Hola internets, I've been looking for this song for quite some time now, as it is just flippin catchy to listen to. I don't know if there is much demand for it, but I'm guessing there have got to be a couple people out there looking for some of these guys' songs. I'm sure about the chords, but I'm not sure about the lyrics... probably about 90% right (at best). The singer has a very casual way of saying the words (which is pretty awesome), so just focus on the end consonants or assonance in the parts that don't make sense, and you're golden. For strum pattern you'll just have to listen to the song. Oh and there is a short pretty simple solo, I picked it out before but didn't write it down, so I'll probably add that on soon. For the intro just play two lines or so worth of the chords... it's an intro, just make something up (you don't have to worry too much, this is a three chord song). Verse one: Am Way down south where the swamplands grow, E Am I was messin where nobody goes Am Fishin for my dinner in a craw daddy bed E Am I fell in yah-and I broke my neck Am When down from the bottom of the mucky depths, E A girl stood up and stole my breath, Am (just let chords ring out here instead of strumming) She said “aint no need, gotta come with me, E Am Dont be alarmed cause you got something I need Am Im Happy to have met you my name is jess E I think its time we left.” Chorus: Dm Tell my family tell my kin, Am I won’t be comin home again E The grim reapers name is Jess, Am shes been fair and I feel quite blessed. (alright) Verse 2: Eyes like fire and skin like ice Sweet water to carry her 'way. Getting away to a secret hole To a place where she take my soul From the land of the living to the land of the dead. When I heard this no tears were shed Bridge*: (same chords as chorus) Dm Am The worms conspired E Am The life I had now has expired Dm Am Bathed in fire E Am To live again is my desire Chorus Verse 3: Like a candle my flame is out Certain of this there is no doubt Just one thing that needs to be known Will I float like a log or sink like a stone? Bridge Chorus *Honestly I don't know if I used the term "bridge" right or not, and I don't really care... I'm sure there are some hard-core musicians pretty pissed right now though. Order: Verse 1 Chorus Verse 2 Bridge Chorus Verse 3 Bridge Chorus Alright hoped this helped someone!
