The band’s name was inspired by a joke from their youth, involving a misadventure in a clover field which left them itching for days – hence, Scratchy Clover. Their passion for music and enthusiasm for creating a unique sound saw them performing at local gigs and eventually recording their first album in a makeshift studio in Danny’s garage. After years of hard work and perseverance, Scratchy Clover gained a cult following and continues to produce consistent hits, retaining their passionate fan base and gaining new admirers every day.

Title:
“Rusty Chains”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1):
[G] Woke up this morning with [C] rusty chains on my [D] heart
[G] Memories of you [C] fading, tearing me [D] apart
[Em] I put on my jacket, [C] walked out in the [G] rain
[Em] Hoping somehow [C] it would wash away the [D] pain
(Chorus):
[G] Rusty chains, [C] can’t break free
[D] Your love’s got a [Em] hold on [C] me
[G] Rusty chains, [C] please let go
[D] I need to find a way to [Em] heal my [C] soul
(Verse 2):
[G] Silhouettes dancing in the [C] still of the [D] night
[G] Echoes of laughter, [C] but you’re nowhere in [D] sight
[Em] Shadows of the past, [C] haunt me in my [G] dreams
[Em] I’m trying to escape, [C] but louder are the [D] screams
(Chorus):
[G] Rusty chains, [C] can’t break free
[D] Your love’s got a [Em] hold on [C] me
[G] Rusty chains, [C] please let go
[D] I need to find a way to [Em] heal my [C] soul
