We are the folk song army,
G C
Every one of us cares.
A Dm
We all hate poverty, war, and injustice
C/g G C
Unlike the rest of you squares.
There are innocuous folk songs, yeah,
But we regard 'em with scorn.
The folks who sing 'em have no social conscience,
G C B9
Why, they don't even care if Jimmy Crack Corn.

I'm a fool to want you

I'm a fool to want you
Bb/d F6/c Bm7-5
To want a love that can't be true

A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
Dm/a A7-9 Dm
To share a kiss the devil has known

Intro:

G C G

D G
And I guess he'd been there for the whole night or more.

The Tallest Man on Earth is the new, uncrowned king of open tunings and fingerpicking. His technique is exquisite, but his songs are actually not overly difficult to play, once one masters the basic picking patterns.
