- We figured if we're gonna ask y'all to submit songs and make videos for the Gems In The Rough 2022 contest, us on the GemsOnVHS team might as well take part, too. If us amateurs can do it, so can you! It gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how these Gold Tone instrument prizes sound as well, so there's that. Don't worry, we won't be in the running to win. But there's still a couple days to enter so that you can. Thanks to Reeve Powers for playing with me, and thanks to Gold Tone for supplying the tools!
For the second year in a row, we're featuring a Fred Eaglesmith song. This one's "Cigarette Machine" from the album 6Volts. Check out the full album

i watched this masterpiece 1000 times i have to ask whats with the attention please cans
Now I want to get drunk and feel sad, in a good way.
Nailed it! 👍
You mean nostalgia. You want to feel nostalgic.
That's pretty much what I thought. This would go great on repeat by a fire with a six pack. It went pretty good sober at work though too.
Wow, yup
Oh man. I'm there.
Fuck, this song could be an hour long and I'd listen to it endlessly.
My best boy Thor passed this afternoon. Cancer up and down his throat. Tonight I’m smoking a J and hitting the bong is his honor to this song. He loved folk music and used to howl at the moon with me and lay by my side as I stair at the stars from my lawn chair on the shop patio. Thor buddy, I found the best song for us. Rest easy up there biggie I’ll look for you first.
love yall

Fred eagle smith is one most Underrated songwriters of all time
if you say so. . .
I'm glad we agree on something!!
The most known unknown. Me and colter wall talked about that some years ago.
@@GemsOnVHS makes me wonder if he got the inspiration for Kate McCannon from Fred's song Katie.
Absolutely.
My wife and I have called you Lil' Gem since the obscure early days. Thought you deserved to know. Its a term of endearment. You're a fantastic musician man. Keep on doing literally everything you're doing. You've done more for folk and underrepresented artists than most people ever will. Just awesome.
thank you for the kind words!
My Grandma is good friends with Fred Eaglesmith.. great dude.
Love when you sing this one bud.
This a great tune. I was tapping my foot before I realized I was drumming on my coffee table
It's beautiful and I can't stop listening
Love Fred eaglesmith
man i have loved this version since i found it on spotify, i like freds but this one is more aesthetic and haunting.
thanks for enjoying it, i love this song as well. give it a share
That was lovely Anthony, great job, really enjoyed this. Working on my GitR entry atm, so seeing the instruments was a nice extra as well!
Chords and lyrics below as always folks. Note you have to tune your guitar down to D tuning, Banjo would be in standard open G.
D tuning (2 half steps down), no Capo
Intro G D Am C x2
Verses G / D / Am / C x2
Chorus G D / Am C / G D / Am C / Am C
Interlude G D Am C x2
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Stumbling past your house baby
At the break of day
I thought I saw your silhouette
Dancing cross the shade
And I went down to the mission
Called and called your name
Till an angel with a face like yours
Came and let me in
[Chorus]
I thought I saw your reflection in a cigarette machine
In a bottle in the gutter, on a window in a street
In a storefront in a picture, on an old broken TV
I swear it was you staring back at me
I swear it was you staring back at me
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I heard soldiers' voices
Down by the city gate
There were junkies lying on the ground
They made me look away
And I spilled you on a mirror
And I chopped you into lines
And over some old kitchen sink
I swore I'd let you die
[Chorus]
I thought I saw your reflection in a cigarette machine
In a bottle in the gutter, on a window in a street
In a storefront in a picture, on an old broken TV
I swear it was you staring back at me
I swear it was you staring back at me
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Well old radios and broken mirrors
And dogeared things I read
Worn out movie stars
In faded limousines
I battled through my own charades
Of coffee cups and clowns
I can't keep up with parades
Cause I keep falling down
[Chorus]
I thought I saw your reflection in a cigarette machine
In a bottle in the gutter, on a window in a street
In a storefront in a picture, on an old broken TV
I swear it was you staring back at me
I swear it was you staring back at me
Thanks so much
Anthony
You ve made my life better
I spent most of my life locked up
When I finally woke up
I was all alone
With nothing
Now I have a room and music
Sweet sweet music
I gave up on new music till I found gems and you
God bless you son
Such a great song by Fred.
Fantastic rendition of one of my favorite songs. Thank you so much. You just made my day.

This may be the final inspiration for me to buy a banjo.

This is the most soothing song.

Sucks you dropped the ball with the kingdom 😂 but i do love gemsonvhs and folk music. Love you King Brother. 👍
That banjo sounds nice. If I sung original songs I'd enter just in hopes of winning it.
Nice. ❤️
So wild I was tuned to DCGFAD for "Demons" by Darkest Hour, and then this came on and I was like "Is this supposed to be tuned a step down?
Nice tune!
Good
I've listened to this more than you
I think I'm responsible for about 300 or these views 🥃
So, what are the chords Lil' Gem? Help me. I'm a union man now, and no longer have the time to obsessively watch and I'm not so great at doing stuff by ear. Love this song though. We'd be friends.
I remember getting my dad cigarettes out of the old machines as a kid.
A relic
