When You go home tell them of us and say for your tomorrow we gave our today

Tying moonbeams with a silken thread

Seling burgers at the hill of souls

Travelling round the dark side of our lives

Lightning from a clear blue sky - scambling my circuits and melting all my wires

The smell of rain on long dry earth

The purple sky of the lightning's birth

The ice cold touch of morning dew

These are the things that feel of you

You are the colour in my monochrome

You are the cheering in my velodrome

You are whisper of the softest shoe

These are the thing that feel of you

And when the dogs are black and life presses down

When my only feature is a frown

When all my fears are my very own

You are the harmonies in my monotone

sunlight through a thickets cloak

.... dancing in the smoke

Insects hanging in a beam of light

Feathers falling in mid-flight

Spiders webs with dewdrops hung

All I wanted was a simple tease

Then you reached inside - gave my heart a squeeze

She walks through the shadows in my mind

Her naked feet paint the morning dew with the soft strokes of a new day

There's a black dog walking through my waking dreams

There's a black crow sliding through the dying leaves

If...

The parasite that kills the host in small but lethal strikes

And all in the name of our right to know

I'll sit and search my barren brain for words that capture how I feel

I'll sharpen up my lowly wit, your image in my head a steel

I'll cut your silhouette from the fabric of a lonely life

and mount it on my castled soul

And those not busy buying are busy being bought (thanks Bob:-))

• My skin just aches

• Sliding down the sharp edge of a broken heart

• Take the colours from my life

•A prison's still a prison even when you can't see the bars - they'll keep you focussed on the distance so the bars are blurred

• They jerk you and they'll work you till your not sure where reality lies

Fairytale of New York

It was christmas eve babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me, wont see another one

And then he sang a song

The rare old mountain dew

I turned my face away

And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one

Came in eighteen to one

Ive got a feeling

This years for me and you

So happy christmas

I love you baby

I can see a better time

When all our dreams come true

Theyve got cars big as bars

Theyve got rivers of gold

But the wind goes right through you

Its no place for the old

When you first took my hand

On a cold christmas eve

You promised me

Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome

You were pretty

Queen of new york city

When the band finished playing

They howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging,

All the drunks they were singing

We kissed on a corner

Then danced through the night

The boys of the nypd choir

Were singing galway bay

And the bells were ringing out

For christmas day

Youre a bum

Youre a punk

Youre an old slut on junk

Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scumbag, you maggot

You cheap lousy faggot

Happy christmas your arse

I pray God its our last

I could have been someone

Well so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me babe

I put them with my own

Cant make it all alone

Ive built my dreams around you

Nothing Ever Happens ringtone

Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed

And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats

Janitors padlock the gates

For security guards to patrol

And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink

While the married ones turn on a chat show

And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore

Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go

And by five o'clock everything's dead

And every third car is a cab

And ignorant people sleep in their beds

Like the doped white mice in the college lab

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there

The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care

Close-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day

And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed

Just survive constant action replay

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs

While angry from Manchester writes to complain about

All the repeats on T.V.

And computer terminals report some gains

On the values of copper and tin

While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs

For the price of a hospital wing

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

The needle returns to the start of the song

And we all sing along like before

Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock

And we'll all go along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Notes: This song is very easy to play and to sing.

It seems to be a good stuff to learn to change between the basic chords.

In the last verse the second and the third line seems strange to the metre.

Listen carefully to the song. It will be clear if you heard it.

(I have transcribed the song because I missed it on OLGA. I think, it is a very nice song

to sing, when you are sitting on a nice and warm summer evening with some fine people

on the beach, staring at the fire and feel good. Dream on...;))

Have fun and greetings from Germany

Thomas Bernard, Frankfurt/Main

Hey, Baby I just got back from town
where the bribes are paid
Honey, they turned my offer down
They say the deal’s already made

So now I gotta stand and watch
while it all comes down
and the buzzards and the hawks
and the judges and the mob
circle around

Now if I were the
queen of all the world
I would go in chains
just to see you free

of the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the pride that hooks you
while the big ones get away

Love junkies wanna change the world:
it quickly stays the same
and money junkies hire all the smart ones
Power junkies run the game

One step at a time
Polarity Hill
If the bad guys don’t get you
then the good guys will

With angels on the take
and gangsters in the yard
Hey don't the wars come easy
Hey don't the peace come hard

And if I had a way
to reach the sky
I’d grab that crescent moon
wield it like a knife
save you from the lies

From the ropes that bind you
and the role you play
and the game that hooks you
while the big ones get away.

Ride On

True you ride the finest horse I have ever seen,

Standing sixteen, one or two. With eyes wild and green,

You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch,

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to.

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to.

When you ride in to the night without a trace behind,

Run your claw along my gut one last time.

I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie,

And look for the spark that lights the night

Through a teardrop in my eye.

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to.

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you

No matter how I wanted to.

The Island (Paul Brady)

Paul Brady - The Island

                     D          A                 D                A
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
                      D        A                    D                A
Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
                          D          A             D                 A
They're showing pictures on the television
                    D           A               D
Women and children dying in the street
G
And we're still at it in our own place
D                                A                         D
Still trying to reach the future through the past
G
Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone

Chorus :
D
But Hey! Don't listen to me!
D7                                     G
This wasn't meant to be no sad song
                          A                    D
We've heard too much of that before
                                      A
Right now I only want to be here with you
           G           A               D
Till the morning dew comes falling
                                      G
I want to take you to the island
                        A                      D
And trace your footprints in the sand
                                            A
And in the evening when the sun goes down
                  G              A                                D
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

They're raising banners over by the markets
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
No way our holy flag is gonna fall
Up here we sacrifice our children
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
And teach them dying will lead us into glory...

Chorus

Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
And I know this peace and love's just copping out
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
Is just what being free is all about
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
Will bring us all together in the end
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
Freedom

TITLE: Bee's Wing

Lyrics and Chords

I was nineteen when I came to town

They called it the Summer of Love

They were burning babies, burning flags

The hawks against the doves

I took a job in the steamie

Down on Cauldrum Street

And I fell in love with a laundry girl

Who was working next to me

/ D Bm D - / / / A - G - /:

{Refrain}

Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing

So fine a breath of wind might blow her away

She was a lost child, oh she was running wild

She said "As long as there's no price on love, I'll stay

And you wouldn't want me any other way"

/ Bm - - - D - - - / Bm A G A G - - - / 1st /

/ Bm A G A G - D - / Em D G A G - D - /

Brown hair zig-zag around her face

And a look of half-surprise

Like a fox caught in the headlights

There was animal in her eyes

She said "Young man, oh can't you see

I'm not the factory kind

If you don't take me out of here

I'll surely lose my mind"

{Refrain}

...So fine that I might crush her where she lay...

We busked around the market towns

And picked fruit down in Kent

And we could tinker lamps and pots and knives

Wherever we went

And I said that we might settle down

Get a few acres dug

Fire burning in the hearth

And babies on the rug

She said "Oh man, you foolish man

It surely sounds like hell.

You might be lord of half the world

You'll not own me as well"

{Refrain}

...So fine a breath of wind might blow her away...

We was camping down the Gower one time

The work was pretty good

She thought we shouldn't wait for the frost

And I thought maybe we should

We was drinking more in those days

And tempers reached a pitch

And like a fool I let her run

With the rambling itch

Oh the last I heard she's sleeping rough

Back on the Derby beat

White Horse in her hip pocket

And a wolfhound at her feet

And they say she even married once

A man named Romany Brown

But even a gypsy caravan

Was too much settling down

And they say her flower is faded now

Hard weather and hard booze

But maybe that's just the price you pay

For the chains you refuse

{As Refrain}

Oh she was a rare thing, fine as a bee's wing

And I miss her more than ever words could say

If I could just taste all of her wildness now

If I could hold her in my arms today

Well I wouldn't want her any other way

ARTIST: Richard Thompson

TITLE: The Dimming of the Day

Lyrics and Chords

[Capo 3]

This old house is falling down around my ears

I'm drowning in a river of my tears

When all my will is gone you hold me sway

I need you at the dimming of the day

/ C - G - / F C G - / 1st / F CG C - /

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide

You know just where I keep my better side

/ G - D - / G - D GC F - /

What days have come to keep us far apart

A broken promise or a broken heart

Now all the bonnie birds have winged away

I need you at the dimming of the day

Come the night you're only what I want

Come the night you could be my confidant

I see you on the street in company

Why don't you come and ease your mind with me

I'm living for the night we steal away

I need you at the dimming of the day

... / C G C - /

	When I am down and,	oh my soul, so	weary;

	When troubles come and	my heart burd	ened be;

Then, I am	still and wait here in the	silence,

	E	A	E
Until you come and	sit awhile with	me.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up: To more than I can be.

To Make You Feel My Love - Bob Dylan

When the rain is blowin' in your face

And the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embrace

To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I've known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue

I'd go crawlin' down the avenue

No, there's nothin' that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love.

Though storms are raging on the rollin' sea

And on the highway of regrets

Though winds of change are throwing wild and free

You ain't seen nothin' like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true

Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the Earth for you

To make you feel my love

To Make You Feel My Love

Words and Music by Bob Dylan

Here is a revised version of the version that is in the chord archive.

inversions and bass notes, and then arranged it in Db for the guitar and

to my tastes.

May you never (C) - John Martyn - Chords and Lyrics

May you never by John Marytn was originally played in D, I think, but this is transposed for easy playing, put a capo about fret 4. played in C you can still do a few pull offs that retain the flavour of the song,and its a lot easier to bash out, but I'll post the D version too with tab.

Capo 4th Fret

G   F   C              Am
May you never lay your head down,
G                 C
without a hand to hold.
         Am             G              C   F C
May you never make your bed out in the cold.

G
You're just like a great strong brother of mine;

Seminole Wind

John Anderson ( or is it Jon Anderson ?)

Em G D A

Em G

Ever since the days of old

D A

Men would search for wealth untold

Em G

They'd dig for silver and for gold

D A

And leave the empty holes;

Em G

And way down south in the Everglades

D A

Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves

Em G

The eagles fly and the otters play

D A

In the land of the Seminole;

| Em G

|So blow, blow Seminole wind

|D A

|Blow like you're never gonna blow again;

|Em G

| I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

| D A

|But I don't know who you are;

| Em G

|And blow, blow from the Okeechobee

|D A

|All the way up to Micanopy (pronounced: Meh-can-o-pee)

|Em G

|Blow across the home of the Seminole

| D A

|The aligator and the gull

Em G D A

Progress came and took its toll

And in the name of flood control

They made their plans and they drained the land

Now the Glades are goin' dry

And the last time I walked in the swamp

I stood up on a cypruss stump

I listened close and I heard the ghost

Of Oseola cry

| Em G

|So blow, blow Seminole wind

|D A

|Blow like you're never gonna blow again;

|Em G

| I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

| D A

|But I don't know who you are;

| Em G

|And blow, blow from the Okeechobee

|D A

|All the way up to Micanopy (pronounced: Meh-can-o-pee)

Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley & Alison Krauss

Album: Mud On The Tires

Writers: Bill Anderson/Jon Randall

Intro: Bm G

D G Bm

She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette

A D G A

She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget

Bm A D

We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time

Bm A D

But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind

Until tonight...

Chorus 1:

D G A

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger

Bm A G

And finally drank away her memory

D A

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Bm A G

Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

D A

They found him with his face down in the pillow

Bm A G

With a note that said I'll love her til I die

D A

And when we buried him beneath the willow

G Bm

The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby

Bm G

La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la

Bm G

La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la

D G Bm

The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself

A D G A

For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath

Bm A D

She finally drank her pain away a little at a time

Bm A D

But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind

Until the night...

Chorus 2:

D G A

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger

Bm A G

And finally drank away his memory

D A

Life is short but this time it was bigger

Bm A G

Than the strength she had to get up off her knees

D A

We found her with her face down in the pillow

Bm A G

Clinging to his picture for dear life

D A

We laid her next to him beneath the willow

G Bm

While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby

Bm G Bm G

La la la la la la la, La la la la la la la

REPEAT till you feel like quitting (Hammer on only to begin the song)

I leave my ring finger planted on the B string throughout the opening and

slide where required. Finger-picking this works the best for me, but play

it however you feel comfortable

The basic chords are: D, A, and G

Listen to the song and play along to get a feel for the timing.

I finger pick the verses and strum the chorus and break

This song appears here several times but I have not found the opening tab'd

correctly so I thought I would submit this.

I feel that this is dead on... however feel free to e-mail me with any

corrections you feel are necessary.

To Ramona – Bob Dylan

Note: These are the basic chords of the song. Strum these and you'll be fine. There

however moving notes within the chords, for example there is a 0--2--3 movement on the 4th

shortly after hiting the G chords, and sometimes the 3rd fret of the 4th string will get

while playing a C chord. Listen for those little things if you want to be exact.

C G

Ramona come closer shut softly your watery eyes.

The pangs of your sadness will pass as your senses will rise.

F G

The flowers of the city though breathlike, get deathlike sometimes.

But aint no use in tryin’ to deal with the dyin’

Though I cannot explain that in lines.

Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss, as to be by the strength of your skin.

Your magnetic movements still capture the minutes I’m in.

But it grieves my heart love to see you trying to be a part of a world that just don’t exist.

It’s all just a dream babe, a vacuum a scheme babe.

That sucks you into feeling like this.

I can see that your head has been twisted and fed with worthless foam from the mouth.

I can tell you are torn between staying and returning on back to the south.

You’ve been fooled into thinking that the finishing end is at hand.

Yet there’s no one to beat you, no one to defeat you.

‘Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad.

I’ve heard you say many times that your better than no one and no one is better than you.

If you really believe that you know you have nothing to win and nothing to lose.

From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem.

That hype you and type you makin’ you feel

That you gotta be just like them.

I’d forever talk to you but soon my words would turn into a meaningless ring.

For deep in my heart I know there’s no help I can bring.

Everything passes, everything changes, just do what you think you should do.

And someday maybe, who knows baby.

I’ll come and be crying to you.

St. James Infirmary

Traditional blues

Dm A7 Dm

I went down to St. James Infirmary.

Gm A7

I saw my Sweeheart there.

Dm A7 Dm

Lying on a table,

A7 Dm

So cold, so white, so fair.

A7 Dm

I went up to see the doctor.

Gm A7

``She's very low'' he said.

Dm A7 Dm

I went back to see my baby

A7 Dm

And great God she was lying there dead

I went down to old Joe's bar room.

Down on the corner by the square.

They were serving drinks as usual

And the usual crowd was there.

On my left stood Joe MacKennedy.

His eyes were bloodshot red.

He turned to the crowd around him

And these were the words he said.

Let her go. Let her go, God bless her.

Where ever she may be.

She may search this wide world over

But she'll never find another man like me.

When I die please bury me

In a high top stetson hat.

Put a gold piece on my watch chain,

So the boys will know I died standing pat.

Get six gambelers to carry my coffin.

Six chorus girls to sing my song.

Put a jazz band on my tail gate

To raise hell as we roll along.

This is the end of my story

So let's have another round of booze.

And if anyone should ask you just tell them

I've got the St. James Infirmary blues.

D D/C# D/B D/A

Letting loose around the world

G F#

But the call of home is loud

Bm A Bm A Bm A

Still as loud

I've seen the Paris lights from high upon Montmartre

And felt the silence hanging low in No Man's Land

And though those Spanish nights were fine

It wasn't only from the wine

It still seems all in hand

And I'm far, far away, &c...

I've seen the yellow lights go down the Mississippi

The Grand Bahama Island stories carry on

And though those aligator smiles

Stay in your memory for a while

There still seems more to come

And I'm far, far away &c...

(twice!)

Sunny Afternoon

The Taxman's taken all my dough and left me in my stately home

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

And I can't sail my yacht, he's taken everything I've got

All I've got's this sunny afternoon

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze -

I've got a big fat momma trying to squeeze me

And I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In summertime, in summertime, in summertime

My girlfriend's gone off with my car and gone back to her ma and pa

Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty

Now I'm sitting here, sipping at my ice-cold beer

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

Help me ,help me, help me sail away

You give me two good reason why I ought to stay

'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury

Lazing on a sunny afternoon

In summertime, in summetime, in summertime

Em G D A

Em G

Ever since the days of old

D A

Men would search for wealth untold

Em G

They'd dig for silver and for gold

D A

And leave the empty holes;

Em G

And way down south in the Everglades

D A

Where the black water rolls and the saw grass sways

Em G

The eagles fly and the otters play

D A

In the land of the Seminole;

| Em G

|So blow, blow Seminole wind

|D A

|Blow like you're never gonna blow again;

|Em G

| I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

| D A

|But I don't know who you are;

| Em G

|And blow, blow from the Okeechobee

|D A

|All the way up to Micanopy (pronounced: Meh-can-o-pee)

|Em G

|Blow across the home of the Seminole

| D A

|The aligator and the gar

Em G D A

Progress came and took its toll

And in the name of flood control

They made their plans and they drained the land

Now the Glades are goin' dry

And the last time I walked in the swamp

I stood up on a cypruss stump

I listened close and I heard the ghost

Of Oseola cry

| Em G

|So blow, blow Seminole wind

|D A

|Blow like you're never gonna blow again;

|Em G

| I'm callin' to you like a long-lost friend

|But I don't know who you are;

Dm C F

I once knew two sisters whose name it was Christmas

Dm C F

And one was named Dawn of course, the other one was named Eve

Dm C F

I wonder if they grew up hating the season

Of the good will that lasts ‘til the feast of St. Stephen

F C F

For that is the time to eat, drink, and be merry

C F C F

'Til the beer is all spilled and the whiskey has flowed

F C F

And the whole family tree you neglected to bury

C F C Dm

Are feeding their faces until they explode

Chorus:

Dm C F C

There'll be laughter and tears over tia marias

F C

Washed down with that drink made from girders

Dm C Dm C

‘Cause it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath

Dm C Dm F

And it's nice for the kids, as you finally get rid of them

Bb C F

In the St. Stephen's Day murders

Uncle is garglin' a heart-breaking air

While the babe in his arms pulls out all that remains of his hair

And we're not drunk enough yet to dare criticize

The great big kipper tie he's about to baptize

His gin-flavoured whiskers and kisses of sherry

His best crimble shirt slung out over the shop

While the lights from the Christmas tree blow up the telly

His face closes in like an old cold pork chop

Chorus

Dm C F C

And the carcass of the beast left over from the feast

F C

May still be found haunting the kitchen

Dm C Dm C

And there's life in it yet, we may live to regret

F C

When the ones that we poisoned stop twitchin'

Chorus

There's a full moon up and rising and there's a whisper of a breeze
Blowing through the tangled silver hanging from the cuprss trees
There's a river made of moonlight flowing clear across the lake
And there's a million stars just waitin' to fall for any wish we make

Darling tonight I am reminded how much these two hearts need romance
You know it isn't all that often we get this kind of chance
Why don't we get caught in this moment be victims of sweet circumstance
Tonight I feel like all creation is asking us to dance

There'll be time enough tomorrow to get back to our daily bread
But there's something bout this evening that put this notion in my head
That heaven and the earth are meeting tonight upon this very spot
And all the things on earth worth having are things that we've already got

Darling tonight I am reminded...
Why don't we get caught in this moment...

There's a full moon up and rising and there's a whisper of a breeze

G C D

Blowing through the tangled silver hanging from the cypress trees

G C

There's a river made of moonlight flowing clear across the lake

D G

And there's a million stars just waiting to fall for any wish we make

G C

Darlin' tonight I am reminded how much these two hearts need romance

D G

You know it isn't all that often we get this kind of chance

G C

Why don't we get caught in this moment be victims of sweet circumstance

D G

Tonight I feel like all creation is asking us to dance

There'll be time enough tomorrow to get back to our daily bread

But there's something 'bout this evening that's put this notion in my head

That heaven and the earth are meeting tonight upon this very spot

And all the things on earth worth having are things that we've already got

Chorus

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)

Dm Am

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

Dm Am

For trying to change the system from within

Dm Am

I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Dm Am

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

Dm Am

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

Dm Am

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

C G F

I'd really like to live beside you, baby

C Am

I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

C Am

But you see that line there moving through the station

G F E Am

I told you I told you I told you I was one of those

Dm Am

You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win

Dm Am

You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline

Dm Am

How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Dm Am

I don't like your fashion business, mister

Dm Am

I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

Dm Am

I don't like what happened to your sister

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)

Dm Am

And I thank you for those items that you sent me

Dm Am

The monkey end the plywood violin

Dm Am

I practiced every night and now I'm ready

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Dm Am

Remember me, I used to live for music

Dm Am

Remember me, I brought your groceries in

Dm Am

It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

G F E Am

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

This version is more loyal to the cover of this song performed by a country

singer on the "Tower of Song" album. There's a chorus section in the original I

can't figure out, and I'm pretty certain it's out of key, but it sounds ok like this.

Verse:

G C G

I loved you for a long long time I know this love is real

G C G

It don't matter how it all went wrong that don't change the way I feel

G B7 C G

And I don't believe that time is gonna heal this wound that I'm speaking of

G D C G

There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love

Verse

Chorus:

Em B C G

There ain't no cure for love, there ain't no cure for love

C D7

No pill no drug, ain't nothin pure enough

Em B C G

I can't get nothin done, I can't be with anyone

G D C G

There ain't no cure, there ain't no cure, there ain't no cure for love

I'm a-going down this old dusty road
I'm a-going down this old dusty road
O Lord God
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

I'm a-going where the dust storms never blow
I'm a-going where the dust storms never blow
O Lord God
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

My children need three square meals a day
My children need three square meals a day
O Lord God
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

I'm a-looking for a job and honest pay
I'm a-looking for a job and honest pay
O Lord God
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

Riding on the City of New Orleans,

Am F C G7

Illinois Central Monday morning rail

C G C

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,

F G C

Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.

All along the southbound odyssey

The train pulls out at Kankakee

C D

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.

Passin' trains that have no names,

Freight yards full of old black men

F G7 C

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

CHORUS:

F G C

Singing: Good morning America how are you?

Am F C

Don't you know me I'm your native son,

G7 C G C

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,

F G7 C

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Riding on the City of New Orleans,

Illinois Central Monday morning rail

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,

Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.

All along the southbound odyssey

The train pulls out at Kankakee

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields.

Passin' trains that have no names,

Freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

CHORUS:

Good morning America how are you?

Don't you know me I'm your native son,

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Dealin' card games with the old men in the club car.

Penny a point ain't no one keepin' score.

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

Feel the wheels rumblin' 'neath the floor.

And the sons of pullman porters

And the sons of engineers

Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel.

Mothers with their babes asleep,

Are rockin' to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

CHORUS

Nighttime on The City of New Orleans,

Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.

Half way home, we'll be there by morning

Through the Mississippi darkness

Rolling down to the sea.

And all the towns and people seem

To fade into a bad dream

And the steel rails still ain't heard the news.

The conductor sings his song again,

The passengers will please refrain

This train's got the disappearing railroad blues.

Good night, America, how are you?

Don't you know me I'm your native son,

I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans,

I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

somewhere between heaven and earth

Everybody's Messing with Fire

Well there’s some high and mighty people

In this big judgemental world

They got morals, to which they must aspire

But these high, mighty people

They find it so distressin’

That everybody’s messin’ with fire

Well you told me lotsa stories

You said, “Look, but do not touch.”

Well, babe we all do things we don’t admire

So don’t sit there and plead with me

Just hush your mouth, take heed of me

Cos everybody’s messin’ with fire

It’s the same kinda hunger, but I guess it’s hard to name

But you’ll know when you start dancing to it’s tune

And it’s true there’s always something, somewhere

Waitin’ to burst into flames

Mrs Holier-Than-Thou, look who’s got the matches now!

See how the people

Are carrying secret dreams

Look at all those hearts out there for hire

Well, look at all those creeping hands

That never learned their lesson

Cos everybody’s messin’ with fire (Haaaaa!)

You know those history books have told us

That since this world began

Oh-so-many fingers have been burned

So who are you to tell me how

To live my life right here and now

Take a good look down this list, baby we’re all arsonists!

They called me Satan’s other child and said I’d burn in hell

But sugarplum I know you’re just a liar

Cos God gave me his blessin’

To keep you people guessin’

But everybody’s messin’ with fire

Cos everybody’s messin’ with fire

Oooh, everybody’s messin’ with fire
