I don't think these are the exact picking patterns, but they gets to job done I suppose.
Gavin also occasionally adds an 0h2 hammer-on on the A string for G chords and on
the D string for C chords.
Well, I woke up this morning with dead leaves inside my bed.
You said "You're better off just where you are than to be stuck in my head.
You've got to leave it all behind you and give yourself up to chance."
So I gave myself to chance.
And I packed a little suitcase, brushed my teeth and washed my hands.
I've been bluffing here for years and now I think it's time I showed my hand.
I'm going to move to New York City and set the sky on fire.
Oh, don't the night look so alive with it's desire
To cross the River Jordan?
But it just don't feel the same.
When I came home Friday morning
With no one but myself to blame.
See I have trouble with numbers and paying the ones I owe.
And I put what I had left in the pocket of my coat.
I went out to find a liquor store and make a home there in the snow,
Give myself a little shelter from the cold.
See, I was bound here by my choices.
Oh my god how I felt so ashamed.
Still I hoped that you might join us
And take this little light of ours out on parade
Melodica Section (played twice):
I used to look at others and try to find a way to grow.
And now I just look around and I'm going to reap the seeds I've sown.
And I try to picture myself in Oslo but lord help me if I go.
I've been running around and I believe it's starting to show.
And so I'll cross the River Jordan
And if it just don't feel the same.
And I'm not home Friday morning
I'll have no one but myself to blame.
Thanks. Enjoy.
