Soul Singer in a Session Band Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]
[F][G][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]See the soul
singer in the session band
Shredded to ribbons beneath
a microphone stand
[G]Felt the qui[C]ckness of pity
like a flash in a pan
For the [F]soul [G]singer in the
[F]session [C]band[G][C]
[G]A red

[Verse 2]
[C]carpet bagger makes
a Blackberry call
To the [F]plastic piranhas in the [Am]city of salt
[G]Wasted whe[C]at paste campaign
post no bills on the wall
You mean [F]nothing to no one
but that is [G]nobody's [C]fault

[Verse 3]
[C]See the soul singer in the
session band
Shredded to ribbons beneath
a microphone stand
[G]Felt the qui[C]ckness of pity
like a flash in a pan
For the [F]soul [G]singer in the [F]session [C]band[F]
[C]I had a lengthy

[Verse 4]
discussion
about The Power of Myth
With a [F]post-modern author
author who [Am]didn't exist
[G]In this fic[C]titious world all reality twists
I was a [F]hopeless romantic,
now I'm [G]just turning [C]tricks

[Verse 5]
[C]Just like that soul singer in the
session band
Shredded confetti beneath
a microphone stand
[G]Saw the Confli[C]ct of Interest
slipping cash in the hand
For the [F]soul [G]singer in the
[F]session [C]band

[Verse 6]
[C]His room is on fire since he painted
it red
[F]There are a stranger's silk
sequins at the [Am]foot of the bed
[G]He has been weddin[C]gs and funerals
but still never wept
Now sor[F]row is pleasure
when you want [G]it in[C]stead

[Verse 7]
[C]Just like the soul singer
in the [F]ses[C]sion band
Wailed like an infant atop
a white baby grand
[G]We'll need eve[C]ry sand
bag and every man
To save the [F]soul [G]singer in the [F]session [C]band

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][C]
[F][C][G][C]
[F][G][F][C][F]
[C]Headlights or taillights,

[Verse 8]
[C]
it's a flip of a coin
I have been [F]coming and going
since the day I [Am]was [G]born
And I [C]followed the breadcrumbs
but I never got home
I grew [F]old in an instant,
now I am [G]all on [C]my own

[Verse 9]
Just [C]like that soul singer in the
[F]ses[C]sion band
Shredded to nothing beneath
a microphone stand
[G]Saw the[C] wave of the future
through the crack in the dam
Drown [F]the soul [G]singer
in the [F]session [C]band
Bless [F]the soul [G]singer in the [F]session [C]band
