C G
The whiskey is surely poison
C D
The whiskey, is a deep dark medicine
C G
She’ll seduce you, then turn you into nothing
D C G
For whiskey is a whore, a deep dark medicine
C G
This whiskey will surely beat you
C G
Rip your clothes and take away your home
C G
Make you raise your voice to women and children
D G
Turn you a Hydish creature left to roam
C G
How many lost their souls
C G
To that peat smelling stream o’ gold
D
It looks like piss still they want it’s kiss
D7 C
Yes the whiskey is a deep dark medicine

I love these alternative versions of the 'Murmuration' songs. The stripped down instrumentation creates an intimite vibe, while the poem intertwines them into a concept-like album. As a result, this is a new album that stands out on its own and that is more than just a complement to 'Murmuration'. 'Ordinary' already was a beautiful song, yet 'Extraordinary' adds something extra for me. And because the piano intro somehow calls up some recognition. Another beautiful album by Emily Barker! rbergman
