Help

Q: What are tags?
A: Tags are a way to add consistent notes to songs.

Q: When should I use tags?
A: Tags should be used for "notes" that can apply to multiple songs or performances. A good tag would be "clawhammer", to apply to all songs that Billy plays on his banjo. A bad tag would be "Streaker ran across stage" - since this has only happened once (thank goodness).

Q: Where should I add a tag?
A: A tag that should apply to everytime a song is played, like "solo, acappella" for "And am I Born to Die" should be added on the songs page. This will automatically add the tag every time that song is added to a setlist.

A tag that only applies to certain performances of a song, like "pay Jarrod Walker's fine" lyric change that happens in some versions of "Little Maggie" should be added to that particular version of the song on each setlist.

Q: How do I add a tag?
A: Click the "Manage tags" button either from the songs page or the song editing option on the edit setlist page. Click on a tag from the "Available" tags to add it to the song. Click on a tag from under the song title to remove it from the song. Click the "New Tag" button if the tag you want to add is not under the Available tags list.

White Freight Liner Blues

Townes Van Zandt

Live at The Old Quarter, Houston, Texas (Live)

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
Ah White Freightliner
Won't you steal away my mind

[Verse 2]
Well New Mexico ain't bad, Lord
And the people there they treat you kind
Well New Mexico ain't bad, Lord
And the people there they treat you kind
Ah White Freightliner
Won't you steal away my mind

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Well, it's bad news from Houston
Half my friends are dying
Well, it's bad news from Houston
Half my friends are dying
White Freightliner
Won't you steal away my mind

[Verse 4]
Lordy, Lord I'm gonna ramble
Till I get back to where I came
Ah Lord, I'm gonna ramble
Till I get back to where I came
Till that White Freightliner
Gonna haul away my brain

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
I'm goin' out on the highway
Listen to them big trucks whine
Ah White Freightliner
Won't you steal away my mind
