Guitar Notes: Fingerstyle piece from "Shine Eyed Mister Zen" released in 1999. Tuning CGCGCF capo5. 

I've heard a number of versions of the song by KJP and they are all a bit different. I have tried to give an indication of the Intro, Verse, Chorus and

节拍:♩ = 200

key:254

Drums are still playing I can see them marching close

This he walks like a shadow and that he dances like a ghost

The one that looks like jimmy lord he scares me the most

River rat jimmy and Jehoshaphat



Playing boyhood mumbly peg a six inch bowie blade

Out the top of my red wing kickers and down a muddy slippery grade

To the fever pitch Savannah where granddaddy lay

River rat jimmy and Jehoshaphat



River jimmy ghosty face ate off the kitchen floor

Cause woman mom threw dinner plates at drunken dad on the door

He would cop us cans of beer and close his eyes and soar

River rat jimmy and Jehoshaphat



Shouting revelation out a boy man child of ten

Never looking up to heaven it was heaven there and then

We wrapped our bloody fingers like a shine eyed mister zen

River rat jimmy and Jehoshaphat



Neither us knew who would pop and who would sink the lake

And who would run off fast enough before the bow string'd break

Man we was crying for tomorrow through the crying and the shake

River rat jimmy and Jehoshaphat
