Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
       Am  G   F   C

            C                G
Hey wake it up! Hey shake it out!
     F                                    G
Does anything still move you since you're educated now?
              C                  G
And all grown up and traveled so well
             F                                       G
Do you still hear the sound of the thunder while you lie up by yourself?

         Am            G                  F               C
Like you waited on his call and made your plans for great escapes
          Am           G               F                    C
And there used to be a movement in the way your dress would wave
          G
From your hips on down like electric through the ground

       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey

                   C               G
Now do you blow it out come Friday night?
           F                             G
See if you wanna, you can find me on the hood under the moonlight
    C                    G           
Radio [oh radio], oh radio [oh radio],
         F
do you believe there's still some magic left
    G
Somewhere inside our souls?

       Am             G                F                 C
Like I waited on your call and made my plans to share my name
      Am               G               F                    C
And I love the country movement in the way your dress would wave
          G
From your hips on down like electric through the ground

       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
[Sound of the cars rushing the rain on the boulevard]
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
[In this city by the sea that has always haunted me]
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey
[And belonged to me somehow. Bless your waters and your doubts]
       Am  G   F   C
Hey-ey ey  ey  ey

Howl

verse:
C
In my head
A
I am already gone
F
Side roads pointed up
C         G
Decisions decided on
C
But in my nights
A
There are restless hours
F
3 AM goes down
C         G
Nothing else comes up

chorus:
A
And the only thing we know
F
Is it's getting dark and we better go
C
And the only thing we say
G
Are the despairs of the day

A
And if you're too tired
F
Go to sleep, my brothers, I
C
And if you're too tired
G
Go to sleep, my brothers
I'm alright to drive

same again. cheers

Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.”

Verse 1 -

C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
Am
I remember like we were alive
C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws
C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb



Prechorus-

F                      G

I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Am        F                C                 G
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
      Am          F               C              G
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Am        F          C    G            C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?



Verse 2 -
        C
Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life
       Am
Better safe than making the party
      C
And I never had a good time, I sat my bedside,
     Am
With papers and poetry about Estella



Prechorus 2-
F                    G                   F             G

I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my whole life

I heard they got married, might have had a couple of babies
     Am           G            F            C
They traded their memories for Fairview and Acres,

Brothers and sisters, know that any time or late at night

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues

intro
Dm       Bb   2x

Dm
I'm all washed out by the side of the road.
Bb
Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose.
        Dm                                           Bb                       F
Saying "Baby honey child, I love you so long but you deserve much better than me"

Dm
So I'm just burning all around.
All the miles on the road.
Bb
And I'm never going back.
And I'm never going home.
Dm
I've been gone too long.
I've been less right than wrong.
Bb                             F       Bb   C
I've lost so much blood in the falling out

F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F
Until all I remember was burning away.
          Bb                     C        Dm
And all I remember, you burnt it away.

Dm
See for 10 long years I've been hustling around.
Bb
Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow.
Dm
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own.
Bb                                      F    
Just some rest for these tired working fingers.

Dm
But nobody's ever going to tear you away.
          Bb
You gotta figure it out boys.
                               Dm
It's all for the rain, and the fools in the night, and the heat in the day.
                  Bb                F           Bb   C
When all you ever really wanted was someone to understand.

F
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F
Until all I remember was burning away.
          Bb                     C
And all I remember, you burnt it away.
                          F
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
                Bb
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
                     F
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.

And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
                Bb                        F
You got Monroe hips, your poison lips and knives.

And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.

And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out.
         Bb
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house.
            F
Until all I remember was burning away.
              Bb                 C
And all I had left, you burnt it away.
                          F
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry.
                Bb
Cross your hard heart and hope to die.
                     F
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time.
                     Bb                        C

And stole the temple that the schoolboys praised

               C
You're getting drinks for the same boys

Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
            Am                                         F
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
        Am                                 E
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
          Am                                      F
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life

'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life

Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
                  C                                  F
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
                  Am           G         F
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?



      Am                              E
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?

See, I was playing a show down the road
                           F
when your spirit left your body
         Am
And they told me on the front lawn

I'm sorry I couldn't go,
      Am                                                     F

And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang

Am7      G
Sympathy, 
F                C
this is my best disguise.
   Am7                      G
My skin stepped out for my bones to dry up,
         F                   C        Am7   G
for the rest of the world outside...to see.
       F                C
You see I bleed on the side
        Am7                 G
It's a part time thing, a private affair
   F                         C
I try to keep it out of the light.
         Am7                C            F
I must confess, I didn't recognize you tonight
Am7                C     F
Dressed up like my love.

       Am7                       G
And I hate these things but I always attend,
   F                          C
a little sip of something to take off the edge.
      Am7                     G 
And I make my way through the ghosts in the room,
  F               C
trying to crack a smile.

    Am7                 G
And who you supposed to be?
F                     C
You look like heaven tonight
   Am7                 G
And me I'm a tomb, a corpse in a suit,
 F                        C
trying to look a little alive.

         Am7
Are you alright?

   C           F
I worry sometimes,
          Am7                 C     F
are you dressed up to take my life?
         Am7    C
Keep it coming, 
         F     
keep it coming,
         Am7   C
Keep it coming,
            F
Keep it coming.

      C
And I think I saw you for the flash of a moment,
      F
Your broken heart and the body that holds it
  C
I lost your scent in the flash of the party.
    F
The big bright lights, baby, constantly haunt me.
      C
I've never been right, have you ever been lied to?
   F
I think I just saw the same scars upon you.
     C                      F
But is this a disguise? A masquerade for me?
         Am7    F   
Keep it coming, 
          C     G
Keep it coming,
           Am7   F
Keep it coming,
          C     G
Keep it coming,

    Am7                 F
And who you supposed to be?
         C                 G
Hey you look just like my love.
    Am7                 F
And who you supposed to be?
         C                   G
Are you dressed just like my love?
     Am7               F
And who you supposed to be?
          C               G
Hey you look just like my love.
    Am7                 F
And who you supposed to be?
          C                   G         C
Are you dressed just like my love for Halloween?

G                           Em
You can tell Gayle, if she calls,
           C                          D 
that I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
G                    Em  C                         D
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
              Em            D           C             G
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school.
Em          D         C
I would've been her fool.
     Em                    D                 C              G
And I would've sang out your name in those old high school halls.
G                D               G
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

G                           Em
And you can tell Jane, if she writes, 
           C                                       D 
that I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.
G               Em   C                        D
That's total deceit, but she should've married me.
              Em           D           C             G
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor, 
    Em         D             C
bleeding out from all these wounds.
     Em                   D                 C              G
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.
G                D               G
You tell that to Janey, if she writes.

      Em         C         G                D
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
         Em       C               G     D   
that will cut you to ribbons sometimes.
     Em        C            G           D
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
     Em                     C               G   D 
and bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.

Em   C  G  D
Em   C  G  D
Em   D  C  G
G    D  G

G                           Em
You remind Anna, if she asks why,
       C                                   D 
that a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.
   G                                    Em
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,
   C                                   D 
goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.
              Em           D           C             G
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,
     Em         D             C
praying she won't cancel again tonight.
           Em           D           C             G
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
G          D                  G
You remind Anna, if she asks why.

G  Em C  D 
               Tell her it's alright
G  Em C  D 
               You know it's hard to tell you this.
Em  D  C  G  Em  D  C  G
                       Oh it's hard to tell you this.

Em  D  C  G   G          D               G
                Here's looking at you, Kid.

             F 
Baby really hurt me

                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm

Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#

                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave

I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
