"Big Black Car" - Gregory Alan Isakov (Instrumental) Solo-Acoustic-Fingerstyle

I'm a huge fan of Greg's lyrics, but parts of this tune made me want to create a solo-guitar arrangement for it, maybe also just for fun and because there aren't many instrumental covers of his songs floating around. My versions of "Amsterdam" and "Second Chances" are on this channel as well (with vocals). If you miss the lyrics while listening here they are:

You were a phonograph, I was a kid
I sat with an ear close, just listening
I was there when the rain tapped her way down your face
You were a miracle, I was just holdin' your space

Well, time has a way of throwing it all in your face
The past, she is haunted, the future is laced
Heartbreak, ya know, drives a big black car
Swear I was in the back seat, just minding my own

And through the glass, the corn crows come like rain
They won't stay, they won't stay
For too long now
This could be all that we know
Of love and all.

Well, you were a dancer, I was a rag
The song in my head, well, was all that I had
Hope was a letter I never could send
Love was a country we couldn't defend.

And through the carnival we watch them go round and round
All we knew of home was just a sunset and some clowns

Well, you were a magazine, I was a plain Jane
Just walking the sidewalks all covered in rain
Love to just get into some of your stories
Me and all of my plain Jane glory,
Just me and all of my plain Jane glory

Written and composed by Gregory Alan Isakov, I don't own any rights to this song.
