This track is from the cd shine eyed mister zen by Kelly Joe Phelps. A stunning guitarist and song writer. I think I did it justice here, just a guitar and a voice through a mic. The window was open hence the car and seagul sounds in the background.

Gm F5add9 drums are still playing i can see them marching close Cm7/Eb Dm7b9 Dm7 Cm7 this he walks like a shadow and that he dances like a ghost Dm7b9 the one that looks like jimmy lord he scares me the most Cm/Eb F5add9 Gm river rat jimmy and jehoshaphat Cm/Eb F5add9 Gm river rat jimmy and jehoshaphat playing boyhood mumbly peg a six inch bowie blade out the top of my redwing kickers and down a muddy slippery grade to the fever pitch savannah where grandaddy lay river rat jimmy and jehoshaphat river jimmy ghosty face ate off the kitchen floor cause woman mom threw dinner plates at drunken dad on the door he would cop us cans of beer and close his eyes and soar river rat jimmy and jehoshaphat shouting revelation out a boyman child of ten never looking up to heaven it was heaven there and then we wrapped our bloody fingers like a shine eyed mister zen river rat jimmy and jehoshaphat neither us knew who would pop and who would sink the lake and who would run off fast enough before the bow string'd break man we was crying for tomorrow through the crying and the shake river rat jimmy and jehoshaphat
