LYRICS & CHORDS
I'm gonna wrap myself in paper
I'm gonna daub myself with glue
Stick some stamps on top of my head
I'm gonna mail myself to you
I'm gonna tie me up in a red string
I'm gonna tie blue ribbons too
I'm gonna climb up in my mailbox
I'm gonna mail myself to you
D A / " / D G / D AD
When you see me in your mailbox
Cut the string and let me out
Wash the glue off my fingers
Stick some bubblegum in my mouth
Take me out of my wrapping paper
Wash the stamps off of my head
Pour me full of ice cream sodies
Tuck me in my nice warm bed

LYRICS & CHORDS
Chorus: D — — — / Em — A — / 1st / Em A D —
All I really need is a song in my heart
Food in my belly and love in my family
All I really need is a song in my heart
And love in my family
1. And I need the rain to fall
And I need the sun to shine
To give life to the seeds we sow, to give the food we need to grow
All I really need is a song in my heart / and love in my family
Verses: Em A D — / " / Em — F#m G A — / D — — — / 1st
2. And I need some clean water for drinking
And I need some clean air for breathing
So that I can grow up strong and take my place where I belong...

Wychwood Ottawa, Ontario
We're a duo (Chrissy Steinbock & Tim Kitz) who identify only half-jokingly as “the world’s first blackgrass band.” We both sing & play guitar or banjo, while mixing in accordion, bass, saw, dobro, harmonica, glockenspiel, etc. Some days we’re acoustic purists. Some days we like to corrupt traditional folksongs with bits of black metal, ambient, & noise, trying to make folk music dangerous again. ... more

Putting the Sky to Sleep
by Seth Martin and the Menders
Seth's an old friend, tourmate, and inspiration who makes great folk music. A kind of 21st century Woody Guthrie – rooted in tradition but searching for justice in the present.

dust & stars is dreamy and atmospheric, yet also fragile and sparse – and utterly lovely.

Sissy is Chrissy's solo project. It's thoughtful singer-songwriter fare, with lush instrumental twists.
