Shank Hill St by Shovels And Rope
Shank Hill St
Mike's doing some stuff with the bass notes on the Am chord, nothing too fancy just listen for it
in the track. Also, the Em7 is more like Cmaj9/B. It's basically a step from C to Am that looks like
this:
E]-0-
B]-1-
G]-0-
D]-0-
A]-2-
E]-x-

Am G
Buzzing like a locust, vibrating right out of my skin
Am F C Em7 Am
Pounding on the butcher's wall, somebody come and let me in
G
There's a black haired woman carrying a rolling pin
Am F C Em7 Am C Em7 Am
Butcher-man's got a secret but she knows where he been yeah, she knows where he been
F G C Am F G Am
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines on Shank Hill Street again
Am G
You see, early in the morning, before the warm wind of the dawn
Am F C Em7 Am
She saw thin man and a shadow make their way across the lawn
Am G
There was a rustle, was a razor and the whisper of a prayer
Am F C Em7 Am
Then the rhythm of the mallet like a heartbeat in the air
F G C Am F G Am
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines on Shank Hill Street again
Am G Am
C Am G Am
Am G
With a handshake like a hammer and a suicide grin
Am F C Em7 Am C Em7 Am
That wooden door creaked open and the butcher-man let me in, yes like that he let me in
Am G
But I wasted not a minute, I was on him like a whip
Am F C Em7 Am
For one last minute he'd feel that hot red drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
F G C Am F G Am
And it'll be a long time 'fore the sun shines on Shank Hill Street again
Am G Am
