Wrecking Ball

Written by David Rawlings/Gillian Welch

	  		


A        A           D       A 
Well now boys, I'm a rollin' stone 
E           E             D         A 
that's what I was when I first left home 
D          D           A      A 
Took every secret that I ever known 
F#m        E       D     D 
and headed for the wall 
F#m     E       A    A 
Like a wrecking ball 


A       A        D            A 
Started down on the holy road of sin 
E        E     D      A 
Playin' bass under a pseudonym 
D         D          A         A 
The days were rough and it's all quite dim 
F#m     E         D       D 
but my mind cuts through it all 
F#m     E       A    A 
Like a wrecking ball 

Chorus 
D      D      A     F#m 
I was just a little deadhead 
D       A        D      A 
Who's watching, Who is watching 
F#m     F#m      D      D 
I's just a little deadhead 

Fallen daughter on a scholarship 
Well I got tired and let my average slip 
Then I's a farmer in the Pogonip 
where the weed that I recall 
was like a wrecking ball 

Met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin 
she showed me colors I'd never seen 
drank the bottom out of my canteen 
then left me in the fall 
like a wrecking ball 

Standin' there in the autum mist 
Jack and Coke at the end of my wrist 
yes I remember when first we kissed 
though it was nothing at all 
like a wrecking ball 

Chorus 
D         D      A     F#m 
Hey boys just a little deadhead 
D       A        D      A 
Who's watching, Who is watching 
F#m       F#m      D      D 
I was just a little deadhead 

With too much trouble for me to shake 
Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache 
was riding high untill the '89 quake 
hit the Santa Cruz Garden Mall 
like a wrecking ball
