Tow The Devil Makes Three
(Live)
Note: This is mostly from their live version on "A Little Bit Faster and A Little Bit
Worse" but there's a tiny bit of my own arrangement going on.
Guitarists may want to use a capo at the third fret (and adjust chords accordingly),
otherwise - It should be played on a Tenor Banjo or Tenor Guitar. ;)
The intro is half a verse (to the first D7).
[Gm]Someone left a child and[Cm] did not even care
Before the [Gm]first shots of the battle here had [D]even pierced the air
Yes, they [Gm]run now like them children to those [Cm]arms of mother earth
Trying to [Gm]pretend as if there was a day be[D]fore their very birth[D7]
But me, [D]I just grab these [D7]ropes that me and [C]mine have left b[C7]ehind
And I [Cm]stare up to that [Cm7]mountain that I [D]know I got to cli[D7]mb
I keep towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-mm-[Cm]mmmm[Cm7]
I keep towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-[D]mmmm[D7]
[D] [D7] [C] [C7] [Cm] [Cm7] [D] [D7]
[Gm]Well down in basements choked with [Cm]smoke child of the past
All them [Gm]dreams come up for air round here but [D]they can only gasp
All them [Gm]old men they sit staring as life [Cm]slips out from their grips
Only to [Gm]fall and disappear beyond their [D]cracked old finger[D7]tips
But me, [D]I just grab these [D7]ropes me and [C]mine have left be[C7]hind
And I [Cm]stare up to that [Cm7]daemon that I [D]know has got to [D7]die
I keep towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-mm-[Cm]mmmm[Cm7]
I keep towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-[D]mmmm[D7]
[D] [D7] [C] [C7] [Cm] [Cm7] [D] [D7]
SOLO: Gm / Cm / Gm / D D7 D D7
[C] [C7] [Cm] [Cm7] [D] [D7]
I keep towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-mm-[Cm]mmmm[Cm7]
I keep towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-[D]mmmm[D7]
[D] [D7] [C] [C7] [Cm] [Cm7] [D] [D7]
[Gm]But down in ditches by that [Cm]road I call my own
All of [Gm]you come up cussin' now and [D]all just throwing stones
Yes they're [Gm]big men now to settle down and [Cm]life's so stale and cold
As if [Gm]I could ever do the way they [D]do just as they're [D7]told
[D] [D7] [C]
So i[C7]f you should find me living low when the miles have passed me by
And it [Cm]seems that I have [Cm7]left now all that [D]I could love [D7]behind
I'm just towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-mm-[Cm]mmmm[Cm7]
I'm just towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-[D]mmmm[D7]
I'm just towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-mm-[Cm]mmmm[Cm7]
I'm just towin' that [Gm]line - Mm-mmm-[D]mmmm[D7]
[D] [D7] [C] [C7] [Cm] [Cm7] [D] [D]
I'm a big fan of accurate, legible, and neatly formatted charts that are
typically true to studio versions, with noted exceptions.
Any and all suggestions and corrections to my transcriptions are welcome
