It's All in Your Head
Diamond Rio (Diamond Rio IV)
The DR guitarist either uses hybrid picking or just regular fingerstyle 
to pick only the A, D, and G strings for the rhythm, and to sometimes includes 
holding the pinky on the B and high e strings in the 5th fret for a typical fuller 
"no third" rock sound. Sometimes I also play the D5 as a Dsus2 and lots of 
variations like that. Anyway a key element to this song is the no third sound, 
which changes to full 3rd included sounds when you hit the chorus.
[Verse 1]
A5Mama died young giving birth to a son in a home for wayward girls
Papa was a sidewalk, soapbox preacher looking forward to the end of the world
Every D5Friday night he'd pick Jesus a fight down at the local pool hall
A5Racking up souls, condemning all those caught behind the eightball
He said E"I preach the light, the light shows the way, don't ever trust what the government say
                          A5(mute)
we never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's all in your head"
[Verse 2]
A5Lucy was a messed up, dressed up waitress with a slightly tarnished heart of gold
She wasn't half bad for a new step mama, as far as step mama's go
Daddy D5knew she was the one as he baked in the sun in a parking lot preaching the truth
Up shot her hand and she cried, oh man "I feel it, yes, I feel it, I do"
It's Ebeen revealed to me down deep in my soul there were two shooters on the grassy knoll
                          A5(mute)
We never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's all in your head
"Let us sing..."
DIt's all interpreAtation
to Gfind the truth you gotta Dread between the Alines
Work Dout your own salvAatioDn
that Anarrow path is Ghard to define
                                             D   A   C   D   A(after 1st Chorus)
Heaven's more than a place it's a state of mind
A5In his quest for truth, Daddy was moved by the spirit to take up a snake
In a moment of doubt the venom turned out stronger than Daddy's faith
I'll D5never forget in his dying breath the last words that he said
                           A5(mute)
"We never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's all in your head"

It's All in Your Head

Diamond Rio (Diamond Rio IV)

The DR guitarist either uses hybrid picking or just regular fingerstyle

to pick only the A, D, and G strings for the rhythm, and to sometimes includes

holding the pinky on the B and high e strings in the 5th fret for a typical fuller

"no third" rock sound. Sometimes I also play the D5 as a Dsus2 and lots of

variations like that. Anyway a key element to this song is the no third sound,

which changes to full 3rd included sounds when you hit the chorus.

[Verse 1]

Mama died young giving birth to a son in a home for wayward girls

Papa was a sidewalk, soapbox preacher looking forward to the end of the world

Every Friday night he'd pick Jesus a fight down at the local pool hall

Racking up souls, condemning all those caught behind the eightball

He said "I preach the light, the light shows the way, don't ever trust what the government say

(mute)

we never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's all in your head"

[Verse 2]

Lucy was a messed up, dressed up waitress with a slightly tarnished heart of gold

She wasn't half bad for a new step mama, as far as step mama's go

Daddy knew she was the one as he baked in the sun in a parking lot preaching the truth

Up shot her hand and she cried, oh man "I feel it, yes, I feel it, I do"

It's been revealed to me down deep in my soul there were two shooters on the grassy knoll

We never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's all in your head

"Let us sing..."

It's all interpretation

(after 1st Chorus)
