 "Awake in the Dirt" - Kevin Devine (GDB)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------   

This song was inspired by the book "American Pastoral" by Philip Roth. 
It's tentative title was "Merry Levov" (after the female radical character).

--VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
       G
Dad I know
          Gb
You can't see
          Gb7
My actions as
            Bm
A plea for peace


--VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
               G
You can't get past
                  Gb
The rocks stained red
               Gb7
The nail-bomb blast
            Bm
The doctor dead


--VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
               G
Your prairie dream
               Gb
Your liberal heart
              Gb7
Your patient mind
              Bm
You father's arms


--ALT VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
                G
They just won't do
                Gb
They just can't fit
               Gb7
It's them, not Marx
                   D
You can blame for this


--CHORUS:
D                 Bb -> A -> D
Alive in the dirt
D             G   
Alive in the dirt
        Gb7                 Bm
I'm at peace, sainted and waiting
        G (*see below for notes)
For my perfect pain to speak through me again


--BREAK 1:
Bm > (G) > Gb > Gb7


--VERSE:
Bm           G
Dad I found God
           Gb
Through Vietnam
           Gb7
My Lai's graves
            Bm
And Agent Orange


--VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
              G
See we live lives
          Gb
We must choose
                 Gb7
Our bombs spoke loud
            Bm
So I spoke, too


--VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
             G
Then disappeared,
                Gb
Ten miles from home
         Gb7
a Newark slum
                Bm
Where you won't go


--ALT VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
                 G
It's here I've found
           Gb
My higher self
             Gb7
A life that works
              D
And suits me well


--ALT CHORUS:
D                   Bb -> A -> D
I pray for the dirt
D               G   
I pray for the dirt
      Gb7                Bm
And I ask to suffer in silence
Bb                       G
To stay here in hell, ohhhhhhh


--BREAK 2:
C             Ab -> G -> C
Awake in the dirt, ohhhhh-ohhhh-ohhhhh
C             Ab -> G -> Em
Awake in the dirt, ohhhhh-ohhhh-ohhhhh
Em            Am
Awake in the dirt, now.

G (see below for notes)


--VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
             G
My stutter lifts
                Gb
My words come clear
             Gb7
Your little girl
                Bm
She's just not here


--VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
      G
I am sure
            Gb
That at my death
                Gb7
The truth will float
                Bm
on God's sweet breath


--ALT VERSE:
Bm (-carried over-)
             G
Until that time
              Gb
don't ask for me
            Gb7
Behind this veil
              D
is where I'll be


--CHORUS:
D                 Bb -> A -> D
At one with the dirt
D                G   
At one with the dirt
        Gb7                 Bm
I'm at peace, sainted and waiting
        G (*see below for notes)
For my perfect pain to speak through me for good


-OUTRO:
Bm -> G -> Gb -> Gb7
Bm -> G -> Gb -> Gb7

Not absolutely sure about this next part, but it is a rough estimate.
