Gone
Skiffle and early rock’n’roll 1950s style. Raw and youthful energy, fast tempo. Acoustic guitar with strong rhythmic strumming, simple upright bass, washboard percussion. Male vocal with British accent, playful and rebellious, catchy sing-along chorus. Influences of Lonnie Donegan, early Elvis, Chuck Berry. Lo-fi, live garage feel, joyful and spontaneous.

Lyrics
Verse
We had late nights
Neon lights
Whiskey shots and barroom fights
Yeah, we made it
Cheap guitars
Old pickup cars
Laughin’ loud under broken stars
Yeah, we made it
Pre-Chorus
Clock on the wall
’Bout to fall
Chorus
Gone
Yeah, the old year’s gone
Gone
Man, the old year’s gone
Gone
All the right and wrong
Gone
Yeah, the old year’s gone
Verse 2
Bent bar stools
Half-broke rules
Played some hearts, played some fools
Yeah, we lived it
Dusty boots
Hard-earned truth
Ain’t much left but nothin’ to lose
Yeah, we lived it
Pre-Chorus
Raise that glass
Let it pass
Chorus
Gone
Yeah, the old year’s gone
Gone
Man, the old year’s gone
Gone
All the nights too long
Gone
Yeah, the old year’s gone
Bridge
Here’s to scars and bad advice
Midnight bells and rollin’ dice
Leave the past by the barroom door
New year knockin’, pour one more
Final Chorus
Hey
Let the new year come
Hey
Yeah, the new year come
Hey
With a beat and a drum
Hey
Let the new year come
