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

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

Helped pull the trigger that cut short his life

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

Hey Ahab Tom: C Intro: C7(no3rd) F
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
Cm7 Cm7/Eb
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
F7 Ab
I can catch a ride out of here
Cm7 Cm7/Eb

Bbm7
I once knew all the answers
C# Ab
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 (Not me, not me) And who'd have guessed I'd/he'd throw my/his world away To be with someone 'til my/his dying day? Not me, not me (This can never be)
Radames Not me Oh, not me
Love Lies Bleeding Tom: A Intro: A // C // G // F / G /
A
The roses in the window box
E
Have tilted to one side
A
Everything about this house
Bm
Was born to grow and die
A Bm D
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day
A
You said I'm sorry honey
E
If I don't change the pace
D E F#m
I can't face another day
Bm E
And love lies bleeding in my hand
F#m Bm E
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
F#m Bm
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
C#m
But my guitar couldn't hold you
D Dm
So I split the baaaa-a-ha-a-nd
F#m E A C G... (Introduction here)
Love lies bleeding in my hands
A
I wonder if those changes
E
Have left a scar on you
C#m D
Like all the burning hoops of fire
Bm B7
That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
Bm D
I hope you're happy now

Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl

You'll make it back somehow

Blues Never Fade Away Tom: Cm
Eb Bb
He wasn't famous but I sure did love him
Ab Eb
I've got his picture in a little frame
Eb Bb Ab Eb
He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name
Fm Bb
But there's so many more and I've lost count
Gm Cm
The hows and whys aren't important now
Ab Bb
All that matters is they came around
Ab Eb
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
F
Saying come and risk it all
Em-G
Or die trying

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

Dictate to my reason
She devils ruling Britain

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

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

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.

But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman.

I joked about your turned-up nose, criticized your school girl clothes-

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.

Gulliver Tom: Gm

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
