Keeper by John Butler Trio
Keeper
Open C
C G C G C E
This is the main riff through out the song, just a rough outline cos there
is a lot of impro involved (and a lot of bass). try experimenting with
hitting the open strings before each set of chords.

and repeat that a few times
Keeper won't you let me in
My soul is tired and worn thin
And all I want is a place to lay my head
So keeper, keep me a while, I said
Cos all I want to do is escape this mind
So keeper, can I leave that part please behind
Cos I don't want to think about life anymore
That's why keeper, I am knocking on your front door
And all I get inside
Melted away with all my pride
And all I can do is sleep
It's the only thing that gets me away from this brain in my head, you see
Keeper
I know you look around and you look inside and you see nothing
I know you look around and you look inside and you see nothing
But you got to look around and look inside and see something
you gotta look around and look inside and see something
Keeper
And I know its gonna be a long time
And I know its gonna be a long time
