#This transcription is derived from a letter I received from Cheryl
#back in 1987 after I'd written to her asking for some help with this song,
#so I'm taking that as a pretty good indication of its accuracy.
#It's not 100% reflective of the version on the 1990 release of Circles
#& Arrows, since it's based on how she was playing it three years
#earlier, but it's pretty close, except for the fact that in the earlier
#version, the second chorus ended with slightly different lyrics:
#
#We tried from the beginning
#So I can't believe the end
#Don't let me hear you sayin' I am not your friend

#Hint: to go from the (Gmaj7/E) to the (A*), just keep your hand in position and

#(D)My old friend, (Gmaj7)you said to (Gmaj7/E)me

#(Gmaj7)You're ready to (Gmaj7/E)run
#Talk to me, (A*)can't you see

#(D)The things you think (Gmaj7)I should (Gmaj7/E)do
#I've never (A*)understood that (Dsus4)part of you (D) 
#I know I've tried (Gmaj7)to be your (Gmaj7/E)friend
#But you feel (A*)undermined and (Em)hurt (D/F#)again (G)

#(D)And I guess I said (Gmaj7)I couldn't (Gmaj7/E)see
#How things could (A*)turn out like they've (Dsus4)come to be (D) 
#If I lied, (Gmaj7)if I (Gmaj7/E)knew

#(A)She wants to grab her tele(D/F#)phone, but she knows it ain't (G)right 
#So if he won't (C)call, she'll sur(F)vive 
#And if he don't (Bb)care, she'll get (Dm)by (Dm/C) 
#Climb into (G)bed, bury her (C)head, and (F)cry(C) (G) 
#
#(A)From the beginning he was (D/F#)all anyone could have (G)been 
#(A)They were delirious with (D/F#)love, they were certain to (G)win 
#Now he's breaking (C)plans more and (F)more 
#And he's leaving (Bb)notes on her (Dm)door

#
#(A)She wants to be fair, she couldn't (D/F#)say he was ever un(G)kind 
#(A)But if she could bear to walk a(D/F#)way, she thinks he wouldn't (G)mind 
#'Cause he just keeps him(C)self so a(F)part 
#And there's no one (Bb)else in her (Dm)heart 
#So she's (Dm/C)taking a (G)dive from an emotional (C)high 
#And (F)coming (C)down (G)hard 
#
#(A)She's determined to try, but she'll still give (D/F#)in when he gives her a (G)call 
#(A)She'll ask herself why, but in the (D/F#)end it won't matter at (G)all 
#Sure, she could sit at (C)home, stay in(F)side 
#And sleep a(Bb)lone with her (Dm)pride 
#And as she (Dm/C)walks out her (G)door, she feels as weak as be(C)fore 
#With (F)nothing (C)to (G)hide

#During the intro and the first line of each verse, you should walk up from
#the (Am) chord to the (C) chord with a 5th string/2nd fret transition note.
#Also, during first and third lines of the two bridge sections, where
#I've indicated the asterisks, you should transition into the (Em) with a
#Am7-shaped sequence that slides down from xx4030 (*) to xx2010 (**).
#This is one of those instances where you should listen to the CD and
#you'll hear exactly what I mean.
Intro: (Am)(C)(D)(Gmaj7) 
I wish I could (Am)fa(C)ll in (D/F#)love
Though it (Gmaj7)only leads to trouble, oh I (C)know it does
(C/B)Still I'd (Am)fool myself and (Am/G)gladly just to (D/F#)feel I was
In (Em)love, (D/F#)in (G)love
I wish I could (Am)feel my (C)heartbeat (D/F#)rise
And (Gmaj7)gaze into some gentle warm ex(C)cited eyes
(C/B)And (Am)give myself as (Am/G)truly as an (D/F#)arrow flies
In (Em)wind(D/F#)less (G)skies
Oh, I re*mem**ber (Em)you in the (A7)TV (D/F#)light
Holding you (C)close to (G)me where we (D/F#)lay
And now I *wish **I (Em)knew some of those (A7)softer (D/F#)nights
Whispering (C)quiet(G)ly, feeling you (Am)turn (Am/G)to (D/F#)me
'Cause only last (Am)night in the (C)winter (D/F#)dark
I (Gmaj7)dreamed of how you loved in all your (C)innocence
(C/B)And I've (Am)never known a (Am/G)softer warmer (D/F#)feeling since
Or a (Em)tru(D/F#)er (G)heart
But maybe these (Am)dreams are (C)leading (D/F#)me
Maybe (Gmaj7)love is not as gentle as my (C)memory
(C/B)Maybe (Am)time and wishful (Am/G)half-remembered (D/F#)fantasy
Are the (Em)great(D/F#)est (G)part
Oh, but I re*mem**ber (Em)you in the (A7)TV (D/F#)light

GANDHI/BUDDHA

Capo II
Note: The (Am7)(Am7/B)(C) progression in the last line of the chorus is a fifth-string walk-up.
Intro: (G)(D/F#) . . . (G)(D/F#)
Feel this (G)wind blow, (Em)scatters all these (C)leaves like paper (D/F#)rain 
Feel these (G)days roll (Em)back into our (C)winter lives a(D/F#)gain

And when the (G)cold comes and (Em)you are by your (C)fire and fast a(D/F#)sleep 
I'll turn a (G)light on, to (Em)watch the snow out(C)side fall soft and (D/F#)deep 
And (Em7)when the winter (C)morning shines all (D)white and blue 
We'll (Em7)watch the dogs run (C)through the field like (D)children do 
CHORUS
Well I suppose (Am7)stranger (Am7/B)things have (D/F#)come to (G)pass 
Many's the (Am7)forest (Am7/B)I can't (D/F#)see 
I was so (Am7)down and (Am7/B)lost and (D/F#)fading (G)fast 
How did you (Em7)find your (C)way to (D/F#)me? 
I musta been (G)Gandhi or Buddha or (D/F#)someone like that 
I musta saved (C)lives by the hundreds (D/F#)everywhere I went 
I musta brought (G)rest to the restless, (D/F#)fed the hungry too 
I musta done (Am7)something(Am7/B) (C)great to (D/F#)get to have (G)you (D/F#) 
I musta done (Em7)something(C) (G)great


HOWL AT THE MOON

Capo II
This is a pretty simple three chord song.  In the body of the transcription, I'll
refer to the chords as (G), (C) and (D) for simplicity's sake, although they're actually (Gadd9),
(Cadd9) and (D/F#) and played as indicated.  You can, of course, play them in their
standard form if you like.
Gadd9: 32020x (or standard G: 320003)
Cadd9: x3203x (or standard C: x32010)
D/F#: 20023x (or standard D: x00232)
Intro: (G)(D)(C)(D)
If (G)I were maybe a (D)wolf or a dog 
I (C)wouldn't have to speak 
(D)Wouldn't have to talk 
Just (G)eat my dinner and (D)go for a walk 
And (C)ho(D)wl at the (G)moon 
And if (G)I were laying there (D)just like you 
(C)All curled up the (D)way dogs do 
I'd (G)dream that dream that you're (D)dreamin' too 
And (C)ho(D)wl at the (C)moon 
(C)Ho(D)wl at the (G)moon 
(C)Ho(D)wl at the (G)moon 
And if (G)I could carry your (D)black and white 
(C)Sleep so sound (D)wake so nice 
I'd (G)keep real close to my (D)own advice 
And (C)ho(D)wl at the (G)moon 
Oh, (C)you know something (D)I don't know 
(C)You go places (D)I can't go 
You (G)lift your head when the (D)breezes blow 
To (C)voices older than (D)time 
I'll (G)keep you close 
Oh, I (D)like you near

And (A)they leave their fingerprints (G)on their own (A)faces
Oh (D)how could you (G)say we all (A)started this (D)way? 
You (G)know I just (A)love little (Dsus4)kids(D)
Little (A)kids, get up (G)way before (D)me
Little (A)kids, leave a (G)trail of de(A)bris
And they (Dsus4)run through my (D)house
And they (G)torment my dogs
And I (A)surely do love little (D)kids (Dsus2)(D)


MRS. PINOCCI'S GUITAR

I've captured this transcription by watching Cheryl's concert video
What Do I Care I Don't Have Any Kids Construction Company Inc.
so I'm relatively certain I've got it right.  The only difference
is that she does it Capo IV on the video and does it two frets higher
on the CD.
Capo VI
Intro: (D)(A)(G)(D)
(D)Diane and (A)Billy (G)been friends for(D)ever 
They go back a (D/C#)long time 
They (G)grew up to(A)gether 
(G)She called to (D/F#)tell us 
He'd (Em)written from (D/F#)Rome 
For the (G)whole month of (D/F#)August
(G)He'd be at (A)home 
So (D)we went to (A)see him 
At (G)her house one (D)evening 
In the place where they'd (D/C#)spent all their (G)summers as (A)kids 
We (G)walked all a(D/F#)round 
In the (Em)small bay side (D/F#)town 
Where his (G)Dad's called the (D/F#)bingo for (G)thirty-five (A)years 
And (D)later on that (A)night 
(G)Under the (D)porch light 
Mrs. Pi(D/C#)nocci brought (G)her six-string (A)over 
She (G)said she'd been (D/F#)playin' since she (Em)turned fifty-(D/F#)seven 
And (G)now I guess (D/F#)she's more than (G)twenty years (A)older 
She (D)played Yankee (A)Doodle (G)we sang along (D)with her 
She passed it a(D/C#)round and we (G)all played a (A)number 
(G)Neighbors and (D/F#)friends dropped (Em)by for the (D/F#)singin' 
And (G)later a (D/F#)guy no one (G)knew came to (A)sit in 
For the (G)moon on the (D)water 
For the (G)light from the (D)stars 
Oh (G)I thank the (D)spirits 
What(Em)ever they (A)are 
For (G)friendships that (D)last 
And (Bm)songs from (A)the (G)past 
And (Em)Mrs. (A)Pinocci's (D)guitar 
(G)(D) . . .(G)(D) . . . (G)(D) . . .(Em)(A)
(G)(D) . . . (Bm)(A)(G) . . .
And (Em)Mrs. (A)Pinocci's (D)guitar 


ONE LOVE

I've had several requests for this song, but have never made a serious attempt at transcribing it
because – as Cheryl mentions in the liner notes to Mrs. Pinocci's Guitar – it's in a pretty
bizarre tuning: FGDGCD.  But I love a challenge, so here it is.  First, here's how to get to the tuning:
1. Turn the low E (6th) string up to F
2. Turn the low A (5th) string down to G
3. Turn the high B (2nd) string up to C (carefully!)
4. Turn the high E (1st) string down to D
I'm not exactly sure what the chords are called, but in playing around with a guitar in standard tuning,
they seem to be variations of chords in the key of C, so that's how I'll
describe them here.  There are some chords in the bridge section I just
can't figure out the name for, so for those, I'll just show the fingering.
C: x55000
C/B: x45000
F: x23000
G: 203000
G/B: x40020 
C/addE: x55040
G7: x0555x (This is really just a transition chord at 2:21 and 2:25 after the second chorus.
It's also the chord that ends the song.) 
In the second sequence of the intro, and in the verses, between the (C)
and (C/B) chords, slide the finger that's on the 5th fret of the 5th string
up to the 7th fret as a transitional grace note.  Listen to the CD and you'll hear what I mean. 
Intro: (C)(C/B)(F)(G) . . . (C)(C/B)(F)(G) 
Everywhere I (C)turn(C/B) everyone is (F)lost in this (G)thing
'Cause something feels (C)gone (C/B) 
Life is nothing like we (F)dreamed it might (G)be (F)(G/B) 
And we (C/addE)don't move (F)forward (G/B) 
(C/addE)Can't move (F)back (G/B) 
We (C/addE)hold our (F)hands out hoping (G)for that 
(C/addE)One love that's (C/B)all of it 
(F)Deep nights and (G)qui(F)et (G/B)days 
(C/addE)Long lovers, (C/B)old comforts 
(F)Feel like some (G)ball (F)and (G/B)chain (C)(C/B)(F)(G) 
I guess we're really gettin' (C)old (C/B) 
Always worrying we're (F)wasting our (G)time 
Wantin' somethin' new to (C)hold (C/B) 
Some affair would be the (F)perfect (G)crime (F)(G/B) 
(C/addE)Long roads (F)crumble (G/B) 
For(C/addE)evers fall a(F)part (G/B) 
One (C/addE)day we (F)don't know why we're (G)so far from 
(C/addE)One love that's (C/B)all of it 
(F)Deep nights and (G)qui(F)et (G/B)days 
(C/addE)Long lovers, (C/B)old comforts 
(F)Feel like some (G)ball (F)and (G/B)chain (C)(C/B)(F)(G) 
(G7)(C/addE)(C/B)(G7)(F)(G/B) 
And if (x22200)I want you and you want me 
(x03003)We'll call it (x02000)love though it (G/B)might not be 
(x22200)Hearts on fire, (x33300)souls in line 
(x03003)Oh just to (x02000)know that
(G/B)Just to (F)feel that (G/B)one more (F)time (G/B)(20305x) 
Seems impossible to (C)know (C/B) 
What is real and what is (F)just some restless (G)thing 
And our hearts learn (C)slow (C/B) 
All the miseries (F)bad choices (G)bring (F)(G/B) 
So is it (C/addE)wise or (F)lazy (G/B) 
Holding (C/addE)tight to what you've (F)known (G/B) 
And is it (C/addE)brave or (F)crazy searching (G)for some
(C/addE)One love that's (C/B)all of it 
(F)Deep nights and (G)qui(F)et (G/B)days 
(C/addE)Long lovers, (C/B)old comforts 
(F)Feel like some (G)ball (F)and (G/B)chain 
(C/addE)One love that's (C/B)all of it 
(F)Deep nights and (G)qui(F)et (G/B)days 
(C/addE)Long lovers, (C/B)old comforts 
(F)Feel like some (G)ball (F)and (G/B)chain 
(C/addE)(C/B)(F)(G)-(F)-(G/B) 
(C/addE)(C/B)(F)(G)-(F)-(G/B) 
(C/addE)(C/B)(F)(G)-(F)-(G/B) . . . (G7)

Intro: (C)(F)(G) . . . (F)(C) . . . (F)(G)
(F)Winter's voice had (G)barely spoken
(Em)Everyone was (F)bummed and broken
Hangin' on to (G)threads the way we (C)do (F)(G) 
(F)Shielding eyes from (G)TV screens
With (Em)African starv(F)ation scenes
And photographs in (G)magazines
Of (F)things that (G)can't seem (C)true (F)(G) 
Oh(F)Para(C)dise in troubled waters

(F)Spread the luck so (G)thin
Oh the (C)gross results and chain reaction
(F)Too late under(G)stood
(F)Leave us in embar(G)rassed silence
(F)Wishing that we (G)could
Make the (C)difference, see the light
Carry the (F)flag, lead the (G)fight
Save the (C)whales, save the seals
Save the (F)trees and birds and (G)fields
And save each (F)ot(C)her (F)(G) . . . (C)(F)(G) 
So we (F)read the news with (G)helpless eyes
And (Em)look for ways to (F)compromise
But mostly we just (G)do the best we (C)can (F)(G) 
Is it (F)just a part of (G)what we are
To (Em)want too much and (F)go too far
And contemplate with (G)no regard
What (F)we don't (G)under(C)stand (F)(G) 
Oh (F)Para(C)dise in troubled waters
(F)Situation (G)grim
And (F)we the (C)reckless sons and daughters
(F)Spread the luck so (G)thin
Oh the (C)gross results and chain reaction
(F)Too late under(G)stood

Save the (C)whales, save the seals
Save the (F)trees and birds and (G)fields
And save each (F)ot(C)her (F)(G) 
Oh . . . (F)Para(C)dise in troubled waters . . .
