Incarceration Of A Flower Child 
Tom: C

C                   Cmaj7
Do you remember me? how we used to be
F                      C
helpless and happy and blind?
D7                     G#           G              C       G
Sunk without hope in a haze of good dope and cheap wine?
C                         Cmaj7
Laying on the living-room floor on those indian
F                     C
tapestry cushions you made
D7                      G#         G          C      C7
Thinking of calling our first born jasmine or jade.
F                                        C
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it to me,
F
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it,
      C                         C7
don't think about what it might be,
D7                                  F                        C
Don't get up to open the door, just stay with me here on the floor,
D7                         G  C      G
It's gonna get cold in the 1970's.
C                        Cmaj7
You wouldn't listen, you thought you knew better,
    F                            C
you just to had to speak to that man.
D7                      G#        G      C
Please believe me, I'll visit whenever I can.
C                           Cmaj7 
Laying in your little white room with no windows and
F                        C
three square sedations a day,
    D7                          G#          G
You plead with the doctor who's running the show,
C                            G                C
"Please don't take jasmine away and leave me alone!"
F                                                     C
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it to me,
F
Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it, 
      C                         C7
don't think about what it might be,
D7                                  F                        C
Don't get up to open the door, just stay with me here on the floor,

It's gonna get cold in the 1970's.

The Ballad Of Jean Charles de Menezes
Tom: F
	
F                    C                     Dm
 All in all it's just another brick in the wall
F                      C                    Dm
 All in all you're just another brick in the wall
Bb            F
Just another blunder
Bb                 F
Just another lousy call
Bb                   F           C
Just another clap of thunder
      Bb             F
And apologies ring hollow
         Bb             F
From the guilty in Whitehall
     Bb                F
And there's no hint of sorrow
Bb                       F
Just the whitewash on the wall
            C
Nothing is change   (Nothing at all)
      Bb               F       C
And Jean Charles de Menezes remains
 Bb            C           F
Just another brick in the wall!

Ooooh, the lonely boys

and the pope rolled up in his armored van
Am                                     D
he fell on his knees and kissed the land
G                                     C
he said something that i did not understand
it was in polish
     Am
then up stepped an aide
                           D
he said, i will translate
here is what his holiness said:
G               Em
'i am the chief jesuit.'
                     Am
'this land is jesus' land.'

Bravery Of Being Out Of Range 
Tom: D
Intro: D D/C# D/B D/A D/G D/F# D/E
                     D
You have a natural tendency
     D/C#
To squeeze off a shot
               D/B
You're good fun at parties
              D/A
You wear the right masks
          D/G
You're old but you still
            D/F#
Like a laugh in the locker room
                 D/E
You can't abide change
You're at home on the range
You opened your suitcase
Behind the old workings
To show off the magnum
You deafened the canyon
A comfort A friend
Only upstaged in the end
By the Uzi machine gun
D/E
Does the recoil remind you
Remind you of sex
E        (E f#)   G                 D        
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
E   (E f#)   G             D        
Old timer who you gonna kill next
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris
I swam in your pools
And lay under your palm trees
I looked in the eyes of the Indian
Who lay on the Federal Building steps
And through the range finder over the hill
I saw the front line boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find
On their desert stage
And the bravery of being out of range
Yeah the question is vexed
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
Old timer who you gonna kill next
Bridge ????
Hey bartender over here
Two more shots
And two more beers
Sir turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs
They're really great
For righting wrongs
You hit the target
And win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away
3,000 miles away
     E                     (E f#)     G             D        
We play the game with the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim with the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train with the bravery of being out of range
We gain terrain     with the bravery of being out of range
We play the game with the bravery of being out of range
The Tide Is Turning After Live Aid 
Tom: C

C
  I used to think the world was flat
Am
  Rarely threw my hat into the crowd
 F                                G
I felt I had used up my quota of yearning
C
  Used to look in on the children at night
Am
  In the glow of their Donald Duck light
 F                                                     G
And frighten myself with the thought of my little ones burning
    Am        G              C
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
  Am     G             C
          The tide is turning
C
Satellite buzzing through the endless night
Am
Exclusive to moonshots and world title fights
F                                    G
Jesus Christ imagine what it must be earning
C
Who is the strongest, who is the best
Am
Who holds the aces, the East or the West
F                                  G
This is the crap our children are learning
Am            G              C
But oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Am    G             C
       The tide is turning
Am         G             C
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
C
Now the satellite's confused
'Cos on Saturday night
Am
The airwaves were full of compassion and light
F
And his silicon heart warmed
                                   G
To the sight of a billion candles burning
Am         G             C
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning
Am         G             C
Oo, oo, oo, the tide is turning

[spoken:]The tide is turning Billy
C
I'm not saying that the battle is won
Am
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
F                                                G
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the War Lords
Am         G             C
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
Am    G              C
        The tide is turning Sylvester

Am G C over "The tide is turning" in various ways until fade out.
Additionally: 

Now the past is over but you are not alone
Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone
We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea
of macho bullshit and mediocrity

Should gentleness be filed along with empathy

Someone else's child dies and equities in defence rise

        C                   Am     Dm                      G
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so nearly blind
              C                C/G      Am                      F
And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I hear bells that chime in
strange,
                     G
        familiar ways
           C Am F             G              C    F G Em Am Dm G
I recognize      the hope you kindle in your eyes
C                             F               G
  It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark
        Em                              Am                  Dm
Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to
snuff out the
        G            C     CCC
        smoke of our love.

I stood in the wings with you, our lives in the hands of a second-rate actor

Held on the high ground of some big stage

Oh babe, how do these jaded stars get so far away?
Bm                             A      G
Will they catch what the other actors say?

Hey Joe where you goin' with that dogma in your head?
        Bm                                   A        G
You can prove your point but your kids will still be dead
D                                 A
Bring down the curtain, this soap opera must surely close
C          G          D
Before the cold wind blows

Like an ember glowin' in the dark
F                   C         G
I have almost grown cold
              C                     Dm
Frozen like a soldier standin' by a flag pole
Am                                  F
Like the fire they all said was too warm
            C      G7             C
I have been tempted to hand in my keys
G7             C
But I am not alone
               Dm
I feel you are with me
Am                                 F
I will not be a packet of crap on MTV

Carolyn Anne, give me your hand

Like a volcano gettin' ready to blow

The new generation waits by it's radio

Go Fishing
Tom: Bm
Intro:Em Em7 C D (Dadd9)
Bm7
We set out in the Spring =
					   D
With a trunkful of books about everything.
Bm7
About solar devices
			   D
And how nice natural childbirth is.
Cmaj7/E
We cut down some trees and trailed our ideals
		B7
Through the forest glade.
Cmaj7/E
We dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels
	 B7
In the fishing pool we made.
Em			   Em7
We held hands and we exchanged bands
	 C		 Cmaj7	   D
And we practically lived off the land.
Bm7
You adopted a fox cub
				    D
Whose mother was somebody's coat.
Bm7
You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down
       D
In the grandfather bed, while I wrote.
Cmaj7/E
And we grew our own maize
				B7
And I only occasionally went into town
Cmaj7/E
To stock up on antibiotics
			 B7
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around.
Em					Em7
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
	  C		    Cmaj7	    D
And the sun went down sooner each day.
Bridge:
G Em7/F#  Em Em7  C Cmaj7  D Dadd9 (2x)
Bm7  D (2x)
Cmaj7/E  B7 (2x)
Bm7
Then the leaves all fell down,
					 D
And the crops all turned brown.  It was over.
Bm7
As the first snowflakes fell
			     D
I realized all was not well in the camp.
Cmaj7/E
The kids caught bronchitis,
				    B7
The space heater ran out of diesel,
    Cmaj7/E
One weekend a friend from the east
				  B7
(Rot his soul) stole your heart.
Em					  Em7
I said, =D2Fuck it then, take the kids back to town,
C	     Cmaj7	  D	Dadd9
Maybe I'll see you around.=D3
G Em7/F#  Em Em7  C Cmaj7  D Dadd9 (2x)
	 G	   Em7/F#  Em	   Em7
And so leaving all our hopes and dreams
	 C	Cmaj7	  D	=
To the wind and the rain,
Dadd9	 G	    Em7/F# =
Taking only our stash,
	   Em		  Em7
Left our litter and trash
    C		Cmaj7
And set out =
D	 Dadd9 G (etc. to fade)
On the road again.
