Verse 1: C#m Gdim Third-class ticket in his pocket D#m Adim Punching out the shadows underneath the sockets C#m G# C#m Tweed coat turned up against the fog ... Ddim Slow coaches rolling o'er the moor F#m G# Between the very memory and approaches of war

C#m
Verse 2:
C#m Gdim
Nobody wants to buy
D#m Adim
a counterfeited prairie lullaby
C#m G# C#m
In a colliery town
... Ddim
The hip flask and fumbled skein
F#m G#
Of some stage door Josephine is all he'll get now
Prechorus 2: C#m F#m Eyes going in and out of focus C#m F#m Mild and bitter from tuberculosis

Bridge: E Her soft breath was gentle on his neck ... C#m G# C#m If he could choose the time to die ... G# Then he would come and go like this C#m F#m C#m Underneath a painted sky E G#7/D# C#m She woke up and called him "Charlie" by mistake ... F#m C#m And then in shame began to cry E Tarnished silver band peels off a phrase G#7/D# And then warms their hands around the brazier
Chorus 3: C#m F#m Forgotten man, indifferent nation C#m F#m Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station C#m Gdim Somebody's calling you again D#m Adim It's finally dawning ... C#m F#m Jimmie's standing in the rain

C#m Gdim
Brilliantine glistening
D#m Adim
Your soft plaintive whistling
C#m G# C#m
And your wan wandering smile
Ddim
Died down at The Hippodrome
F#m
Now you're walking off to jeers,
E Fdim
the lonely sound of jingling spurs,
F#m B G#
The "toodle-oos" and "Oh, my dears" down at The Argyle
Prechorus 3: C#m F#m Vile vaudevillians applaud sobriety C#m F#m There's no place for a half-cut cowboy in polite society
Chorus 4: C#m F#m Forgotten man, indifferent nation C#m F#m Waiting on a platform at a Lancashire station C#m Gdim Somebody's calling you again D#m Adim It's finally dawning ...

Bullets For The New Born King Tom: C
C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
No one looks in this place for motive or any hope
G C F Dsus2
But for the dead shot of an amber glass, the blue light of a votive
C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
Rain obscured the window as the pain was dulled by the grains
G C F Dsus2
Absolved by spoons in flames and fear in time dissolving
G G/A G/B C C/B Am Am/G F
It's not for the faint of pulse or anybody false
Dsus2 G Gsus4 G
Those amateurs who simply she'd their skins
G G/A G/B C C/B Am Am/G F
Where are those traitors now, we once called patriots?
Dsus2 G Gsus4
Just like those saints who seem to revel in their sins
C B Bb A G
Oh, my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging
C B Bb A G
After our assassin's work was done
Am G F Em Dsus2
The bells and hands were only there for the wringing
F C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
And we were bringing bullets for the new-born king
C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
The trumpet sound lamenting, tramping down the blooms of the deceased
G C F Dsus2
The double agent girl and the fallen priest were heading for the border
C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
Somewhere in the high command, there stayed the palest hand
G C F Dsus2
That saw the order countermand, erased a tape recorder
F C
And then they hung him from a window cord
G G/A G/B C C/B Am Am/G F
Swallow down that voodoo vial and stay your breath a while
Dsus2 G Gsus4 G
Before we spill the tale that we have spun
G G/A G/B C C/B Am Am/G F
And now I shall confide all that I have denied
Dsus2 G Gsus4
Oh, I'm so sorry for the things I've done
C B Bb A G
Oh, my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging
C B Bb A G
After our assassin's work was done
Am G F Em Dsus2
The bells and hands were only there for the wringing
F C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dsus2
And we were bringing bullets for the new-born king
Peace In Our Time Tom: F Intro: F C A
Verse 1:
D
Out of the aeroplane stepped Chamberlain with a condemned man's stare
D D
But we all cheered wildly, a photograph was taken,
D7 G
as he waved a piece of paper in the air
Em Em/Eb Em7 A
Now the Disco Machine lives in Munich and we are all friends
A7 A
And I slip on my Italian dancing shoes as the evening descends
Chorus:
D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A
And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime
G Bm Em A
And we can thank God that we've finally got
D
peace in our time
Verse 2:
D
There's a man going round taking names no
matter who you claim to be
D
As innocent as babies, a mad dog with rabies,
D7 G
you're still a part of some conspiracy
Em Em/Eb
Meanwhile there's a light over the ocean
Em7 A
burning brighter than the sun
A7
And a man sits alone in a bar and says "Oh God,
A
what have we done?"
Chorus:
D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A
And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime
G Bm Em A
And we can thank God that we've finally got
D
peace in our time
Instrumental Bridge: D A7 F# Bm E A Bm
Verse 3:
D
They're lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land
D
Just another tiny island invaded when he's got
D7 G
the whole world in his hands
Em Em/Eb
And the Heavyweight Champion fights in the
Em7 A
International Propaganda Star Wars
A7
There's already one spaceman in the White
A
House, what do you want another one for?
Chorus:
D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A
And the bells take their toll once again in victory chime
G Bm Em A
And we can thank God that we've finally got
Outro:
D
peace in our time.

One Bell Ringing Tom: D
Dsus2 Raining slapping on the window pane C An hour or more of teeming C6 Storm punching like a hurricane Dsus2 That tore him out of dreaming
Dsus2 Air screaming through the slightest gap C Rattling between the frame and the sill C6 Drapes hanging from the final act Dsus2 When I had you still
F* G F* G One lonely bird... is singing F* Lower the hood hung of his lament G F (Standard F at first fret) Dash him down on cold cement C Dsus2 One Bell Ringing
Flies buzzing round strip search light They've got him down on his knees He thinks of honey dripping from a spoon Girls whispering in Portuguese
Between muzzle and the black site Electrical contact Deny your name and then carry the blame Somewhat after the fact
One lonely bird is singing Lower the hood hung on that last lament Dash him down on cold cement One Bell Ringing

Gm D
Wipe her from my life... I might as well... God give me strength... God give me strength... I might as well

This Years Girl Tom: D Intro: D C D C
(riff 2) D Bm A See her picture in a thousand places 'cause she's this year's girl. D Bm F#m (riff 1) You think you all own little pieces of this year's girl. G A G A Forget your fancy manners, forget your English grammar, G A Dsus4 D Dsus2 D 'cause you don't really give a damn about this year's girl.
Repeat intro, then the same chords as verse 1.
Still you're hoping that she's well spoken 'cause she's this year's girl. You want her broken with her mouth wide open 'cause she's this year's girl. Never knowing (if?) it's a real attraction, all these promises of satisfaction, while she's being bored to distraction being this year's girl.
Bm G D Time's running out. She's not happy with the cost. E7 intro riff E There'd be no doubt, only she's forgotten much more than she's lost.
(riff 2) D Bm A A bright spark might corner the market in this year's girl. D Bm F#m (riff 1) You see yourself rolling on the carpet with this year's girl. G A G A Those disco synthezisers, those daily tranquilizers, G A G A those body building prizes, those bedroom alibis; G A Dsus4 D Bmsus4 Bm all this, but no surprises for this year's girl. G A F#m Bmsus4 Bm All this, but no surprises for this year's girl. G A Dsus4 D All this, but no surprises for this year's girl.
Outro: play intro riff then i do something like this:
e|-0--0~----------0-| B|-0--0~----------0-| G|-9--9--7~---/9--9-| D|-9--9--7~---/9--9-| A|-7--7--5~---/7--7-| E|----------0~-0--0-| play a few times then end on the big E chord
riff 1 (between F#m and G) G|-----2-----| D|-2h4---4-2-|
riff 2 (play before the D at the start of each verse after intro riff) A|-0-0-2-2-4-4-|

And I said, "Make that twenty five"
The firing squad have got me right in their sights Got me strapped up tightly with some dynamite And I hear the executioner has got a brand new kink He's giving me cyanide to breathe and strychnine to drink

So dress me in chains and bind me in shackles

I saw my baby talking to a man today Speaking softly in a confidential way I saw a shadow pull his glove off As a bluebird flew over Life's is no pleasure When you doubt the one you love

One will follow Two unknown sorrow Three for laughter Four ever after Five-foot flood when the waters hit Six feet deep, the eternal pit
Seven prayers and seven pleas To eight imagined deities Cat o' nine tails Cat of nine lives Brides turned into old wives tales Your complexion colours then it pales And into the sunset it sails
Soon these secrets will be scattered Heaven knows what lies inside It took a moment to discover A lifetime to decide
Take the honey from the comb Ravel thread around the loom Dig the dirt up from the tomb Dr. Watson, I presume

Dm Bb A7
The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palace
Dm Bb A7
The blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chalice
Dm Bb A7
The pale pathetic promises that everybody swallows
Dm A7 Dm (B C B A D) D
A teenage girl is crying 'cos she don't look like a million dollars
(B C B A D) D
So help her if you can
(B C B A D) D
'Cos she don't seem to have the attention span
CHORUS
Dm Bb A7
Was it a millionaire who said "imagine no possessions"?

A poor little schoolboy who said "we don't need no lessons"?

The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shop

The pop princess is downtown shooting up

is fit for burning
(B C B A D) D
The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning

I Still Have That Other Girl Tom: F Intro: F C# F C# Bbm

I have to say that we should finish it now
Bb Am Gm Bb/C F
Before we weaken 'cause we already know this is wrong
F Dm
I could give in, sometimes I think that I will
Dm Am E7 Am
Despite the temptation I try to be very strong
Bbmaj7 Gm7
In my reluctance seems a surprise
Ebmaj7 C7sus4 C7
It's not 'cause I don't want you

But I just

Know I must... hesitate
Bbmaj7 Am
Because I still have that other girl

All This Useless Beauty Tom: D
D D/C#
It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit
Bm D7/A
If she wasn't so ladylike
G D/F#
She imagines how she might have lived
Em Em/F# Em/G A
back when legends and history collide
D D/C# Bm
So she looks to her prince finding since he's so charmingly
D7/A
slumped at her side
G D/F#
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
Bm Bm/A E
And she's waiting for passion or humor to strike
A G What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? G A D All this useless beauty
D D/C#
Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
Bm D7/A
'Til he almost began to negotiate
G D/F# Em Em/F# Em/G A
She held his head like a baby and said "It's okay if you cry"
D D/C#
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess
Bm D7/A
He desires to impress his associates
G D/F#
But he's part ugly beast and Hellenic deceased
Bm Bm/A E
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny
CHORUS
C D G
She won't practice the looks from the great tragic books
G G/F# Em
That were later disgraced to face celluloid
C D G
It won't even make sense but you can bet
C D G
If she isn't a sweetheart or plaything or pet
C A
The film turns her into an unveiled threat
D D/C#
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
Bm A
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
G D/F# Em Em/F# Em/G A
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
D D/C#
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
Bm A
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
G D/F#
If something you missed didn't even exist
Bm Bm/A E
It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?
Chorus [x2]

E A long time ago, our point of view Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew And now the world is full of sorrow and pain And it's time for us to speak up again
You're slack and sorry Such an arrogant brood The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food We sit here staring at your pomp and pout A7 Outside the bars we use for keeping you out
B7
You've taken everything that you wanted
Broke it up and plundered it and hunted
Ever since we said it
You went and took the credit
A7
It's been headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
E E7 A B7
Monkey to Man
Riff
E
Every time man struggles and fails
He makes up some kind of fairytales
After all of the misery that he has caused
A7
He denies he's descended from the dinosaurs
B7
Points up to heaven with cathedral spires
All the time indulging in his base desires
Ever since we said it
He went and took the credit
A7
It's been headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
E E7 A B7
Monkey to Man
D A
Big and useless as he has become
D A
With his crying statues and his flying bomb
D A
Goes 'round acting like the chosen one
Dsus
Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin
E
He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes
Hoping to hell someone's forgiven his crimes
Fills up the air with his pride and praise
A7
He's a big disgrace to our beastly ways
B7
In the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts
Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts
Ever since we said it
He went and took the credit
A7
It's been headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you

It scares you witles

Go on and hurt me when we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you

I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do

Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh no my darling not with that clown
I want you

You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more

I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it

Well, if I was a saint with a silver cup
And the money got low, we could always heat it up or trade it in.
But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse.
And then you can run down the wave band, coast to coast, hand in hand.
D7 C
Better or worse, curse for curse, don't be disatisfied.
D G
So, you're not satisfied.
Em7 G
Blame it on Cain. Don't blame it on me.
C D
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault,
C G
But we need somebody to burn.
I think I've lived a little too long on the outskirts of town.
I think I'm goin' insane from talking to myself for so long.
Oh, but I never been accused.
When they step upon your face, you wear that good luck grin.
D7
I gotta break out one weekend if I do somebody in.
But ev'ry single time I feel a little stronger,
C D
They tell me it's a crime. Well how much longer?
Em7 G
Blame it on Cain. Don't blame it on me.
C D
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault,
C G
But we need somebody to burn.
Em7 G
Blame it on Cain. Don't blame it on me.
C D
Oh, oh, oh, it's nobody's fault.
C G
But it just seems to be his turn.

D G D
"hello floorboards, once again, how are you?"
(Chorus)
G C

D G D
how could you believe i'd take you seriously?
G C
with your cheap rewards, your blackmail and your comical rage,

just remember that you'll only be the boss as long you pay my wage.
Well all the signposts on this road they all point one way,
don't act like you're above me, just look at your shoes.
i'll turn the light out now 'cause there's nothing left to say,
and it's all been lost befor so there's nothing left to lose.
B C
oh but you could say that you loved me very painlessly
D G D
i would have done the same for you but you said to me.....
