F see bb f
I once read the story of somebody's life I had a few moments to spare
F see bb f
He was a good man who lived with his wife with the usual kids in his hair
Dm g dm g
There was happiness a lot of weirdness and a sprinkle of tragedy

MY STAMP COLLECTION'S OUT
TURNED TO THE BELGIAN CONGO
IT WASN'T VERY LONG AGO
WE USED TO CALL IT THAT
MY COINS ARE IN THE DRAWER
THEY LOST THEIR VALUE LONG AGO
I TAKE THEM OUT FROM TIME TO TIME
THEY'RE WORTHLESS THAT'S FOR SURE

Pre>chorus
G em g em
And it shook me, it shook me up, it shook me up, yeah

G see em
I remember the way you looked when we first met

There are some things in this world you can't forget

Verse
See am
I've waited all night jumped all the red lights
F g
Dodged all the turnpikes took all the wrong rights

Pre>intro em am am7

G em
You stop in the old cafe where you used to play pinball
See am
And look for the air-raid shelter but it's gone and the cafe seems so
G em
Small and all the gardens that had trees and stolen apples

OH, I NEEDED THAT BATHTUB GIN
RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THEN
KNOCKED UP BY ENTHUSIASTS
WHO WORK IN SHIFTS WHERE THE AIR IS THIN
OH, I NEEDED THAT BATHTUB GIN
RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THEN

THE SHIPS GO OUT, THE SHIPS COME IN

The missionary's position is clear
Break them down
Converting the savage Panare
Break them down

And purge them of all of their sins
Break them down
Whilst making funds trading jaguar skins

WELL I LOVE IT WHEN THOSE DRUMMERS PLAY THE BRUSHES
I LOVE IT WHEN THEY STROKE IT LIKE A GIRL
LOVE THE SOUND OF SKYLARKS AND THRUSHES
AND I LOVE TO EAT THE OYSTER ROUND THE PEARL

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M WORKING IN A GARAGE
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M PUMPIN' GAS ALL DAY
IT'S JUST THE KINDA LIFE I DISPARAGE

Like no holding back you can get the main melody (riff) in your head
To play over over the intro chords, you're set.

Capo at 2 makes the transitions more manageable for
Solo guitar. chords mapped out as if they were open.

DREAMIN’ YES I’M DREAMIN’
I NEVER GET MY HEAD OFF THE CEILING
AT LEAST I’M NOT IN MY BASEMENT SCREAMING
I’M DREAMIN’ OF YOU WHEN I’M DREAMIN’

WALKING I’M JUST WALKING
I’M TALKING TO MYSELF WHEN I’M WALKING
I WANNA TELL YOU WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW

Pre>(e) a e d a d e
Uh, I had the time but I blew it, I had the power and I knew it
D a d e
Had the energy, but outgrew it, the identity but saw through it, yeah
E d a d e
I had the walk, but got trampled, had the taste, it was sampled
D a d e
Had the engine dismantled, had the flame, but no candle

WELL THERE'S A MELANCHOLY SKY OVERHEAD
ABOVE THE THREATENING TREES THAT ARE NOWHERE NEAR DEAD
THERE'S A RAIN THAT MIGHT NOT QUITE FALL
IN A DUSK THAT HARBOURS A WEARYING PALL

EVERY SATURDAY NITE
HAS ME HITTING MY PILLOW EARLY
EVERY SATURDAY NITE I'M TREATING LIKE SUNDAY

Pre>intro: d then briefly g a (4 times)

D g a
Another schoolgirl disappears
D g a
She's the twenty-third one this year
D g a
They're gonna search on the river bank

WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE WEARY
YOU SOUND LIKE A GIRL IN NEED
WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE TEARY EYED
JUST LET IT WATER A SEED
WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE PAST YOUR PRIME
REINVENT YOURSELF ONE MORE TIME
HIT THE ROAD WITH A BAG OF NAILS
BUILD A HOUSE THAT WITHSTANDS THE

They're drinkin' beer and smokin' grass
Am
There's a dumb chick with peroxide hair.

Just like a man, flexing his muscle and not really usin' it
Just like a fool, making her suffer And stuffing her feelings with cotton wool
Well, forgive him, forgive him

Just like a man, carrying a picture but seeing in the negative
Just like a fool, all double standards baby do this but never do that
Well, forgive him, forgive him, forgive him

Sit by my window and look outside,
Wonder why a sun don't shine on me
What's wrong with you, you stupid child?
Don't you think that I'm the one you're waiting to see?
Don't talk too much 'cause she falls for the soft touch
Makes her feel everything is secure
Don't ever leave a footprint on the floor

LOVE COMES WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT
FALLING THROUGH THE NIGHT'S SWEET RAIN
WHEN YOU PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
LOVE COMES TO MY HEART AGAIN

WALKING THROUGH THE STREETS AT MIDNIGHT
GIVES THE WORLD A DIFFERENT HUE
EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR COLOUR

D dsus4 d dsus4
I can see a man, well dressed and tanned
Bm g d a
Collecting you in secret in a long sedan

I STOOD ON MAIDA HILL
I THOUGHT ABOUT MY LIFE AND WORK
AND HOW THERE IS SOME MORE TO DO
AND HOW IT WILL END

SHE COULD BE WITH ME NOW
SHE COULD BE LYING IN MY BED
HER HAIR IN WAVES AROUND HER HEAD

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
When you put your arms around me, the doctor has to operate
We get so stuck on each other we just can't separate, too late

It's a miracle a minute, it's a miracle a minute, baby
It's a miracle a minute, it's a miracle a minute

Your touch fees like magic fingers on my head

One day there'll be a museum of stupidity
Where we can hang ourselves and throw away the key
Along with the attitudes of the pmrc
And this bullshit drug war full of hypocrisy
The banning of 2 live crew
They'll probably put 2 live crew in there, too
A museum of stupidity, oh yeah

(alright, let's do the museum piece!)

Elvis p. and jerry lee, .. (? ). perfect three (? )
Gather dust, an undercrust in cleveland
Everybody bows down to them
No one looks and says "hey, screw them,
Who cares what they did? let's kill a new band"

Someone called me from across the ocean

I GOT PAID IT'S ON THE DOCKET
MONEY IN THE BANK COINS IN MY POCKET
A CHI-CHI SALAD FILLED WITH ROCKET
BIT COINS A PLENTY IN AN E-WALLET
BUT ALL THAT STUFF JUST MAKES ME BLUE
WHEN I CAN'T GET NOTHIN' FROM YOU

I GOT BULLION IN A SWISS BANK

They say you was an old soul
They say a lot of things

They say you had your own goal
And pull a lot of strings

They said you was no class
That you was an iconoclast

Intro
See slide up to d (repeat) d see

I wanna walk out the door, I want to take the next bend
This makes the nuclear war seem like a personal friend
The whites won't let you live, the blacks won't let you forget
The Spaniards at the checkout counter just want to make you sweat

And the news comes second hand on the radio am band
And I'm caught in a traffic jam oh
I got too much time to think, too much time to think

That crazy shirt you wear
It's gettin'thin near threadbare
That ribbon in your hair
Made outta lace and it's bound to tear
Those ice-blue jeans you got
With the hole in the back
And the sunflower swatch
People are startin'to stare

You hit the spot send a heatwave through my brain
Another shot of an antidote for pain

When you're near I don't feel alone
