The Avett Brothers are a non-traditional bluegrass band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. The two brothers, Seth and Scott, formed the group after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. More recently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as &quot;post civil-war modern rock&quot;, or by other reviewers as &quot;grungegrass&quot;.

La magie fraternelle musicale qui caractérise les chansons des Avett Brothers apparait de manière évidente sur I and Love and You, leur premier disque sur un grand label. Treize chansons dans un style Americana pure souche, un amalgame de folk, country, bluegrass, rock et pop. Au fil des années, les Avett brothers ont su se consolider une solide réputation grâce à leurs performances scéniques, aux côtés notamment de Dave Matthews Band.

The Avett Brothers es un grupo  folk-rock procedente de Carolina del Norte formada por dos hermanos, hijos de un pastor metodista: Scott y Seth, al banjo y la guitarra respectivamente (aunque en realidad son multiinstrumentistas) y completado por Bob Crawford (bajo) y y Joe Kwon.   En sus  álbumes se combina el blues, el punk, el pop, las melodías folk, el rock y hasta el ragtime para producir un sonido muy  propio .

The Traveling Song

G             D             G
So you want to be in love like the movies 
       G                  D              G
But in the movies they're not in love at all 
           Em               D
And with a twinkle in their eyes 
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies 


           Bm          C               G 
Now in the movies they make it look so perfect 
           Bm                 C                        G
And in the background they're always playing the right song 
           Bm             C             G
And in the ending there's always a resolution 
   Bm            C              G   D     C
But real life is more than just two hours long 


       G             D             G
So you want to be in love like the movies 
       G                  D              G
But in the movies they're not in love at all 
           Em               D
And with a twinkle in their eyes 
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies


             Bm               C             G 
Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie 
           Bm               C                      G 
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel 
       Bm                  C                   G 
But I don't see one single solitary light technician 
    Bm        C              G   D   C 
Or one single camera in this moonlit field 


        G             D             G
I don't want to be in love like the movies 
         G                  D              G
Cause in the movies they're not in love at all 
       Em               D
With a twinkle in their eyes 
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies

Love Like The Movies

(G)Oh tell me (D)please
That I don?t have to (Em)read
(G)Between the (C)lines

(G)Hey this is (D)me
And you don?t have to (Em)keep
(G)Something heavy on your (C)mind

(D)Did you (G)sleep  
(D)Not a (G)wink
(Bm)Well (G)neither did (C)I

I've never been too good at reading in
Between the lines
So babe spell it out
But you don?t have to shout
When you?re talking to me

Do you care, Are you there
Well neither am I

Don?t lock your door
Everyone is poor
Between the lines
And I could never steal
The sadness that you feel
When you?re changing your mind

Oh my dear, Can you hear
Well neither can I

I wanna live and I want you to live
Happy and free
But I don?t how to separate the now
From what used to be

Will you sleep, not a wink
Well neither will I

Love writes a letter and sends it to hate.
G            G           A           D
My vacations ending. I'm coming home late.
G               A            D         G
The weather was fine and the ocean was great
      D             A       G        G
and I can't wait to see you again.

  G               A    D           G
I should not have been gone for so long.

I'm your's and that's it, forever."
       D               A   G         G
You're mine and that's it, forever.

Repeat Chorus

Will You Return

(G)I've never (D)taken this (G)curve
(G)driving this (D)fast (G)before
(G)A glowing stop (D)sign but (Em)both lanes are (C)mine
no (G)seat belts (D)attached to my (G)door

Well my speed meter don't work
so I'm going to guess 95
maybe I'll fix it, and maybe I won't
It depends on my being alive

my bottle of bourbon is gone
It flew away all by itself
So if ever you find it, my photo behind it
In memory of me on your shelf

its been raining all day
and its been raining all night
A slip and slide highway
and I'm moving sideways
I'm loose but my steering wheel's tight

My '63 Ford is a bull
She's four thousand pounds at least
But metal surrenders when Oak trees meet fenders
and engines go through the front seat

I lost control in the curve
the gas line broke in the wreck
But I rose from the ashes with just a few scratches
my crucifix warm on my neck

Well the good Lord was with me tonight
Just riding beside me tonight
And now we're just talking
We're hitchhiking walking
We'll see you in Greenville tonight

And now we're just talking
we're hitchhiking walking
We'll see you in Greenville tonight

(superimpose your locale during last verse)

In The Curve

(Bm)For just one (C)chance to find
(G)Love with someone that you (Am)loved to find
(Bm)For just the (C)sense to try
(G)To walk ahead and leave the (C)pain behind
(Am)If the days aren?t easy (C)and the nights are rough
(Am)When they ask you what you?re (D)thinking of
(G)Say love, say for me (C)love
(G)Say love, say for me (C)love

Your heart says not again
What kind of mess have you got me in
But when the feelings there
It can lift you up and take you anywhere
With the gravel beneath you and the limbs above
If anybody asks you where your coming from
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love

(F)Say yes we live in(C)uncertainty
(F)And disappointments (C)have to be
(G)And everyday we (Am)might be facing (Em)more
(F)And yes we live in (C)desperate times
(F)With fading words and (C)shaky rhymes
(G)There?s only one thing (Am)here worth hoping (Em)for
(Am)With Lucifer beneath you and (C)God above
(Am)If either one of them asks you what your (D)living of
(G)Say love, say for me (C)love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love
Say love, say for me love

Living Of Love

(C)Shooting off vicious (F)collections of words
(C)The losers make facts by the (F)things they have heard
(C)And I find myself trying (F)hard to (G)defend them

(C)I made decisions some (F)right and some wrong
(C)And I let some love go I (F)wish wasn't gone
(C)These things and more I wish (F)I had not done(G)

(G)But I can't go (F)back
And I don't want (C)to
'Cause all my (F)mistakes
They brought me to (C)you

I have some "friends" they don't know who I am
So I write quotations around the word friends
But I have a couple that have always been there for me

And I missed some fun 'cause I worked through the dawn
Expecting your praise when I returned home
But I paid the cost 'cause I got left alone for the songs

But I can't go back
And I don't want to
'Cause all my mistakes
They brought me to you

All My Mistakes

G          Em              C           G
I would be sad because you left me all alone
           Em              C               G 
I would be sad because the lies that you had told me
           Em          C               D            G
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore
           Em          C          G
I would be sad for the love I had before

G                               Em 
I meant what I said when I said I would settle down with you
   C                                    D
although I know its not something that you were asking me to do
G                                    Em
And I know we are young but we won?t always be so marry me
C                                  D
Lets not be that predictable young couple change and moving on
 

But I can tell by watching you that there's no chance of pushing through
the odds are so against us you know that most young love it ends like this
 
G          Em              C           G
I would be sad because you left me all alone
           Em              C               G 
I would be sad because the lies that you had told me
           Em          C               D            G
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore
           Em          C          G
I would be sad .. wait there's more

G                                Em       C           D                   G
I meant what I said when I said I would rearrange my plans and change for you
G                                Em 
Well you know me I've always been the kind with easy confidence
C                            D 
Confident enough to honestly believe that nothing out there is stopping me
Especially not some girl who's not loving me
Now listen here baby I told you I could live on without loving you
Well I was bluffing then but it seems that just might have been the truth
Well my dad told me one day son (useless???) girl shell think of what she?s done
And hurting you will be the first of many more regrets to come
And he said if she doesn't call then its her fault and its her loss
I say Dad it?s not that simple see but then again it just may be
 

I would be sad because you left me all alone
I would be sad for all the lies that you had told me
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that i adore
I would be sad for the love I had before
I would be sad for the love I had before

Till someone I loved had to die
Bb                       Eb              Bb
What made us think that this was so different
Gm               Eb                    Bb
Who is driving behind those things you say
Bb           Eb               Bb
Why do you insult me and my friends
Gm           Eb        Bb
Who are my friends anyway
Bb                   Eb         Bb
I've spent my life lying now I pay the price
           Gm                Eb              Bb
Are these really words of a young man or a worthless human life
Bb                         Eb               Bb
I don't mean to scare you with the things I say
          Gm                 Eb      Bb
I take it back, yes it's a beautiful day
Bb                       Eb                  Bb
I watched you from the beach when your ship sailed
Gm                       Eb               Bb
You made it clear that nothing stays the same
Bb                       Eb              Bb
It's getting darker I wonder if you can tell
Gm            Eb         Bb
I wonder when all that changed

You never used to let me go un---
I was so distracted I never saw the rain
You promised you meant every word you said
I wonder when all that changed
It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words coming from somebody like you
I've been looking for so long that I've lost touch
With what's the best something to do
I've got a friend who makes good choices
Everybody likes the way that he sees things
I've got a problem and it walks me daily
Can't you see no one is proud of me
It's a long road alone and I'm not proving
Anything going by myself
When your love life is all that's really moving
Oh sugar girl I really appreciate the help
I had my time with money gold and diamonds
Both went sour before they got to me
I'll be waiting girl but don't be counting hours
I'm not waiting for any other three
I was just a peasant from the highlands
She said don't you call me your mountain girl
I said don't bother me I'm trying to write and don't worry you ain't my mountain girl
I can call you but I'd probably make you cry
These days it's what you often times do
Call the preacher then go call your father
Tell them that the wedding plans have moved
I send a message saying I'll be gone forever
The letter of reply never came
She said that she'd be true but I wouldn't let her
I wonder when all that changed

Hell has no fury like a woman
Happy scorned or otherwise
You can do what you want to with your name
But you can bet I'm changing mine
Well I'd give a $100 to get a letter
If at the bottom it said I miss you bad
See but the truth of the matter is that back home no one really misses me
See how I talk when I'm sad
Since I was young I've known a lot of women...

All of the truest in the world.

But, when I left your house that morning
in that ragged Thunderbird,
I tried so hard to fight the voices
From the devils that I heard.

See, there's a highway to the right of us
I took a year ago,
And since a year ago can't drive past
Without turning down that road.

So give me a try at describing just how difficult it is. 
When you kinda love two girls to figure out which one you miss. 
Stumble away from your stairway with your perfume on my clothes. 
Well I kinda loved two girls but now I've kinda lost 'em both. 

Chorus 


And if I could gather up the damage that I rendered in my life. 
Place it on a scale and weigh against the damage done that night. 
Then it'd be safe to say the weight of all I did and didn't do. 
Would surely float against the slightest wrong I ever did to you.

Distraction #74

Four Thieves Gone - The Robbinsville Sessions

D                G         D
Load the car and write the note
D                 G         D
Grab your bag and grab your coat 
D                  G       D
Tell the ones that need to know
D-     A      G
We are headed north

D               G        D
One foot in and one foot back
D                    G        D
But it don't play to live like that
D                       G          D
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
D         A  G
For never to return

D                    G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
D                 G      D
Are you aware the shape Im in?
D                      G       D
My hands they shake my head it spins
D                   -G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

D               G          D
When at first i learned to speak
D             G        D
I used all my words to fight
D                    G       D
With him and her and you and me
            D       A      G
Aw but its just a waste of time
        D          A    G
Yea its such a waste of time

D                    G         D
That women she's got eyes that shine
D              G                D
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes 
D-                   G            D
She asked to dance I said it's fine (aw it's fine)
D                            G             D
I'll see you in the morning time

D                    G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
D                 G      D
Are you aware the shape Im in?
D                      G       D
My hands they shake my head it spins
D                   -G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

D                       G       D
Three words that became hard to say
D      A       G
I and love and you
D                    G   D
What you are then I am today
D           A        G
Look at the things I do

D                    G       D
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
D                 G     D
Are you aware the shape Im in?
D                      G        D
My hands they shake my head it spins

Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in

D                       G        D
Dumb down and numbed by time and age
D                          G         D
Your dreams they catch the world the cage
D                    G          D
The highway sets the travelers stage
D         A        G 
All exits look the same

D                       G       D
Three words that became hard to say
D      A       G
I and love and you
D      A       G
I and love and you
D      A       G
I and love and you

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
         G            D             C          Em  
And your life doesn?t change by the man that?s elected

If you?re loved by someone, you?re never rejected

Decide what to be and go be it

Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it

And there was a kid with a head full of doubt

Head Full Of Doubt Road Full Of Promise

A
She keeps it simple
                                              D 
And I am thankful for her kind of lovin' 
                      A
'Cause it's simple 

A
No longer do we wonder if we're together 
                   D
We're way past that 
                             A
And I've already asked her 
         E                                   D            A
So in January we're gettin' married 

A
She's talkin' to me with her voice 
                                     D
Down so low I barely hear her 
A                                        
But I know what she's sayin' 
                   D                                   A
I understand because my heart and hers are the same 
          E                                     D              A
And in January we're gettin' married 

A
And I was sick with heartache 
                             D                           A
And she was sick like Audrey Hepburn when I met her 
A
But we would both surrender 
                        D                            A
True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down 
         Bm                       D
Don't ever turn it down 

A
I hope that I don't sound to insane when I say 
              D                      A
There is darkness all around us 
A                                                                 D
I don't feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me 
         A                                 D                         A
And reconnect me to the beauty that I'm missin' 
E                                             D
And in January we're gettin' married 

A                                                              D
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in 
A
She knows which birds are singin' 
                                                D                             A
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin 
E                                               D
And in January we're gettin' married 
E                                    D               A
Come January let's get married

C      Am     F              G            Am   C  
When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
F             G           C   Am
I do things I don't wanna do
F              G
I talk mean to you.
C         Am    F                G                   Am   C  
But if I think, I just might get something out of this

Just do your best.

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be

At least a little better than I've been so far.

C            Am    F                   G               Am   C
But when I drink,  I hear things that aren't really there
F                    G                 C    Am 
I feel things when I shouldn't  really care
     F                    G
Have fist fights with the air.
C         Am    F             G         Am   C
But if I think, about someone besides myself
F                   G              C    Am
I lived through the silver and the bell
F                G
With something to tell

Just do your best

C          Am     F                G            Am   C     
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
F            G          C    Am   
But we only get so many days
F              G
Now I have one less
Am          C
Just do your best.

Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.

Baby, I asked you not to keep me waiting
                          G
I told you not to keep me waiting

Donna, Bella Donna have you seen me
                         G
And have you ever really seen me

Lonesome, like you were when you were sixteen
                             G
When maybe even if I weren't listening
                      C
Did I help when I was kissing you

G                          C
Donna, Bella Donna are you listening
                         G
And were you ever really listening
                       C   
Like I want for you to listen now

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me

And when the black cloak drags upon the ground

Verse 3

And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
And I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose
And if I ever pass back through here town I'll stay


And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before our eyes

C           F        G                C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
C           F        G                C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind

The Once And Future Carpenter

C               Em 
Can you not see what you've done? 
    F                G 
You gave your heart away like that. 
         C               Em 
I didn't want to fall in love, 
     F               G 
with anyone but you, dear. 
            C        Em 
I can still hear the song, 
     F       G 
the melody behind the kiss, 
    C                 Em 
you gave me, you were wrong, 
      F                  G 
I was right so I walked away, 
             C       Em 
and left you there, alone, 
   F              G 
I got so tired of talking on the 
C   Em 
telephone, 
    F                   G 
how many times would we say the words, "Good bye?" 


       C             Em 
I made mistakes, and one, 
     F               G 
was telling you that I'd be there when 
C                    Em 
telling time (?) had come, 
  F                        G 
I should have said I didn't care. 
        C                 Em 
All the time I would have saved, 
   F               G 
If I had been less willing 
     C   Em 
to accommodate, 
      F           G 
you'd been a little less likely to cry. 



Am                 G 
You go back to the high life, 
    Am                  G 
and I'll go back to the low. 
F 
I should have known, 
G 
But now I know. 
               C         Em 
There'll be no word from you, 
   F              G 
describing how it felt to go through 
C              Em 
what I put you through 
    F                G 
It all makes perfect sense 
            C       Em 
the way you cut the rope 
     F                 G 
that kept you dangling from such 
     C             Em 
pitiful amounts of hope, 
F                    G 
I would have cut it, too.

Another Is Waiting

Magpie And The Dandelion

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

and everyone's your enemy

to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
