    One of the things I love about Nick is how raw he is. All of the artists on your channel are raw, but Nick has a certain level of punk rawness that is just so honest and real and it keeps me coming back for more. There's nothing between me and his voice, between me and his feelings, between me and the lyrics, it's just so raw. Thanks Nick and thanks to y'all for capturing this

      @@victorkreig6089 is your implication simply that because something predates punk it's not punk? Because like, I LOVE jazz music and Bebop Jazz predates punk but to me Bebop is punk as fuck. I don't really see your point. Stop gatekeeping

    Bit late to the game, but there you go, lyrics and chords below. Love Nick's music so much, a real inspiration!
    Capo on 2, D tuning aka 2 half steps down. You can play it in Standard tuning without Capo as well though
    The A7 is always played just for one stroke before switching to the E, listen closely to get the timing. if its too complicated, just stay with the A
    Intro E A Am E B7 E
    Verses E A A7 E / E B7 / E A A7 E / E B7 E
    Chorus A A7 E / A Am F# B7 / E A E / E B7 E / E B7 E
    Interlude E B7 E
    Chorus 2 A A7 E / A Am F# B7 / E A E / E B7 E A / E B7 E A Am E B7 E
    [Intro]
    [Verse 1]
    Under every yellow moon by your side I sweat and swoon
    Every evening closes slow we guide our way by city’s glow
    If you’re lost and low as I, be the road I walk at night
    I hope you’re resting where the willows all grow
    [Chorus]
    Where you’ve been, I’ll never pry, fallow land and bigger skies
    All I ask of you tonight is guide each wandering light
    I will not die in Louisianne, I’ll gaze upon you while I can
    Roll along big water, roll low
    Roll along big water, roll low
    [Interlude]
    [Verse 2]
    You’re high above me while I sleep, I sing my secrets to your deep
    An endless front porch lying naked before doom
    Every lower I spend my days for your mercy the crescent prays
    Don’t forget all of the ones you laid low
    [Chorus]
    Where you’ve been, I’ll never pry, fallow land and bigger skies
    All I ask of you tonight is guide each wandering light
    Be it Natchez or Creole Queen on your banks we softly sing
    Roll along big water, roll low
