Pain Lies On The Riverside
--------------------------
): Am Dm :(
[Am]I have never taken [Dm]life
Yet [Am]I have often paid the [Dm]price
And [Am]you, you are a victim of this [Dm]age
And the [Am]guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me[Dm] locked up in a cage
You've got to [F]learn to [G]live until no [Am]end
But first you must [F]learn to [G]swim all over [E]again
Because [Am]pain lies on the [Dm]riverside
And [Am]pain will never [Dm]say goodbye
[Am]Pain lies on the [Dm]riverside
So put your [E]head in the water[F] [G]
Put your [E]soul in the water[F] [G]
And join me for a swim to[Am]night
I have forever always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized
I am aware now that the river's banks are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
I've got to learn...
Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)
-------------------------------------------
[Em]Heard a lot of talk about the ocean[D]
[Em]Heard a lot of talk about the sea[D]
[Em]Heard a lot of talk about a lot of thing[D]s
[Em]Never meant that much to me[D]
[Em]Heard a lot of talk about my spirit[D]
[Em]Heard a lot of talk about my sou[D]l
[Em]But I decided that anxiety and pain
Were [D]better [Em]friends
So I let it [D]go
Did you let it [Em]go? ([G]3x[D])
Let's get it [A]back
Let's get it [C]back to[D]gether[Em]
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love, a man of strength
But what a man was two thousand years ago
Means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now and right here
Let it go...
Beauty Of Gray
--------------
): Bm F# :(
[Bm]If I told you he was your [F#]brother
[Bm]We could reminisce then you would [F#]go about your day
[Bm]If I said you ought to [F#]give him some of your water
You'd [Bm]shake your canteen and walk a[F#]way
This [G]perception that divides you from [D]him[A]
Is a [G]lie -- for some [D]reason you [A]never asked [G]why
This is [D]not a black and [A]white [G]world
You can't [D]afford to be[A]lieve in your [C]side
This is [Bm]not a black and white [Em]world
To be [Bm]alive I say that the colors must [F#]swirl
And I [Bm]believe that maybe to[Em]day
We will [D]all get to appreci[A]ate the beauty of gray[Bm] [F#]
If I told you that she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
If I said you ought to give her some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dawn
This perception that divides you from her...
We will all get to appreciate...
The beauty of [Bm]gray[Em]
The beauty of [D]gray[A]

(7x) last time
Look into your eyes
No daylight
New day now
This is not...
Brothers Unaware
----------------
): Dm C :(
[Dm]So many [C]people
[Dm]I know only a [C]few
[Dm]Yes I may say that I love [C]this man and that man
[Dm]But what keeps me from [C]loving you?
[Dm]Date of birth, geogra[C]phy
[Dm]Color of skin, ide[C]ology
[Dm]You got ten fingers, two [C]legs, one nose
Like [Dm]me, just like [C]me
And it's as [Bb]simple as that you [A]see
And if I [Dm]don't know who to love I [C]love them all
And if I [Dm]don't know who to trust I [C]trust them all
And if I [Dm]don't know who to kill I [C]kill myself in[A]stead[Bb] [C]
From the mouth of a baby
Will come the world saving words
That will save us all
And from the lungs of a child
Will come the everlasting breath of God
Increasing peace and honesty
And not carrying on despite of me
Don't you know, this ain't about no race, no creed
No race, no creed
And it's as simple as that you see
And if I don't know who to love I love them all
And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all
And if I don't know who to kill no suicide
I'm already dead

Intro (4x) Under 1st verse (4x)
You say "hold on to the reigns"
I say "let them go tonight"
My brain waves
Confused between what is and ain't
She cries "groundless and free"
[Bbm]Tired of the [Ebm]water
[Bbm]Tired of the [Ebm]wine
[Bbm]Tired of the [Ebm]future
[Bbm]Tired of time[Ebm]
[Bbm]Tired of the [Ebm]madness
[Bbm]Tired of the [Ebm]steel
[Bbm]Tired of the [Ebm]violence
[Bbm]Tired of m[Ebm]e
[Bm]Used s[Em]teel
[Bm]Used steel am [Em]I
What was [Bm]pliable in [Em]love
Is now [Bm]hard and crystal[Em]ized
The [Bm]intellect is [Em]fine
For [Bm]counting money and re[Em]cording times
That [Bm]she cr[Em]ied "[Bm]groundless and [F#]free"
Tired of the water...

Bridge (4x)
I'm so [Bm]tired of [F#]time
I'm so [F#]tired of the [Bm]wine (2x)
[G]Hope is a letter that never arrives
Delivered by the [F#]postman of my fear[Bm]
Mirror Song
-----------
[E] [A/E]
e|-0----0--| B|-0----0--| G|-13---6--| D|-14---7--| A|-14---7--| E|-0----0--| (repeat throughout verses)
I know that I should think about giving
And think about helping out and think about
Think about living
But I can't seem to rescue myself (2x)
What about my [C#m]bank account?
And my [A]holy [B]desert [E]shield
That keeps me [G#]dry under the ar[A]ms
[B]Flags and mental jewelry's all I [E]know
And they keep me [G#]happy and warm in[F#]side
So I said unto this man who are you
And where do you come from
And he proceeded to tell me many things
But I said nothing at all
For the flower in the corner by the room
In the window and the sun
Said it all
But what about...
A (arpeggiate chords here)
At least they said they would
Said they [G#]could
Mama said they [A]would
Do me [G#]good[A]
I know that I should...
Waterboy
--------
[C#m] [A] [B] [C#m]What do you say to the [A]child
Whose [C#m]god is in the TV[A]
And [C#m]what do you say to the [A]man
Who [C#m]blames the world on [A]TV
[C#m]They don't even know [A]how to [C#m]sing my [A]song
But [C#m]they won't even [A]try it with [C#m]me[A]
[F#m]Who is standing over playin[G#]g like the teacher
[F#m]Harnessing the learned
Who [G#]try but can't leave her
I [F#m]want to beg the liars
To [G#]lay down their sirens
That [F#m]play like the angels
To [G#]my deep desire
[C#m]Free my son
[F#m]Let him walk right through the rain
[C#m]Free my son
[F#m]Make him waterboy
[C#m]Free my son
[F#m]There he stands down on the shore
[A]Free my so[B]n
What do you say to the man
Who treats her like a mother
And what do you say to the man
Who treats him like a father
Come and see my heart
Come inside and learn
Come and see my soul, it's like yours
I say it's just like yours
Who is making over
Idolizing princes
Banishing the dreamers
With barbed wire fences
And telling all the children who run to her feet
That they have no vision and love's all diseased
Free my son
Take My Anthem
--------------
War in me
War overseas
There ain't no difference between
[Am]Blood in [C]me[Am] [C]
[Am]Blood ove[C]rsea[Am]s[C]
There ain't no [Am]difference be[C]tween[Am] [C] [Am] [C] [Am] [C]
The [Dm]chills in your spine are oh so [Am]sweet
People [Dm]honor you so high
You've got to [E]defend the stage at your feet-- No!
[Am]Tak[C]e, [Am]tak[C]e, [Am]take [C]my anthem [Dm]today
Take it [Am]away
Hands on me
Hands overseas
There ain't no difference between
Heart in me
Heart overseas
There ain't no difference between

If you've ever known love

If you've ever known joy
Make sure that you are on time
If you've ever known war
If you've ever known pain
If you've ever said no
Make sure that you are on time

He said, he said, he said
There was nothing to fear boy
He said, he said, he said
Worthless are your tears boy
Just realize your senses
And realize your earth
Just realize your essence first
[Am]I'll never [G]be the [Am]same again
[Am]I want to [G]walk in the [Am]sun
[Am]I am a[G]live and [Am]well again
[F]No more bitterweet
No more [G]good pain
No more
So [Am]many of us stan[C]d in the m[D]iddle[C]
Looking [Am]back to the worst[C]
Looking [D]forward to the fall[C]
Making [Am]weapons of peac[C]e for the d[D]efense[C]
Of the [Am]bloodstains on our [C]peaceful side[D]walks[C]
You say the buildings are too tall
They're going to fry your brother
Well I say you'd better walk away
And find your mother
No more [F]bitterweet
No more good pain
If I can't sing this song
And tell you all about it
Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away
Don't even doubt it
So when our sherry glass is full
And the day is way too young
You'd better sip today before it's gone
No more bitterweet
No more good pain
No more [Am]good pain
No more [G]good pain
No more [D]good pain good pain
Mother Earth Is a Vicious Crowd
-------------------------------
): F#m E/F#m :(
Pollution, Cain, and misery
[E]Oceans of golden mystery
): F#m E/F#m :(
Armies boisterous and armies loud
[E]Portraits of a vicious crowd
[D]Talk to me, [A]talk to me [E]now
[D]Hey man you're [A]all that I [E]have
Me, Myself, Myself and I
Were born to work and born to die
I have chosen my anthems of these I am proud
Portraits of a divided crowd
Talk to me now...
Could you leave it behind...
Leave it all be[D]hin[A]d..[E].
10,000 Years (Peace is Now)
---------------------------
The [A]world is burning [C]down
Can't you [D]smell the [A]smoke in the air[C] [D]
[A]War, disease and fa[C]mine this [D]demon she is [A]everywhere[C] [D]
Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we got 10,000 years devoted
To nothing but tomorrow and yesterday
If all of the [F]ignorance in the world
Passed a second [A]ago
[C]What [D]would you [A]say?
[C]Who would [D]you ob[A]ey?
[C]I am here to say that
Peace is [A]now[C] [D]
Mr. President I hereby pardon you for your crimes
For they are just as much mine
Selfishness and seperation have led me to believe
That the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
