New Madrid
by Uncle Tupelo
from the album Anodyne

transcribed by Bill Filler 

Intro:  A  Bm


Verse
	  A       D             A
	All my daydreams are disasters
          A       D             A
	She's the one, I think I love
          A     F#m           D
	Rivers burn, men run backwards
                A            D
	And for her, that's enough

          A       D              A
	They all come from New York City
          A       D          A
	They woke me up at dawn
         A    F#m             D
	She walked with me to the fountain
              A             D
	She held onto my arm


Chorus
         A
	C'mon do what you did
         D            Bm
	Roll me under New Madrid
         D                                 E
	Shake my baby and please bring her back
         A
	His death won't even be still
         D               Bm
	Carum's over the landfill
         D              E             A
	Buries us all in it's broken back


Verse   (same chords as first verse)

	There's a man conviction

	And although he's getting old

	Mr. Browning has a prediction

	We've all been told

	So come on back to New York City

	Roll your trucks in at dawn

	Walk with me to the fountain

	And hold onto my arm

Chorus
	last chorus ends like this
	D - E - A - F# - D - E - A

	there is a common walk up pattern used throughout (usually when
	moving from the A to D). It goes 0-2-4 (on A string a-b-c#) to D

About artist:

Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band due to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco.

Although Uncle Tupelo broke up before it achieved commercial success, the band is renowned for its impact on the alternative country music scene.[1] The group's first album, No Depression, became a byword for the genre and was widely influential. Uncle Tupelo's sound was unlike popular country music of the time, drawing inspiration from styles as diverse as the hardcore punk of The Minutemen and the country instrumentation and harmony of the Carter Family and Hank Williams. Farrar and Tweedy lyrics frequently referenced Middle America and the working class of Belleville.
