Frailing Banjo: Sinnerman in G-minorby Fabricari - 10:20 PM (link) |

Daily Frail taught us how to play this song in g-minor tuning. It's one of my favorite songs by 16 Horsepower. It's not related to any post-mardi-gras traditions, or anything; I just really like this song. Maybe it's because it evokes childhood fears of fire, brimstone, and gnashing of teeth.
The chords are just G-minor and F back 'n' forth.
I swiped the lyrics from Nina Simone:
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to?
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to all on that day?
Run to the moon, "Moon won't you hide me?"
Run to the sea, "Sea won't you hide me?"
Run to the sun, "Sun won't you hide me all on that day?"
Lord says, "Sinner man, the moon'll be a bleeding."
Lord says, "Sinner man, the sea'll be a sinking."
Lord says, "Sinner man, the sun'll be a freezin' all on that day!"
Run to the Lord, "Lord won't you hide me?"
Run to the Lord, "Lord won't you hide me?"
Run, run, "Lord won't you hide me all on that day?"
Lord says "Sinner man, you should've been a praying."
Lord says "Sinner man, you should've been a praying."
Lord says "Sinner man, you should've been a praying all on that day."
