Was at his show on sept 27th 2022 and I yelled for this song and he played it and it was so beautiful he is a true legend walking amongst us I love you shakey
Discovered Shakey last night just before I was going to go to bed.....and hour later I was still listening to him on here haha. These are the artists I wait and hope to discover....he's awesome :)
I have insomnia from pain and Autoimmune illnesses. (RA,Raynauds,etc.) I usually find new stuff while I'm stuck awake. I listened for hours of Shakey Graves as well. I was like,"Damn,Damn,Damn he is good!" LOL 🤣 A singer to put soul in the music, is rare anymore.👐 Wish I would've found his music sooner. Why can't we have a radio station that Only plays music like this.(Southern Missouri doesn't at least.)
Please marry me, Mona Lee I need someplace to hide If you can't bind my hands in wedding bands Then I'll daisy chain my life away, my Lord Then I'll daisy chain my life away, my Lord I wish I had a place to stay, my Lord I wish I had a place to stay But no home in sight That banners fly Oh, scarlet, white, and blue My brothers and me will hang from our family tree As the boys who fought and died for you, my Lord The boys who fought and died for you, my Lord Just like screaming into the storm, my Lord Just like screaming into the storm So please find my bones And mail them home You know I miss my family One bullet strayed And my soul flew away And it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord Well, it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord I'll daisy chain my life no more, my Lord I'll daisy chain my life no more
Quite possibly my favourite Shakey performance out of everything I've ever seen of his on UA-cam. Beautiful picking and guitar tone. That voice. Haunting, melancholy lyrics/song. It takes a real artist to be able to transport you into a deeper realm.
I had the opportunity to see him live in Park City this weekend! He is a music God! If he is in your town on tour make sure to check him out!! You will be blown away
This is the video that first introduced me to Shakey Graves several years ago. I've been a fan ever since. Thank you KEXP for turning me onto so many amazing artists through the years.
so just started listening to you, tonight, never listened to you, before, yeah and saw the Daisy Chains, video title, so I had to click on it because I had a dog named Daisy, then.... I was thinking, hmm.. I wonder if he's married? and you started singing will you marry me ...... I about fell off my chair, too funny!!! you are so talented
This my favorite performance of this song and probably my favorite war song period. It helped keep me from signing my ass away to the Army when I felt like I had no other options. Stop screaming into that old storm people… Long live Shakey Graves ❤️🙏
Amazing! KEXP, you're doing great work, i found so many fantastic artists on your channel... Shakey Graves, Smoosh, Sharon van Etten. Probably, i'll find many, many more ;) thanks!
So have I. Devil makes 3 Shakey just them two and what they led too. I don't watch TV or listen to the radio. Thank technology for cellphone advances. He's truly a musical genius
It doesn't give it to you for free anyway.I am a struggling musicians as well and if someone couldn't afford to buy my songs but wanted to listen to them I would be honored.True artist’s/musicians don't do what they do for money.Money is nice and helps so you can keep doing what you love but it shouldn't be the reason you create.
Me and my dad love Johnny cash and he’s the one that introduced me to him. My dad loved Johnny’s music and grew up listening to it. I absolutely adore shakey graves‘s tunes. And if I ever have kids, I’m gonna tell them about shakey graves. Even if they don’t give a shit. Cause fuck them kids I like shakey graves.
+lyssette if you're looking to practice travis picking, i'd recommend pretty girl at the airport by the avett brothers. it was a good intro to that type of picking for me and with a lot of practice you could cover this
+Kilobar VGD well please marry me, yeah oh mona lee oh well i need someplace to hide yeah if you can't bind my hands oh in wedding bands yeah well i'll daisy chain my life away, my lord yeah well i'll daisy chain my life away, my lord well i wish i had a place, oh to stay my lord i wish i had a place oh to stay yeah but no home inside yeah that banners fly oh well scarlet white and blue well my brothers and me yeah will hang from our family tree as the boys who fought and died for you, my lord yeah oh the boys who fought and died for you, my lord just like screaming into the storm, my lord just like screaming into that old storm yeah so i say find my bones and mail them home you know i miss my whole family yeah well the bullets stray and my soul flew away and it sank right to the oceans floor, my lord yeah well it sank right to the oceans floor, my lord oh well it daisy chains my life no more, my lord well i'll daisy chain my life no more
leshanesaw This was my personal interpretation of the song. In the beginning I think he's trying to avoid war either physically or mentally by asking this Mona Lee to marry him. And if she can't imagine "my hands in wedding bands" he'll go off to war without comfort or solace. Towards the end, "my soul flew away" I speculate that he either died at war or a part of him died at war when he came back. Throughout the song he sings about "daisy chains". I think that these chains made from daisies were used in marriage back then when couples were exchanging their vows and they would tie these chains around their arms to signify them tying their lives together. Since this girl won't marry him he's tying his daisy chains to war and life without a home. Again, just my two cents and thanks for reading them :)

Same fr
Please marry me, Mona Lee
I need someplace to hide
If you can't bind my hands in wedding bands
Then I'll daisy chain my life away, my Lord
Then I'll daisy chain my life away, my Lord
I wish I had a place to stay, my Lord
I wish I had a place to stay
But no home in sight
That banners fly
Oh, scarlet, white, and blue
My brothers and me will hang from our family tree
As the boys who fought and died for you, my Lord
The boys who fought and died for you, my Lord
Just like screaming into the storm, my Lord
Just like screaming into the storm
So please find my bones
And mail them home
You know I miss my family
One bullet strayed
And my soul flew away
And it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord
Well, it sank right to the ocean floor, my Lord
I'll daisy chain my life no more, my Lord
I'll daisy chain my life no more

He’s seriously gorgeous. And that voice 🔥
I thank the Lord every day for giving us Shakey
This is the type of music that makes my soul feel at home
I had the opportunity to see him live in Park City this weekend! He is a music God! If he is in your town on tour make sure to check him out!! You will be blown away

Shakey just keeps getting better.
This song should be at Spotify
This my favorite performance of this song and probably my favorite war song period.
It helped keep me from signing my ass away to the Army when I felt like I had no other options.

Now this is what I call music.

242 people, over the course of 7 years, have disliked this video. Im sad for those 242 souls and their lack of taste as jealousy takes it's place.

How dare they.. 🙁
This song is one of my favorites.
Loved the song
i love shakey graves
Wishing this was on itunes
This is free on Bandcamp; It doesn't need to be on iTunes.
Thought ya' should know.
James Buchanan no it's not free..
It's also free on youtube....
I will def be buying all your tunes soon.There hasn't been one song of his I dislike.
It's free on Bandcamp.
+James Buchanan awesome thank you
or you could support him and buy his music. if not at least go to his shows
It doesn't give it to you for free anyway.I am a struggling musicians as well and if someone couldn't afford to buy my songs but wanted to listen to them I would be honored.True artist’s/musicians don't do what they do for money.Money is nice and helps so you can keep doing what you love but it shouldn't be the reason you create.
Sarah Wells. thanks for writing. I needed to hear
So lovely...
my favorite one from him

love you shakey
Shakey and nahko need to do something together. If Udk of nahko you gotta check him out. Songs by him. Great spirit, make a change, warrior people.
Brad CH, hell yes. I would be so happy if this happened!
Stina Borrazas idk how it would be possible to get them to hook up but it would definitely be worth it.
It would be magical. I have had the pleasure of seeing Nahko but not Shakey yet, unless you count my dreams
Nahko and the Medicine for the People changed my fucking life.
Brad CH shakey needs to come home, to madeline island.
Me and my dad love Johnny cash and he’s the one that introduced me to him.
My dad loved Johnny’s music and grew up listening to it.
I absolutely adore shakey graves‘s tunes. And if I ever have kids, I’m gonna tell them about shakey graves. Even if they don’t give a shit.
Cause fuck them kids
I like shakey graves.
Love the little laugh at the beginning
he has a good voice
Wonderful...
it's an acoustic-electric guitar. Specifically a pre war Kay guitar modified with a Gibson humbucker pickup.
its a loar lh-650
One of his more beautiful/emotional songs, I think
if you get a chance listen to the live version of roll the bones its perfection
'22 anthem 🤠
Wonderful
Shake I got acouple of them mini amps for my violin,very happy-go-lucky
more please :)
please rerelease your build to roam version from balcony tv
that was sooo crazy good! love this song too :D!
I wanna cover this song so bad but I can't figure out that guitar playing! It's too advanced for me lol
***** look up travis picking ,] you can do it
bobby mckee Thanks!
+lyssette if you're looking to practice travis picking, i'd recommend pretty girl at the airport by the avett brothers. it was a good intro to that type of picking for me and with a lot of practice you could cover this
Oh, thank you! I appreciate it. (:
Anyone know if this is in standard tuning? I cannot seem to find a good tab for this song
Shakey tunes his guitars to his inner key....I hear that. Gotta love a natural
So good! Very upset that it's not on Itunes.
Preston Rutz not anymore
I have this on my phone's music library amateurs
great song title
I feel like a straight girl when I listen to Shakey, hehe :P
I feel like a transgender
Meteja Klukas maybe because it’s true... Think about that...
Can't begin to describe what I feel like.
I laughed so hard when I read this😂😂
Pedro Sequeira I laughed so hard!!! 😂🤣 Oh, Lordy! LOL
Anyone know if this is in standard tuning? I cannot seem to find a good tab for this song
Increíble
Catchy
Anyone know what kind of guitar that is? It's beautiful
If anyone one knows a tab to this it would be greatly appreciated.
Coño que bueno ta Shakey.
I believe it's a Loar.
i keep waiting for him to rock . when does the song start?
Does anyone know the picking pattern for this? Have the chords down just can't get the picking quite right
Michael Hussey what are the chords and tuning open d maj?
what type of guitar is he playing? Is it a hollow body electric, or what?
I believe Jamie Holmes is correct. Inexpensive guitars as well, sound great though.
I swear I seen your face somewhere before
Anyone know the guitar model
does anybody know which guitar he uses? its soo awesome!
Its a 1932 gibson L-7, roll the bones X has a few recordings discussing the old owner Jay Manley and how he got ahold of it
Could anybody write the lyrics?
+Kilobar VGD

Andy Hyde it's about a guy who doesn't want to go to war, so he asks a girl to marry him
somebody please tab this
just something to base it off would be appreciated, i'd just like to know the chords he uses
thank you so much ^_^
george00027 Tuned in DMaj
+aceey2 Nope. Standard tuning
I already posted it. Its on guitar pro and songster
I miss Austin
Anyone know or hazard a guess at the tuning?...
D A D F# A D open D tuning is what he usually uses, I would imagine its the same on this track
***** lol look at his fingers. it's standard tuning
Can one of you guys tab this? i realize it floats around C, Am, G, and D. can't figure out the picking pattern though.
Pine Stein
Try some travis picking lessons here on youtube shoulld be easy to suss once you have that down
Can some one suggest similar artists for me?
Mandolin Orange is compatible, but there’s only one Shakey Graves.
Hey anyone found a real tab for this yet?
I already posted it. Its on guitar pro and songster
Mail them home
I love the song + his voice, but lyrics are a bit weak.
TAB PLEASE!
I already posted it. Its on guitar pro and songster
Does anyone know what type of guitar this is?
+Politics&Poetry The Loar
+Politics&Poetry
Not sure of brand, not Fender , though.
I think it is an 8 string guitar.
Custom made.
Dick Dale , King of Surf Guitar, has one also.
+French Hands The Loar LH-650 Archtop
Does anyone have an interpretation of the meaning?
Discover your own its personal. That's the beauty of music
leshanesaw This was my personal interpretation of the song.
In the beginning I think he's trying to avoid war either physically or mentally by asking this Mona Lee to marry him. And if she can't imagine "my hands in wedding bands" he'll go off to war without comfort or solace.

I think that these chains made from daisies were used in marriage back then when couples were exchanging their vows and they would tie these chains around their arms to signify them tying their lives together. Since this girl won't marry him he's tying his daisy chains to war and life without a home.
Again, just my two cents and thanks for reading them :)
+Hardwire its funny because daisy chain is a term we use for ieds. multiple warheads or explosives tied together with one detonator.
It really should of been called "Fingerpickathon"
😭
Haha Kenny, but of course!
...right him a new one then lord lyric
