Lyrics:
It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

3. Winter Winds
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: stellafeller
(***Note: This song actually has no guitar, it is a Mandolin. You can play it with chords though!)
G D Em C
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
G D Em C
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
G D Em C
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
G D Em C
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no this time no"
G D Em C
We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
G D Em C
And the time we were given will be left for the world
G D Em C
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
G D Em C
So let the memories be good for those who stay
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no"
C G
Yes, my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no
This time no"
G D Em C
Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved
G D Em
Was the same that sent me into your arms
G D Em C
Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone
G D Em
And no hope, no hope will overcome
G D Em C
And if your strife strikes at your sleep
G D Em C
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
G D Em C
You'll be happy and wholesome again
G D Em C
When the city clears and sun ascends
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no"
C G
And my head told my heart
C G D
"Let love grow"
C G
But my heart told my head
C G D
"This time no
This time no"

Verse 2 (same as #1)
You told me that I wouldn't find a home
Beneath the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it steals
Chorus
C# A E Figure 1
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
C# A E
Yet it dominates the things I see
Verse 3
It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say 'That's exactly how this grace thing works
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with every start
Chorus (same)
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
And yet it dominates the things I see
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
And yet it dominates the things I see

E A B E
And so I will be found

With my stake stuck in the ground

Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

E A B E
And you, you've gone too far this time
A B E
You have neither reason nor rhyme
A B E E let ring
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

5. White Blank Page
Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 2
Tabbed By: freezedryfun
(***Note: This song is actually played with standard tuned guitar chords plus
the capo. Marcus, never learned guitar chords, only wrote and played by ear.
He has commented saying that, "if he needs help with chords or something like
that, he goes to fellow band member Ben Lovett")
Em [0 2 2 0 0 0]
C [0 3 2 0 1 0] Hammer on 0h2 on the D string in Verse.
G [3 2 0 0 0 3] Hammer on 0h2 on the A string in Verse.
D/F# [2 5 4 2 3 2] (Barre this)
Em/B [7 7 9 9 8 7] (Barre this)
Em C G C G
Can you lie next to her and give her your hea-rt, your hea-rt?
Em C G
As well as your body, and can you lie next to her and confess your lo-ve,
C G
your lo-ve?
Em
As well as your folly and can you kneel before the king and say ‘I’m

cle-an’, ‘I’m Cle-an’?
D/F# Em/B C D/F# D/F# Em/B C D/F#
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
D/F# Em/B C D/F# D/F# Em/B C D/F#
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart?
Em C G C G
Her white blank page & a swelling ra-ge, ra-ge
Em C G C G
You did not think when you sent me to the bri-nk, the bri-nk
Em C G C G
You desired my attention but denied my affec-tions, affec-tions
D/F# Em/B C D/F# D/F# Em/B C D/F#
But tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart.
D/F# Em/B C D/F# D/F# Em/B C D/F#

D/F# Em/B C D/F#
Ahhh ah ah ahhh ah ahhhh ah ahhh
D/F# Em/B C D/F#
Ahhh ah ah ahhh ah ahhhh ah ahhh
The Rest is played as the chorus. Work out the timing, it's quite difficult to fit
in with the lyrics:
Lead my to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Lead my to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Finally repeat Ahhhs

Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 5
Tabbed By: Ornj_Gremlin

The chords are right and they sound fine, but he plays it CAPO 5 in an
alternate tuning. This will have to do!)

your boldness stands alone among the wreck.

Learn from your mother or else

spend your days biting your own neck.

Lyrics:
Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams
I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind
Alone in the wind and the rain you left me
It's getting dark darling, too dark to see
And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems
Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown
I know you have felt much more love than you've shown
And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest
But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
Rain down, rain down on me
But I will hold on
I will hold on hope
I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones
Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves
But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made
But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me

I struggle to find any truth in your lies
D G D
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
D G D
My weakness I feel I must finally show
Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free

11.Dustbowl Dance
Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 1
Tabbed By: Verbal Kint
(***Note: There is no acoustic guitar in this song. Marcus is on a drum set
and Winston, the banjo player, starts off on his banjo and then too electric
guitar. There are the chords for piano which can be played on guitar!)
Bm G A D
The young man stands on the edge of his porch
Em Bm Em F#
The days were short and the father was gone
Bm G A D
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
Em Bm Em F#
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
Bm G A D
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
Em Bm Em F#
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
Bm G A D
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
Em Bm Em F#
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
Bm G A D
So collect your courage and collect your horse
Em Bm Em F#
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse
Bm G A D
Seal my heart and brake my pride
Em Bm Em F#
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Bm G A D
Align my heart, my body, my mind
Em Bm Em F#
To face what I've done and do my time
Bm G A D
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
Em Bm Em F#
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace
Bm G A D
So one man has and another has not
Em Bm Em F#
How can you love what it is you have got
Bm G A D
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Em Bm Em F#
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store
Bm G A D
There will come a time I will look in your eye
Em Bm Em F#
You will pray to the God that you always denied
Bm G A D
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
Em Bm Em F#
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
Bm G A D
Seal my heart and brake my pride
Em Bm Em F#
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
Bm G A D
Align my heart, my body, my mind
Em Bm Em F#
To face what I've done and do my time
(2x)
Bm G A D
Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
Em Bm Em F#
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen
Bm G A D
I went out back and I got my gun
Em Bm Em F#
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"

I run and run as the rains come
Verse Riff or Riff Chords
C/B C G D
And I look up, I look up,
Em D D/F# G
on my knees and out of luck,
Em D
I look up.
Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won't rot, I won't rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won't rot.
Pre Chorus: Ge|-----------------B|-----------------G|-4--5--4--2--0---D|-------------2---A|-------------2--- E|-3--5--3--2--0---
G D/F# Em
And I took you by the hand
C G
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.
Chorus:
C Em G
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.
I will die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I'll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and mine so small.
Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

THE END!
As of Feb 2011, they have begun work on a new album in Tennessee, US. Please
show all the support you can because this band truly pours their heart, soul,
blood, sweat, and tears in to writing and preforming their music for the
simple fact that they love doing it. It breaks my heart to know that there are
people in the world that distort and exploit the creativity and passion
artists like this present. (Any bimbo with auto-tune can make an R&B hit, ha)
So please, play their music, share it with others, and give life to this new
and exciting band of incredibly talented/humble men...
-Matt
