Shakey Graves - Climb on the Cross


[Verse 1]
     Am       G                   G        Am
Well tell the televangelist she's out of a job
     Am                G               G         Am
Cause I look good on a cross and I can sure sing along
     Am          G         G          Am
Overrated, under-educated, simple and dry
     Am          G               G             Am
Who knew a man's fate was such a hard thing to find

[Bridge]
            D               Dsus4      Em7        C/B
But now I'm spending all my money on a badge and a gun
               D                Dsus4             Em7       C/B
Cause shooting strangers in the back seems like a lot more fun
          D           Dsus4              Em7   C/B
I'll just walk around pretending I'm the only one

[Pre-Chorus]
      Bm             Bm/Gb
Never listened to my teacher
        Bm            Bm/Gb    Bbm   Am
Trusted every word my preacher would say
       Bm              Bm/Gb    Bm         Bm/Gb Bbm  Am    C6(9)/Gb
Always thought the crosshair was simply the sun on my face

[Chorus]
       G            Em           C/B                C/B
But if nothing dies tomorrow why remember yesterday
       G                Em                  C/B      C/B
When an hour or more of sleep might do you good
         G            Em                     C/B                    C/B
It's the wish I can't remember yeah it's the thing you'll never say
            G         Em            C/B      C/B
Oh, and I'd do it all again oh if I could

[Verse 2]
              Am          G                   G               Am
So fight your family and friends and let them know you're the best
     Am          G          G           Am
Yeah tattoo "radical" right across your chest
Am          G              G        Am
No need for love, you were born to impress

[Pre Chorus]
           Bm          Bm/Gb        Bm           Bm/Gb   Bbm   Am
Well, everybody always told me if I made a funny face it would stay
       Bm         Bm/Gb                Bm           Bm/Gb   Bbm  Am    C6(9)/Gb
So you better get hip, come and take a liking to me looking this way

[Chorus and outro]
                      G               Em
Yeah, cause it's been years without a memory
     C/B                  C/B
Just ears, a nose, a face
              G                Em             C/B     C/B
Yeah, just to find out fucking up was in your blood
         G            Em
It's the wish I can't remember
         C/B                     C/B
It's the thing you'll never say
          G         Em                 C/B     C/B
And you'd do it all again, oh, if you could
            G         Em                C/B     C/B
Yeah, you'd do it all again, oh, if you could
        G          Em
Seems a year until tomorrow
     C/B                C/B
Or a week from yesterday
G              Em          C/B    C/B
Counting never did me any good
         G              Em          C/B                    C/B
It’s the wish I can’t remember, the thing you’ll never say
    G         Em             C/B     C/B
I’d do it all again,oh, if I could.
