### Pretty Girl From Matthews
(G)Hold on a minute, it ain't (C)time to leave
(C)Tell me how you're feeling one more (G)time
(G)Four long years, and I just (C)can't believe
(C)That I'm still yours and you're still (G)mine
While I was gone, yes I, fell in love
Asked around and heard that you did too
Two drunken years, and push came to
shove I met love, love left me blue
(D)You're (C)rising like a (G)sun
(D)That pulled the (C)curtain on the (G)night
(D)Coming (C)through the (G)window
(D)To (C)brighten up my (G)life
And I'm all right, yeah, I think I'm fine
My savior lives in telephones
And I just dream of you, and step outside
Dial up and hope that you're at home
You're rising like a sun
That waits up all night
Coming through the window
To brighten up my life
Hold on a minute, yeah, I do love you
Sometimes I guess that ain't enough
When you come round you put me through
And I thank you, oh, so much
Another year, maybe, three or four
Maybe five or six, or even more
You'll find another man to take my place
And I'll see you on the good Lord's shores
You're rising like a sun
That pulled the curtain on the night
Coming through the window
To brighten up my life
### Jenny and the Summer Day

I know that you're afraid to swim
So I'll stay in the shallow end, baby, baby
The sun is hot, your touch is cool
And we are finally outta school, baby, baby
Well, I'm in love what can I say
(C)The sunlight burned my fear (D)away, (G)baby, (D)baby, (G)baaaby

Not far from the city lights

The day was hot, tonight is cool
And we are finally outta school, baby, baby
Well, I'm in love what can I say
With Jenny and the summer day, baby, baby, baaaby

### November Blue
(C)If I weren't (G)leaving, (Am)would (G)I (F)catch (G)you (C)dreamin' (Em7/B) (C)
And if I weren't gonna be gone now, could I take you home
And if I told you I loved you, would it change what you see
And if I was staying, would you stay with me
And if I had money, would it all look good
And if I had a job now, like a good man should
And if I came to you tomorrow, and said let's run away
Would you roll like the wind does, baby, would you stay
My heart is dancing, to a November tune
And I hope that you hear it, singing songs about you
And I sing songs of sorrow, because you're not around
See, babe, I'm gone tomorrow
Baby, follow me down
I don't know why I have to, but this man must move on
I love my time here, didn't know 'til I was gone
November shadows, shade November change
November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains
November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains
Your yellow hair is like the sunlight, however sweet it shines
Bit by the cold of December, I'm warm inside your smile
Oh lady, tell me I'm not leaving, you're everything I dreamed
I'm killing myself thinking, I've fallen like the leaves
I'm killing myself thinking, I've fallen like the leaves
### My Losing Bet
G Bm C D
G Bm C D G
I waited for you, a hard thing to do
Bm C D Bm C D
knowin' we're through, and I don't have to choose,
G Em Am D
to welcome you back or push you away
G Bm C D G Bm C D
but wait we're not there yet, and though I'm losing the bet
G
there's still the sunset
G A B
C G D G
I felt so surprise, when she arrived, wearing a smile,
C G D
smiles soon turn to tears, out on her back pier,
G
after all the love how how'd I end here.
oh lord oh lord...
### Beside the Yellow Line
D G
G C D
G C G C G C D
G
In time, won't be long
C
until we meet again, except we just be friends
G
my god yeah I know
C
that's just the way it goes out here on the road
D C G
beside the yellow line
'Bout five years ago,
I came about this way, but I doubt they'll know my face
The land hasn't changed
The stars still pierce the black, and I'm glad that I came back
Beside the yellow line
The mind of a girl,
It's hard to understand, but I guess 'cause I'm a man
Her heart fears are unknown,
Until I am gone, gotta leave her all alone
Beside the yellow line
And the call of the road,
Unlike the railroad tracks, unlike the airplane path
Her voice floats, through the land
and it takes me by the hand, so once again I stand
Beside the yellow line
### Old Wyom
A
Well I dreamed of how our life would be, oh yeah
E
Lovin' and a-kissin' 'neath an old oak tree, uh huh
Bm C### m D### m D
I'd be singing you a song that was twenty lines long
A E A
and catching sweet kisses you blow way out in Wyom
I work my day to come home to you, oh yeah
So you can do whatever you wanna do, uh huh
With your big brown eyes and your curly brown hair,
I'm doing the best I can do just to try to not stare
E D A
My God, your loveliness
Gotta feelin your man he won't like the news, oh no
Ain't gonna like it when he has to choose, oh no
With you could be one and never be apart (?)
I can feel it in my mind I can feel it in my soul in my heart
Bm D A
Oh baby please come around
Was that your man he's your fiancé, oh yeah
The one to tie the knot each and every day uh huh
I gotta get up the nerve to pick up the phone
It's you sweet mama I'm-a gonna carry you back home!
E D A
Way out to old Wyom
I prob'ly shoulda thought about lettin' you know, uh huh
If I love you like I do I shoulda told you so, uh huh
Well I think about you each and every day,
It's just my knees are gettin' weak when I try to say
Bm D A
Oh baby, please be mine
Gotta feelin' that I'm barkin' up and empty tree
How could someone so beautiful think about me?
Put my tail between my legs and turn my back
Try on my trusty ramblin' sack
E D A
I'm off to old Wyom
### Closing Night
No Capo
Intro(x1) - (C)(Am)(F)(G)
The (C)show was over (Am)it's all (G)in the (C)name
It (C)never was before (Am)but (G)this ain't the (C)same
So (C)try to (Am)imagine a (G)time and a (C)place
Where the (C)enemy (Am)won and the (F)he(G)ro was slain(C)
Repeat Intro (x1)
And poetic justice burns in the minds
Of five dying soldiers on the front lines
With nobody's singing in nobody's ears
No one's disappointed, nobody hears
I know a lady, promise her name
The price of her visit suffering and pain
And we gladly waited and we gladly paid
We watched the sun rise, she never came
An electric current moves us around
We sank to our knees to worship the sound
But nobody told us that we'd rise again
Imagine a hero unable to win
Imagine a hero unable to win
## A Carolina Jubilee
### The Traveling Song
Well I (E)guess if my daddy hadn't brought me up down a long dirt road in a pickup truck
well I'd (A)feel alright, in the city (E)lights
couldn't (B7)lead no city (A)life it just ain't (E)right
I was born out west in Cheyenne-town while my ma and pa was ramblin' around
I'm a rambler too, and I'm country bound
I will travel til my country home is found
I will (A)travel
I will (E)travel
(B7)I will travel til my (A)country home is (E)found
A country song on the radio, country song what do you know
he's a city boy singin country tune, i'm a country boy with those city blues
So I will travel
I will travel
I will travel til my country home is found
Well (A)Chestertown, (lets go), (E)somerville, (lets go), (B7)shelby (lets go)...(A)(E)(A)
I've got the wheels to ride and the wheels to run,
some say I've got ramblin' in my blood
no purtty girl can slow me down
I'm travelin' till my country home is found
So I will travel
I will travel
I will travel til my country home is found
### Love Like the Movies
So you (G)want to (D)be in (C)love (D)like the (G)movies?
But in the movies they're (D)not in (C)love at (G)all
With a (Em)twinkle in their (D)eyes
(B7)They're just sayin their (C)lines
So we (G)can't (D)be in (C)love (D)like the (G)movies
Now in the (B7)movies, they (C)make it look so (G)perfect
And in the background they're always playing the right song
And in the ending there's always a resolution
But real life is more than just (G)two (D)hours (C)long
Chorus
Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel
But I don't see one single solitary lie technician
Or one single camera in this moonlit field
I don't want to be in love like the movies
Cuz in the movies they're not in love at all
With a twinkle in their eyes
They're just saying their lines
So we can't be in love like the movies
### Sorry Man
Your (C)momma (G)doesn't (C)like me, she thinks I'm a (C)so (G)rry (F)man
when she tells her friends about me, she says I'm a sorry man
And she asks you each day, why would you stay with a sorry man
Well I was doin' my best, just to impress, still a sorry man
But (G)I've got (C)news for your (F)mom
I'm the (G)best she (C)ever (F)saw
(G)No one could (C)love her (F)daught (G)er like I (C)do
your momma told your father, she I'm a sorry man
so he told me not to ever, come back here again
so I told your dear old daddy, that he could not keep us apart
Because it's you and not your parents, who can break my heart
But I've got news for your parents, I'm the best she ever saw
no one could love your daughter like I do
Well I tried to tell your mother, but I did not want to fight
Will they be the same tomorrow, so we're leaving here tonight
Tomorrow they'll be waking, to a sad sorry dawn
And then they'll be sorry, when they see that your gone

And five miles to go on an interstate sign
(C)My (G)God (C)my (G)God (C)and (G)I
Don't (F)need a middle (C)man
Now I found God in a soft woman's hair
A long days work and a good sittin chair
The ups and downs on the treble clef lines
And five miles to go on an interstate sign
Now I don't doubt that the Good Book is true
But what's right for me may not be right for you
So church on Sunday I stand beside
For all the hurtin people with the fear in their eyes
And I thank the Lord for the country land
And just like Paul I thank Him for my hands
But I don't know if my soul is saved
Cause sometimes I use curse words when I pray

(C)I susp(D)ect it was your (G)friends
(C)Or was (D)it a (G)stra(G/F### )nger(Em)
(C)Convincing you that (D7)this was the (G)end (repeat intro)
And I would like to thank you
For coming round and doing this
My nights have been pretty painful
Losing that pain was always the trick
You always said that I was lying
That I was just a selfish man
But I all ready gave it all away
So you can let go of my selfish hand
So bye bye bye bye bye
I ain’t got time to watch you cry
Cause I’ve been drinking seven hours now
Sympathy is a waste of my high
And I would like to say it hurts me (but it don’t)
That I don’t know just what to do (but I do)
But it don’t hurt when you’re just killing time
I was killing time and I think that you knew

### Do You Love Him
Do you (G)love him, do you love him, do you love him my (D)dear
Does he hold you, does he hug you, does he keep you (G)near
as you lie together does he whisper in your (C)ear
Do you (G)love him, do you love him, do you (C)love him (D)my (G)dear
In the evening, those tired evenings, in twilights first glare
does he lay in your lap, do you play with your hair
and as he falls asleep, do you just stare
Do you love him, do you love him, do you love him my dear
Late in the night when you fear the unknown
Does he warm up your mind? As you chill to the bone
I do love you, I do feel you, Each day and night
But I can't tell right from wrong, or fear from insight
But you always knew everything and that is what is clear
Do you love him? Do you love him? Do you love him, my dear?

(G)Somebody get my shotgun, somebody get my (C)blade
(G)sally's been layin' with another man, he's (D)sleeping in my (G)place
somebody get my shotgun, gonna shot him sure as rain
you can run as fast as you want to boy, I'll kill you just the same
Somebody get my pocket blade, I'm gonna cut him don't you know
you can try to hide all you want to, there ain't nowhere to go
Somebody get my shotgun, somebody get my blade
sally's been layin' with another man, he's sleeping in my place
Now Sally don't go thinkin' that you got off so clean,
I'd kill you too if I had the nerve, but I just ain't that mean
So I go and get my murder tools, I throw them in the lake
gonna steal me an automobile and drive so far away
now I am a fugitive, I'm always on the run
Sally told the policeman, exactly what I'd done
I went and got my shotgun, went and got my blade
killed poor Sally's lover, and buried him in the grave.
Now all you ramblin' fellas, you listen close to me
That woman gonna bring you pain, your heart is gonna bleed
but it ain't worth the trouble, the sympathy or the grief
but a bleeding heart is better than the penitentiary
I killed Sally's love, one dark and dreary day
Sally got another and I got sent away
Somebody get my shotgun, somebody get my blade
Sally's been laying with another man and I sent him to the grave.

### My Last Song to Jenny
Capo II
(G)Oh tell me (D)please
That I don’t have to (Em)read
(G)Between the (C)lines
(G)Hey this is (D)me
And you don’t have to (Em)keep
(G)Something heavy on your (C)mind
(D)Did you (G)sleep
(D)Not a (G)wink
(Bm)Well (G)neither did (C)I
I've never been too good at reading in
Between the lines
So babe spell it out
But you don’t have to shout
When you’re talking to me
Do you care, Are you there
Well neither am I
Don’t lock your door
Everyone is poor
Between the lines
And I could never steal
The sadness that you feel
When you’re changing your mind
Oh my dear, Can you hear
Well neither can I
I wanna live and I want you to live
Happy and free
But I don’t how to separate the now
From what used to be
Will you sleep, not a wink
Well neither will I

Oh don't you (F)look at (G)me that (C)way
I would be (F)honest but (G)I don't know (C)how to (Am)say
I've been (F)lazy (G)with my (C)love
Can't you (F)give me a (G)chance to (C)make it (Am)up to (F)you? (G)
I'm always (F)chasing (G)some far off (C)dream
My lady I (F)know it's not (G)easy for (C)you to (Am)see
But I've (F)lied (G)to (C)myself
And your (F)loveli(G)ness no (C)it doesn't (Am)help
No your (F)beautiful (G)smile don't (C)help
(Am)My (G)dreams are (C)lies
(Am)That (G)I have (F)tried to (C)ignore
(Am)My (G)dreams fly (C)me
to a (F)place (G)near (C)Baltimore
And I love this moment we're in
Though we may not ever see this moment again
may you find all that you need
an easy way to forget about me
may you forget about me
And if we don't make it to the spring
May you catch the joy that a melody brings
from my dear brothers ragged six string
Singing the songs we're embarassed to sing
may you never be embarassed to sing
### Smoke in Our Lights
You're not a (G)girl, you're a (D)town
You're (C)snow on the (G)ground, you're my first year in (D)school and (C)oooo
You're the (G)words in a (D)song that Shannon (Am)Hoon sang to (C)me
And (G)all aro(D)und my (C)memories, you dance
You're not a (G)girl, you're a (D)car
You're a (C)red Trans (G)Am, you're 90 miles an (D)hour and (C)ooooo
We (G)never get (D)caught cause there's (Am)no cops (C)around
And (G)no roads like (D)this, (C)downtown
(D)Why'd we (C)have to (Bm)change, it (Am)all seemed so (D)fine
we'll (C)go our own (Bm)ways
We're (Am)both asking
(D)Why'd we (C)have to (Bm)change, it (Am)all seems so (D)fine
we'll (C)go our own (Bm)ways
We're (Am)both asking, (D)why
You're not a girl, you're the night of the homecoming game
You're the voice in my head, just begging me to stay
You're the smoke in our lights, as we sped away
To worship the sunlight on the graves
Thanks to Carmen for this great solo tab!

You're not a girl, you're a waltz
You're a canopy bed, you're June till August (and wooo)
You're the back and forth sway, of the hammock all day
When I asked you, what did you say
Why'd we have to change, it all seems so fine
we'll go our own ways
We're both asking
Why'd we have to change, it all seems so fine
we'll go our own ways
We're both asking, why
### Offering
(G)Babe I’m (C)lost
Cause I don’t know what to (G)say
Mmmmm, I (Em)love you
(D)Wanna make you my wife (G)someday
Don’t wanna steal you
Of a young woman’s life
To me its perfect
Just wanna do you right
I’ve known others
And I've loved others too
But I loved them cause they were stepping stones
On a staircase to you
Sometimes I act foolish
I don’t know what to do
Please babe try not to judge me
For my offering is true
And I dream of children
We can call our own
Watch em run around in the front yard
From the front porch of our home
To me its perfect
Just wanna do you right

### Swept Away (Sentimental Version)
Well (G)you send my life a (C)whirling
(C)darling when you're (G)twirling
on the (D)floor
Who cares about tomorrow
What more is tomorrow
than another day
When (Em)you (C)swept me (G)away
Yeah you swept me away
I see the end of the rainbow
but what more is a rainbow
than colors out of reach?
If you come down to my
window, and I climb out my
window, then we'll get out of
reach, and you swept me away
You said with such honest feeling
but what'd you really mean when
you said that I'm your man
Well how my darling can it be
when you have never seen me
and you never will again
that you swept me away
Life is ever changing
but I will always find
a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
and as we dance I know that
heaven can be found

...one more regular time through to finish first verse.
Then the second verse starts with "As the daylight sinks..."
The walkdowns through the second verse are pretty basic, i.e., "regular." You can throw in any
of the above variations to your liking.
After the second verse is this little break. Pretty close, but not perfect.

The part at the very end of the song is just the first half of the "little break" above...
Elegant and soft
Feminine as you ought
One with Earth and one with God
Won't you please forgive me
As the daylight sinks
As I fail to stop and think
Once I've cursed the things I've done
Won't you please forgive me
Young bride take my name
Burn the questions burn the shame
You don't have to live by them
Won't you please forgive them
Wont you please forgive (Em)them(Bm) (G)
Wont you please forgive (Em)them(Bm) (G)
Sleep well when the night time falls
wait til morning when I call
Don't believe the bad you saw
wont you please forgive them
tenderness and grace
how you've come to change this place
however dangerous or safe
I'll find within you
Banjo Tab:
Capo 2;
This tab is according to the crackerfarm video of scott playing it clawhammer style. I am not an expert on clawhammer, so I simply pick it in a pattern that sounds good to me, I will share that style with you, however the correct way to play it is in clawhammer as on the video. He mainly uses an Em shape and progresses it down and up the neck. Tune the 5th string up 2 steps to an A.
d-5----5--4-----4--2-----2--0-0h2-2---2----
b----0--------0--------0----0-0h1-1-1-------
g----0--------0--------0----0-0h0-0-0-------
d-5--5----4---4----2---2----0-0h2-2-2-------
g-------------------------------------------
This is the main portion of the song that he repeats over and over again with a few fills. Sometimes he does not play the g, and just stays on the Em until the C chord. When he gets to the c chord at the end, he does a few picking patterns with the 5th string, once again I don't know clawhammer too well, so I just pick in this order for variation, 2nd, 5th, 1st. The first bridge Plays like this after "won't you please forgive me".

b-------0--3--1-0---0---1-1-1-1--
g--0h2------------2-----0-0-0-0--
d--------------------- --2-2-2-2---
g-----------------------------------
After "won't you please forgive them, a few times, he starts to switch up the pattern, and start on the Em, it goes like this.
d-0h2--2------- 4-------5--------
b------0--------0------ 0-------
g------0--------0------ 0--------
d-0h2--2---2h4- 4--4h5-5-----------

Then finally the ending:
d----------------------------- 2-----
b------0-3-1---0-3h5-3-1-0--- 1------
g--0h2-------2----------------0-----
d----------------------------- 2------
g----------------------------------
The riffs are not spot on, and neither is the whole tab, but its a good starting point. Feel free to edit it. Enjoy.

I know that you're smiling baby, I don't even need to see your face
Sunset at the shoreline, we are laughing breaking up just like the waves
Are you feeling, feeling, feeling like I'm feeling like I'm
Floating floating up above that big blue ocean
Sand beneath our feet big blue sky above our heads no need to keep
(G)the stresses from our every day life (D)on our minds
(C)we have got to leave all that (G)behind

well, I have got a sister and she has got a baby, with brand new eyes
And her daddy is an engineer, and they just took her to the sea for the first time
Now they're under, under underneath a big umbrella
Summer summer summer time to help us forget nine to five
We have got to leave all that behind

(G)We can
(Em)walk dear the
(Am)pier is farther than it
(D)seems
Midnight at the shoreline, fireworks above us of screaming blue
They're sent from some teenager, and kid whoever you are, I am thanking you
Now we're dancing, dancing, dancing with no music
What is happening, happening, happening no feeling
Except this is right
We just have to leave all that behind
### Signs
(G)It's the place and your (Bm)friends that got me (G)down
Telling me I should (Bm)not hang (G)around
(D)There's a sign in the (C)window(G)
(D)Telling me I've got to (C)go(G)
(D)uh uh uh
(C)uh uh uh
(G)uh uh uh
I see the signs every day
In your face and in the way that you act
It's not that that hurts my pride
Now I see the other side of you
The side that won't let down the side that wont let go

Awake before sunrise
Wipe the sleep from my eyes
Coffee my best friend

Complete difficult assignments
Wonder where the time went
Out drinking with your friends
We see a lot of beauty
Some becomes ordinary
Mountains, and canyons, and prairies
Sunset over Chesapeake Bay
Dear, dear Carla
It's only that I'm askin'
Make time more easy for the passin'
If I knew I would see you again
Of all the beauty that I see
Out this window to the left of me
The thought of you it shines
The band plays on, I keep the time
The time is marked, between the lines
Hmmm... I keep the time

### Pretty Girl at the Airport
Capo II
Tabbed by Eric Schwartz
Guitar uses "Travis picking" style (you can google it for more info), picked mainly on the lower 4 strings.
For example, on G:
|1 Meas.|
| |
e|-------------------------------------|
A|---------0-------0-------0-------0---|
D|-----0-------0-------0-------0-------|
G|-------0-------0-------0-------0-----|
B|-------------------------------------|
E|---3-------3-------3-------3---------|
| |
|<--------- 4 Measures --------->|
For this song's tempo, each measure lasts about a second.
Chords and Picking
Only one measure of picking shown per chord. Notes in parenthesis are accent notes, occasionally replace the note below with the
accent note when you feel like it (you can hear it in the song).
G G* Am7 C* G/B C Cmin
e|--------(3)--|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
A|---------0---|---------0---|--------(0)--|-------------|-------------|---------1---|---------0---|
D|-----0-------|-----2-------|---------0---|---------0---|---------0---|-----0-------|-----0-------|

B|-------------|-------------|-------3-----|-------7-----|-------5-----|---3---------|---3---------|
E|---3---------|---3---------|---5---------|---8---------|---7---------|-------------|-------------|
Sorry for the odd notation, but these aren't the typical formations of some of these chords.
NOTE: The G* chord is just a variation on the G, exchange it for the regular G when you feel like it for a nice accent (you can also
hear it in the song, esp in the intro)
Verse 1 (Intro similar to Verse)
[NOTE: Each chord shown is one measure of picking]

### Pretty Girl from Cedar Lane
(G)I had a (B7)moment when I (C)thought I might be (D)wrong
But (G)Ashley (B7)how could it (C)be (D)
(G)I waited on the (B7)rooftop (C)all night (D)long
But (G)you weren't (B7)coming for (C)me (D)
(B7)And now I'm sitting here like a (C)mixed up little kid
(B7)You said you wanted me but (C)you never (D)did
(G)There was a (B7)moment when I (C)thought our love was (D)strong
(G)But now that (C)moment is (G)gone
I could stand right underneath the window of your room
Throwing rocks I've done it before
And I would love to find a reason
To dazzle you with lies
But I don't have the energy no more
And you never promise anything you didn't give
I assumed that you'd say yes but you never did
There was a moment my love for you was strong
But now that moment is gone
Now that moment is gone
(C)I saw you behind the camera whispering to your friends
And watching me (G)(C)(G)(C)(G)
(C)I fell in love with you there
Which proves the fool that I can often (G)be
(G)(C)(G)(C)(G)Oooooooooh-ooooooooh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (4x)
Woooooooooooooooooooooh
But I had a moment that I thought I might be right
But Ashley how could it be
I drank your share bourbon thinking you might come around
There ain't no one on the rooftop but me
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid
You said you wanted me but you never did
There was a moment my love for you was strong
But Ashley that moment is gone
(Yea) Ashley that moment is gone
Now that moment is gone

(G)I (Em)love you but I (B7)cant remember (C)why
(G)Stars (Em)fallen from a (B7)half forgotten (C)sky
I was a (G)one line (B7)wonder in my (Em)own love (C)song
I keep a little journal by my bed
Dreams help me find the words I haven't said
Like when a little girlie said goodbye to me
From (D)behind a (C)screen (G)door
I won't (D) see her (C)again, I'm (G)sure
(N.C.)Didn't I (G)say I (C)need (G)you?
I tried to (G)move (Am)on (F)but (C)I (G)can't
(N.C.)I tried to (G)think of (C)bad (G)times
Good memo(G)ries (Am)are (F)all (C)I (G)have.
(Em)(B7)(C)(G)(Em)(B7)(C)(G)(B7)(Em)(C)
I love you but I can't remember why
I'd love to find a reason to deny
I was a one-hit wonder in my own hometown
And I guess I might have made a few mistakes
But maybe that's exactly what it takes
To get a little happy in this big sad world
How many have you made
And which of those have you laid on down to die
Well didn't I say I need you
I tried to move on but I can't
I tried to think of bad times
Good memories are all I have
### The Day That Marvin Gaye Died
(G)(Am)(G)(D)
(G)I think I (Am)dreamed you
(C)again last (D)night
(G)I hope wher(Am)ever you are
(C)things turned out (D)right
(Bm)but its never (G)the same
(Bm)when you lose (G)and you gain
(C)I see the (D)truth now
(C)I see the (D)truth now
(C)I just want to (D)hold you
(C)I should have (D)told you
(C)We are in (D)love
We are in(G)
Your tan stomach; and that mole on your lip.
We coulda had it all in one time; if I didn't slip.
Trip on my words; and land on my heart.
I see the truth now
I see the truth now
I just want to hold you
I should have told you
We are in love
We are in ...
We are in ...
We are in ...

The road can be cold
and it's always long.
The sermon I whisper these days
are the words to a song
Are you in the old town?
Are you buckled in?
It's not the same
Our lives are not the same
I still want to hold you
I should have told you
We are in love
We are in ...
(Em)love is (Am)on its way
(C)the dying wish of Marvin Gaye(D)

### SSS
(G)I (C)never thought I'd (G)could (C)feel the way I (G)do
(C)When I'm in your (G)arms
(D)Ba da ba ba
Sing your melody to me
But if you want me to leave\ I'd walk away from this old farm
Ba da ba ba
(B7)Baby, baby, (C)there ain't no cows left for milking
(B7)Baby, baby, there (C)ain't no chickens laying nothing
(G)I'll walk on (C)anything for (G)you
I'll walk on anything for you
I'll walk off on anything for you
I'll walk off on anything for you
I was always told that I would find somebody
I could keep a promise for
Ba da ba ba
But it don't mean a thing
To a broken-hearted man
I felt that way before
Ba da ba ba
Baby, baby, I don't remember feeling that way
Baby, baby, and I owe it all to you
I'd take a nine to five for you
I'll take that nine to five for you
I'd take a nine to five for you
I'll work that nine to five for you
I'm convinced that's nothings true
Just cause love worked out for you
Don't impress me no more
Ba da ba ba
Words that don't mean a thing to me
I'm a broken-hearted man
I got dreams but nothing to hope for
Ba da ba ba
Lady, lady, keep your distance I mean no good
Lady, lady, I'm broken-hearted and I think the world should
All be broken-hearted too
All be broken-hearted too
All be broken-hearted too
You all should be broken-hearted too
I'd like to give all my pain to you
If I could I'd give all my pain to you
### Swept Away
Well (G)you send my life a (C)whirling
(C)darling when you're (G)twirling
on the (D)floor
Who cares about tomorrow
What more is tomorrow
than another day
When (Em)you (C)swept me (G)away
Yeah you swept me away
I see the end of the rainbow
but what more is a rainbow
than colors out of reach?
If you come down to my
window, and I climb out my
window, then we'll get out of
reach, and you swept me away
You said with such honest feeling
but what'd you really mean when
you said that I'm your man
Well how my darling can it be
when you have never seen me
and you never will again
that you swept me away
Life is ever changing
but I will always find
a constant and comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
and as we dance I know that
heaven can be found

### Salvation Song
(G)If you take my heart
(C)Don't leave the smallest part
(D)I've no need to live
If you're to come up (G)gone
As my life turns to a song
And if and when I treat you wrong
No I never want to hurt
Our family
I would give up everything
No this is not just about me
And I don't know a plainer way
To say it Babe
And they may pay us off in fame
Thought that is not why we came
And I know well and good
That won't heal our hearts
We came for (C)salvation
We came for (G)family
We came for (D)all that's good
That's how we'll (C)walk (G)away
We came to break the bad
We came to cheer the sad
We came to leave behind
The world a better way
Now if I'm walking through the rain
And I hear you call me name
I will break into a run
Without a pause
And if your love laughs at your dreams
It's not as bad as it seems
Either way
One of them has got to go
And if you take of my soul
You can still leave it whole
With the pieces of you own
You leave behind
We came for salvation
We came for family
We came for all that's good
That's how we'll walk away
We came to break the bad
We came to cheer the sad
We came to leave behind
The world a better way
I would give up everything
If you were to come up clean
And see you shine so bright
In a world of woe
And they may pay us off in fame
But that is not why we came
And if it compromises truth
Then we will go
We came for salvation
We came for family
We came for all that's good
That's how we'll walk away
We came to break the bad
We came to cheer the sad
We came to leave behind
The world a better way

Well I’ve been locking myself up in my house for sometime now
Reading and writing and reading and thinking
and searching for reasons and missing the seasons
The Autumn, the Spring, the Summer, the snow
The record will stop the record will go
Latches latched the windows down, the dog coming in the dog going out
Up with caffeine and down with the shot
Constantly worried about what I’ve got
Distracting my work but I can’t make a stop and my confidence on and my confidence off
And I sink to the bottom and rise to the top
and I think to myself that I do this a lot
World outside just goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes
and witness it all from the blinds of my windows

Now I can recall a time when we made the city streets our playground
swimming in the fountain filled with cigarettes and bottles
sped through Italian city streets of cobblestone
(G)because we had to
(C)because I loved you
(G)because the damned alcohol
because (D)whatever at (G)all
now I've grown to aware of my mortality to let go and froget about dying long enough to
drop the hammer down and let the indolence go wild and flying through

And when you learn of my return
Watch what the townspeople say
Riding in your cargo van
Driving your mom's cargo van
If you only knew how charming it was
The lure of your folks cargo van

Go tell Max

and they (F)come with torches on(Am)
yeah come on
Be loud let your colors show
Try to keep the madness low
I tell them no with my hand
Make them understand the plan of it
Bright and gone
And I'm (C)done (Am)forever
its (F)you and me (G)forever
Cause I'm (C)done (Am)forever
its (F)you and me (G)forever
Be loud let the others know
First a whisper then it grows
I tell them go with my hands
Make them understand the last of it
Yeah come on, pain and all
Leave out pack your things and go
Leave the baby makers home
There's a time (now) and a place (now)
Someone built to take the race
When it calls you go head down
Head down don't you make a sound
Keep your plans all to yourself
They'll come true they follow you
They're what you're obligated to
Don't you listen to nobody else
And I'm done forever
It's you and me forever
Cause I'm done forever
See it's you and me forever

(E)I was in love with your (A)beauty
from the (E)day you walked my (B7)way
oh how I (E)wish that was (A)enough to
have (E)made me (B7)want to (E)stay
see I'm as true as I try to be,
and I must say my girl
I tried the best to give to you
all of the truest in the world
but when I left your house that morning
in that ragged thunderbird
tried my best to fight the voices
from the devils that i heard
see there's a highway
to the right of us
I took it years ago
and since a year ago,
can't drive past,
without turning down that road
(G)and I (C)knew it,
I never should have turned the wheel
and I knew it,
the voices calling me weren't real
I knew it
listen to the ? man say
I knew I was wrong
so give me a try at describing
just how difficult it is
to kinda love two girls and figure out
which one you miss
to stumble away
from your staircase with your perfume on my clothes
I kinda loved two girls but now I kinda lost 'em both
repeat chorus
And if I could gather up the damage that I've rendered in my life
Put it on a scale and weigh against the damage done that night
Then it'd be safe to say the weight of all I did and didn't do
Would surly float against the lightest wrong I ever did to you
### Sixteen in July

(G)Nobody knows it but (Bm)I am so sad
(C)That is the (D)saddest of (G)all my girl
(C)That is the (D)saddest of (G)all
We climbed the ladder to the top of my house
Never letting go of your hand
The sky trades the moon for the sun my girl
The sky trades the moon for the sun
And I gave to you my ugly brown coat
You made it pretty when you put it on
Warmth in the early morning chill my girl
Warmth in the early April
Then you said you’d trade the love of a man
Tears fell soft from your face to my hands
Said you’d trade your heart for mine my girl
I traded my heart for those days
And you made it clear it was strictly a deal
Of springtime love and that’s how I should feel
So I set the clock back an hour my girl
I set the time a just right
You see somewhere back there when I was boy
Furious I had become by the point
That men are just liars and thieves of sorts
Men are just liars and thieves
But I still believe and I stand by my words
I don’t know what you have seen or you’ve heard
But somebody’s lying to you my girl
Somebody’s lying to you
You nearly made me believe I could stay
Armed with you actions in part what you said
But that was just foolish pride my girl
And those are only feelings inside
So I’m going back to the place where we met
I’m going to find the beer bottle we left
Wedged in the limbs of the tree that we sat in
Wedged in the magnolia tree
Well we hid for days like a proud pair of thieves
Too sure we were right too stubborn to leave
Wasted with the moment we lifted my girl
Stolen forever with you
### A Lover Like You
The capo should be placed at 2nd fret if you want to be in the correct key. Otherwise put it where it's easiest to sing for yourself.
(G)Do I need to tell you? I don't (Em)need to be untrue
(Am)Not when I have a (C)lover like you.
(G)(C)(G)(D)
Now it don't (G)take that much thought
Not with (Em)all the love you've got
and you (G)give it to me free
some might (Em)take that for granted
but certainly not me
no (Am)not when I have a (C)lover like you
Chorus
(Em)I haven't eyes (C)for anyone else
(Em)I'm thinking of you (C)and nobody else
(Em)I haven’t eyes for (C)anyone else but (Am)You.....(C)You....(D)...
She may be (G)all on my case
Want to (Em)kiss me on my face
Put my (G)hands on her waist
Take me (Em)back to her place
I would happily follow
but (Am)not when I have a (C)lover
Like (G)you.
Chorus
(Em)I haven't eyes (C)for anyone else
(Em)I'm thinking of you and (C)nobody else
(Em)I haven't eyes for (C)anyone else
but (Am)you......(D)
(G) (C) (G) (D) Repeat 'till end.
### Pretend Love

I have love for my family
I have love for my friends
That's as far as it goes and I must let you know
My love for you was pretend
Don't you know I've a gift, and I've wrapped it in truth,
your birthday's tomorrow, But the gift is not for you,
But if I came with a present, I would bring you a clue,
in hopes you'd finally see, that your feelings for me
will never be returned
### Matrimony
Capo II
(Em)(G)(Am)(Em)
Things didn't work out like they should
farther from how you thought they would
(C)Do you (D)still (G)want my (Em)hand (C)
(C)Do you (D)think I'm (G)still your (Em)man (C)
(C)I'll change (D)every(G)thing I (Em)can (C)
(Em)Matri(G)mony
Holy plans and holy gifts, holy shit what did we get?
You said you've got plans of your own, you're go to work while I stay home.
Do you still want my hand?
Do you still think I'm your man?
I'll change everything I can.
Matrimony ...
My dog is loud and my dog is wild, we're too young to have a child,
can you keep the dog next week?
I'll be gone for the next three.
Do you still want my hand?
Do you still think I'm your man?
I'll change everything I can.
Matrimony ..
I ain't through I ain't walking out, leaving ain't what I'm about,
you may scream and I may shout.
But baby I love you.
### The Lowering: A Sad Day in Greenville Town
Capo 7 (yes, seven)
(G)If I had known, your (Bm)heart was down
that (C)lonely day in (D)Greenville town,
(G)Then I would have been (Bm)more concerned
but (C)later on I (D)truly learned
how (G)it can feel in (Bm)every bone
to (C)really see you're (D)all alone
But (Em)I'll (C)kiss your (G)head,
when (Em)death (C)finds your (G)bed
and you are (C)gone
And if I had seen
the way it would be
I'd hushed your cries
when you came to me
If I could do what I did to you
the same to me then I would love for you to see
that I sleep with remorse
and regret hangs round my door
for ever more.
If I had known the lowering tide,
was lowering with the way you felt inside
if I had known all hope was gone
a broken heart and a broken home
That pierced, my lover's past
and carved a lonely path...
for her to walk
So if ever someone one says to you,
life isn't fair, get used to it
Then you should say 'Well it might be;
If folks like you would let it be'
but I’ll kiss your head
when death becomes my bed
and I am gone
### The Fall
well (G)bring me something new, that i (C)haven't felt (G)before
like messages of love and (D)directions to your door
but (G)please talk slowly, I don't (C)hear good anymore
and we (G)all (D)fall (C)down, yeah we (G)all (D)fall (G)down
Don't die on me lady, only good things can come
to those who practice reason, and recognize good fun
your absence is the bullet the past is your gun
and we all fall down
well, she doesn't answer, though she knows that shes done wrong,
we buried the memories, along with the songs,
when she wakes up, I hope that we are gone,
and we all fall down
there's a visitor in black at my neighbors house,
my neighbor says tomorrow the visitor says now,
when he comes here, please tell him that I'm out
and we all fall down
### Dancing Daze
(G)I've seen the (A7)way you deal with (D)things
(G)The trouble (A7)that this life will (D)bring
(G)If it gets to (A7)you then I can (D)tell by the way you (Bm)sing
(G)You act like it just (A7)doesn't mean a (D)thing
(G)I see you dancing all your, (A7)dancing all you, (D)dancing all your (Bm)daze
(G)maybe you can (A7)tell me how it (D)is you got that (Bm)way
(G)Dancing all you, (A7)dancing all your (D)dancing all your (Bm)daze
(G)come on come on there's (A7)got to be a (D)way
there's all these things that get me down
this dirty world is full of clowns
they pick you up just so they can knock you down
laugh at you while your there on the ground
Your dancing all your, dancing all you, dancing all your daze
maybe you can tell me how it is you got that way
Dancing all you, dancing all your dancing all your daze
come on come on there's got to be a way
I really like the way it feels, I look at you and Its real...
### Famous Flower of Manhattan
Capo II
(G)I found a flower in a field
A field of cars and people
Rows of concrete paint and steel
(C)Manhattan is where it (G)grew
And I thought, to cut it from its stem
And take it from the cracks
Between bricks that it lay in
And save it from city strife
Away from the city life
Then someone, they whispered in my ear
A county girl can’t be made out of anybody here
Don’t touch it, it loves you not
Don’t touch it, it loves you not
Cause blue birds, Don’t fly without their wings
And when we put them in a cage
The world can’t hear them sing
So selfish when greed sets in
Possession, the king of sin
And people don’t ever let you down
Forever find a way to kill whatever love they’ve found
A heart beat and I want it too
Manhattan is where she grew
So I left and I let the flower be
And yesterday saw the flower on cable TV
Much prettier than here with me
For all of the world to see
Much prettier than here with me

Well you hear this voice right now well that's pretty much all I am
I'm bailin on my life
Cause I'm wailing on my life
So please just gimme a kiss
In this last part, it sounds good if you hammer on a G on the high E string while playing the
second (F), during "wailing"?, like so

(G)November came and went like a (C)summer that I spent
(D)with a no name girl that walked in jelly (G)shoes
I returned to my home with a heart part made of stone
and I cried all night for a girl I never knew...
From the east it comes, her love and the rising sun
and I pray each time they come, it's not the last...
You see I've got strong, I made it through what comes along,
but I can't move on for the beauty of the past...
Came across a pretty girl, for about a month she was my world
and I held her hand, and swore we'd never part...
I moved on, she stayed behind, I said I'd call, she said she'd write...
we lost touch the moment I drove off...
I left town like a gambler with the sense to cash in all the chips
before I lost them all on a bad deal...
I made believe I was in a race drove ten thousand miles in seven days
while writing a book called "Being A Free Man"...
Met more people than the president, the good times came and the good times went,
and I learned how to ignore my hunger pangs...
I looked ahead to the open road, thought about the people and what they know
and wrote a book called "People Don't Know Nothing" (no matter what they tell ya)...
Once I spent my last dime, and counted the ratio of miles to time,
I looked up to my disdain and my surprise...
I had drive my car around the world, ended back in the town with the girl,
so I wrote a book called "Live in Prison (volume. 1)"...
I see that girl every now and then and we drink to having such good time friends
and apologize for the way it did not last...
Funny thing that its all true and I'll always love November Blue,
but I turned her down for the beauty of the past

### Shame
(G)Ok so I was wrong about
(Am)My reasons for us falling out
(D)Of love I want to fall back (G)in
(G)My life is different now I swear
(Am)I know now what it means to care
(D)about somebody other than (G)myself
I know the things I said to you
they were untender and untrue
I'd like to see those things undo
So if you could find it in your heart
to give a man a second start
I promise things wont end the same
(G)Shame
boatloads of (C)shame
day after (Am)day
more of the (D)same
(G)blame
please lift it (C)off
please take it (Am)off
please make it (D)stop
Ok so I have read the mail
The stories people often tell
About us that we never knew
But their existence will float away
Just like every word they say
And we will hold hands as they fade
Chorus
(C)I was so sure of everything(Bm)
My love for you so well received(Em)
And I just strutted ‘round your town(A)
Knowing I didn’t let you down(C)
The truth be known the truth be told(Bm)
My heart was always fairly cold(Em)
Posing to be as warm as yours(A)
My way of getting in your world(C)
But now I’m out and I’ve had time(Bm)
To look around and think and
(Am)See into another world that’s (D)filled with guilt and overwhelming (G)shame
Chours
And everyone they have a heart
And then they break and fall apart
Beneath somebody’s helping hand
I used to say just let ‘em fall
It wouldn’t bother me at all
I couldn’t help then now I can

I keep telling myself that it'll be fine
You can't make everybody happy all of the time
But I've found myself in a place that Ive never been
a place that I thought I would never be
There's people looking back at me
I keep having this dream
I'm at a party there's people throwing drinks and screaming
tellin me that I don't belong
Lately lifes been the same I find this comfortable place
with all my friends and then my friends start tellin me
I've always been wrong

There was a time I could move
There was a time I could breathe
through crowded places filled with angry faces that didn't once cross my mind
With paranoia on my heels
Would you love me still
when we awake and you find that the sanity is gone from my eyes
I got secrets from you you got secrets from me
Because your so worried bout what I'm gonna think
Baby I'm worried too
But if love is a game then girl your gonna win
I spend the rest of my life bringing victory in
If you want me to

(G)Show them all your (Emadd9)good parts
(Em var.)Leave town when the (G)bad ones start to show (C) (Cmaj7) (Cadd9) (C)
(G)Go and wed a (Emadd9)woman
A (Em var.)pretty girl (G)that you’ve never met (C) (Cmaj7) (Cadd9) (C)
Make (G)sure she knows you (Emadd9)love her well
But (Em var.)don’t make any (G)other promises (C) (Cmaj7) (Cadd9) (C)
(G)The weight of lies will (Am)bring you down

So (G)when you run make (Am)sure you run
To (C)something and not (D7)away from
Cause (G)lies don’t need an (Am)aeroplane to (D7)chase you anywhere
I once heard the worst thing
A man could do is draw a hungry crowd
Tell everyone his name in pride, and confidence
But leaving out his doubt
I’m not sure I bought those words
When I was young I knew most everything
These words have never met as much to anyone
As they now mean to me
The weight of lies will bring you down
And follow you to every town
Cause nothing happens here that doesn’t happen there
So when you run make sure you run
To something and not away from
Cause lies don’t need an aeroplane to chase you down

### The Ballad of Love and Hate
Capo III
(C)Love writes a letter and (G)sends it to (C)hate.
My (F)vacations ending. I'm coming home (C)late.
The (F)weather was (G)fine and the (C)ocean was (Am)great
and I (C)can't wait to (G)see you (F)again.
Hate reads the letter and throws it away.
"No one here cares if you go or you stay.
I barely even noticed that you were away.
I'll see you or I won't, whatever."
Love sings a song as she sails through the sky.
The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes.
And everyone knows it whenever she flies,
and also when she comes down.
Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street.
Every stranger and drifter he greets.
And shakes hands with every loner he meets
with a serious look on his face.
Love arrives safely with suitcase in tow.
Carrying with her the good things we know.
A reason to live and a reason to grow.
To trust. To hope. To care.
Hate sits alone on the hood of his car.
Without much regard to the moon or the stars.
Lazily killing the last of a jar
of the strongest stuff you can drink.
Love takes a taxi, a young man drives.
As soon as he sees her, hope fills his eyes.
But tears follow after, at the end of the ride,
cause he might never see her again.
Hate gets home lucky to still be alive.
He screams o'er the sidewalk and into the drive.
The clock in the kitchen says 2:55,
And the clock in the kitchen is slow.
Love has been waiting, patient and kind.
Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign,
That the one that she cares for, who's out of his mind,
Will make it back safe to her arms.
Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door.
Weary head hung, eyes to the floor.
He says "Love, I'm sorry", and she says, "What for?
I'm your and that's it, Whatever.
I should not have been gone for so long.
I'm yours and that's it, forever."
You're mine and that's it, forever.
### Salina
Capo I
(C)Salina, I’m as (F)nowhere as (G)I can (C)be
Could you (F)add some (G)somewhere to (C)me
Ah (Am)Kansas I’m (F)kneeling, ah (G)Kansas (C)please
Cleveland, I ain’t never felt nothing so strong
Been believing the words to my songs
Ohio I’m leaving, Ohio I’m gone
(F)From town to town and state to state
There’s people everywhere that try to (C)capture us
(F)We stole the cash and left our names
And almost slipped in Indiana(C)polis
The rain it (Am)fell, the story went (C)on
The rain it (Am)fell, and we got (C)gone (G)
Poughkeepsie, hang up the telephone
Won’t answer your phone calls no more
New York quit callin’, New York leave me be
Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on
I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone
Carolina one day I’ll, someday I’ll come home
Carolina one day I’ll, someday I’ll come home

But I can't go back
And I don't want to
'Cause all my mistakes
They brought me to you

(G)I would (G/F### )be (Em)sad because the (C)love I had (G)before.
(G)I meant what I said when I said (Em)I would settle down with you (C)although I know it's not
something that (D)you were asking me to do.
And I know we are young but we won't always be, so marry me; lets not be that predictable young
couple changing, moving on.
But I can tell by watching you that theres no chance of pushing through.
The odds are so against us; you know most young love it ends like this.
I would be sad because you left me all alone.
I would be sad because the lies that you had told.
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adore.
I would be sad for all the love I had before.
(G)I meant what I said when (Em)I said I would (C)rearrange my (D)plans and change for (G)you.
You know me; I've always been the kind with easy confidence.
Confident enough to honestly beleive that nothing out there stopping me especially not someone
who's not loving me.
Now listen here I told you I could live on with out loving you.
One different part--->
(C)I was bluffing then, but it seems that (D)just might have been the truth.
Well my dad told me, "One day son, this girl will think of what she's done and hurting you will be
the first of many more
regrets to come." And he said, "If she doesn't call, then it's her fault and it's her loss."
I say, "It's not that simple see, but then again it just may be."
I would be sad because you left me all alone.
I would be sad for the lies that you had told.
I would be sad because I got left by a girl that I adored.
I would be sad for all the love I had before.
I would be sad for all the love I had before.

(G### )‘Bout how I know you love me
And how I want to love you (D### )back(A### )(D### )
People, people, people, they make it sound so easy
They say just do what your heart tells you to
But sometimes you cannot feel it
Sometimes you cannot hear it
Sometimes it won’t talk back to you
And yeah I know you love me
And yeah I want to love you back
And how I know you love me
And how I want to love you bad
(G### )Far away I hear the rhythm of a (D### )song
(G### )Far away I get the feeling I (D### )belong, and so do (A### )you (A### )(A)(G### )

(G)Wipe the blood from you face and your (C)hands
(G)Forgive yourself if you think that you (C)can
(G)Go to sleep, (D)go to sleep my (C)man
Twenty-one days lost at sea I fought
For twenty-two years non-stop I've talked
Through the desert, pissed drunk, and confused I walked
I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
Well the wind and the trees are ganging up on me
They sing my funeral song in harmony
Well I just want to walk home on the drunk I need
But they keep singing and singing and singing to me...
La, La, La, La, La, La (I hear them singing)
La, La, La, La, La, La (Singing for me)
La, La, La, La, La, La (Oh!)
Well I wish things were different, true, and deep
But everything that's so shallow is everything about me
If only I could just take all my money and leave
I hope the people on the ground will understand
I hope the people out there will understand
Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man
Wipe the blood from you face and your hands
Forgive yourself if you think that you can
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
La, La
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man
La, La
Go to sleep, go to sleep my man

Each song that I sang all the notes were wrong and poorly played
Both my sleeves had holes, my knees were patched, my shoes needed soles
No clever disguise no way to hide my offensive tone
But I, I wish for you more than I can give, than I can do
Yeah you, you deserve the best an anthem not my hand-me-down tune
Yeah you, you deserve the best an anthem not my hand-me-down tune

(G)I've never (D)taken this (G)curve
(G)driving this (D)fast (G)before
(G)A glowing stop (D)sign but (Em)both lanes are (C)mine
no (G)seat belts (D)attached to my (G)door
Well my speed meter don't work
so I'm going to guess 95
maybe I'll fix it, and maybe I won't
It depends on my being alive
my bottle of bourbon is gone
It flew away all by itself
So if ever you find it, my photo behind it
In memory of me on your shelf
its been raining all day
and its been raining all night
A slip and slide highway
and I'm moving sideways
I'm loose but my steering wheel's tight
My '63 Ford is a bull
She's four thousand pounds at least
But metal surrenders when Oak trees meet fenders
and engines go through the front seat
I lost control in the curve
the gas line broke in the wreck
But I rose from the ashes with just a few scratches
my crucifix warm on my neck
Well the good Lord was with me tonight
Just riding beside me tonight
And now we're just talking
We're hitchhiking walking
We'll see you in Greenville tonight
And now we're just talking we're hitchhiking walking We'll see you in Greenville tonight
### Tales of Coming News
(G)I'm so tired of hearing (C)tales of coming news (G)
(Em)Telling tales of a (C) changing sky (G)
It's just a shame(C) I didn't notice you(G)
(Em)Till someone I (C) loved had to die (G)
What made us think that (C)this was so different(G)
(Em)Who is driving (C)behind those things you say(G)
Why do you insult (C)me and my friends (G)
(Em)Who are my (C) friends anyway (G)
I've spent my life (C)lying now I pay the price (G)
(Em)Are these really words of a (C)young man or a (G)worthless human life
I don't mean to scare (C) you with the things I say (G)
(Em) I take it back, yes (C) it's a beautiful day(G)
I watched you from the beach (C)when your ship sailed (G)
(Em)You made it clear (C) that nothing stays the same(G)
It's getting darker I (C)wonder if you can tell (G)
(Em)I wonder when did (C)all that change? (G)
You never used to let me go unfed
I was so distracted I never saw the rain
You promised you meant every word you said
I wonder when all that changed
It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words coming from somebody like you
I've been looking for so long that I've lost touch
With what's the best something to do
I've got a friend who makes good choices
Everybody likes the way that he sees things
I've got a problem and it walks me daily
Can't you see no one is proud of me
It's a long road alone and I'm not proving
Anything going by myself
When your love life is on and really moving
Oh sugar girl I really appreciate the help
I had my time with money gold and diamonds
Both went sour before they got to me
I'll be waiting girl but don't be counting hours
I'm not waiting for any of the three
I was just a peasant from the highlands
She said don't you call me your mountain girl
I said don't bother me I'm trying to write and
don't worry you ain't my mountain girl
I can call you but I'd probably make you cry
These days it's what you often times do
Call the preacher then go call your father
Tell them that the wedding plans have moved
I send a message saying I'll be gone forever
The letter of reply never came
She said that she'd be true but I wouldn't let her
I wonder when all that changed
Hell has no fury like a woman
Happy scorned or otherwise
You can do what you want to with your name
But you can bet I'm changing mine
Well I'd give a $100 to get a letter
If at the bottom it said I miss you bad
See but the truth of the matter is that back home no one really misses me
See how I talk when I'm sad
Since I was young I've known a lot of women...

Down so low I barely hear her
But I know what she's sayin'
I understand because my heart and hers are the same
And in January we're gettin' married
And I was sick with heartache
And she was sick like Audrey Hepburn when I met her
But we would both surrender
True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down
Don't ever turn it down
I hope that I don't sound to insane when I say
There is darkness all around us
I don't feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me
And reconnect me to the beauty that I'm missin'
And in January we're gettin' married
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in
She knows which birds are singin'
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin
And in January we're gettin' married
Come January let's get married
### Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise
There's a (G) darkness (D) upon me that's (C) flooded in (Em) light
In the (G) fine print, they (D) tell me what's (C) wrong and what's (Em) right
And it (G) comes in (D) black, and it (C) comes in (Em) white
And I'm (Em) frightened by (D) those who don't (C) see it
Where (G) nothing is (D) owed, (C) deserved or (Em) expected
And your (G) life doesn't (D) change by the (C) man that's (Em) elected
If you're (G) loved by (D) someone, you're (C) never re-(Em)-jected
De-(Em)-cide what to (D) be, and go (C) be it
There was a (G) dream that one (C) day I could (G) see it
Like a (C) bird in a (G) cage I broke (D) in and de-(C)-manded that (D) somebody (G) free it
And (C) there was a (G) kid with a (C) head full of (G) doubt
So I'll (C) scream till I (G) die or the (D) last of those (C) bad thoughts are (D) finally (G) out
There's a (G) darkness (D) upon you that's (C) flooded in (Em) light
in the (G) fine print, they (D) tell you what's (C) wrong and what's (Em) right
And it (G) flies by (D) day and it (C) flies by (Em) night
And I'm (Em) frightened by (D) those who don't (C) see it
There's a (G) darkness (D) upon me that's (C) flooded in (Em) light
In the (G) fine print, they (D) tell me what's (C) wrong and what's (Em) right

### And It Spread
Capo II
Intro, (preferably barred):
(Em)(C)(G)(D)
(C)(D7)(G)
(C)There was (D7)light in the (G)room
(C)Then you (D7)left and it was (G)through
Then the frost started in
My toes and fingertips
(B7)And it (C)spread
(B7)And it (C)spread
Into my (G)heart
And it spread
And it spread
Into my heart
Then for I don't know how long
I settled in to do it wrong
And as the wind fills the sail
Came the fog to hurt myself
And it spread
And it spread
Into my home
And it spread
And it spread
Into my song
(C)where (D)there (Em)are (C)no (G)lines
(D)sepa(Em)ra(C)ting (G)the (Bm7)truth from the (C)lies(D)(G)
Then you came back from space
With a brand new laugh
And a different face
You took my hand and held it up
And shot my arm full of love
And it spread
And it spread
Into the world
And it spread
And it spread
Into the world
Where there are no lines
Separating the truth from lies

### Ten Thousand Words
Guitar ### 1 – no capo - D, C, G
Guitar ### 2 – capo 5 - A, G, D
Intro D, C, G x4
Ten (D)thousand words swarm (C)round my head, Ten (G)million more in books written be(D)neath my bed. C G
I (D)wrote or read them (C)all when searching (G)in the swarm still can't find out how to (D)hold my hands. C G
And I (D)know ya need me (C)in the next room (G)over, but I am stuck in here all (D)paralyzed. C G
For (D)months I got my(C)self in ruts, too much (G)time spent in mirrors framed in (D)yellow walls. C G
(D)Ain't it like most (C)people, I'm no (G)different, we love to talk on things we don't (D)know about. C G x2
And everyone around me shakes their head in disbelief and says I'm too caught up.
They say young is good and old is fine and truth is cool, but all that matters is you had your good times.
But those good times come with prices and I can't believe it when I hear the jokes they make.
At anyone's expense except their own, would they laugh if they knew who paid?
(D)Ain't it like most (C)people, I'm no (G)different, we love to talk on things we don't (D)know about. C G x2
interlude
And after we are through, ten years in making it to be the most of glorious debuts.
I'll come back home without my things cause the clothes I wore out there I will not wear round you.
And they'll be quick to point out our shortcomings, and how the experts all have had their doubts.
(D)Ain't it like most (C)people, I'm no (G)different, we love to talk on things we don't (D)know about. C G x4

Teach me how to use the love that people say you make
Stop your parents car
I just saw a shooting star
We can wish upon it. We wont share the wish we made
But I cant keep no secrets I wish that you would always stay
Last night I dreamt the whole night long
I woke with a head full of songs
I spent the whole day
I wrote 'em down but its a shame
tonight I'll burn the lyrics
cause every chorus was your name
Break this tired old routine
And this time dont make me leave
I am a breathing time machine
I'll take you all for a ride

### Ill with Want
(INTRO)
Em D C (x3)
D
(G) I am sick with (C) wanting and it's (G) evil and it's (C)daunting
How I let everything I cherish lay to waste
I am lost in greed, this time it's definitely me
I point fingers but there's no one there to blame
(CHORUS)
(C) A need for (B7) something, (Em) now let me (D) break it down (C) again
A need for something but not more medicine
I am sick of wanting and it's evil how it's got me
And every day is worse than the one before
The more I have the more I think I'm almost where I need to be
If only I could get a little more
A need for something, now let me break it down again
A need for something but not more medicine
(BRIDGE)
(G) Something has me, oh (Em) something has me
Acting (C) like someone I (D) don't wanna (G) be
Something has me, oh (Em) something has me
Acting (C) like someone I (D) know isn't (G) me
Ill with (C) want and poisoned (D) by this ugly (G) greed
(play intro)
Temporary is my time, ain't nothing on this world that's mine
Except the will I found to carry on
Free is not your right to chose
It's answering what's asked of you
To give the love you find until it's gone
A need for something, now let me break it down again
A need for something but not more medicine
Something has me, oh something has me
Acting like someone I don't wanna be
Something has me, oh something has me
Acting like someone I know isn't me
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed
Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed

Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused
I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry
and I left the timbers where they lay
F Fm
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
C Am G
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
F
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
Fm C
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
Am G
well we're all in this together
F Fm
If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die
And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
and I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose
And if I ever pass back through here town I'll stay
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die
(First riff)
And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before my eyes
C F G C
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind
Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die

Can you not (C)see what you've (Em)done
you (F)gave your heart (G7)away I didn't (C)want to fall in (Em)love

I can still (C)hear the (Em)songs
the (F)melody (G7)behind the kiss you (C)gave me you were (Em)wrong
I was (F)right so I walked (G7)away
and let you dance alone
I got so tired of talking on the telephone
How many times would we say the words goodbye?
I've made mistakes
and one was telling you that I'd be there when summertime had come
I should have said I did not care
oh the time I would have saved
If I had been less willing to accomodate
you'd been a little less likely to cry
(Am)you go back to the (Em)high life
(Am)I'll go back to the (Em)low
I (F)shoulda known
but (G7)now I know
there'll be no words from you
describing how it felt to go through what I put you through
It all makes perfect sense
when you cut the rope that kept you dangling from such
pitiful amounts of hope
I would've cut it too

C C/B C/A G F G
I went on the search for something true
C C/B C/A G F G
I was almost there when I found you
C C/B C/A G

And beads of lust released into the air

When I awoke you were standing there

I was on the mend when I fell through
C C/B C/A G F G
The sky around was anything but blue

A wound across my memory

That no amount of stitches would repair

But I awoke and you were standing there

The light broke in and brought me to my feet
Break: C C/B C/A G F G

C G
Hard to believe I won't see you again
Am Em7
We were just fighting when winter began
F G C G
The coldness of our words competing with the wind from the north.
C G
Still they make me shiver but in a very different way
Am Em7
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
F G C G
I have some better words now but it's too late to say them to you.
My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
How much I love you and how much I always did.
And yes I know you loved me, I can see it in your eyes
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid
C Am G
Feels like no one understands
C Am G
And now my only chance
F G C Em7 Am
To talk to you is through my prayers.
F G C
I only wanted to tell you I cared
Every night after and every day since,
I found myself crying when the memory hit.
Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I just put it away.
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
If you have love in your heart let it show while you can
Yes now I understand
But now my only chance
To talk to you is through my prayers.
I only wanted to tell you I cared.
I only wanted to tell you I cared.
### Down With the Shine
Add a Capo anywhere you like!
(G)Down with the shine, the (Am)perfect shine
That (C)poisons the well and (D7)ruins my mind
I get (G)took for a ride (Am)every time
(C)Down with the (D7)glistening (G)shine
It's (G)in with the new, and (Am)out with the old
(C)Out goes the warm and (D7)in comes the cold
It's the (G)most predictable (Am)story told
(C)In with the young, (D7)out with the old(G)
Chorus
A bellyful of high-dollar wine
A fat hand, a fat wallet too
Things change and get strange with the movement of time
It's happening right now to you
It's a (D)real bad (D7)time to bring up the (G)truth
Though we (D)searched, we (D7)found no fountain of (G)youth
Not in (B7)Spain, nowhere (Em)near
Any(B7)where close to (C)here(D7)
Nothing's good, because nothing lasts
And all that comes here, comes here to pass
I would voice my pain, but the change wouldn't last
All that comes, it comes here to pass

We will (Am)watch the fire burn the whole en-(D)tire house we built down to (G)ashes (C) (G)
From the (Am)mirror we'll admire how the (D)flame quickly retires
We won't (Am)waste no long goodbyes on the (D)smoke or foolish lies that finally (G)passed us. (C) (G)
I was (Am)taught to keep an open-ended (D)life and never trap myself in (G)nothin'

and the (Am)part that kinda hurts is I (D)think it finally worked and now I'm (G)leaving (C) (G)
I get the (Am)feeling things have changed but the (D)mystery to me is where and (Am)when along the way did any (D)one decide that they (G)believed me (C) (G)

I can't (Am)stand the unexpected, un-in(D)vited if it's from too many (G)strangers (C) (G)
My (Am)trust has dwindled down and I can (D)leave just as abruptly as I (G)came here. (C) (G)

### Never Been Alive

### Another Is Waiting
It's a (G)fake, it's a (Em)hoax
It's a (Bm)nowhere road where (D)no one goes
(G)Anywhere, (Em)anyhow
Well you're (Bm)following your (D)heart rate (C)down
She's a rose, she's a queen
But she's staring at a magazine
In the dark, on that path
Where they doctor every photograph
(C)Another is (G)waiting
(C)She isn't (G)saying (D)anything(C)
If you care, if you like
Well, I'm standing in the lantern light
With our weapons and our love
And I use them both to cover up
[Chorus]
But I (Em)love you and I (Bm)care
So you've (C)got to get off that conveyor belt
If I (Em)could
I would (BM)come right in (C)and take you off (D)myself
It's a fake, it's a con
The nature of the road you're on
Let me see your skeleton
Well before your life is done
[Chorus x2]
