The End (Adams/Panes)
From Ryan Adams and the Cardinals – Jacksonville City Nights
Lyrics/Chords transcribed by N. Papador
The song is in a country waltz feel… 3 beats per chord. I've placed the chord
symbols approximately where they coincide with the words.

VERSE 1
D G D D
I don’t know the sound of my father’s voice
D D A A
I don’t even know how he says my name
G A bm G
But it plays out like song on a jukebox in a bar
D D/A A D D
In the back of my head till it’s worrying machine
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/ryan_adams/the_end_crd.html ]
D G D D
And in the cotton fields by the house where I was born
D D A A
The leaves burn like effigies of my kin
G A bm G
And the trains run like snakes through the Pentecostal pines
D D/A A D D
Filled up with cotton and dime store gin
CHORUS I
bm bm G D
Jacksonville, how you burden in my soul
A G bm bm
How you hold all my dreams captive
bm bm G D
Jacksonville, how you play with my mind
A G
How my heart goes bad
bm A bm bm(n.c.)
Suffocating on the pines in Jacksonville
