Artist: Keith Caputo
Song: Ramshackle
Album: Heart's blood on your dawn
October 22nd 2007
OK, this song has some of the weirdest chords I've ever played.
Still: a great song, even with just one acoustic guitar. I added
a few notes here and there to spice up the single strings a little.
Standard E tuning
Verse riff with corrresponding chords. The guitars improvise a lot,
especially on the C chord.

Lyrics:
Ramshackle
been ramshackled uclers knocking at my door
ive kept it together trippin in a dead boys orb
yearning for her snow rose city lights, the seasons swirl
and i dropped my shiver in light forever..
so lets just get out of this mess
and pick a tender with no reply
my girl i cant live without her
her soul ill sink without her
pretty us, pretty wild, pretty tears
in her face
so lets just get out of this mess
i might have to medicate before i go bezerk
im down in on empty but i wish i wasnt
ashes to ashes dust to dust
i dropped my shiver and light forever..
lets just get out of this mess
