Can I please gets the chords for "Next to Nothing" I can't stop listening to it and I want to play along but can't figure it out... Been watching live videos but I'm having trouble. You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
[This is my best effort. A couple words I can't pick out] Head was hung low, And your sound was much older, But as records spin, time tiptoes by, Bones on a thread fall from your shoulders, Stitchin' the seam 'tween the earth the sky. You're wearin' the soul of a coal miners' daughter, Down in a hole, singin' your song. Or kickin' the will(?) back in some holler, Patchin' up holes in the settin' sun. Chorus: We are the ones that hang by the needle, Stuck in a groove, cut by your hand. Wrapped in a cloak, safe in the shadow, Of Calvary's Arc cast o'er the land. Cracks in the sound, And the hiss of the silence, The kiss of Death and the palest blue, The seventh horse that rode forth to warn us, Of Morphine Girl and the Sword of Truth (chorus) There's a poetic conceit going, with a record playing in the background, giving a double meaning to words like "needle" and "groove." "Cracks in the sound and the hiss of the silence" refers to a record playing as well. Also some possible religious/biblical references: "Calvary's Ark," is new to me, but I'm almost sure that's the lyric, and it looks like it has meaning in Christianity. There are only four horses in the book of Revelation, but one of them carries Death. There are seven seals, though, and the seventh is "silence in heaven." *These could also be fiction references. "The Sword of Truth" is a fantasy series by Terry Goodkind, and "The Seventh Horse" is a story collection from Leonora Carrington.

Stichin' the seam between the earth and the sky... yup, apt description....
There's a lot to this song that I can feel, good tune.
Saw Mandolin Orange in concert at Red Rocks last night, and they were so good
Sad song with a powerful message. If we only listened.....
good lord. powerful duo
except its a quintet

use your guitar or piano, and ears as your guide its very satisfying.
"Wrapped in a cloak, safe in the shadow". My heroin addiction of 15 years
Love this song
[This is my best effort. A couple words I can't pick out]
Head was hung low,
And your sound was much older,
But as records spin, time tiptoes by,
Bones on a thread fall from your shoulders,
Stitchin' the seam 'tween the earth the sky.
You're wearin' the soul of a coal miners' daughter,
Down in a hole, singin' your song.
Or kickin' the will(?) back in some holler,
Patchin' up holes in the settin' sun.
Chorus:
We are the ones that hang by the needle,
Stuck in a groove, cut by your hand.
Wrapped in a cloak, safe in the shadow,
Of Calvary's Arc cast o'er the land.
Cracks in the sound,
And the hiss of the silence,
The kiss of Death and the palest blue,
The seventh horse that rode forth to warn us,
Of Morphine Girl and the Sword of Truth
(chorus)

"Coal Miner's Daughter" refers to the Loretta Lynn film, quite likely.
