Whiskeytown – Jacksonville Skyline chords

written by Ryan Adams
Album: Pneumonia 

The guitar is tuned 1/2 step down so if you play in standard tuning just play on the key of B. 
This tab is according to the album version.I've see videos of Ryan play this live recently and 
he sometimes in the chorus does Am to G to F, but that is not how it is recorded in Pneumonia.


Verse 1
CWell the banks of the river run through my hometown 
C                                        FBorn on the dirt roads, and i scraped my knees 
CWell they paved the roads eventually 
C                                      FWith neon signs and car dealerships and diners 

Chorus
G                    Am          FThe soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends 
G               Am          F      G      CI saw the pretty women as I walked through town 

Verse 2
C                  Well I moved away soon as I turned sixteen 
C                                         FFigured I was old enough to go and work a job 
CWell i floated down main street pools of carlights 
C                                    FOvercame me wishin' I was still back home

Chorus
G                    Am           FThe soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends 
G               Am          F      G      CI saw the pretty women as I walked through town 

Verse 3
CJacksonville's a city with a hopeless streetlight 
C                                                 FSeems like you're lucky if it ever changes red to green 
C       I was born in an abundance of inherited sadness 
C                                                FWith 50 cent picture frames bought at a five and dime 

Chorus
G           Am                  FI ended up a soldier on the weekend 
G            Am        FLooking for a vacancy I wasn't able to find 
G                       Am           F Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket 
G                 Am            F       G         CShoot it with my capgun just to make it seem like stars

Thank you
