Too Early
:::::::::
Jay Farrar
from Son Volt, "Trace"
G C
Mileage has taken its toll, painted with lines to show,
Am Em G
D
You've had your fill of asphalt, cough tremors and smoke-filled doors.
G C
Look like the habit controls you, look like you need a rest,
Am Em G D
You've made it to the teller line, don't know what to expect.
(chorus)
Am C
God knows you don't need it,
Em G
Too early you might be the one.
D
Find yourself someone else,
C
Too early in the sun.
Song strains distant over the barroom drink-filled roar,
The old folksinger lays it down, not for long, no longer ignored.
Spinning tales of temptation, of gambling days lost and won,
No crimes committed here, too much habit could be the one.
(chorus)
Never seen half of what you've seen, real life never quite adds up.
The road goes on when the faces don't, word of mouth never tells the truth.
I'd like to hear your story told with a two-step beat and rhyme,
Could be Tennessee or Texas, on and on the mad road winds.
(chorus)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SON VOLT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
