Its Getting Better
Tom: D
Intro: D G A x2
D A
Once I believed that when love came to me
D A
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry
F#7 Bm
But with me and you
G Em A A/G
it just started quietly and grew
D/F# G
And believe it or not
D Bm G
Now there's something groovy and good
A D
Bout whatever we got
N.C. Em/A A
Cause it's getting better
F#m Bm
Growing stronger
Em A
warm and wilder
D G A D G A
Getting better everyday, better everyday
D A
I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed
D A
I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
F#7 Bm
Holding you at night
G Em A A/G
just seems kind of natural and right
D/F# G
And it's not hard to see
D Bm G A D
That it isn't half of what it's going to turn out to be
N.C. Em/A A
And it's getting better
F#m Bm
Growing stronger

warm and wilder

Getting better everyday, better everyday

And I don't mind waitin', I don't mind waitin'

Cause no matter how long it takes

The two of us know
N.C. Em/A A
That it's getting better
F#m Bm
Growing stronger

Aching Kind
Tom: C
C F C Am E7 Am
You left me here holding my face, your words were cold as stone
G C F C F C
You should have known how I feel when I’m down on my knees
Dm F G C
Since you’ve gone I’ve been so blue, baby you still on my mind
Dm G C
Cause I’ve always been one of the aching kind
Tonight will be one of those days so don’t you run me down
Cause I blame him too, everybody’s saying your baby tired of you
Since you’ve gone I’ve been so blue, baby you still on my mind
Cause I’ve always been one of the aching kind
Steel guitars, honky tonk bars,
Nothing makes you crazy lie singing in a rock and roll band
Since you’ve gone I’ve been so blue, baby you still on my mind
Cause I’ve always been one of the aching kind
Blueberries For Breakfast
Tom: E
Chorus:
E B Ebm Abm
Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon,
E B Ebm Abm
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon...
E B Ebm Abm
Drive you to the airport; wait till it’s time to go.
E B Ebm Abm
I’ve checked the weather report; they say it will not snow
E B
And all the planes can come and go.
E B
But I think the ceiling is too low, so you can’t go.
Chorus
New York fire [?] burning just a little too bright.
Manhattan firefly, never make it through the night.
Somehow she came out alright;
Through the darkness, see her light shining bright.
Chorus
I’m gonna have to call the cops, if you don’t leave me alone.
Stop waiting at the bus stop, trying to walk me home.
The FBI, the CIA, you know they'll never leave you alone---
And I will cut you to the bone.
Chorus
Gemini Childe
Tom: D
D
Soft rhythms of her feet;
Soft buckskin next to my cheek
G
Oh, the long hair unbound tumbling down.
D
Musical songs without sound.
Strong magical lines over the land...
Strange mystical lines on her hands.
Twin Gemini, split in two;
Half is for me, half for you.
Am Bm Em F Bm Em Am D Bm Em Am
Gemini childe...
D G C D
Gemini childe - woman grown,
G D Em A
Lost in a world not her own.
D G C D
My midnight friend, split in two;
G D Em A
Half is for me, half for you.
Gemini childe
Mansions
Tom: A
A7
Sitting in our mansion, guarded by expansion,
C G7
Questioning our motives and our means;
Dm Em Gm
Wondering why this isn’t like the dream.
A7
Walls of wealth surround us, people cannot hound us.
C G7
A gentle Spanish lady cooks our meals,
Dm Em Gm
But we never ask her how she feels.
Limousines and laughter, parties everafter.
If you play the game, you pay the price
Purchasing a piece of paradise.
A7 Gm
Changes...changing...
F C
Fog and rain...
F C
London towns the same
F C
Borrowing time from friends
F C
Circles have no end.
Paris and Rome
Making their scene but missing our own.
Beatles and Stones
Then on the phone and come back home.
Changes...changing...
Nothing left to bind us; people cannot find us.
C Gm
You live your life and live it as you please.
F C Gm
Live your life exactly as you please,
Live your life and live it as you please
F C G
Please, live your life just as you please.
My Heart Stood Still
Tom: C
C F G
I took one look at you,
C F Fm
That's all I meant to do,
C Fm F C C Em F G
And then my heart stood still!
C Em F G
My feet could step and walk,
C F
My lips could move and talk,
C Fm F C
And yet my heart stood still!
C
Though not a single word was spoken
G
I could tell you knew you knew (yeah).
C D
That unfelt clasp of hands, yeah
Ab G
Told me so we-ell, yeah...
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that
Moment when my heart stood still, yeah
And I never lived at all until the thrill
Of that moment when my heart stood still..
No Salt On Her Tail
Tom: F
F Bb F Bb F
Not in my arms, but on my mind
C F Bb F
Yes, on my mind, but not in my arms.
F Bb F Bb F
Time passes by and I watch her fly
C F Bb F
Yes, I watch her fly, and time passes by.
Bb Gm
Though it’s hard for me, I’m going to leave her free
Bb Dm Am Dm
Cause that would be the best philosophy. Then she’ll come to me.
Gm C
So I feel that to be real that...
This little bird, she can fly away;
No salt on her tail, no cage to make her stay.
Though it’s hard...
Pearl
Tom: Cm
Chorus:
Cm Gm Dm C Cm Gm Dm C
First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might
Ab C# Ab
Have the wish I wish tonight.
Fm Cm C# Ab
A banker's daughter or a runaway girl,
C#m F# Eb
A little lady or a honky-tonk Pearl
Fm Cm C# Ab
Has to find someplace in this world where she feels at home.
A banker's daughter is so hard to deceive;
A little lady is so hard to please.
Honky-tonk Pearl wears her heart on her sleeve and her heart will not grow cold.
Chorus
Here's a wish for a runaway girl;
Here's a prayer for honky-tonk Pearl -
Hope she finds someplace outta this world where she feels at home.
Chorus +
D Bbm Fm Cm
I wish I may, I wish I might...
Eb Bb C# Ab
Have the wish I wish tonight.
Safe In My Garden
Tom: C
C Dm7 F C Dm7 G
Safe in my garden an ancient flower blooms.
C Dm7 C Em Am Dm7 G
And the scent from its nature slowly squares my room;
C Dm7 Am G
And its perfume being such that it’s causing me to swoon.
C F Am F
Could it be we were hot-wired? Late one night we’re very tired.
Dm7 G
They stole our minds and thought we’d never know it.
C F Em Am
With a bottle in each hand; too late to try to understand.
F Dm7
We don’t care where it lands, we just throw it.
C Dm Am G
Somebody take us away... Somebody take us away...
When you go out in the street, no many hassles with the heat;
No one there can fill your desire.
Cops out with the megaphones, telling people stay inside their home.
Man, can’t they see the world’s on fire?
Somebody take us away...take us away...
Safe in our garden...
Strange Young Girls
Tom: C#m
Intro: Abm E F# Abm E F# B (2X)
C#m E B F#m6 C#m
Strange young girls covered with sadness;
E B F#m6 C#m
Eyes of innocence hiding their madness.
A Abm F#m6 C#m
Walking the strip, sweet, soft and placid
E B F#m6 C#m
Offering their youth on the alter of acid.
E B F#m6 C#m C#m7
Thinking these gifts were sent by the dove;
A B Abm C#m C#m7 F# C#m
All for the trip, accompanied by love.
Gentle young girls holding and walking;
Wisdom flows childlike while softly talking.
Colors surround them bejewling their hair;
Visions astound them demanding their share.
Children of Orpheus called by the dove
All for the trip accompanied by love.
Thinking these gifts...
Too Late
Tom: A
A D F#m Em
When it's too late for talking,
D D7 Am
But it's too early to be walking
Bm E A
And your world slowly stops its spin
D G A D
When the mind that once was open, shuts
G A
And no one can get in...
And we know that you're faking,
And there's no give or taking
And no one's really sure who's been had.
When the love and trust have turned to dust,
And that was all you had...
F#m Bm F#m G
Get on your pony and ride; get on your pony and ride.
C7 E7 A A7
No one to catch up to you, if you try. (repeat)
No one to catch up to you, If you try, cause I've tried.
D G A D
Cause when the mind that once was open shuts
And you knock on the door, nobody answers anymore...
When the love and trust has turned to dust (repeat)

Creeque Alley
Tom: B7
Intro: B7 (4x)
B7
John and Mitchie were gettin' kind of itchy
B7
Just to leave the folk music behind
E7
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
B7
Tryin' to get a fish on the line
F#7
In a coffee house Sebastian sat
E7
And after every number they'd pass the hat
B7
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
E7
In L.A., you know where that's at
D7 B7
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
B7
Zally said "Denny, you know there aren't many
B7
Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south"
E7
Denny said "Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
B7
I could play guitar like you"
F#7
Zal, Denny and Sebastian sat (at the Night Owl)
E7
And after every number they'd pass the hat
B7
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin higher
E7
In L.A., you know where that's at
D7 B7
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
B7
When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
B7
But she changed her mind one day
E7
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
B7
"Take me to New York right away"
F#7
When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
E7
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps
B7
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
E7
But that's what they were aimin' at
D7 B7
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
B7
Mugwumps, high jumps, slow slumps, big bumps
B7
Don't you work as hard as you play
E7
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
B7
Guess it had to be that way
F#7
Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful
E7
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
B7
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire
E7
In L.A., you know where that's at
D7 B7
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass
**Instrumental Break: Flute Solo Over Verse Chords
B7
Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
B7
