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

Chorus-
      Am          F               C              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

Chorus-
      Am          F               C              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 whole life
Am        F          C    G            C
Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you?

Great Expectations

Am           G            F          C

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

they never played no pinball or get out past the breakers

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

          Am                G          F          C
While the world closed it's arms on us now

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.
                     Bb                        C
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.

                   Dm                    F
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
                Bb                        F
You got Monroe hips, your poison lips and knives.
                   Dm                    F
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice.
     Bb                       F   (Bb  C    2nd time)
Open wounds and a young boy's pride.
[2x]

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 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
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night.

And stole the temple that the schoolboys praised

And the crowd shuffled in
               C
You're getting drinks for the same boys

         Em              D         C              G
            
And I'm amazed at all the stars beneath that old Hollywood sign.
          Em            D              C         G   
       
And we waltz, ballet up a boulevard to a place we never kept
          Em            D             C          G
         
And I'm not sure if we belong here, if I ever really left, or If I can go
  D    (long)
home.

And Sally said, Sally said.
             Em (one strum)
I can't take no more regret.
                C
It cut us deep, into our souls.
                  G                      D
Came and climbed into our bed.
                 G
And Sally said, Sally said.
              Em
Meet me by the River's edge.
                C
We're going to wash these sins away.
                G                             D
Or else we won't come back again.
          G - Em - C - G - D (repeat)
No retreat. No regrets.
              C              G             C (end)
Meet me by the river's edge.

Look Miles Davis, I've been swayed by the cool.
                                     A
There's just something about the summertime.
                                  E

So I'll lay a kiss on this storm, toss it upside your window, by the roof.

And you diamond soul shoes.

Climb on down from that window.

Climb on out of your room.

                 A                                 E
You move like a dream I had, woke up sweating in my room.
                 A                           F#m   
Your Mama's got plans, your daddy's aim is true.
                 A
She never understood that it ain't no good.

So now I got out my map and found me a storm.
                    F#m                         D
With a flick of the wrist and the turn of the key.

You'll just fall in my arms.

Miles Davis And The Cool

Am                              E
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
           Am            F               C          G
'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life




Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio? 
                  Am            G                  F
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?
           Am            
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
    E
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
      Am                                                     F
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
      Am                  F        C          G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
      Am                  F        C          G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang

Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night

Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Am               F        C        G
Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
Am               F        C        G

The 59 Sound

The '59 Sound

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

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

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?

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.

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Reflexionando en esto,

Beautiful Girls

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#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll 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 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

I'm going where the people know my name

Sovereign Light Cafe

Donde hay numeros en vez de acordes es porque no se
como se llaman esos acordes y pongo abajo como se hacen




F9/A Cm
Ya no sé donde fue,
F9/A C
con su luz tu verdad,
F9/A Cm
avanzar y no avanzar,
1 G
que loco remolino,

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves . . .

la maldad que hay allí . . .

solo estás en tu cruz,

oh déjame explorarte,
F4 C
solo extiéndete una vez más . . .
F4 C
extiéndete una vez más . . .

la canción de la sed,

como el agua se nos fue . . .

líbrame . . .

Oh! líbrame . . .

Líbrame de la galaxia

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves

lo que ya sé nos pasó

respirar y oxidar,

y olvidarse y no fumar . . .

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

exiténdete una vez más . . .

extiendete una vez más

extiendete una vez más

Nota: C B y
Am 2
eres mi esperanza
Am 3
solo una grieta en mi existir . . .
4
no somos solo hombres
5 6 7
y como fondo un cielo.

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

tal vez

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

Andar

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.
