Song : Consider the Ravens
This is by and far one of the easiest songs to play off of dustin's solo album as
its only 4 chords, standard tuning, and no capo. Please feel free to email any
Two quick note, when dustin plays his Am he likes to embelish it by hamering the
open g string to the a, and on rollup to chorus the sequence is
E--2--3--5--
B--3--3--3--
G--2--2--2--
D--0--0--0--
A-----------
e-----------
Played slightly upbeat, to help maintain rhythm when you slap strings for beat,
strum as you hit the guitar (little jack johnson trick)
Intro G D Am
Verse 1
[G]I've got [D]bills to pay
[Am]Taxman on [Am]my tail
[G]Just keep [D]prayin' that
[Am]the check's[Am] in the mail
[G]There are [D]times it seems
[Am]when everything's [C]lost
[Am]and I'm moaning, [C]I'm tossed
D(rollup)
and I see..
Chorus
between the river and[Am] the ravens I'm fed
between oblivion a[C]nd the blazes I'm led
So fat[G]her give me faith, provid[D]ence and grace
Between the river[Am] and ravens I'm fed
Sweet deliver, [C]oh you lift up my he[D]ad
and lead me in your w[G]ay
Verse 2
[G]I've grown [D]sick and tired
[Am]of trying to [Am]stand still
[G]I've learned to [D]let the wind
[Am]pull me where [Am]it will
[G]Throw mys[D]elf into
[Am]the will of [C]the wait
[Am]I can never [C]be great
D(rollup)
'til we're free
Chorus
between the river and[Am] the ravens I'm fed
between oblivion a[C]nd the blazes I'm led
So fat[G]her give me faith, provid[D]ence and grace
Between the river[Am] and ravens I'm fed
Sweet deliver, [C]oh you lift up my he[D]ad
and lead me in your w[G]ay
Bridge (Same as chorus)
Verse 3

Although I'm walking through |
Am Am |
the valley of the shadow of death |
G D |
evils all around |
Am Am |
It's coming from the right and the left |

Trust that I will see |
Am C |
the glory above |

D(rollup) |
flies over me -|
Chorus/Outro

Well there you go, keep on rockin' til the next time
