The No-Hit Wonder

Intro:
E       B       x2

Verse 1:

E        B      A            B
Years of living blood to string
E         B     A         B
Years of living hand to mouth
E           B      A        B
Years just getting gig to gig
E       B     A         B
East to West, North to South



(The same chord progression is used 
for all of the verses)


        E               B      
Well he could have been making a 
   A  B
killing
E            B  A   B
Peddling the Dream
           E            B     
But if you found him at all you 
  A              B
found him just scraping
  E      B        A        B
A living blood to string


Chorus:

          E            B      A  B
So sing a song for the no hit wonder
          A     E      B
Though it isn’t one of his

     E     B         A B
He’d sing ‘Shovel me under
         E  B       A   B        
Boys, it is what it is’ It is 
 (C#m)    E
what it is


Verse 2:

         E             B      
He broke free from the way they 
   A          B
raised him
          E         B             
He knows a heart is hell enough 
  A     B
and never full
         E         B           A 
He never sang that music would 
       B
save him
            E        B    A      B
Knows never trust an evangelical

              E          B        
He’d say ‘You wanna know what true
  A         B
 love feels like?
         E         B         A   
It’s the next best thing to death
     B

           E        B       A   B
Feels like after an elbowed windpipe
     E               B        A  
Just before the next breath”
   B

     E                B           
Just before your next breath - So 
A              B
with your next breath



       E            B      A  B
Sing a song for the no hit wonder
          A     E      B
Though it isn’t one of his
     E     B         A B
He’d sing ‘Shovel me under
         E  B       A   B        
Boys, it is what it is’ It is 
 (C#m)    E
what it is



Bridge:

       C#m                  
But at night he can hear the 
 E
fireworks
         A      E
From his tunnel underground
         C#m                    E
And he’s carved himself a little 
crawlspace
        A           E
Just to lay his body down
   A            F#m
To fade out of sound
       A         B   E
To the thunder under town


       E            B      A  B
Sing a song for the no hit wonder
          A     E      B
Though it isn’t one of his
     E     B         A B
He’d sing ‘Shovel me under
         E  B       A   B        
Boys, it is what it is’ It is 
 (C#m)    E
what it is
