Home Again 
Tom: Dm  
Intro: Bb F (3x) Bb F G Am Bb C
(Verses 1,2)
    Dm              Gm            Dm
I'm counting on a memory to get me out of here
     Dm              Gm                           Dm
I'm waiting for the fog around this spooky little town to clear
             C          C            A    Dm
All this time I spent being someone else's friend 
               Eb                                   Bb      Am    Dm
Just one more time, for old time's sake I'd like to go back home again
Dm                   Gm            Dm
 The world had seven wonders once upon a time
Dm                            Gm             Dm
 It's sure enough the favored nations aided their decline
           C                C                A     Dm
And all around me I've seen times like it was back when
               Eb                                     A
But like back then, I'd say a men if I could get back home again
(Chorus:) 
           Bb       F
If I could go back home, 
           Bb       F
if I could go back home
       Dm              Dm          C
If I'd never left, I'd never have known
        Bb        Am
We all dream of leaving, 
    Bb      F      G          A
but wind up in the end
         Dm                      Bb      Am    Dm
Spending all our time trying to get back home again
(Verse 3 > play as Verse 2)
Could have been a jailbreak and a spotlight hitting me
Or was I just some nightclub singer, back in 1963
In the old part of Valencia, on the coast of Spain
Never tiring once of hearing songs about going home again
[Chorus x2:]
If I could go back home, if I could go back home
If I'd never left, I'd never have known
We all dream of leaving, but wind up in the end
Spending all our time trying to get back home again

Intro: F Bb/D F Bb/D F Bb/D F Bb/D
       F      Bb/D   F
Cast a pebble on the water
          F/Eb            Bb/D
Watch the ripples gently spreading
     F               Am7
Tiny daughter of the Camargue
        Gm7             Bbadd9
We were meant to be together
        F    Bb/D     F   
We were made for one another
     F7               Bb
In a time it takes to grow up
   Bb/D          Gm7    (4 more beats)
If only we were old enough
     Am7        Bbadd9          F  Bb/D F 
Then they might leave us both alone 
Chorus:
           Bb   C          F  Bb/D F Bb/D*F
So take my hand    in your hand
Bb            C        F    Bb/D F 
Say it's great to be alive

No one's going to find us 
     Gm7          F/A  Bb          (Intro)
It's wonderful so wild beneath the sky
Sleeping in the open
See the shadows softly moving
Take a train towards the south lands
Our time was never better
We shall pass the sights of splendor
On the door of a new life
It had to happen soon I guess
Whether it is wrong or it is right
Chorus: 
We learned to be so graceful
Watching wild horses running
And from those agile angels
We knew the tide was turning
For we watched as on the skyway
The herons circled slowly
While we mere mortals watched them fly
Our sleepless eyes grew heavy
Chorus 2x

The Ballad Of Danny Bailey 
Tom: Bm
Bm                              C
Some punk with a shotgun killed young Danny Bailey
Bm                                          C
Killed him in cold blood, in the lobby of a downtown motel
Bm                     C
Killed him in anger, a force he couldn't handle
G/E                          Fmaj7+9
Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life
            Am7+9                 Bb7
And there's not many knew him the way that we did
      Am7+9                                     Bb7
Sure enough he was a wild one, but then aren't  most hungry kids, oh
Am7+9   G   F    Em
Woah-   oh, woah-  oh, oh,
D            F    G     Bm     Bsus4 Bm
Now it's all over Danny Bailey
E       G  A     D
And the harvest is in
C           G/B          Gm/Bb       D/A
Dillinger's dead, woah- oh
C/G         G   G/B   D
I guess the cops won a  gain
             F    G     Bm     Bsus4 Bm
Now it's all over Danny Bailey
E       G  A       D
And the harvest is in
We're running short of heroes back up here in the hills
Without Danny Bailey we're gonna have to break up our stills
So mark his grave well `cause Kentucky loved him
Born and raised a proper, I guess life just bugged him
And he found faith in danger, a lifestyle he lived by
A running gun youngster in a sad restless age
Bm C (repeat)

         C7(no3rd)
It's a constant struggle getting up that hill
                F     
There's a change of guard every day
                  C7(no3rd)
When you're clinging onto a driftwood boat
               F
You pray a great white whale might come your way
      Ab
No freeway traffic in the frozen North
          F7
Just a chain link fence full of birds
                Ab
And when the harpoon's loaded in the cannon bay
                G7
You'll be rolling through the pages lost for words
       Cm7               Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab can you tell me where
              F7               Ab
I can catch a ride out of here

Hey Ahab hoist that sail
              F7
You gotta stand up straight
               Ab               C7(no3rd)
When you ride that whale
         C7(no3rd)
In a crumbling city we were trapped for days
                F
With a broken sun above the clouds
                  C7(no3rd)
Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down
               F
And a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed"
      Ab
All the cryptic symbols carved on bone
          F7
A far cry from a tattooed rose
                Ab
And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind
                G7
We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho
       Cm7               Cm7/Eb
Hey Ahab can you tell me where

I stood on certain ground
  Bbm7            Ab
A picture of true happiness
C#            Ab
A confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found (Oh no...)
I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly, put on show
My conquests on display (I can't believe he's changing)
And who'd have thought that confidence could die? (Oh no)
Not me, Not me (Not me, not me)
That all I took for granted was a lie (Oh no)
Not me, Not me (Not me, not me)
And who'd have guessed I'd throw my world away
To be with someone I'm afraid will say
Not me, not me? (This can never be)
Mereb
He's in love
But he's not the only one
Who'll be changed
Amneris
Why hasn't Radames come to see me again? We're to be married in three days, and 
yet... Aida, I must make things right with him.
Aida
I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share
Amneris
An empty room is merciless
Don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there
Aida & Amneris
And who'd have thought a love could be so good?
Not me, not me
And show me things I never understood
Not me, not me
And who'd have guessed he'd throw his world away
To be with someone 'til his dying day?
Not me, not me
Radames / Amneris & Aida (Mereb)
And who'd have thought a love could be so good? (No good)
Not me, not me (Not me, not me)
My/his secrets & my/his passions understood (No good)

Not me, not me (This can never be)

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line

I hope you're happy now

Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl

You'll make it back somehow

All that matters is they came around

And brightened up our lives
She was twenty one with her life ahead 
You don't need to know her name 
She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade 
But fate's right hand isn't always just 
Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust 
She was just a little girl, ain't that enough 
To rage against the day 
chorus:
    Ab                 Eb
And how did we get so lucky
Bb                      Cm         Cm/B
Targets on the rifle range
   Ab                  Eb
Who makes the call and who gets to choose
Bb                    Cm
Who gets to win and who gets to lose
           Ab                  Eb
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues 
    G                 Cm        
And blues never fade away 
Cm/B         Ab                  Eb
Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls 
    G                   Cm
But blues never fade away 
He shone so bright with a lust for life 
Like the Sun King that he was 
His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth 
And for reasons I never understood 
About the choices made between the bad and good 
I've tried to figure out why
The pain never goes away 
[repeat chorus]
            G                  Cm
And there's marble markers and little white crosses 
 G               Cm             
Along the beaten path 
          Ab                Eb
And I've spread their ashes on the wind 
       Bb                 Cm
And I miss John Lennon's laugh 
[repeat chorus]

The Bridge 
Tom: C
Capo 1
C                            F
I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long
         G                      F
And they built it high and they built it strong
         Am               F
Strong enough to hold the weight of time
       C                     G
Long enough to leave some of us behind
CHORUS:
          Am               F
And every one of us has to face that day
       G                          Em
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
          F                   Fm
And every one of us that ever came to play
       C                   F    Am
Has to cross the bridge or fade away
         C                     F
Standing on the bridge looking at the waves
        G                F
Seen so many jump, never seen one saved
     Am                 F
On a distant beach your song can die
     C                 G
On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide
[repeat chorus]
F                 Am
And the bridge it shines
F            Am
Oh cold hard iron

Saying come and risk it all
       Em-G
Or die trying
Teacher I Need You

I was sitting in the classroom
Bb
Trying to look intelligent
   F                          C  F C F C F C
In case the teacher looked at me
        Am               Dm
She was long and she was lean
        Bb  F        Gm
She's a middle-aged dream
         F              Bb      F     Gm  C
And that lady means the whole world to me
It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework
With her image pounding in my brain
She's an inspiration
For my graduation
             F            Bb   C    F
And she helps to keep the classroom sane
           Dm C    Bb  Dm            C
Oh teacher I  need you like a little child
Am                Dm        Bb                 C
You got something in you to drive a school boy wild
           Dm C Bb            Dm       C
You give me education in the love sick blues
Am                   Dm
Help me get straight come out and say
Bb6         Bb           Csus4 C                F
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you
I have to write a letter
Tell about my feelings
Just to let her know the scene
Focus my attention
On some further education
In connection with the birdies and the bees
So I'm sitting in the classroom
I'm looking like a zombie
I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I've got John Wayne stances
I've got Erroll Flynn advances
And it doesn't mean a doggone thing

Sweat It Out
Tom: Am
Am
No ceiling on hard living
Peace keepers keep on breathing
              F
Can't deny eye for eye
It's open season
Am
Dictate to my reason
She devils ruling Britain
           F 
Hey girl stick it in your purse
Call it treason
Band aids on dead doorways
No heroes in the Bat Cave
Don't give me Tears For Fears
Give me tears of rage
Fires burn with black smoke
Oil slicks put us on the ropes
Man it's hard to handle
When the bank's broke
Dm7    E+     E    Fsus4    F    B7    E7
Dm7          Am                  G
Don't kow-tow, don't bow down
              C             F      C        F  C
Loosen up, get the lead out
Dm7       Am
Backs up let them shout
G            C
Backs up sweat it out
                F        C      F             C
When your back's up, sweat it out
F        C    Dm7  E7  Am        
Backs up, sweat it out
Hope froze in the cold weather
No ice on a greasy river
Liberty and John Doe
Stand and Shiver
War waits when the lines form
The baby sitter in a uniform
Knocking down your door
For your rice and corn

Honky Cat

When I look back, boy I must have been green
G
Boppin in the country, fishing in a stream
D7
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
G
Until I saw your city lights, honey I was blind-they said
B7
Get back honky cat, better get back to the woods

Well I quit those days, and my redneck ways-and-a
D7                                                G
Mmm mmm mmm mmm oh the change is gonna do me good
Get back honky cat, living in the city ain't where its at,
It's like, trying to find gold in a silver mine, its like
Trying to drink whisky, from a bottle of wine
Well I read some books and some magazines about those
High class ladies down in new Orleans and all the
Folks back home, well, they said I was a fool, they said
Leave them alone, is the golden rule
They said stay at home, boy you got to tend the farm,
Living in the city boy is, gonna break your heart
But, how can you stop when your heart says no, ah-ah
How can you stop when your feet say go
D7
Get back, honky cat, get back honky cat, get back
G
Woo

You gotta learn to live again

Rock me now in your gentle healing hands
PIANO SOLO FOR SECOND ROUND {Gm-Eb-F-Bb-Gm-Eb....}LISTEN TO THE RECORDING AND YOU'LL BE

All I ever wanted was a reason
To drown in your eyes
I never knew sleep so restless
Empty arms so cold
That's not the way it's supposed to be
It ain't the spell that I was sold

Rotten Peaches 
Tom: A
|(tacit)       |		   |Bm            |  
We've moved on six miles from where we were yesterday
       |C#m7	 |     |D   	       |	(D, C#m)  |   Bm
And yesterday is but a long long ways away
(Bm) 	      |C#m7	    | D		    | D6 	
So we'll camp out tonight       beneath the bright starlight
    |A		  	         |G	        |D 	    |
And forget rotten peaches and the places we've stayed
I left from the dockland two years ago now
Made my way over on the S.S. Marie
And I've always had trouble wherever I've settled
Rotten peaches are all that I see
CHORUS (2x’s)
|G	       |A 	      |D      |  D      |Dsus4  D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
|G 			   |A		         |D    |Dsus4  D
Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun
A     	    |A/Ab     |F#m7        | D  (hold)        |
Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus I'm the one
       |A      |G	      |D
Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
There ain't no green grass in a U.S. state prison
There is no one to hold when you're sick for your wife
And each day out you'll pick, you'll pick rotten peaches
You'll pick rotten peaches for the rest of your life
Oh I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills
For I lie in the light of the Lord
And my home is ten thousand, ten thousand miles away
And I guess I won't see it no more
CHORUS (2x’s)
A		 G		    D

I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room.
D                       A               E
Those bars that look towards the sun at night look towards the moon.
G            A                    E
Everyday the swallows play in the clouds of love.
G                 F#m                 B
Make me wish that I had wings take me high above.
CHORUS:
Am7           G    D                    A
And I looked high  -  and saw the empty sky.

If I could only,   I could only fly.

At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars.

The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems oh so far.

If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above.
    G                  F#m      B
I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love.

Hey - the lucky locket hangs around your precious neck.

that sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land.

Gm                         F                                  Eb
I was one as you were one, and we were two so much in love forever.
                        Bb/D
I loved the white socks that you wore.
                         Gm7/Eb                      Dm
But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman.
  Gm                               F
I joked about your turned-up nose, criticized your school girl clothes-
Eb                                           Bb          Gm7/Eb | Dsus4  D  |

BRIDGE:
Asus4   A            Dm           Asus4             A7sus4 - A7  Dm
   For seasons come & seasons go.  Bring forth the rain     -    the sun & snow-

     make Valerie a woman.   And Valerie is lonely.
Em                     Am
No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton.
    Em                              Am
Undecided with the guardians of the older generation.
   F                            C
A doormat was a sign of welcome - in the winter months to come.
           Dm                          Am
And in the summer laughing through the castle ruins we'd run.
Em                             Am                        Em
For the quadrangle sang to the sun, and the grace of our feeling -
                       F
And the candle burned low.
                    C                     Dm
As we talked of the future underneath the ceiling.
Gm                          F                                   Eb
There were tears in the sky & the clouds in your eyes were just cover.

For your thighs were the cushions of my love and yours for each other.
{Repeat Bridge, then Intro}
Bb                        Ab
The songs still are sung.    It was fun to be young.
     Eb              F            Gm
But please don't be sad where you are.
                 F                      Eb
I am who I am.   You are who you are.
Bb/D                 Gm7/Eb    Bb/D                  Gm7/Eb
     Now Valerie's a woman.          Now Valerie's a woman.
Bb/D                 Gm7/Eb  Bb/D   Gm7/Eb   {Repeat Intro - end in Gm}

Gulliver 
Tom: Gm
Gm                    D/F#                  Eb
Gulliver's gone to the final command of his master
    F               Bb                             Abmaj7
His watery eyes had washed all the hills with his laughter
        Bb                                                   Ab
And the seasons can change all the light from the grey to the dim
        Gm                         F
But the light in his eyes will see no more bright
       Eb                          D
As the sheep that he locked in the pen
        G                      F/G
There's four feet of ground in front of the barn
       C/G                                      G        C/G
That's sun baked and rain soaked and part of the farm
G                        F/G
But now it lies empty so cold and so bare
C/G                     G                    Gm
Gulliver's gone but his memory lies there
By passing the doors of his life was a stage I remember
And in later years he would cease to bare teeth to a stranger
For sentiment touched him as Cyclamen holds him
And later men came from the town
Who said clear the child this won't take a while
And Gulliver's gone with the dawn

And who wrote the Bible - was it Judas or Pilate.
     Ab             F#              C#        Ab
Well one cleans his hands while the other one hangs -

     but still I continue to stand.

Look up little brother - can you see the clover?
Dm          Dm7    G              Eb            C
No not over there.   A little bit left and over there.
F                                 C
Now look and see the lilac tree - the lily pond, the skylark's song.
Dm                      Dm7    G                       Eb      C
The open air but no one cares  -  if branches live and die out there.
CHORUS:
Am            Dm                Am
Remember when you were nine and I was ten.

        Em              Bm            C             D7
If it's not the same as now, it's the same as yesterday.
    G                                D/F#
Yes Lady, what's tomorrow?   Will it be the same as now?
         Em                              D7
Will the farmer push the pen?   Will the writer pull the plough?
F                      C
Look up little brother - can you see the clover?
Dm                  Dm7   G                 Eb            C
Oh sorry - but it's over.    Now there's concrete and no clover.

There ain't no shoestrings on Louise
Come on down, come on down from the ladder

What she wants is to go kissing on a swine herd
You might as well kiss the boss man's cow
So ride in line shake yourself by the hand
Live your life inside a paper can
But you'll never get to pick and choose
She's bought you and sold you
There ain't no shoestrings on Louise
All those city women want to make us poor men
And this land's got the worse for the worrying
I got married at the early age of fourteen
And I've been worrying about the way you'll be loving them
So ride in line shake yourself by the hand
Live your life inside a paper can
But you'll never get to pick and choose
She's bought you and sold you
There ain't no shoestrings on Louise
There ain't no shoestrings on Louise

 

Sails 
Tom: Em
Intro: D/C    D6    Em
Em7
I viewed in my presence
A
My hand on my forehead
Em7
And sighting the liners
Bm                      Am
Of mad merchant seamen
Em7
In search of the living
D                   Am7
Or the spices of China
Lucy walked gently
Between the damp barrels
And shut out my eyes
With the width of her fingers
Said she'd guessed the number
Of bales in the back room
Em7
While the seagulls were screaming
A/C#      Bm C
Lucy was eating
Em7
Then we hauled up our colours
A/C#                     Bm  C
The way the mother had told  us
Am                Bm               Em
And together we just watched the sails
Lucy I said
In a passage of cotton kegs
Can we hold hands
I'm sure that it's warmer
Then the gulls ate the crumbs
Of Lucy's sandwich

Three score a thousand times where once in Amazon.

Where El Dorado holds the key no keeper holds my hand.

The Minotaur with bloody hands is  -  enraged by the sun.

Caged he by the corpses brought forth by the dawn.
                            Ab

    Abm7                                          F#
For open crypts to silence nylon knots to sway by prayer.

It flowed upon the cobbled floor
For the bottle's dead
And they're drunk again
By the tavern door
outro is same as intro
