Bucket List Grandmas - John Craigie
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: SirRotenous
Tuning: Standard
This is great up-tempo jam by John Craigie. I am not sure if he uses the simple chords I have listed here or
slight variations on them, but it sounds good with these so I thought I would start there, and if anyone has
other ideas I've love to see them. This is my first time trying to make a strumming pattern as part of a chord
sheet, so feedback would be appreciated there as well. I think it sounds pretty good. Feel free to play other
strumming patterns if that one doesn't work for you, the song will still sound good!
There are short instrumental jams after each chorus, he just stays on G as the solo guitar goes.
[Intro]
G (with included strumming pattern) x4
[Verse 1]
GI slept through the earthquake that leveled this town
I won't sleep through the next one I’m wide awake now
And all the C7drugs in this world couldn't calm me down
All the Ggirls in this city couldn't turn me around
ExDcept for this one chick, she knows who she is
She got me C7speaking in tongues every time we kiss
But I ain’t Dready for her, she ain't ready for me
We'll meet C7back up when we're old when there ain't nothing left to see
[Chorus]
ah Gyeah
I weep when I'm alC7one, I smile through the Grest
I laugh cause I Dknow the truth, C7 Every light is surrGounded by darkness
[Verse 2]
GI stole a bunch of shit from ol' Blaze Foley
He's dead now and I’m all alone
I’ve been C7listening to Donovan they're kicking my ass
I’ve been Gsinging to these hipsters, they ain't singing back
I'd Dlove to tell you all the things I've seen
But the C7truth is something that you never could believe
And I Dain’t gonna be there when you die
I'll be C7holding up the candle to god's bloodshot eyes
[Chorus]
ah Gyeah
I weep when I'm alC7one, I smile through the Grest
I laugh cause I Dknow the truth, C7 Every light is surrGounded by darkness
[Verse 3]
GY'all got your groupies they hang and they linger
I've got bucket list grandmas and young male folk singers
C7Asking me questions trying to get some gigs
I say, Gdon't be in such a hurry to lose everything
Cause I Dbinged last night and I'm starving today
In this C7goddamned job there ain't no consistency
[Chorus]
ah Gyeah
I weep when I'm alC7one, I smile through the Grest
I laugh cause I Dknow the truth, C7 Every light is surrGounded by darkness
[Verse 4]
GIf you see my mama don't tell her I'm this skinny
If you see my mama don't tell her bout my fall
If you C7see my mama maybe the best thing
Is to Gnot tell my mama that you saw me at all
If the Dcancer don't kill us then the texting will
Trying to C7dial in a bone driving off some cliff
[Chorus]
ah Gyeah
I weep when I'm alC7one, I smile through the Grest
I laugh cause I Dknow the truth, C7 Every light is surrGounded by darkness
