Black Crowes: Warpaint Unplugged



I was glad to see the Black Crowes get back together and put out the album Warpaint early this year. I just spent a little time figuring out the song Locust Street (below). Here's an NPR link to some performance they did in the NPR studio and this web-only outtake.

Locust Street (Robinson/Robinson - Black Crowes)

Dry bread on the table Em
Burn the mill salt the paper - G (riff)

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street D
There's no place to hide C G
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying C G
A song for you alone C G
riff E-D-C-D-C (Em G Em)
Sad eyes, weeping willow
Black cat blues, blacked out window

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Just a glimpse of what love could be Am F
Once a dream that I owned C G x3
What of many lonely longing souls
At least I'm not alone
Well at least I'm not alone
Am F C -
Em G Em (RIFF)
Ripe off the vine now lay rotten Em G
Like a dead end street forever forgotten

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street D
There's no place to hide C G
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone
