Follow You Down To The Red Oak Tree

verse 1

C
sparrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass
Am                          F                          C
like worn leather boots, of colour and size that would last

C
caught them a lark in a trap, and each held a wing
          Am            F                             C
then they tore it apart, before that small bird could sing

C
confused by the wind, bruised by the size of the rain
    Am               F                       C
she turned in to him, begged for the light to remain
C
but plans have been made, all the furniture sold
    Am                F                              C
so store up your hate, use it for warmth when you're cold

chorus

F
for I have seen no joy, only danger,
C
I see no joy, only strangers,
G                               F
I see no joy, see no joy in this world
F
should you, choose to go, please be careful of,
C
lonesome roads, men who travel them,
G                                   F
will not know, will not know of your ways

F
oh-oo-oh 
Dm
oh-oo-oh
F
oh-oo-oh
Dm      F
oh-oo-oh
G

C C Am F for the Ahhhahh bit

chorus 2

F
still I have, seen no joy, only dangers, I
C
see no joy, only strangers, I
G                              F 
see no joy, see no joy in this world,

you should choose to go, please remember what
C
you have learned, from the little bird,
G                              F
always dear, always dear to my heart

Sparrow And The Wolf

Bm
From the woods, from the woods, they are coming from the woods
       G                       Bm
Riding horses cloaked in grey. Make their way, to my door
                               G
Lay their boots upon my floor, Wash their hands and start to pray
         Bm
But I am gone, I am not there. I have followed mountain bears
     G                     Bm
To a cave of deepest tome. There I wait, by the mouth
                            G
As the smoke it flushes out then I'll slowly drag one home


          D          F#m  Bm                  D          F#m     G
All these things are ever lost. Stillness has brought my love to cost


Bm
From the woods, from the woods, nce a vision from the woods
G                                      Bm
At a point between two tracks bound by tape, and by wire
                                   G
Bruised and beaten in the fire. So the metals faded black
      Bm
Newer ropes, stronger nets have us plumbing further depths
        G                             Bm
For the wolves we'll never be. Should we go, would we die
                                        G
If the weight it was to slide, drag our secrets to the sea

          D          F#m  Bm                  D          F#m     G
All these things are ever lost. Stillness has brought my love to cost

    D                              A     D                               A
And I taste the sulfur on my breath. And I see the blood pool on the step
    Bm                                            G
The moon so thick, the wounds so fresh and all is well....

         Bm                                                    G
From the woods, from the woods, they are coming from the woods!(Ahhh)
Bm                                                             G
From the woods, from the woods, they are coming from the woods!(Ahhh)
Bm                                                             G
From the woods, from the woods, they are coming from the woods!(Ahhh)
Bm                                                             G
From the woods, from the woods, they are coming from the woods!(Ahhh)
Bm                                                             G
From the woods, from the woods, they are coming from the woods!(Ahhh)
Bm                                                             G
From the woods, from the woods, they are coming from the woods!(Ahhh)

INTRO
-----
G#   C# G#


VERSE 1
-------
   G#
If this is redemption, why do I bother at all?
        Fm                  C#                  G#
There's nothing to mention,    and nothing has changed
C#                     D#                     Fm
   Still I'd rather be working at something,    than praying for the rain
     C#               D#               G#
So I wander on, till someone else is saved


VERSE 2 (same chords as Verse 1)
-------
I moved to the coast, under a mountain
Swam in the ocean, slept on my own
At dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
I'd remember all, the things my mother wrote


CHORUS
------
              Fm             C#               G#
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
             Fm              C#                 G#
And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
          Fm           C#                 G#  D#/G Fm
And never once has any man I've met been    able to love
   C#                  D#               G#         G#4 G#
So if I were you, I'd   have a little trust


VERSE 3
-------
Two thousand years, I've been in that water
Two thousand years, sunk like a stone
Desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
Trying to find a little bit of hope


VERSE 4
-------
Me, I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
Pages were folded; then there was nothing at all
So if in the future I might, need myself a savior
I'll remember what was written on that wall

CHORUS
------
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
And never once has any man I've met been    able to love
So if I were you, I'd   have a little trust

BRIDGE
------
D#m                         Fm
    Am I an honest man and true?
                           D#m
Have I been good to you at all?
                                 A#m
Oh I'm so tired of playing these games

We'd just be running down 
    G# 
The same old lines, the same old stories of
F#
   Breathless trains and, worn down glories
A#m
   Houses burning, worlds that turn
G#
   On their own


CHORUS
------
              Fm             C#               G#
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
             Fm              C#                 G#
And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
          Fm           C#                 G#  D#/G Fm
And never once has any man I've met been    able to love
      C#
So if I were you my friend
D#                                      G#
   Learn to have just a little bit of trust.

                 B
Half waist and high raised arms
                   F#
kicking at the slightest form
           C#m                    G#m
I remember my first love
B
I remember my first love

I remember my first love........

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F      C           Am     G
Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat
F           C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o
         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
