We're rocking big daddy
How bout that
How bout that
Here he comes again
Me and my friends
We all laugh at him
Cuz he's so funny
Warm and fuzzy

I went back to Boston
Back to the city of lost love
I went back to the place
And recognized your face in the stone long gone

I walked around Harvard square
All the runaway kids are still hanging out there
I took the red line a wrong way

We wait for the bus that's going to Bangor
In my plaid dress and burgundy shoes
In your red lipstick and lilac kercheif
You're the most pretty lady in the world
Sun

The bus driver smiles, a dime and a nickel
We climb on our seats, the vinyl is cold

Maybe they come by land
Maybe they come by sea
Maybe they've already come
Maybe they come by me
Slipping into the twilight
I ride the broken wave tonight
An old song on the radio
You knew a long time ago

Dog comes howling up behind you, sinks his teeth in your leg
Tells you how now things are going to be a little different
And he takes you down a peg
You make him ashamed for you, he buys you a new dress
Because you make him ashamed for you, he'd like you to took your best
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
So you change oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

If you had the real thing how would you tell
Liars can say it all just as well
Every single word you've heard in vain
Baubles of gold, stars in your hair
Reflections that told that they were not there
And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames
And up in the air they would write your name there
But love would fall to pieces in the rain

To the end of the Earth, I'll search for your face
For the one who laid all of our beauty to waste
Threw our hope into Hell and our children into the fire
I am the one who crawled through the wire
I am the one who crawled through the wire

There's a million sad stories on the side of the road
Strange how we all just got used to the blood

Driving and driving
Thinking about you
Keep the car in the lines
What else would I do
I look straight ahead
Lock all of my doors
So tired of driving
Don't wanna drive no more

Oh, my god, I cry in fear
Afraid you have forgot me here
Afraid you haven't gotten long
Your quiet dove and faithful son

I went to work, I worked all day
When I wanted to run, I stayed
I kept the promises I made

Took a walk around the block
Bought a candle it was
Flaming red flaming red
Thought a thought then
I forgot so
I sang a happy song
In my head in my head

We are swimming with the snakes
At the bottom of the well
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
But we are not snakes and what's more
We never will be
And if we stay swimming here forever we will
Never be free

Alright I'll need you
Now you know the truth
Sorry for how I treat you
I don't know why
I do the things that I do

Calling from the waves
Remember me your drowning daughter

She was a pretty good looking young girl
And she kissed me in such a way
But to get anything, she said show me the ring
The way they did in those days

Well I never thought too much about it
If I was the marrying kind
But any young man worth his salt or a damn

I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I know you don't believe that, but you're wrong
There's gonna be some rainy Sundays
Wishing one day, I'll see you again

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself
But I know you're headed somewhere else
And all the secrets that you keep will be, the things I'll never know

Oh heavenly day, all the clouds blew away
Got no trouble today with anyone
The smile on your face I live only to see
It's enough for me, baby, it's enough for me
Oh, heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day

Tomorrow may rain with sorrow
Here's a little time we can borrow

Well, I danced in the arms of a black haired girl
In Scollay Square after the war
And I drank to get drunk, and sank and I stunk
Like a drunk on a subway floor

And I never did marry Cathy O'Shea
She met another and they went their way
To the wind you're a toy

The Sunday after, there was laughter in the air
Everybody had a kite they were flying everywhere
And all the trouble went away and it wasn't just a dream
All the trouble went away, and it wasn't just a dream

In the middle of the night
We try and try with all our might
To light a little light down here

Good morning little god
I see you've come for me again
With a noose between your teeth
You are not my friend
Pouring little cups of tea
Humming a little tune
You sit across from me
And fill my little room

Capo 5

Yep E7 through the verses...

E7
Lets write a story of a tidal wave
We run out of luck, we run out of days
We run out of gas a hundred miles away from a station

"Mad Mission"

We were drinking like the Irish
But we were drinking scotch
Bartender turned on a movie
Everybody turned to watch
And every single eye was gleaming
As he reached the final scene

Mary youre covered in roses, youre covered in ashes
Youre covered in rain
Youre covered in babies, youre covered in slashes
Youre covered in wilderness, youre covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay, mary

Moon river, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day.

Old dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world, to see.

Don't bring me bad news, no bad news
I don't need none of your bad news today
You're a sad little boy, anyone can see you're just a sad little boy
That's why you're carrying on that way
Why don't you burn it all down, burn your own house down, burn your own house down
Try to kill your own disease
And leave the rest of us, there's a lot of us, leave the rest of us
Who wanna live in peace to live in peace

Well he jumps in the taxi, headed for the sky
He's off to slay some demon dragonfly
And he looked at me, that long last time
Turned away again and I waved goodbye
In an envelope, inside his coat
Is a chain I wore, around my throat
Along with, a note I wrote
Said "I love you but, I don't even know why"

I am not a bad man
I want you to know
I signed up when I was 19
Now 24 years old

There's ghosts that follow me around
Things I've seen and did
But I am not a bad man

Let's take a ride to the seaside
We can go out swimming in the high tide
Just wear your shorts and your long hair
Don't forget the lawn chair
Everybody's gone to the movies
Everybody's gone and its groovy
They went to the one about the big war
I didn't, I'd seen it before

Heaped from a snowy white mountain
Slipped down a snowy white hill
Came from a water fountain
Water was sweet until

Sunshine on a shiny ocean
Sunshine on a shiny bay
I opened a tiny shutter and

It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart
Beating close to mine
Pounding up against the stone and steel
Walls that I won't climb
Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep
You think that you're gonna drown
Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep
With all this rain falling down

Isn't she a river?
She doesn't need a diamond to shine
You can't really have her
But you can hold her for a time
Takes an army just to bend her, be careful where you send her
You can't hold her back for long
The river is just too strong
She's a river

Take the last of these roses
Hang them small and pretty on the vine
Tear em' by the roots from the walls where they climb
For all time
Take the last of my money
Search the corners of my pockets for the change
Take my best
Take my worst

Have you ever been baptized in the cool winter water

On a Sunday morning when the sky was gray?

You filed out of the churchyard, so cold it was silver

To gold, tan, and blue cars, and the cars drove away

Sometimes you fly so high
You really need to fall
You think you wanna die
You need to cry alone
You don’t feel anything
No sorrow no danger nothing
Someone was asking you
Where do you wanna go

Tomorrow night will you remember what you said tonight
Tomorrow night will all the thrill be gone
Tomorrow night will it be just another memory
Or just another song that's in my heart to linger on

Your lips are so tender, your heart is beating fast
And you willingly surrender to me, but darling will it last
Tomorrow night will you be with me when the moon is bright

I went up to the mountain

Because you asked me to

Up over the clouds

To where the sky was blue

All the ladies, on the lake they start to dance
Its been a long time, don't you wish you had the chance
What do you wish you were?
Do you wish you were the silence on the moon?
Nobody knows but maybe you will be soon

I used to think the sidwalk was the way
Always waiting for my lucky day

Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the waters getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

But if you break down

God is a wild old dog
Someone left out on the highway
I seen him running by me
He don't belong to no one now

Dropped him out on 93
Mange was setting in on his hips and on his knees
Between the highways running north and south

She sees him laying in the bed alone tonight
The only thing a touching him is a crack of light
Pieces of her hair are wrapped around and 'round his fingers
And he reaches for her side, for any sign of her that lingers

And she says you are not alone
Laying in the light
Put out the fire in your head

You can go wherever you wanna go
Go wherever you wanna go
Fly up to the moon and say hello now
You can go wherever you wanna go

You don’t ever have to go to war no more
Never have to go to war no more
Wear them boots and swim that icy shore now
