Tentative Decisions 
Tom: Am
Am
Now that I can release my tensions
Let me make clear my best intentions
Girls ask and I, define decision
Boys ask and I, describe their function
F        C   F       C
Oh, the boys want to talk
F       G        F          G
Who like to talk about those problems
F        C      F          C
And the girls, say they're concerned
F           G           F         G
And they are concerned with these decisions
F            C
And it's all hard logic
F        G        F         G
To follow and the girls get lost
F       C      F           C
And the boys, say they're concerned
F        G           F           C
But they are concerned with decisiveness 
(The Em is a just a quick hit to the G)
Em      G
I wanna talk
Am            D  
I wanna talk as much as I want
Em     G
I'm gonna give

I'm gonna give the problem to you
G
Decide, decide, make up your mind
Decide, decide, I told you what to say
Confuse, confuse, describe what I found
Confuse, confuse, I told you what to say
Oh, the girls still want to talk
Like to talk about those problems
And the boys, say they're concerned
But they are concerned with these decisions
And it's all hard logic
I know and the girls get lost
And the boys, say they're concerned
But they are concerned with these decisions
I wanna talk
I wanna talk as much as I want
I'm gonna give
I'm gonna give the problem to you
I wanna talk
I wanna talk as much as I want
I'm gonna give
I'm gonna give the problem to you
Decide, decide, make up your mind
Decide, decide, I told you what to say

And She Was
Tom: E
E            A             E 
And she was lying in the grass 
E              A                  E 
And she could hear the highway breathing 
E              A              E 
And she could see a nearby factory 
E             A                 E 
She's making sure she is not dreaming 
Bb        F              C         F 
See the lights of the neighbor's house 
Bb           C         F 
Now she's starting to rise 
Bb       F       C         F 
Take a minute to concentrate 
   Bb         G       C 
And she opens up her eyes 
E               A            D             A 
The world was moving, she was right there with it

And she was 
E               A           D           A

And she was drifting thorugh the backyard 
E             A              E 
And she was taking off her dress 
E             A           E 
And she was moving very slowly 
E      A              E 
Rising up above the earth 
Bb      F       C      F 
Moving into the universe 
Bb        C            F 
Drifting this way and that 
Bb     F           C        F 
Now touching the ground at all

Up above the yard

And she was

She was glad about it ... no doubt about it 
G 
She isn't sure about where she's gone 
Bm 
No time to think about what to tell them 
G 
No time to think about what she's done 
         E    A    E 
And she was 
E              A          E 
And she was looking at herself 
E                 A              E 
And things were looking like a movie 
E             A        E 
She had a pleasant elevation 
E             A            E 
She's moving out in all directions 
Bb  F   C   F 
Oh, oh, oh, ... 
Bb  C   F 
Oh, oh, oh, ... 
Bb  F   C   F 
Oh, oh, oh, ... 
Bb  G   C 
Oh, oh, oh, ... 
E               A            D             A 
The world was moving, she was right there with it 
         E      A    D    A 
And she was

The world was moving she was floating above it 
         E      A    D    A 
And she was 
E             A         D       A 
Joining the world of missing persons 
         E      A    D    A 
And she was 
E         A      D       A 
Missing enough to feel alright 
         E 
And she was

I see the states across this big nation 
I see the laws made in Washington, D.C. 
I think of the ones I consider my favorites 
I think of the people that are working for me 
Some civil servants are just like my loved ones 
They work so hard and they try to be strong 
I'm a lucky guy to live in my building 
They all need buildings to help them along

CHORUS 2 
The Big Country
Tom: C
Intro: C D F  F G (rpt 3 more times) 

   C        D     F               F G 
I see the shapes, I remember from maps 
  C         D        F              F G 
I see the shoreline, I see the whitecaps 
  C          D       F                 F G 
A baseball diamond, nice weather down there 
   C        D      F                         F    G 
I see the schools, and the houses where the kids are 
  C         D  F                       F   G 
Places to park, by the factories and buildings 
 C               D   F                 F   G 
Restaurants and bars for later in the evening 
 Am                      G    F                       G 
Then we come to the farmlands and the undeveloped areas 
 Am               G      F                    G 
And I have learned how these things work together 
  Am               G F                        G 
I see the parkways that passes through them all 
 Am              G  F                        G 
And I have learned how to look at these things 
CHORUS 
           Bb          F                   Eb 
And I say, I wouldn't live there if you paid me 
Bb          F                Eb 
I wouldn't live there, ooh, no siree 
Bb          F                Eb 
I wouldn't do the things the way those people do 
Bb          F                 Eb 
I wouldn't live there if you paid me to 
I guess it's healthy, I guess the air is clean 
And I guess those people have fun with their neighbors and friends 
Look at that kitchen and all of that food 
Look at them eat, I guess it tastes real good 
 Am                              G  F                          F  G 
They're growin' in those farmlands, then they bring it to the stores 
 Am                            G  F                      F  G 
They put it in their car trunks, then they bring it back home 
CHORUS 
I'm tired of looking out the window of the airplane 
I'm tired of travelling, I want to be somewhere 
And it's not even worth talking about those people down there 
 Bb              F              Eb 
Do do da da da   Do do da da da Do do 
(keep on doing chorus with various noises) 
(eventually hold the Eb a while and end on Bb) 

 

Road to Nowhere
Tom :D
D			  Bm
We're on a road to nowhere, come on inside
D			   Bm
Taking that ride to nowhere, we'll take that ride
G			      D         A
I'm feelin' okay this morning, and you know
G			D	     A 		 D
We're on a road to paradise, here we go, here we go

We're on a ride to nowhere, come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere, we'll take that ride
Maybe you'll wonder where you are, I don't care
Here is where time is on our side, take you there, take you there
D			   Bm
We're on a road to nowhere, ha   -  ha
We're on a road to nowhere, ha   -  ha
  	   D
There's a city in my mind come along and take that ride
	    Bm
And it's alright, baby it's alright
	  D
And it's very far away, but it's growin' day by day 
	   Bm
And it's alright, baby it's alright
	   D
Would you like to come along, you can help me sing this song
	   Bm
And it's alright, baby it's alright
Chorus
