Lookin Out My Back Door

Due to the time period in which it was made and the resigned but somewhat angry feeling of the song, many see &quot;Who'll Stop the Rain&quot; as a thinly-veiled protest against the Vietnam War, with the final verse lyrics and its references to music, large crowds, rain, and crowds trying to keep warm, being about the band's experience at the Woodstock Festival in August of 1969. There is also a line during the song's second verse about &quot;five-year plans and new deals wrapped in golden chains&quot; that may indicate a general cynicism altogether about politicians.


G                      C                G
Long as I remember the rain been comin' down
G                         C                G
Clouds of myst'ry pourin' confusion on the ground
C                     G    C                  G
Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun
C             D               Em              G
and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain
G                            C                G
I went down Virginia seekin' shelter from the storm
G                        C                 G
Caught up in the fable I watched the tower grow
C                   G          C                 G
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chain
C             D               Em              G
and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain

G                          C                  G
Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more
G                             C              G
The crowd has rushed together tryin' to keep warm
C                   G        C             G
Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears
C            D              Em
And I wonder still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

The Midnight Special (Creedence Version)
Words and Music by Huddie Ledbetter - 1936
(Initially, single, slow strums of each chord)
D G
Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring,
A7 D
And they march you to the table to see the same old thing.
D7 A7 D
Ain&#8217;t no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan.
A7 D
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man.
(Now speed up tempo and strum continuously. All subsequent verses have the same pattern as
the chorus.)
Chorus:
G D
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7 D D7
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
G D
Let the midnight special shine a light on me,
A7 D
Let the midnight special shine a ever-lovin light on me.
G D
Yonder come Miss Rosie, how in the world did you know?
A7 D D7
By the way she wears her apron, and the clothes she wore.
G D
Umbrella on her shoulder, piece of paper in her hand;
A7 D
She come to see the gov-nor, she wants to free her man.
Chorus
G D
If you&#8217;re ever in Houston, well, you better do the right;
A7 D
You better not gamble, there, you better not fight, at all.
D7 G D
Or the sheriff will grab ya, and the boys will bring you down.
A7 D
The next thing you know, boy, oh! You&#8217;re prison bound.

Now, when I was just a little boy
C7            C       C7
Standin to my daddy's knee
   C7           C          C7
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you an'
C7         C       C7

And I can remember the Fourth of July
C7                 C        C7   Bb F
Runnin through the backwood bare
C7            C      C7         Bb F
Chasin down a hoodoo there (2x)

C7          C C7       Bb F
Born on the bayou (x3)

Wish I was back on the bayou
Rollin with some Cajun queen
Wishin I were a freight train
Just a chooglin down to New Orleans

Born on the bayou (x3)

And I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin through the backwoods bare

And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin
Chasin down a hoodoo there (x2)

Born on the bayou (x3)

Bayou Country 

Sweet Hitch-Hiker
			 
D				   G
Was Ridin' along side the highway, rollin' up the country side.
D				   G
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave, what you burn in your crazy mind?
D	     C	        G
Saw a slight distraction standin' by the road;
C		       A
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair;
D
Do you wanna, I was thinkin', would you care.

A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
			   G		D
We could make music at the Greasy King.
A
Sweet Hitch-A-Hiker,
			G
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

D				   G
Cruisin' on thru the junction, I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound,
D					G
Noticin' peculiar function, I ain't no roller coaster show me down.
D		  C	 G
I turned away to see her, Woah! she caught my eye,
C			A
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
D
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can it last.

CHORUS

SOLO during D  C  G  C  A  D

D					 G
Was busted up along the highway, I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
D					       G
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't you give a poor boy a ride?
D		 C      G
Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high.
C			  A
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast;
D
Do you wanna, She was thinkin' can I last.


Then repeat the chorus 3 times and fade out.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#

         D                 A                          
I'll confess tonight your all thats on my mind
        Bm            A                   D
I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

D                       A
Right now is all we have you better make this count

I think back to the nights I looked into your bright green eyes and you said,
    Em    A
lets run away.
D                             A                             Bm

D                    A
I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Fast Car

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
