuning just play on the key of B .
this tab is according to the album version . i’ve see videos of ryan play this live recently and
he sometimes in the chorus does Am to G to F , but that is not how it is recorded in pneumonia .

verse 1
C
well the banks of the river run through my hometown
C F
born on the dirt roads , and i scraped my knees
C
well they paved the roads eventually
C F
with neon signs and car dealerships and diners

chorus
G Am F
the soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends
G Am F G C
i saw the pretty women as i walked through town

verse 2
C
well i moved away soon as i turned sixteen
C F
figured i was old enough to go and work a job
C
well i floated down main street pools of carlights
C F
overcame me wishin’ i was still back home

chorus
G Am F
the soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends
G Am F G C
i saw the pretty women as i walked through town

verse 3
C
jacksonville’s a city with a hopeless streetlight
C F
seems like you’re lucky if it ever changes red to green
C
i was born in an abundance of inherited sadness
C F
with 50 cent picture frames bought at a five and dime

chorus
G Am F
i ended up a soldier on the weekend
G Am F
looking for a vacancy i wasn’t able to find
G Am F
somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket
G Am F G C
shoot it with my capgun just to make it seem like stars

thank you
