Shakey Graves - Word Of Mouth (Live in Lubbock) 

More artists like this should be winning Grammy's, instead of the over-produced bullshit the record companies hype these days do.

Singing, playing rhythm on guitar, and an irregular beat on the bass drum. This man is incredibly talented!

No cap I came from nun and thought I was nun this song made me think differently and it makes me calm I love this song I will neva forget this song💯 WYK4L

Pound for pound, I think this has got to be Shakey's best set out there. It's just perfect.

My friends and j from college would listen to this together, I've lost contact with them since, but I know they would still get down to this song. Cheers buddies. 🍻 miss ya. Hope your well.

Still vastly underrated. I don't care if he was stoned. Some of the best music he ever did. Maybe West Texas does that to you?

That's the TEXAS style I love it pure passion in tha song

tone on that guitar is absolutely lovely

After playing this video thousands of times...I just realised his little invention of the Tamborine, briefcase kick drum....and lets just say I am quite giddy about it ;P

fantastic songwriter, he's often said this is his favorite song that he's written

If it makes me want to move and shake, or I can feel the raw emotion through the singers voice and words, definitely a great song.

Yea this my favorite version of this song

I can't stop listening to this amazing man...

Thanks Shakey you sure make this life better.

It's so amazing how many versions i've heard from a single artist, this is truly phenomenal and i love it

Just saw him perform in DC last night and this was his best song. Awesome show!

This is incredible.

my absolute favorite version of this song.

His guitar skills are literally mesmerizing

Nobody: Shaky graves: welllllllllllllll

Just saw him last night at The Bottom of the Hill, and he was spectacular! Blew me away, can't wait to see him again!

I wish I could find the version I got off a music download app a while ago. He really killed it on that one.

I saw him at a concert in NC. After the show a bunch of us caught up with him, and one guy asked him about it. He said a friend of his had put it together for him a couple years back. It hooks up to an amp, and get's a really awesome sounds when he starts playing.

We wandered Into The Oasis restaurant in Austin Texas on Lake Travis six or seven years ago, and shakey was performing at the brewery. We were blown away by his music. He was using the suitcase bass drum back then also which made it all the more interesting to see him here.

This makes my heart smile...

greatness

He seemed a little spaced out, but that's the best version of the song I've heard yet. Great job towards Shakey; as always, thanks for sharing the music.

Amazing

"I found a snake in an apple tree, I didn't trust a word he hissed to me, no! He said, 'must be awful lonely trying to save the world, buy a collared shirt and try to f--- some girls.'" Favorite lyric.

Hey, this is The Swede on FNL. :)

mmm that guitar tone

When ever I read the comments and they happen to be some of the lyrics, I always manage to read the comment as the person is singing the lyrics. it's just creepy now

Well, This song isn't a glad one. If i'm reading into this correctly, the song's about how, when you go though life, there's always people who think they're more intelligent than you, so they think they have to tell you the lessons they learned from their mistakes. When really it's just bullshit. Most of it at least. But that would also explain the lyric, "Didn't trust a word he hissed to me." The "Snake" is general, all the people giving the advice are the "Snakes". So you just better "Run". Once again, I could be wrong.

Stay off the maps!

Could someone tell me the chords to this song?

At the moment, National Debt & Unfunded Liabilities at 30 & 200 trillion, respectively. We're not alone. More countries, than not, are living on an ever expanding dusty plain. When working with lemons, we make lemonade. When lemons go dry, we make compost. What seems at issue? For me, comfort comes from putting pen to paper, gazing-n-tracing, poaching eggs, grinding coffee, reading out of sequence, folding cardboard, playing peekaboo, hunting cheetahs in the backyard, and staying tuned. "If words are metaphors, what's a metaphor for." - Some dude, name escapes me. "Life is too short to not be cool." - Grandpa "Life is too long if too hot." - Grandson "Care as we will, care as we go." - Grandpa No worries, my wife drags me back to the 21st century. Kicking and screaming, concerned parties cheer and neighbors applaud. Seems to be...takes work to keep sane and SHINY.

Capo on 6th C Am F G. watch how he plays and that will explain better

GRAPES

BUT HE DID NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE APPLE TREE SNAKE HISSED TO HIM,
