That old dust storm killed my baby,
G
But it can't kill me, Lord
C
And it can't kill me.
That old dust storm killed my family,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
That old landlord got my homestead,
But he can't get me, Lord,
And he can't get me.
That old dry spell killed my crop, boys,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
That old tractor got my home, boys,
But it can't get me, Lord
And it can't get me.
That old tractor run my house down,
But it can't get me down,
And it can't get me.
That old pawn shop got my furniture,
But it can't get me, Lord,
And it can't get me.
That old highway's got my relatives,
But it can't get me, Lord,
And it can't get me.
That old dust might kill my wheat, boys,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.
I have weathered a-many a dust storm,
But it can't get me, boys,
And it can't kill me.
That old dust storm, well, it blowed my barn down,
But it can't blow me down,
And it can't blow me down.
That old wind might blow this world down,
But it can't blow me down,
It can't kill me.
That old dust storm's killed my baby,
But it can't kill me, Lord
And it can't kill me.

Black Water
ARTIST: The Doobie Brothers
TITLE: Black Water
Lyrics and Chords
Well, I built me a raft
And she's ready for floatin'
Old Mississippi, she's calling my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel pumpin'
Black water keep rollin' on past just the same
/ Am7 D / :
{Refrain}
Oh black water, keep on rolling
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shining on me
{Repeat first two lines twice more}
Yeah, keep on shining your light
Gonna make everything, pretty mama
Gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries
Cause I ain't in no hurry at all
/ G - / Bb - / : / A Em7 / : / D Am7 / / A Em7 /
Well if it rains I don't care
Don't make no difference to me
Just take that streetcar that's goin' uptown
Yeah, I like to hear some funky Dixieland
And dance some honky tonk
And I be buyin' everybody drinks all 'round
{Refrain}
I like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, hand
Take me by the hand, pretty mama
Come and dance with your daddy all night long
I like to hear some funky Dixieland
Pretty mama come and take me by the hand
By the hand, hand
I want to honky tonk
Take me by the hand, pretty mama
Honky tonk, honky tonk
Come on and dance with your daddy all night long
With you all night long
{Repeat to fade}

South Australia
In South Australia I was born
Heave away. Haul away!
South Australia round Cape Horn
And we're bound for South Australia
Haul away you rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear me sing
And we're bound for South Australia
As I walked out one morning fair..
It's there I met Miss Nancy Blair..
There ain't but one thing that grieves my mind
It's to leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
I shook her up I shook her down
I shook her round and round and round
And as you wollop round Cape Horn
You'll wish that you had never been born
I wish I was on Australia's strand
With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
In South Australia my native land
Full of rocks, and fleas, and thieves, and sand
I'll tell you the truth and I'll tell you no lie;
If I don't love that girl I hope I may die.
And now I'm bound for a foreign strand,
With a bottle of whisky in my hand.
I'll drink a glass to the foreign shore
And one to the girl that I adore.
Heave away. Haul away!
South Australia round Cape Horn
And we're bound for South Australia
Haul away you rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear me sing
And we're bound for South Australia
As I walked out one morning fair..
It's there I met Miss Nancy Blair..
There ain't but one thing that grieves my mind
It's to leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
I shook her up I shook her down
I shook her round and round and round
And as you wollop round Cape Horn
You'll wish that you had never been born
I wish I was on Australia's strand
With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
In South Australia my native land
Full of rocks, and fleas, and thieves, and sand
I'll tell you the truth and I'll tell you no lie;
If I don't love that girl I hope I may die.
And now I'm bound for a foreign strand,
With a bottle of whisky in my hand.
I'll drink a glass to the foreign shore
And one to the girl that I adore.

stolen car beth orton
Bm
You walked into my house last night
D
I couldn't help but notice
A E
A light that was long gone out still burning strong
Bm
You were sitting
D
Your fingers like fuses
A E
Your eyes were cinnamon
Chorus
You said you stand with every known abuse that is happening to you
AND, I should so know better by now,
I guess I'm starting to
Bm
One drink too many
And a joke gone too far
I see a face drive a stolen car
E
Gets harder to hide
When you're hitching a ride
Harder to hide what you really saw
AND I lost the line between right and wrong
I just want to find the place where I belong
Where I belong
Where I belong
When every line speaks the language of love
It never held the meaning I was thinking of
oh I lost the line between right and wrong
I just want to find the place where I belong
Bm
One drink too many
And a joke gone too far
I see a face drive a stolen car
E
Gets harder to hide
When you're hitching a ride
Harder to hide what you really saw

Oh I lost the line (3X)
Between right and wrong
I just want to find the place where I belong
where I belong(3X)

Peace bone
E A E
A Peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
E A E
Well I've been jumpin in all over, but my views are slowly shrinking
E A E
I was a jugular vein in a juggler’s girl
E A E
I was supposedly leaking the most interesting colors
B E
While half of my fingers
A E
are dipped in the sand
B E A
You're progress in letters but you're used to cooking broccoli
B E A E
The other side of takeout is mildew on rice
A E B E
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
A E B E
Just a few things are related to the "old times"
A E B E
Then we did believe in magic and we did die
A E B E
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
B E
you're just an inside
B E
adjust your in sides
B E
You're just an inside
(repeat verse and chorus progressions)
I bet the monster was a-happy when we made him a maze
Cause he don’t understand intentions a-he just looks at your face
And then the bubbles exploded and tickled the bath
And all the birds were very curious all the fish were at the surface
Well half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide
I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night
Cause an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die.
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your inside
Adjust your insides. You're just an inside.
Screaming part (3:05) goes something like this..
Strum each chord on each scream

friday I'm in love
D G D A/Bm G D A :
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...
I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday - heart attack
Thursday, never looking back

Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a sheik
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue

Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced, breathing out Listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell you
And that you'd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Look at your face like you're killed in a dream
And you think you've figured out everything
I think I know my geometry pretty damn well
You say what you need so you'll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I said and you know what I mean
But I can't still focus on anything
Oh, I've been ridin' them blind passengers, I thought you knowed.
I've been ridin' in fast wheelers, way down the road.
Blind passengers, flat wheelers, dead enders, kicking up cinders
An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Ooh, I've been workin' that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed.
I've been pourin' red hot slag way down the road.
I've been a-blastin' an' I've been firin' an' I've been pourin' the red hot iron
An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been walkin' that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed.
I've been hitchin' on the '66, way down the road.
Heavy load, a worried man, I'm a-lookin' for a woman that's a-hard to find
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed.
North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road.
Bunchin' that wheat an' stacking that hay, trying to make about a dollar a day
An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been locked in a hard rock jail, I thought you knowed.
I've been layin' out ninety days, way down the road.
The mean old judge he says to me, "That's a-ninety days for vagrancy."
An' I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed.
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', way down the road.
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'

Cheeks as red as a blooming rose, eyes the deepest brown/You are the darling of my heart stay till the sun goes down
Went to see my shady grove, she was standing in the door /Shoes and stocking in her hand bare little feet on the floor
Headed down south to the land of the pines

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, something's out there
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
/ D Em / G A / :
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
And every one a red balloon
It's all over, and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
What if we stop having a ball?
What if ths paint chips from the wall?
What if there's always cups in the sink?
What if I'm not what you think, think I am?
What if I fall further than you?
What if you dream of somebody new?
What if you lose yourself sometimes? Then I'll be the one to find you
Safe in my heart.
'Cause I am giving up on making passes and
I am giving up on half empty glassess and
I am giving up on greener grasses.
I am giving in.
If you miss the train I’m on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles (x4)
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Lord I’m 1, lord I’m 2, Lord I’m 3 lord I’m 4
Lord I’m 5 hundred miles away from home
Away from home (4x)
Lord I’m five hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
No, I cant go back home this-a-way
This-a-way (4x)
Lord I can’t go back home this-a-way
Once a jolly swagman camped near a billybong under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boil
You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me!
Chorus
Waltzing Matilda (2x)
You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me
(3rd line)
You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers, one ,two three
Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag
Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong
You’’ never catch me alive said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass through that billabong
There is a house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
Lord I know I'm one
My mother was a tailor
She sewed those new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, lord
who drinks down in new orleans
the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk
Is ramblin' from town to towngo tell my baby sister
Never do like I have done
to shun that house in new orleans
They call the risin' sun
Well, it's one foot on the platform
And the other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to new orleans
To wear that ball and chain
I'm a-goin' back to new orleans
My race is almost run
I'm goin' back to end my life
In the house of the rising sun
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade
I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.
We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave
We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)
We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.
Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced, breathing out Listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell you
And that you'd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Look at your face like you're killed in a dream
And you think you've figured out everything
I think I know my geometry pretty damn well
You say what you need so you'll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I said and you know what I mean
But I can't still focus on anything
Oh, I've been ridin' them blind passengers, I thought you knowed.
I've been ridin' in fast wheelers, way down the road.
Blind passengers, flat wheelers, dead enders, kicking up cinders
An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Ooh, I've been workin' that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed.
I've been pourin' red hot slag way down the road.
I've been a-blastin' an' I've been firin' an' I've been pourin' the red hot iron
An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been walkin' that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed.
I've been hitchin' on the '66, way down the road.
Heavy load, a worried man, I'm a-lookin' for a woman that's a-hard to find
I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed.
North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road.
Bunchin' that wheat an' stacking that hay, trying to make about a dollar a day
An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been locked in a hard rock jail, I thought you knowed.
I've been layin' out ninety days, way down the road.
The mean old judge he says to me, "That's a-ninety days for vagrancy."
An' I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lawd.
Oh, I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed.
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', way down the road.
I've been hittin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin'
An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd

Sleep walking
C Am Fm G C Am Fm G
I fell in love and
I needed a roadmap
To find out where you lived
So excited now
Sleepwalking, cuz I'm sleepwalking
The white trash boys
Listen to the headphones
Blasting white noise
In the convenience store parking lot
I hung around there
Wasting my time
Hoping you'll stop by
Cuz I'm sleepwalking, I'm sleepwalking
A mutual friend's parents
Left town for a week
So we raided their liquor stash
And walked down to the riverside
Sleepwalking, cuz I'm sleepwalking
I fell in love and
I needed a roadmap
To find out where you lived
So excited now
Sleepwalking, cuz I'm sleepwalking
The white trash boys
Listen to the headphones
Blasting white noise
In the convenience store parking lot
I hung around there
Wasting my time
Hoping you'll stop by
Cuz I'm sleepwalking, I'm sleepwalking
A mutual friend's parents
Left town for a week
So we raided their liquor stash
And walked down to the riverside
Sleepwalking, cuz I'm sleepwalking

shady grove
Shady Grove
Traditional
the chords in () are optional to "spice up" the melody if the continual Dm gets boring to you
play in a 2/4 upbeat rhythm, remember this is a dancin' tune
Intro: Dm
Dm (C)
Peaches in the summertime,
Dm (C) Dm
Apples in the fall,
C
If I can't get the girl I love,
Am Dm
Won't have none at all.
Chorus:
Dm (C)
Shady grove, my true love,
Dm (C) Dm
Shady grove, I know,
C
Shady grove, my true love,
Am Dm
I'm bound for the shady grove.
Once I was a little boy,
Playin' in the sand,
Now I am a great big boy,
I think myself a man,
Chorus
When I was a little boy,
I wanted a whittlin' knife;
Now I am a great big boy
And I want a little wife.
Chorus
Wish I had a banjo string,
Made of golden twine,
And every tune I'd pick on it
Is "I wish that girl were mine."
Chorus
Some come here to fiddle and dance,
Some come here to tarry,
Some come here to fiddle and dance,
I come here to marry.
Chorus
Every night when I go home,
My wife, I try to please her,
The more I try, the worse she gets,
Damned if I don't leave her.
Chorus 2:
Shady grove, my little love,
Shady grove, my darlin',
Shady grove, my little love,
I'm going back to Harlan.
Fly around, my blue-eyed girl,
Fly around, my daisy,
Fly around, my blue-eyed girl,
Nearly drive me crazy.
Chorus 2
The very next time I go that road
And it don't look so dark and grazy,
The very next time I come that road
I'll stop and see my daisy.

Hard traveling
Hallelujah, Im A Bum
- Lyrics & Chords
G
Why don't you work like other men do?
D7
How the hell can I work when there's no work to do?
Chorus :
G
Halle lujah, I'm a bum
D7
Hallelujah, bum a gain!
G
Halle lujah, give us a handout
D7 G
To re vive us again.
Oh, I love my boss, and my boss loves me,
And that is the reason that I'm so hungry.
Oh, springtime has come, and I'm just out of jail,
Without any money, and without any bail.
I went to a house, and I knocked on the door,
The lady said, "Run, bum, you've been here before."
I went to a house, and I asked for some bread;
A lady came out, said, "The baker is dead."
When springtime does come, oh, won't we have fun,
We'll throw up our jobs and we'll go on the bum.
If I was to work, and save all I earn,
I could buy me a bar and have money to burn.
I passed by a saloon, and heard someone snore,
And I found the bartender asleep on the floor.
I stayed there and drank till a copper came in,
And he put me asleep with a slap on the chin.
Next morning in court I was still in a haze
When the judge looked at me, he said, "Thirty days."
- Lyrics & Chords
G
Why don't you work like other men do?
D7
How the hell can I work when there's no work to do?
Chorus :
G
Halle lujah, I'm a bum
D7
Hallelujah, bum a gain!
G
Halle lujah, give us a handout
D7 G
To re vive us again.
Oh, I love my boss, and my boss loves me,
And that is the reason that I'm so hungry.
Oh, springtime has come, and I'm just out of jail,
Without any money, and without any bail.
I went to a house, and I knocked on the door,
The lady said, "Run, bum, you've been here before."
I went to a house, and I asked for some bread;
A lady came out, said, "The baker is dead."
When springtime does come, oh, won't we have fun,
We'll throw up our jobs and we'll go on the bum.
If I was to work, and save all I earn,
I could buy me a bar and have money to burn.
I passed by a saloon, and heard someone snore,
And I found the bartender asleep on the floor.
I stayed there and drank till a copper came in,
And he put me asleep with a slap on the chin.
Next morning in court I was still in a haze
When the judge looked at me, he said, "Thirty days."
Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, Im A Bum

Dramamine
A G E
Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced, breathing out Listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell you
And that you'd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Look at your face like you're killed in a dream
And you think you've figured out everything
I think I know my geometry pretty damn well
You say what you need so you'll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I said and you know what I mean
But I can't still focus on anything
Traveling, swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced, breathing out Listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell you

If you could just milk it for everything

stream of Whiskey
[D]Last night as I slept I[G] dreamed I met with[D] Behan
I[D] shook him by the hand and we[G] passed the time of[A] day
When[D] questioned on his views on the[G] crux of life's philoso[D]phies
He[D] had but these few clear and[G] simple words to [A]say
I am[D] going, I am going, Any which way the[G] wind may be[A] blowing
I am[D] going, I am going, Where streams of[G] whiskey are[A] flow[D]ing
I have cursed, bled and sworn, Jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me, but the rope always was slack
And now that I've a pile, I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet, but I'll leave there on my back
Oh the words that he spoke, seemed the wisest of philosophies
There's nothing ever gained by a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar and drink fifteen pints of beer
I am going,,,,

Standing on the corner with the lowdown blues
A great big hole in the bottom of my shoes
Honey let me be your salty dog

Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
Honey, let me be your salty dog
Oh there ain't but one thing grieves my mind
All the good looking women ain't none of them mine
Honey, let me be your salty dog
Said, the scaredest I ever was in my life
best friend caught me kissin' his wife
Honey let me be you’re salty dog
Says, God made woman, made 'em mighty funny
The lips 'round her mouth, just as sweet as any honey
I raise my dress up to my knees
Show my legs to who I please
'Cause I'm a salty dog
Sweet mama, salty dog
Oh you low down woman
Oh you low down woman
Let me be your low down salty dog

World at Large
G
Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
C
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Em
Walked away to another plan.
Cm
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
G C
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Em
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Cm
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
G
You don't know where and you don't know when.
C
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Em
Walk along to another day.
Cm
Work a little harder, work another way.
G
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
C
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Em
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Cm
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?
G
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
C
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
Em
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
Cm
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
G
The day's get longer and the nights smell green.
C
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.
G
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
C
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Em
Walked on off to another spot.
Cm
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.
G
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
C
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
G
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
C
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Em
Outside, water like air was great.
Cm
I didn't know what I had that day.
G
Walk a little farther to another plan.
C
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.
Em, Cm, G, Em
G
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.
C
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
C
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
Cm G
My thoughts were so loud.
Ice-age heat wave, can't complain.
C
If the world's at large, why should I remain?
Em
Walked away to another plan.
Cm
Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand.
G C
I move on to another day, to a whole new town with a whole new way.
Em
Went to the porch to have a thought.
Cm
Got to the door and again, I couldn't stop.
G
You don't know where and you don't know when.
C
But you still got your words and you got your friends.
Em
Walk along to another day.
Cm
Work a little harder, work another way.
G
Well uh-uh baby I ain't got no plan.
C
We'll float on maybe would you understand?
Em
Gonna float on maybe would you understand?
Cm
Well I'll float on maybe would you understand?
G
The days get shorter and the nights get cold.
C
I like the autumn but this place is getting old.
Em
I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast.
Cm
It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most.
G
The day's get longer and the nights smell green.
C
I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave.
G
I like songs about drifters - books about the same.
C
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Em
Walked on off to another spot.
Cm
I still haven't got anywhere that I want.
G
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
C
Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow?
G
The moths beat themselves to death against the lights.
C
Adding their breeze to the summer nights.
Em
Outside, water like air was great.
Cm
I didn't know what I had that day.
G
Walk a little farther to another plan.
C
You said that you did, but you didn't understand.
Em, Cm, G, Em
G
I know that starting over is not what life's all about.
C
But my thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
C
My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth.
Cm G
My thoughts were so loud.

Lyrics and Chords
[ Dm6 = ; Capo 2 ]
Do do do do...
/ Em - / C - / :
I am sitting in the morning
At the diner on the corner
I am waiting at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee
And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
He is looking out the window
At somebody coming in
/ G - / Dm7 - / Em - / B7 - /
Do do do do...
"It is always nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
She is shaking her umbrella
And I look the other way
As they are kissing their hellos
And I'm pretending not to see them
And instead I pour the milk
Do do do do...
I open up the paper
There's a story of an actor
Who had died while he was drinking
It was no one I had heard of
And I'm turning to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When I'm feeling someone watching me
And so I raise my head
Do do do do...
There's a woman on the outside
Looking inside, does she see me
No she does not really see me
'Cause she sees her own reflection
And I'm trying not to notice
That she's hitching up her skirt
And while she's straightening her stockings
Her hair has gotten wet
Do do do do...
Oh, this rain, it will continue
Through the morning as I'm listening
To the bells of the cathedral
I am thinking of your voice
Do do do do...
can't stop thinking of your voice...

Just like heaven
The Cure
Song: Just Like Heaven
Transcribe by: Paul N
This one of my most favorite songs and I hope you enjoy
A E
"Show me how you do that trick
Bmin D
The one that makes me scream" she said
A E
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
Bmin D
And threw her arms around my neck
A E
"Show me how you do it
Bmin D
And I promise you I promise that
A E
I'll run away with you
Bmin D
I'll run away with you"
A E Bmin D (2x)
A E
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Bmin D
I kissed her face and kissed her head
A E Bmin
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
D
To make her glow
A E Bmin
"Why are you so far away?" she said
D A E
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
Bmin D
That I'm in love with you"
F#m
You
G
Soft and only
F#m
You
G
Lost and lonely
F#m
You
G
Strange as angels
D
Dancing in the deepest oceans
E
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
A E Bmin D (2x)
A E
Daylight licked me into shape
Bmin D
I must have been asleep for days
A E
And moving lips to breathe her name
Bmin D
I opened up my eyes
A E
And found myself alone alone
Bmin D
Alone above a raging sea
A E
That stole the only girl I loved
Bmin D
And drowned her deep inside of me

Stolen Car-
Bm
You walked into my house last night
D
I couldn't help but notice
A E
A light that was long gone out still burning strong
Bm
You were sitting
D
Your fingers like fuses
A E
Your eyes were cinnamon
Pre-Chorus 1:
You said you stand for every known abuse
That was ever threatened to anyone but you
And why should I know better by now
When I'm old enough not to
Chorus 1:
While every line speaks the language of love
It never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I can't decide between right or wrong
I guess sometimes you need the place where you belong
Verse 2:
Some may sing the wrong verse to the wrong melody
It's little things like this that matter to me
Other feel that you should stand
For every known abuse to hand
And all the things that they could never see
Pre-Chorus 2:
You said you stood for every known abuse
That was promised to anyone like you
Don't you wish you knew better by now
When you're old enough not to
Chorus 2:
When every line speaks the language of love
And never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I can't decide over right or wrong
You left the feeling that I just do not belong
Do not belong, do not belong, do not belong
Bridge:
Bm
One drink too many
And a joke gone too far
I see a face drive a stolen car
E
Gets harder to hide
When you're hitching a ride
Harder to hide what you really saw
Pre-Chorus 3:
Oh yeah you stand for every know abuse
That I've ever seen my way through
Don't you wish you knew better by now
Well I think I'm starting to
Chorus 3:
When every line speaks the language of love
And never held the meaning I was thinking of
And I've lost the line between right or wrong
I just wanna find the place where I belong
(Cello solo)
Why should you know better by now
When you're old enough not to
I wish i knew better by now
When I'm old enough not to
(Cello solo)

99 Red Balloons!
ARTIST: Nena
TITLE: 99 Red Balloons
Lyrics and Chords
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, something's out there
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
/ D Em / G A / :
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
And every one a red balloon
It's all over, and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
