Belleau Wood 1917
Tom: Bm
[Bm] Oh the snow flakes fell in [D]scilence, over belleau wood that [G]night
[G]For a christmas goose had been [D]prepared, on both sides of the [G]line
[Bm]As we laid there in our [D]trenches, the scilence broke [G]into
[G]By a german soldier [D]singing, a song that we all [G]knew
[Bm]Though I did not know the [D]language, the song was silent [G]night
[G]Then I heard my buddy [D]whisper, all is calm all is [G]bright
[Bm]Then then fear in I srounded [D]me, as I died if I was [G]wrong
[G]But I stood up in my [D]tench, and I began to sing [G]along
[G]Then across the frozen battlefield anothers voice joined [D]in 
Until one by one each man [G]became a singer of the [Bm]hymn
[Bm]Then I thought I was [D]green, for right there in my [G]side
[G]Stood the german [D]soldier, who had a fallen face of [G]white
[Bm]And he raised his hand and smiled at [D]me, as if seemed to [G]say
[G]He was hopeing that we would both live to [D]see, find a better [G]way
[G]Then the devils clock struck midnight, and the skies lit up [D]again
And the battlefield where [G]heaven stood, was blown to Hell [Bm]again
[Bm]But for just one fleeting [D]moment, the answer seemed so [G]clear
[G]Heavens not beyond the [D]clouds, its just beyond the [G]field
[Bm]No heavens not beyond the [D]clouds, it for us to find [G]here

I Don't Have To Wonder
Tom: D
Intro:  D	G	D	G	Bm  A   G   Em 
D		  G      D            G       D     
Drove to the church in my suite and tie       
              G               A        D
But I just couldn't bring myself to go inside
             G       A                    Bm       
So I sat alone in my truck across the street       
             G								  A  
Watched that chauffeur  smokin' cigarettes  by that long white limousine.  
  D                G            A               Bm 
I could just imagine what was going on in there  
  G						                       A
Sunlight streamin' through the stained glass and those flowers in your hair  
Chorus I:
        Bm                                D              
And in less time than it takes a tear to fall  
             G            D
Those bells rang loud as thunder 
          G             D     
And they opened up the doors  
     G                A            D
Now I don't have to wonder anymore
D		  G      D            G       D
Laughin' and a crying,' tossin' that bouquet.  
              G               A        D
And when you got in that limo I drove off the other way.  
             G       A                    Bm
And  I still don't know why things happened like they did.  
             G								  A  
But I parked that old pick-up on that lonesome river bridge.  
  D                     G                A                  Bm 
I took your ring from my pocket, and I held it one last time.  
  G						                       A
I watched that diamond sparkle, I drew back and I let her fly.
Chorus II:
        Bm                                D    
And in less time than it takes a tear to fall, 
             G            D      
Oh, that old ring went under.  
  G             D          G                A            D
Lord, now it's gone for sure, and I don't have to wonder anymore...
D           G                D           G              D/F   
Well the angels sang like thunder  as I felt myself go under  
   G                 A
Now I don't have to wonder anymore
Ireland
Tom: A 
Intro:  A  A  A  A
A   
They say Mother Earth is breathing
A
With each wave that finds the shore
A
Her soul rises in the evening
A   
For to open twilight's doors
A      F#m              A  
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
A                      D  
Watching o'er us all the while
D                    A              E
And her heart it is in Ireland
E                     A 
Deep within the Emerald Isle
A
We were forty against hundreds,
A
In someone else's bloody war.
A
We know not why we're fighting,
A
Or what we're dying for.
A      F#m              A  
They will storm us in the morning,
A                      D 
As the sunlight turns the sky.
D                    A              E
Death is waiting for it's dance now,
E                     A 
Fate has sentenced us to die.
Chorus:
F#m      D           A
Ireland, I am coming home!
      D                A      
I can see your rolling fields of green
    F#m            E 
And fences made of stone.
     F#m      A              D       A               
I am reaching out, won't you take my hand
           F#m   D E  A
I'm coming home, I-re-land!
A
Oh the captain he lay bleeding
A
And I can hear him calling me
A
These men are yours now for the leading
A
Show them to their destiny
A      F#m              A
And as I looked up all around me
A                      D
I see the ragged tired and torn
D         A              E
I tell them to make ready
E                           A 
Cause we're not waiting for the morn.
**Chorus
A
Now the fog is deep and heavy
A
As we forge the dark and fear
A
We can hear their horses breathing
A
As in silence we draw near
A      F#m              A
And there are no words to be spoken
A                      D
Just a look to say goodbye
D                    A              E
I draw a breath and night is broken
E                     A 
As I scream our battle cry
**Chorus
A      F#m   D E  A           
Yes I am home, I-re-land!

 

In Lonesome Dove
Tom: G
G 
She was a girl on a wagon train
C      G          D             G
Headed west a-cross the plains.
      Em                    C           D
The  train got lost in a summer storm.
       Em                          C        D
They  couldn't move west and they couldn't go home.  
                  G                        
Then she saw him ridin' through the rain.
          C              G            D                G
He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train.
      Em                        C
And  she looked down and her heart was gone.
      Em                     C        D
The  train went west but she stayed   on in Lonesome Dove.
G 
A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand,
C      G          D             G
A blooming rose in a bed of sand;
      Em           C           D
She loved the man who wore a star,
       Em         C        D
A Texas Ranger known near and far.
                  G   
So they got married and they had a child.
       C        G       D            G
But times were tough and West was wild.
       Em                        C
So it was no surprise the day she learned
      Em                     C     
That her Texas man would not return
D
To Lonesome Dove.  
Chorus:
 Em                   G               C                       G      D/F#
Back to back with the Rio Grande, a  Christian woman in the devil's land.
       Em                          Bm
She  learned the language and she learned to fight, but she 
C                                Am            D         D   G
never learned how the beat the  lonely nights     in  Lonesome Dove,
  D   G
Lonesome Dove.
G 
She watched her boy grow to a man.
C      G          D             G
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand.
   Em        C           D
He wore his star for all to see.
       Em          C           D
He was a Texas lawman legacy.
                  G   
Then one day word blew into town.
       C        G       D            G
It seemed the men that shot his father down
      Em             C
Had robbed a bank in Cherico.
      Em                     C   
Tho only thing 'tween them and Mexico
D
Was Lonesome Dove.
G 
The shadows stretched across the land
C      G          D             G
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande.
      Em                    C           D
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street,
       Em           C           D
The men lay at the ranger's feet.
                  G   
But legend tells to this very day
       C        G       D            G
That shots were comin' from an alleyway.
      Em                        C
"Though no one knows who held the gun,
      Em                     C   
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
D
In Lonesome Dove.

     Little cafe, table for four
        Fsus             F+                  C+
	But there's just conversation for three
        Fsus         F+        F2            F+
	I like the way she let me get the door
        Dm                           C
	I wonder what she thinks of me
      Fsus               F+   F2             F+
      Debbie just whispered, "Your doing fine."
        Fsus            F+            C+
	And I wish that I felt the same
        Fsus            F+      F2                  F+
	She's asked me to dance now her hand's in mine
        Dm                              C
	Oh my God I've forgotten her name
Chorus 2:
                                  Bb            F
     But I'm going to smile my best smile
                             C                            F
	And I'm going to laugh like it's going out of style
                 Bb              Am              Bb       C
	Look into her eyes and pray she don't see
              Gm            F      Bb  C
	This learning to live again is killing me
During Steel Solo: F+ Gm7 F Bb C
        
	Fsus          F+   F2                 F+
     Now here we are, beneath her porch light
        Fsus              F+                C+
	And I say what a great time it's been
        Fsus             F+   F2              F+
 	A kiss on the cheek, a whisper goodnight
        Dm                            C
	And I say, "Can I see you again?"
Chorus 3: 
                          Bb             F   
     And she smiles her best smile
                      C                           F
	And she laughs like it's going out of style
                  Bb               Am          Bb   C  
	Looks into my eyes and says "We'll see"
         Gm                    F      Bb   C        Fsus F+ Fsus 
	Oh this learning to live again is killing me

Cold Shoulder
Tom: Bm
Bm                            G                D    C   D
There's a fire burning bright at our house tonight
            Bm                      A
Slow music playing and soft candle light
                    G                    Bm
On her lips I keep tasting the warm red wine
                 D   A7sus     A7          D
I'm there in her arms but it's all in her mind
Chorus:
     A                G                  D    C    D
The snow is piled high on the highway tonight
                    Bm                    A
I'm a ship lost at sea on this ocean of white
                    G                       Bm
Eighteen wheels anchored somewhere out of Dover
                 D                 Asus         A         D      Bm 
I wish I could hold her instead of hugging this old cold shoulder
**Solo:  D  G  D  C  D  Bm
Bm                      G            D    C   D
This old highway is like a woman sometimes
               Bm                           A
She can be your best friend but she's the real jealous kind
                    G                    Bm
She's the lady that leads me to the life I dream of
                 D      A7sus        A7              D
She's the mistress that keep's me from the ones that I love
**Chorus
G                    D                 A7sus                       Bm G D
God I wish I could hold her instead of huggin' this old cold shoulder
Belleau Wood
Tom: Dsus
       Dsus              D
Oh the snowflakes fell in silence
     G                 D
Over Belleau Wood that night
      G                        D
For a Christmas truce had been declared
   A
By both sides of the fight
      Dsus             D
As we lay there in our trenches
     G               Bm
The silence broke in two
     G              D 
By a German soldier singing
   A               D
A song that we all knew
         Dsus             D
Though I did not know the language
     G        A          D
The song was "Silent Night"
       G              D 
Then I heard my buddy whisper,
         A
"All is calm, and all is bright"
          Dsus           D
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me
           G            Bm
'Cause I'd die if I was wrong
       G             D
But I stood up in my trench
       A            D
And I began to sing along
     A                 G
Then across the frozen battlefield
D                      A
Another's voice joined in
      G               Bm
Until one by one each man became 
   G            A
A singer of the hymn
       Dsus                D
Then I thought that I was dreaming
    G                 D
For right there in my sight
G                D
Stood the German soldier
A
'Neath the falling flakes of white
    Dsus                D
And raised his hand and smiled at me
   G               Bm
As if he seemed to say
       G              D
Here's hoping we both live
          A             D
To see us find a better way
         A                    G
Then the devil's clock struck midnight 
         D           A
And the skies lit up again
        G                 Bm
And the battlefield where heaven stood
     G             A
Was blown to hell again
         Dsus             D
But for just one fleeting moment
     G                D
The answer seemed so clear
G             D
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
     A               Bm
It's just beyond the fear
   G              D
No Heaven's not beyond the clouds
         A            Dsus        D
It's for us to find it here
