Tow Live Chords

   
Artist: The Devil Makes Three
Song: Tow
Transcribed by: J-Heck

Note: This is mostly from their live version on "A Little Bit Faster and A Little Bit 
Worse" but there's a tiny bit of my own arrangement going on.
Guitarists may want to use a capo at the third fret (and adjust chords accordingly), 
otherwise - It should be played on a Tenor Banjo or Tenor Guitar. ;)
The intro is half a verse (to the first D7).

Gm                      Cm
Someone left a child and did not even care
           Gm                                 D
Before the first shots of the battle here had even pierced the air
          Gm                                  Cm
Yes, they run now like them children to those arms of mother earth
          Gm                              D                    D7
Trying to pretend as if there was a day before their very birth
        D                 D7                C               C7
But me, I just grab these ropes that me and mine have left behind
      Cm               Cm7             D                D7
And I stare up to that mountain that I know I got to climb

                   Gm               Cm     Cm7
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
                   Gm            D     D7
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm

Gm                                 Cm
Well down in basements choked with smoke child of the past
         Gm                                    D
All them dreams come up for air round here but they can only gasp
         Gm                               Cm
All them old men they sit staring as life slips out from their grips
        Gm                              D                 D7
Only to fall and disappear beyond their cracked old fingertips
        D                 D7           C                C7
But me, I just grab these ropes me and mine have left behind
      Cm               Cm7           D               D7
And I stare up to that daemon that I know has got to die

                   Gm               Cm     Cm7
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
                   Gm            D     D7
I keep towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm

Gm                          Cm
But down in ditches by that road I call my own
       Gm                          D
All of you come up cussin' now and all just throwing stones
            Gm                             Cm
Yes they're big men now to settle down and life's so stale and cold
      Gm                           D                  D7
As if I could ever do the way they do just as they're told
                 D              D7           C                
    C7
So if you should find me living low when the miles have passed me by
       Cm                Cm7               D            D7
And it seems that I have left now all that I could love behind

                     Gm               Cm     Cm7
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
                     Gm            D     D7
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm
                     Gm               Cm     Cm7
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mm-mmmm
                     Gm            D     D7
I'm just towin' that line - Mm-mmm-mmmm
