Carol
G Am
Now that my days are numbered
G
I sit and pray,
Am D
Thinking about our days
C G D
Thinking about my only love
Now that the hour is coming
I sit and howl
Yearning for a kiss
Pleading for a farewell kiss
C
If you’re gonna come
D
Come now
C D
Sweet Carol I will not let you down
C D
Cause the greatest win of all
C C/b Am F D
Is to die beside the one you love
Now I can feel it coming
Now I can see
The things that I’ve done wrong
Won’t matter when I’m gone
Down in this icy river
I’ll close my eyes
For the very last time
I believe that it’s my time to go
If you’re gonna come
Come now
Sweet Carol I will not let you down
Cause the greatest win of all
Is to die beside the one you love
Don’t let her
C E7 F (F, C/e,G)
Sleep, sleep the wounds to deep.
Bb Am7
Now you’re lying in bed
Gm F Bb/f C
with the sheets pulled above your head.
E7 F (F, C/e, G)
You’re dead. You’re playing dead.
Bb Am7
But inside you burn
Gm F G C D7
there’s a fire at every turn (baba!)
Dm G C
Oh don’t let her… turn you into stone.
Alone, you’re not alone.
Though your heart is not right
You can turn around and fight her eyes
and the lies and cut the ties.
You should rest for now
but tomorrow I’ll show you how
Oh don’t let her… tear your world apart.
Be smart. She’s got your heart
But you’ve got your mind
And you don’t have to be kind.
So find. Find a better kind
And start over again
And take part in the world again
Oh don’t let her… turn you into stone.
::Oh you’re not alone!::
Misery
D G
These are the days I’ve been worried ‘bout
Bm A D
These are words I can’t say out loud.
These are the sounds I don’t want to hear
These are the words I have feared.
A D
… I think I’ll never get over it.
These are the feelings I want to die
These are the tears I don’t want to cry
These are steps I don’t want to take
These are the smiles I can’t fake
… I’d give my life just to get some rest.
C Em
I have nothing to loose, nothing left to keep
Am C Gmaj7 C
I’d give it all up for a goodnight sleep
Gmaj7 C
Honey I’m in misery
C/b Am C
I do it for you
G D
only for you
These are my nightmares realized
This collapse will be televised
These are the dreams of my enemies
This will be aired by the breeze.
… They’ll here my cry for a thousand miles
I have nothing to loose, nothing left to keep
I’d give it all up for a goodnight sleep
Honey I’m in misery
I do it for you,
only for you.
I’m Gonna Put My Name On Your Door.

with my true love by side
F C
I want to make it across the river

I want to buy you a diamond necklace
I want buy you a wedding gown
For now we are young and reckless
but one day we gonna settle down
Oh my, we’re gonna have to settle down.

You can be sure that I’ll deliver
I’ll keep my promises for sure.
Oh lord, I’m gonna put my name on your door.
Oh lord, I’m gonna put my name on your door.
Freeze-out
C
Birds in the morning, baby
F
sing out their tune
C
Car engines burning
G
in the bright afternoon
C
Sugar and caffeine
F
gonna fuel my day
C G C
till the evening breeze will steal me away
F C
Can’t help but wonder what I’m doing
F C
Can’t seem to figure it out
G F
Am I heading down a road to ruin?
C F G G7
Baby am I just fooling myself? Oh!
Sun on my windowsill
and rain on the ground
Cats in the backyard still
they don’t make a sound.
Flowers are blooming
in the still afternoon
And the sun is going down much to soon.
Can’t help but wonder what I’m doing
Can’t seem to figure it out
Am I heading down a road to ruin?
Oh am I just fooling myself?
Birds in the morning, baby
sing out their tune
Car engines burning
in the bright afternoon.
Pink clouds a-hovering
in the bright-colored sky
And moon is rising over the hill.
She’s a meadow
D C G
She’s a flower
D C G
that grows by the hour
D C G
She’s a fountain
D C G Bb
big as a mountainside
C Bb
Hovering ‘n covering all my trials
C A D
over and over again.
She’s a pigeon
she’s a religion
She’s a color
that looks like no other, no.
Hovering ‘n covering all my trials
over and over again.
G A
Falling, I keep calling to you
G G/f# Em
Baby I’m falling
A
I keep calling to you, baby can’t you hear.
She delivers
she makes me shiver
she’s a white dove
sent from the a(ha)bove
Hovering ‘n covering all my trials
over and over again.
She speaks softly
she smiles so brightly
She’s a meadow
She has no shadow, no
Hovering ‘n covering all my trials
over and over again.
Falling, I keep calling to you
Baby I’m falling
I keep calling to you, baby can’t you hear.
Queen St.
C (add9) Dm (add9)
The neon is burning
Em F
on Queen Street tonight.
C (add9) Dm (add9)
Spadina is calling
G F
The morning’s getting near
Em Am G
Bass drones and laughter’s all that I hear
Dm G (sus4)
Everywhere.
I’m seeing faces
I haven’t before
And beautiful places
But every girl I see
Reminds me there’s one waiting for me.
Across the sea.
F C (oh yeah)
I wish I knew where I was going
F C (oh yeah)
I’d go to where the cold wind’s blowing
F C (oh yeah)
I wish I knew where this was going
F Dm (oh yeah)
and for what or who I’m fighting
Dm
If you want to see the sun tomorrow
F C
Don’t ever ask about the yesterdays.
C (add9) Dm (add9)
They look so lonely
Riding the trains
Silently moaning
I wish I knew their names
I wish I we all could play the same games
Such a shame.
Em Dm (7) Dm (7)
It’s late in the day and I try to call you
Em Dm (7) Dm (7) Am
But no words I can say could ever surprise you
F (maj7) G (add9)
oh I’m trying to tell you
F (maj7) Em Am
Oh I’m trying to tell you
F C
Just how sweet and kind one woman can be
I’m one in a million
Roaming the streets.
Desolate children
Lost in a crowded place
Looking to find a familiar face
Get some space.
“goodlord”
G
I will run by your side
Bm
Till the earliest light
D D7
Wherever I’ll go, I’ll take you along
G
Over the hills
Bm
you will sure get your fill
D D7 G
Come hell or high water, I wont let you down.
G, Em, A7, C
::Good lord::
With a will of a heart
You can tear things apart
Put your hand in mine babe, we will get far.
Over the seas
We’ll be kissing the breeze
Come hell or high water, I wont let you down.
::Good lord::
With a sweet melody
I will guide you to sleep
Wherever you lay your head I’ll be there
Combing your hair
With ridiculous care
Come hell or high water I wont let you down.
::Good lord::
Gone
Em G
I don’t know what is right no more
Em G
my hands bleed and my back feels so soar
Am G
I would work and then I would get paid.
Am C
I would work but now something’s changed
C
Oh and now it’s out of range
D C G
All of it, all of it is gone.
I don’t know what to do no more
I don’t see the point anymore
I have worked hard for thirty something years
I have worked hard for all my life
Hard! They took away my pride
All of it, all of it is gone.
I don’t know who to trust no more.
Who‘re you with? Who you working for?
I have been good. I didn’t buy that boat.
I have been good. Succumb to greed?
No! Now I got mouths to feed!
But all of it, all of it is gone.
C C , Bm, Am
I’m swimming in the open sea.
Am
I hope someone will come after me.
G
I need a hand,
Em
I need a break,
C F D
I need a brand-new day.
C G
Someway.
I don’t know where to turn no more.
I’m waiting for that knock on my door.
Now I got debts. I’m in over my head.
Now I got debts no honest man can pay
Lord, help me find a way!
Out of it, all of it is gone.
The Silence of the Night
G
Oh the night air so still
C/G
but I can’t find the will
G G7
to crawl back in bed ‘fore the morning sun will
C G
Cause I’m lonely in the silence of the night.
C D7
Yes it’s lonely in the silence of the night.
Oh the hour is late
And I’m thinking of fate
and what a man needs to do to get out of this state
Cause I’m stuck here in the silence of the night
Yeah there’s no luck here in the silence of the night.
Oh the moon’s shining down
on this sleeping town
but all I can think of are reference sounds
and there braking the silence of the night
Oh I’m shaking in the silence of the night.
E7
Beautiful girl
F
Sleeps in my bed
C D C
but I’m here sitting on my own
Bm Em
I have no reason to feel so alone.
C
Don’t tell her how I feel
D7 G
She might think it’s all too real.
It’s a quarter to five
and I’m feeling alive
And I wouldn’t trade places with any other guy
Though it’s cold here in the silence of the night
And you grow old here in the silence of the night.
