The Marshall Tucker Band

The Marshall Tucker Band is a Southern rock band.  Originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, the band formed in 1972, and soon signed with Capricorn Records. In 1973 they released their first EP, simply titled 'The Marshall Tucker band.  Compared to southern rock pioneers and label-mates The Allman Brothers Band, Marshall Tucker had a more country and western feel, with the flute being a key lead instrument in their sound.

[Em]Took my fam'ly away from my [C]Carolina home
[Em]Had dreams about the West and [C]started to roam
[Em]Six long months on a [C]dust covered trail
[Em]They say heaven's at the end but [C]so far it's been hell

Chorus
[C]And there's [G]fire on the mountain, [D]lightnin' in the air
[Am]gold in them hills and it's [C]waitin' for me [Em]there

We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star

Chorus

Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their forty four guns

Chorus

Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim

Chorus 2 times  End on G instead of an Em

Fire On The Mountain

Can't be wrong.

I'm the kinda man likes to get away, like to start dreamin About tomorrow today.
Never said that I love you, even thought it's so
Where's that duffle bag of mine it's time to go.

CHORUS

I'm gona be leavin at the break of dawn. Wish you could come But I don't need no woman taggin along.
So I'll sneak out that door couldn't stand to see you cry.
I'd stay another year if I saw a tear drop in your eye.

CHORUS

I never had a damn thing but what I 
Had I had to leave it behind.
You're the hardest thing I ever tried to get off my mind.
Always something greener on the other side of that hill.
I was born a wrangler and a rambler and I guess I always will

Heard It In A Love Song

(Verse 1)
Am
Hired me on a greenhorn
              Fmaj7
Didn't know a rope from a horse
       G6
But I wanted to be a cowboy
      Am
So I took the job of course

The foreman he said "Son you gonna ride
      Fmaj7
At the end of my herd"
          G6
All the wranglers sat around in a circle
      Am
And nobody said a word

(CHORUS)
                 Fmaj7
'Cause there's a woman in my dreams
      G6
That keeps me alive
     Fmaj7
If I ever see her again
 E                                   Am
Lord I'll never ride drag on another cattle drive

           Am

                  Fmaj7
That we're near a Kansas City town
                 G6
And when you're ridin drag on this cattle drive
                  Am
It takes 'bout a week for the word to get around

(CHORUS)
                 Fmaj7
'Cause there's a woman in my dreams
      G6

    D/B                   D/Bb         
I'm doin' what a man's supposed to do
     D   D/C  D/B  D/Bb
For love
       D                       D/C
Now a lot of folks think that love is wrong
 D/B                   D/Bb
They don't know what's goin' on
       D                      D/C
'Cause ever since the day you told me your name
          D/B                         D/Bb
This old heart of mine's been under a lock and chain
    D   D/C  D/B  D/Bb
Of love
       D                    D/C
Well I always knew that you made the sun shine
   D/B                                D/Bb
I never thought I'd see the day you'd make it mine
D               D/C           D/B  D/Bb
I'll always be singing rhymes
    D               D/C          D/B
And I'll always be writing lines
D/Bb   D   
About love
 G                                 D
Don't want you to think I'm coming on



A little too strong

 G           F#m
Just want to let you know
Em                    A
Ain't nothin' goin' wrong
         D                 D/C
Lord and everything I ever tried to do 
D/B                     D/Bb
Well it all comes right back to you
   D                       D/C            D/B D/Bb
I guess that's what love's supposed to do
D              D/C            D/B D/Bb
I'll always be singing rhymes
    D               D/C           D/B D/Bb
And I'll always be writing lines
       D   D/C D/B D/Bb
About love


Then to solo w/D D/C D/B D/Bb then repeat above

verse and end on "love" with a D

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,
        G#m                   F#
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,
        G#m                   F#
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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,

from all we shared together.

Right now is all we have you better make this count

lets run away.
D                             A                             Bm

I picked apart every word that you said

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

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.
