Standard Tuning

[INTRO]

D Em G

[VERSE]

Headed north out of North Alabama with the

Em G

sun cutting through the clouds

And the bruise still feels a little tender from the

Em G

blows that took us down

Lights went down and the cameras stopped rolling just as

Em G

soon as we tuned them up

Just another kind of common situation that

Em G

follows us in our truck

G D A G

Sometimes it makes you feel like the dawn won’t ever come

[CHORUS]

D Em G

In the hand never was the bird

D Em G Bm

And the bushes were burned down to the black wood

A D G Bm

I never, oh I never

A G

thought it would go this far

D Em G

[VERSE]

All the sure things and the cigarette deals are

Em G

ashes in the tray

Take them out spread them on the ground to

Em G

guide us on our way

When you’re looking at the bottom of the barrel better

Em G

soak up the lingering buzz

Scrape up the change for the next

Em G

22 to keep you going strong

D A G

That eastern horizon is lighting up

[CHORUS]

In the hand never was the bird

D Em G Bm

And the bushes were burned down to the black wood

A D G Bm

I never, oh I never

A G

thought it would go this far

Hold up now I see the

rising of the fog

Amber beams are ringing true

But on the breeze I hear the

D A G

song of the Bush Stone-curlew

[CHORUS]

In the hand never was the bird

D Em G Bm

And the bushes were burned down to the black wood

A D G Bm

I never, oh I never

A Em G Bm

thought it would go this far

A D G Bm

I never, oh I never
