Cadillac Sky - Tired Old Phrases
from Letters in the Deep (2010)
I first figured this one out without a capo, but it is easier to play with capo. When David Mayfield
plays this he uses capo 4 (or even 5 sometimes higher) using C chords (C, G, F, Am7). You can hit the
transpose button down to -4 for those chords. When Ross Holmes strums it he uses capo 2 (D A G Bm7,
tranpose -2) And Matt Menefee picks out with no capo though I can't tell if with these chords or
with a guitar tuned down a whole step.
Other than a couple of Emaj7 embellishments in verses 3 & 4 the chords are the same for
the verses and instrumentals.
E xx2100
Emaj7 xx2130
B7 xx1202
A xx2220
C#m7 xx6454 or xx2104
Picking: something like strings 4 2 3 2 1 2 3 2 (or 4 3 4 2 1 2 3 2
or 4 3 2 3 1 3 2 3 ?)
e|------0---------2------------0--------------------4--------22---0---0---|
B|---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0------2-2-2-2--------------5-5-5-5---0-000-000-0-0-0|

D|--2---------1------------2--------------------6---------1-------2-------|

Hopefully someone who knows something about bluegrass can verify this or get the picking
more exact.

[Intro]
I don't know if I've said anything
in this life that's worth re-mem-ber-ing
Nothing bold, nothing brave
just these tired old phrases
And I don't know what they mean
I've written my old self a letter
I've moved on, I already forget her
She's gone, we're alone, far from our home
but I promised me things will get better
[instrumental]
(piano) e f# g# c# d# e c# e f# g# a b e
The Devil is laughing at me
he knows all the evil I've seen
And though he helped them begin
I own all my sins
And the fault lies clearly with me
I'm tired of coming home smelly
half a bottle of Jack in my belly
My eyes red, my throat sore
My young body too worn out to
still only be in it's twenties
[instrumental]

And I'm sorry for being so bad
to my dear old mother and dad
I threw some fits,
they put up with it
and now I owe them all that I am
Someday when my folks meet their end
if by chance I live longer than them
For the love that they gave
and the music we made
I'll be proud to have called them my friends
