Steady Wabash Amble by John Davey
Steady Wabash Amble
Tuning:Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Key:G
Capo:1st fret
[Verse 1]
G C G
If you ever thought my life would be in shambles
Em C D
I guess you've never seen the steady wabash amble
C G Em D C
Like so much clear water over smooth white stone
G D C G
Well I feel as though this place was still my home
[Verse 2]
G C G
Oh let's talk of moving up into the city
Em C D
Just to have something to keep your whole world busy
C G Em D C
Well I still like the pace of these small midwestern towns
G D C G
I'm not rushing to tie anybody down
[Chorus]
Em C G
And my dreams are not for nothing
Em G D
All my needs and all my wants, they still collide
Em C G Em
So as long as I'm alive and I am breathing
G D C G
I keep coming and going with the tide
[Verse 3]
G C G
Well I went to Mississippi with my sister
Em C D
We slept in parking lots, saw things we'd never seen
C G Em D C
And as we sat below magnolia trees on Oxford Square that day
G D C G
We both thanked our lucky stars that we could live this way
[Verse 4]
G C G
Yet I'm still asked where all of this is headed
Em C D
Is treading water all you're ever gonna give
C G Em D C
And I just smile and I turn 'cause I guess they'll never learn
G D C G
It's not whether what you get but how you get there that matters
[Chorus]
Em C G
And my dreams are not for nothing
Em G D
All my strongest feeling, they still push and pull
Em C G Em
So as long as I can keep my head above the water
G D C G
I keep kicking until I reach that distant shore
[Interlude]
G C G Em7 D Em G D Em G D G
[Verse 5]
G C G
I'm still the king of playing towns you've never heard of
Em C D
Still wear the crown for putting my isles on a car
C G Em D C
And I'll take the steady wabash amble with me wherever I ramble
G D C G
With the ghost of William Digby at my side
[Chorus]
Em C G
He says our dreams are not for nothing
Em G D
All these lives we lead we were never meant to hide
Em C G Em
So as long as you're alive and you are breathing
G D Em C
Just keep coming and going with the tide
G D Em C
Keep on coming and going with the tide
G D C G
Keep on coming and going with the tide
