Yelawolf – Shadows (ft. Joshua Hedley)
[Intro]
Cm Eb Bb D Bb Eb D Ab
[Chorus]
GbMemoAmries of Dshadow’s Cmhaunt me,Eb  Bb  
GFrom Dthe years when I was Cmyoung,G  Bb  
EbThings Amthat Dused to tCmerrify me,Eb  Bb  
AmAre the things, DThat I’ve GbecomeBb  
[Verse 1]
GThere’s a Ddark moon in the clouds,
GMisty fog in the swamp,
GCrickets chirpping outside my window; the water it thumps,
GIn the bathroom sink down the hall,
GThe lights flicker sometimes,
GThe wind is howling-
BbThe dogs are growling way Gdeep in the pines,
GA passing car on the distant road, The only thing running
GNightmares in my sleep, The Sandman is coming
GI see the ghost in the red cloak,
GThe shadows are taking shape,
The Bbsound of a faint Gvoice, lost and full of hate,
GDry leaves crumble under the feet of the Reaper,
GThe limbs tap on my window, like the nails of a creature,
GTales of goblins and fairies,
GA sacrifice on the prairie,
BbA murderer that escaped, GI’m disillusioned and weary,
GLightning strikes on the hill,
GIlluminating the cabin,
GThe old man on the porch, evil and quietly laughing,
Gsurrounded by demons,
I’m an angel and Bbthey all want me,
BbAnd to this day,
[Chorus]
DMemories of Cmshadow’s haunt meG,Bb  
GFrom the Dyears when I was Cmyoung,
GThings that Dused to teCmrrify me,G  Bb  
BbAre the Dthings, That I’ve becomeG,Bb  
[Verse 2]
BbCigaGrette butts, and oil stains on the dying grass,
GThe smell of the liquor, rising up from the broken glass
GThe crowds of black leather, The heat from the engines,
Motorcycles and BbGoons, CmBearded men anGd loud women,
GThe crackling paint, The old shack with the swinging light,
GThe * * passing, Open in plain sight,
GOzzy and Black Sabbath, The vinyl is skipping,
From the fight in the Bbkitchen,
GBlood screaming and kicking,
GSmoke fills up the sky, Gasoline on the trash heap,
GThe mattress is burning, I hear it popping and snapping,
GThe rain soaked teddy bear, so heavy I can’t lift it,
The Bbflask for the moonshine, GI watch as they all sip it,
GThe Halloween pumpkin candle lit with a Pentagram,
GThe Grandfather Clock, with a broken minute hand,
GSurrounded by thieves, killers,
GThugs and some j,
And to this Bbday,
[Chorus]
DMemories of Cmshadow’s haunt meG,Bb  
GFrom the Dyears when I was Cmyoung,
GThings that Dused to teCmrrify me,G  Bb  
BbAre the Dthings, That I’ve becomeG,Bb  
[Verse 3]
GI throw on my Ebleather jacket, a Dcollection of biker patches,
One of them says savage, The other one Black Sabbath,
Heavily Ebtatted, barely any skin left,
DWhiskey bent after twelve,
I’m always playing with death,
EbBullet shells in my yard, DLoaded gun on the shelf,
Run the roads like a wolf, through the whole Bible Belt,
Rattlesnake skin Ebboots, Toes up on Dthe chopper,
Fifty Harleys behind me, They all ready to slaughter,
EbDrunk in front of my sons,
DDrunk in front of my daughter,
Spit, cuss, and I yell,
It’s like a Bbone-sided Dquarter,
Eb‘Cause I’m only heads up. no matter wDhich way you flip it,
No brake lights in my life, I’m either Bbrich or Devicted,
EbCommitted to my convictions,
Committed crimes with the quitters,
DConnected to my religion, The religion of sinners,
EbSend a prayer to god,
DExhaling smoke off the *,
DLike puddles reflecting the ripples echo to next life,
GSo Ebhere I am standing just like the ashes that fell from the fire,
A seed that fell off that pBboisonous anDd forgotten flower,
GBecame my own Ebnightmare,
DBut now I think it’s charming,
Especially Ebwhen,
[Chorus]
GbMemoAmries of Dshadow’s Cmhaunt me,Eb  Bb  
GFrom Dthe years when I was Cmyoung,G  Bb  
EbThings Amthat Dused to tCmerrify me,Eb  Bb  
AmAre the things, DThat I’ve GbecomeBb

Yelawolf – Shadows (ft. Joshua Hedley)

[Intro]

Cm Eb Bb D Bb Eb D Ab

[Chorus]

Gb Am D Cm Eb Bb

Memories of shadow’s haunt me,

G D Cm G Bb

From the years when I was young,

Eb Am D Cm Eb Bb

Things that used to terrify me,

Am D G Bb

Are the things, That I’ve become

[Verse 1]

G D

There’s a dark moon in the clouds,

Misty fog in the swamp,

Crickets chirpping outside my window; the water it thumps,

In the bathroom sink down the hall,

The lights flicker sometimes,

The wind is howling-

Bb G

The dogs are growling way deep in the pines,

A passing car on the distant road, The only thing running

Nightmares in my sleep, The Sandman is coming

I see the ghost in the red cloak,

The shadows are taking shape,

Bb G

The sound of a faint voice, lost and full of hate,

Dry leaves crumble under the feet of the Reaper,

The limbs tap on my window, like the nails of a creature,

Tales of goblins and fairies,

A sacrifice on the prairie,

Bb G

A murderer that escaped, I’m disillusioned and weary,

Lightning strikes on the hill,

Illuminating the cabin,

The old man on the porch, evil and quietly laughing,

surrounded by demons,

I’m an angel and they all want me,

And to this day,

[Chorus]

D Cm G Bb

Memories of shadow’s haunt me,

G D Cm

From the years when I was young,

G D Cm G Bb

Things that used to terrify me,

Bb D G Bb

Are the things, That I’ve become,

[Verse 2]

Bb G

Cigarette butts, and oil stains on the dying grass,

The smell of the liquor, rising up from the broken glass

The crowds of black leather, The heat from the engines,

Bb Cm G

Motorcycles and Goons, Bearded men and loud women,

The crackling paint, The old shack with the swinging light,

The * * passing, Open in plain sight,

Ozzy and Black Sabbath, The vinyl is skipping,

From the fight in the kitchen,

Blood screaming and kicking,

Smoke fills up the sky, Gasoline on the trash heap,

The mattress is burning, I hear it popping and snapping,

The rain soaked teddy bear, so heavy I can’t lift it,

Bb G

The flask for the moonshine, I watch as they all sip it,

The Halloween pumpkin candle lit with a Pentagram,

The Grandfather Clock, with a broken minute hand,

Surrounded by thieves, killers,

Thugs and some j,

And to this day,

[Chorus]

D Cm G Bb

Memories of shadow’s haunt me,

G D Cm

From the years when I was young,

G D Cm G Bb

Things that used to terrify me,

Bb D G Bb

Are the things, That I’ve become,

[Verse 3]

G Eb D

I throw on my leather jacket, a collection of biker patches,

One of them says savage, The other one Black Sabbath,

Heavily tatted, barely any skin left,

Whiskey bent after twelve,

I’m always playing with death,

Eb D

Bullet shells in my yard, Loaded gun on the shelf,

Run the roads like a wolf, through the whole Bible Belt,

Eb D

Rattlesnake skin boots, Toes up on the chopper,

Fifty Harleys behind me, They all ready to slaughter,

Drunk in front of my sons,

Drunk in front of my daughter,

Spit, cuss, and I yell,

Bb D

It’s like a one-sided quarter,

Eb D

‘Cause I’m only heads up. no matter which way you flip it,

Bb D

No brake lights in my life, I’m either rich or evicted,

Committed to my convictions,

Committed crimes with the quitters,

Connected to my religion, The religion of sinners,

Send a prayer to god,

Exhaling smoke off the *,

Like puddles reflecting the ripples echo to next life,

G Eb

So here I am standing just like the ashes that fell from the fire,

Bb D

A seed that fell off that poisonous and forgotten flower,

G Eb

Became my own nightmare,

But now I think it’s charming,

Especially when,

[Chorus]

Gb Am D Cm Eb Bb

Memories of shadow’s haunt me,

G D Cm G Bb

From the years when I was young,

Eb Am D Cm Eb Bb

Things that used to terrify me,

Am D G Bb

Are the things, That I’ve become
