For anyone that's interested, I worked out the chords to his "Nobody Gives a Damn About Songs Anymore". Enjoy!

----------------

CAPO I

Intro: [D] [G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G] [D] x2

[A] I can’t [Bm] remember when I [G] felt this [D] lost
[A] Took a wrong [Bm] turn trying to [G] carry this [D] cross
[A] Why’d I have to [Bm] go and get [G] blessed with a [D] curse
[A] Chasing death or [Bm] glory which[G]ever comes first [G]

CHORUS
[D] One for the money, [G] four on the [D] floor
You were [A] born last [Bm] week with your [G] foot in the door
[D] I heard truth is what [G] songs are [D] for
No[A]body gives a [Bm] damn about [G] songs anymore [G]

[D] [G] [D] [A] [Bm] [G] [D]

You had [A] everything you [Bm] needed to [G] get it al[D]right
You said you’re [A] gonna get [Bm] rich if it [G] takes all [D] night
Chi[A]cago to [Bm]Texas [G] or Tenne[D]ssee
I’ll [A] lock myself in [Bm] Tulsa and [G] throw away the key [G]

CHORUS x3

Agreed, phenomenal record. Saw him open for Jason Isbell.

Great songwriter, see him live if you can.

Couldn't agree - more. This is best I've heard in a long time. He's playing the southeast next week; http://www.johnmoreland.net/

Just another plug for this. Do yourself the favor if you haven't already. A simply astonishing record. Damn nigh perfect. Maybe the best of the last several years. Ol' Townes would wish that he had written every last one of these songs.
