The End

The End (Adams/Panes)

From Ryan Adams and the Cardinals – Jacksonville City Nights

Lyrics/Chords transcribed by N. Papador

The song is in a country waltz feel… 3 beats per chord. I've placed the chord

symbols approximately where they coincide with the words.

INTRO

VERSE 1

I don’t know the sound of my father’s voice

I don’t even know how he says my name

But it plays out like song on a jukebox in a bar

In the back of my head till it’s worrying machine

And in the cotton fields by the house where I was born

The leaves burn like effigies of my kin

And the trains run like snakes through the Pentecostal pines

Filled up with cotton and dime store gin

CHORUS I

Jacksonville, how you burden in my soul

How you hold all my dreams captive

Jacksonville, how you play with my mind

How my heart goes bad

Suffocating on the pines in Jacksonville

INTRO

The end the end

Verse 2/Chorus 2 – same chords

Quiet Instrumental break

OUTRO

The end the end the end
