[F]This here is the place where I will [C]stay in


There [F]isn't a number, you can call the pay phone


[C]Let it ring a long long long long [F]time


If I don't pick up, hang up, [Am]call back, let it [C]ring some more,  [F]Ohhhh[C]hhh...


If [F]I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder [Am]sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a [C]coil


       [D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


[D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


[D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


Ohhhh.....


There are [F]scratches all around the [F]coin slot


Like a heart beat [C]baby trying to wake up


[F]But this machine can only [C]swallow money


you can't lay a patch by computer design


[F]Just a lot of stup[Am]id, stupid s[C]igns


[F]Tell her she can kiss my [C]ass and laugh and say that you were [F]only kidding


That way she'll know that it was re[Am]ally, really, really, really me me

Baby, [F]instant soup doesn't really grab me


Today [C]I need something more sub, stop, sub, sub, substantial


[F]A can of beans or black eyed peas, some Nes[C]cafe and ice


[F]Candy bar, a fallen star, or a reading [Am]from Doctor Suess[C]


  [D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


[D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


[D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


Bridge:


(*During the bridge, Am and Bm are played as A barres, and the picking


pattern is like this:

The C below is picked in the same pattern, i.e. A str, D str, e str, B str*)


[Bm]The cat in the hat came back, [Am]wrecked a lot of havoc [Bm]on the way.


Always had a smile, never reason to [Am]pretend,


Their worl[Bm]d has flat backgrounds and little [Am]need to sleep but to [C]dream


The sidewinder [Em]sleeps on his back


[D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


[D]Call when you try to [G]wake her up, [C]call whe[G]n you try [Am]to wake her


D                    G            C       G         Am         C  Em (*)


Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

  The brakes have worn so thin that you could hear


  I hear them screeching through the door


  from our driveway


  Hey love, look into your parlor, honest heart


  letters there from you, been signed, this love, desire


  I've changed the locks,


  now at this gesture (question?)


  ??               ??


  Have we lost our minds?


  ??              ??


  Will this never end?


  ??       Bb Eb     Dm   Gm


  It could depend on your take


  You, me, we used to be on fire


  If keys are all that stand between


  Can I throw in the ring our gasoline


  Just fuck me kitten


  You are wild, and I am your possession


  Nothing's free,


  so fuck me kitten


  I'm in your possession


  so fuck me kitten

"NIGHTSWIMMING"


   Intro....


   G    B(note)->C


   G    B(note)->D


   Nightswimming deserves a quiet night...


   G    B(note)->C   D


   G    B(note)->C   A   C   D


  (over and over again for the whole song... the two lines above are played


for each line)


Nightswimming deserves a quiet night


The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago


Turn around backwards so the windshield shows


Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse


Still It's so much clearer


I forgot my shirt at the water's edge


The moon is low tonight


Nightswimming deserves a quiet night


i'm not sure all these people understand


It's not like years ago


The fear of getting caught


The recklessness in water


They cannot see me naked


These things they go away


Replaced by every day


Nightswimming remembering that night


September's coming soon


i'm pining for the moon


and what if there were two


Side by side in orbit


Around the fairest sun


A bright type could never drawn


could not describe, Nightswimming


You I thought I knew you, you I cannot judge,


you I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly, underneath my breath


Nightswimming


The photograph reflects every streetlight a reminder


Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen) (B-Side to "Drive")


They sen[Dm]tenced me to twenty years of bo[Am]redom


For try[Dm]ing to change the system from wi[Am]thin


I'm com[Dm]ing now I'm coming to rew[Am]ard   them


Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in


I'm gui[Dm]ded by a signal in the hea[Am]vens


I'm gui[Dm]ded by this birthmark on my[Am] skin


I'm gui[Dm]ded by the beauty of our we[Am]apons


Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in


I'd [C]really like to live beside you, b[G]aby


I love your bo[C]dy and your spirit and your cl[Am]othes


But you s[C]ee that line there moving through the st[Am]ation


I to[G]ld you I to[F]ld you I to[E]ld you I was one of tho[Am]se


You lov[Dm]ed me as a loser but now your wo[Am]rried that I just might win


You k[Dm]now the way to stop me but you [Am]don't have the discipline


How m[Dm]any nights I prayed for this: to l[Am]et my work begin


Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in


[Dm]I don't like your fashion business, m[Am]ister


[Dm]I don't like these drugs that keep you t[Am]hin


[Dm]I don't like what happened to your s[Am]ister


Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in  (chorus)


And I t[Dm]hank you for those items that you [Am]sent me


The [Dm]monkey end the plywood viol[Am]in


I pr[Dm]acticed every night and now I'm r[Am]eady


Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in


Rem[Dm]ember me, I used to live for m[Am]usic


Rem[Dm]ember me, I brought your groceries i[Am]n


It's Fa[Dm]ther's Day and everybody's w[Am]ounded


Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in

"Arms Of Love" (Robin Hitchcock) (B-Side to "Man on the Moon")

D                   D/G*                C                   C


Arms, into the      arms of             Love


(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.)


Maybe tonight you're cryin


Like a poor wounded dove


Tell me you'll soon be flying


Into the Arms, into the arms of love


Maybe tonight you're takin


You couldn't get enough


Honey you'll soon be wakin'


Into the Arms, into the arms of Love


(Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung


 verse.)


Maybe the world is falling


It wasn't strong enough


Tell me you'll soon be crawling


Into the Arms, into the arms of Love


(repeat to end)

"FRETLESS"


He's got his work, and she comes easy


They each come around when the other is gone


Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between


I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son,


The dye has been cast, the battle is won


The bullets were blanks, a double locked gun


I couldn't admit to a minute of fun.


And they come and they come and they come


I accept it with a gentle tongue


No words spoken, no ? kept


Take it, stomp twice, ring bell


Tether that ringing, freeze


Enough with the rifle and talk already


We all know what it means


Take this conversation to your great divide


I can only swallow what I ate,


And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her.


And they come and they come and they come


I accept it with a gentle tongue


No heart broken, no ? kept


Don't talk to me about being alone


Don't talk to me about being alone


Don't talk to me about being alone


Reach for each other before you leave


                                                                                   

Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E




Don't threaten me with a gentle tease,


Don't threaten me with angry


Please please please don't try to tell me what I am


And they come and they come and they come


I accept it with a gentle tongue


No words spoken, no ? except


Don't talk to me about being alone


Don't talk to me about being alone


Don't talk to me about being alone....


Ends on Em.

[Em]Monty this seems [G]strange to me, the[Em] movies had that[G] movie thing
[Em]But nonsense has a [G]welcome ring and [D]heros [C]don't come [Em]easy
  [Em]Now nonsense isn't [G]new to me, [Em]I know my head I[G] know my feet
[Em]But mischief knocked me [G]in the knees so j[D]ust [C]let [Em]go, [D]just [C]let [Em]go
  [Em]I saw the ocean [G]meet the man, [Em]I saw you buried [G]in the sand
[Em]A friend was there to [G]hold my hand, so [D]walk [C]on [Em]by
  [Em]So I went walking [G]through the stream, [Em]I saw you strung up [G]in a tree
[Em]A woman out there [G]said to me, said [D]hold [C]your [Em]tongue, [D]hold [C]your [Em]tongue
  [G]you Don't [D]owe me [C]anyt[Em]hing, [G]you don't [D]want this [C]symp[Em]athy (waste your breath)
[G]Don't you [D]waste your [C]breath (waste your breath) [D]for the [C]silver [Em]screen
  [Em]That nonsense doesn't [G]mean a thing, [Em]they tried to bust you [G]in a sting
[Em]But virtue isn't [G]everything so [D]don't [C]waste [Em]time
  [Em]Now Here's a rhyme that [G]you must hear, [Em]put this on your [G]reel to reel
[Em]Mischief through a [G]rotten deal, [D]Monty's [C]laying [Em]low, [D]he is [C]laying [Em]low
[D]Just [C]let [Em]go, [D]just [C]let [Em]go
  [G]you Don't [D]owe me [C]anyt[Em]hing, [G]you don't [D]want this [C]symp[Em]athy (waste your breath)
[G]Don't you [D]waste your [C]breath (waste your breath) [G]Monty this [D]seems [C]strange [Em]to me

  Hey love, look into your parlor, honest heart
  letters there from you, been signed, this love, desire
  I've changed the locks,
  now at this gesture (question?)

  Have we lost our minds?

  Will this never end?

   Nightswimming deserves a quiet night...
   G    B(note)->C   D
   G    B(note)->C   A   C   D
  (over and over again for the whole song... the two lines above are played
for each line)
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago
Turn around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse
Still It's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
i'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
The recklessness in water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replaced by every day
Nightswimming remembering that night
September's coming soon
i'm pining for the moon
and what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun
A bright type could never drawn
could not describe, Nightswimming
You I thought I knew you, you I cannot judge,
you I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly, underneath my breath
Nightswimming
The photograph reflects every streetlight a reminder
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night

[D]you have to go the [F]task in the [A7sus4]city
Where people drown and [F]people serve
[A7sus4]Don't be shy, your [G]just deserve is [D]only just [F]light years to [A7sus4]go
Me my thoughts are [A]flowers strewn, an [D]ocean storm may [Em]bury them
[G]I have got to [A]leave to find my [D]way
[G]Watch the road and [A]memorize this [D]life that passed [Em]before my eyes
and [G]nothing is [A]going my [D]way
  [D]   [F]   [A7sus4]        [G]   [D]   [F]   [A7sus4]       [D]The ocean is the [F]river's goal, the [A7sus4]need to leave the [G]water knows
[D]We're closer now, but [F]light years to[A7sus4] go
I have got to [A]find the river,  [D]Bergamot and [Em]bed of rose
[G]Run through my [A]head and far [D]away
[G]Leave the road and [A]memorize this [D]life that passed [Em]before my eyes
and [G]nothing is [A]going my [D]way
  REPEAT INTRO RIFF
[D]There's no one left to [F]take the lead, but [A7sus4]I'll tell you and [G]you can see
[D]We're closer now and [F]light years to [A7sus4]go
Pick up here and [F]chase the ride, [A7sus4]river empties [G]to the tide
[D]Fall [F]into the [A7sus4]ocean
River to the [A]ocean goes a [D]fortune for the [Em]undertow
[G]None of this is [A]going my [D]way
[G]There is nothing [A]left to grow but [D]ginger, mint, and [Em]indigo
[G]Coriander stem and [A]rows of [D]hay
[G]Strength and courage [A]overrides, these [D]privileged and [Em]weary eye
[G]River poets [A]search [D]naivete
[G]Pick up here and [A]chase the ride, the [D]river empties [Em]to the tide
[G]All of this is [A]coming your [D]way
REPEAT INTRO RIFF

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen) (B-Side to "Drive")
They sen[Dm]tenced me to twenty years of bo[Am]redom
For try[Dm]ing to change the system from wi[Am]thin
I'm com[Dm]ing now I'm coming to rew[Am]ard   them
Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in
I'm gui[Dm]ded by a signal in the hea[Am]vens
I'm gui[Dm]ded by this birthmark on my[Am] skin
I'm gui[Dm]ded by the beauty of our we[Am]apons
Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in
I'd [C]really like to live beside you, b[G]aby
I love your bo[C]dy and your spirit and your cl[Am]othes
But you s[C]ee that line there moving through the st[Am]ation
I to[G]ld you I to[F]ld you I to[E]ld you I was one of tho[Am]se
You lov[Dm]ed me as a loser but now your wo[Am]rried that I just might win
You k[Dm]now the way to stop me but you [Am]don't have the discipline
How m[Dm]any nights I prayed for this: to l[Am]et my work begin
Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in
[Dm]I don't like your fashion business, m[Am]ister
[Dm]I don't like these drugs that keep you t[Am]hin
[Dm]I don't like what happened to your s[Am]ister
Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in  (chorus)
And I t[Dm]hank you for those items that you [Am]sent me
The [Dm]monkey end the plywood viol[Am]in
I pr[Dm]acticed every night and now I'm r[Am]eady
Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in
Rem[Dm]ember me, I used to live for m[Am]usic
Rem[Dm]ember me, I brought your groceries i[Am]n
It's Fa[Dm]ther's Day and everybody's w[Am]ounded
Fi[G]rst we take Manhatt[F]an,[E] then we take Berl[Am]in

[G] For someone you're [F]dreamin'           o[C]f

D                   D/G*                C                   C
Arms, into the      arms of             Love
(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.)
Maybe tonight you're cryin
Like a poor wounded dove
Tell me you'll soon be flying
Into the Arms, into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're takin
You couldn't get enough
Honey you'll soon be wakin'
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
(Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung
 verse.)
Maybe the world is falling
It wasn't strong enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawling
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
(repeat to end)

"FRETLESS"
He's got his work, and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son,
The dye has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double locked gun
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no ? kept
Take it, stomp twice, ring bell
Tether that ringing, freeze
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate,
And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no ? kept
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
                                                                                   
{sot}
Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E
{eot}
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease,
Don't threaten me with angry
Please please please don't try to tell me what I am
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no ? except
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone....
Ends on Em.
