Its All In Your Head
Diamond Rio
It’s All in Your Head Diamond Rio (Diamond Rio IV) I am using the notation "Ano3" to indicate do not play the 3rd in the A chord for example. The DR guitarist either uses hybrid picking or just regular finger style to pick only the and strings for the rhythm and to sometimes includes "no third" rock sound. Sometimes I also play the Dno3 as a Dsus2 and lots of variations like that. Anyway a key element to this song is the no third sound which changes to full 3rd included sounds when you hit the chorus. Experiment with it. Great song. Verse 1 Ano3 Mama died young giving birth to a son in a home for wayward girls Papa was a sidewalk soapbox preacher looking forward to the end of the world Dno3 Every friday night he’d pick Jesus a fight down at the local pool hall Ano3 Racking up souls condemning all those caught behind the eightball He said "I preach the light the light shows the way don’t ever trust what the government say Ano3 (mute) we never walked on the moon Elvis ain’t dead you ain’t goin’ crazy it’s all in your head" Ano3 Lucy was a messed up dressed up waitress with a slightly tarnished heart of gold She wasn’t half bad for a new step mama as far as step mama’s go Dno3 Daddy knew she was the one as he baked in the sun in a parking lot preaching the truth Up shot her hand and she cried oh man "I feel it yes I feel it I do" It’s been revealed to me down deep in my soul there were two shooters on the grassy knoll Ano3 (mute) We never walked on the moon Elvis ain’t dead you ain’t goin’ crazy it’s all in your head It’s all interpretation to find the truth you gotta read between the lines Work out your own salvation that narrow path is hard to define Heaven’s more than a place it’s a state of mind Ano3 In his quest for truth Daddy was moved by the spirit to take up a snake In a moment of doubt the venom turned out stronger than Daddy’s faith Dno3 I’ll never forget in his dying breath the last words that he said Ano3 (mute) "We never walked on the moon Elvis ain’t dead you ain’t goin’ crazy it’s all in your head" Chorus State of Mind
