D              A
Long afloat on shipless oceans
G            Bm
I did all my best to smile
D                 A
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
G              Bm
Drew me loving to your isle

-Chorus

D            C(9)
And you sang sail to me
G/B               D
Sail to me let me unfold you
Bm                   A          G
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you

Song To The Siren

Tim Buckley  - Song To The Siren - Uke

Bb          F
Long afloat on shipless oceans
Eb          Gm
I did all my best to smile
Bb                F
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Eb          Gm
Drew me loving to your isle
Bb        Ab
And you sang
        Eb
Sail to me, sail to me
Bb
Let me enfold you
Gm
Here I am
        F
Here I am
           Eb   Gm
Waiting to hold you

Verse 2:

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow

Verse 3:

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled at the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with Death my bride?
Hear me sing, swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you

Verse 1:

G#                    C#maj7
I lit my purest candle close to my

G#                    C#maj7
window hoping it would catch the eye

G#                 C#maj7

G#                       C#maj7
Before he came I felt him drawing near,

G#                     C#maj7
as he neared I felt the ancient fear

G#                          C#maj7

stories of old, I knelt to the hobo,

No, said the hobo, no more tales of time,

don't ask me now to wash away the grime,

G#                            C#maj7
I can't come in 'cause it's too high a climb,

Morning Glory

D
O I never asked to be your mountain
  C
I never asked to fly
  D
Remember when you came to me
    C
And told me of his lies
    D
You didn't understand my love
    C
You don't know why I try
        D
And the rain was falling on that day
    C
And damn the reason why

    D
The Flying Pisces sails for time
    C
And tells me of my child
D
Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache
   C
He begs for just a smile
     D
O he never asked to be her mountain
   C
He never asked to fly
    D
And through his eye he comes his love
    C
And tells her not to cry

    D
She says, "Your scoundrel father flies
       C
With a dancer called a queen
    D
And with her stolen cards he plays
    C
And laughs, but never wins
      D
O the child dreams to be his hands
       C
In the counting of the rain
    D
But only barren breasts he feels
        C
For her milk will never drain

G          F
As I die I can't remember
G       F
Where I saw the rain
         G
Could it be that her laughter
         F
Drove me down again?
         G
Charming dancer will you stop,
         F
Stop and talk to me?
         G
Is there someone else you feel
        F
In your dreams? you will, you see:
G
In midnight gazes
     F
I've found you far from me
       G
If you lead me on
       F
Please leave me down

  G
O Flying Flying Fish
       F
Please flutter by my door
    G
Yes you can drink my lies
   F
If first you read my eyes:
G
Each one is titled
     F
"I'm drowning back to you";
G
I can't swim your waters
    F
And you can't walk my lands:
    G
I'm sailing all my sins
        F
And I'm climbing all my fears
                  D   C  D  C
And soon now I'll fly

  D
O I never asked to be your mountain
  C
I never asked to fly
  D
Remember when you came to me
    C
And told me of his lies
    D
You didn't understand my love
    C
You don't know why I try
        D
And the rain was falling on that day
    C
And that's the reason why

      D
Sweet lover, will you come back
    C
And love me for a while?
D
Please take my hand
      C
Leave all your fears behind
          D
I've been gone too long
        C
Now I'm home to stay
D
Please don't leave me
 C
Again this way
D               C
Don't leave me again this way...
D       C         D
Sweet lover....O please...
C           D          C                      D
O please....O please...please.... please come home...
            C
Please come home...

I Never Asked To Be Your Mountain

Verse 1:

     Bm      A            G        Bm
If a fiddler played you a song, my love
   (Bm)  A          G   Bm
And if I gave you a wheel
          G           A         D     Em
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
          Bm   A      G
Would you spin for my love

Verse 2:

If I gave up all of my pride for you
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
Tomorrow I must go

Chorus:
G        A             Bm
And everywhere there's rain, my love
G    A             Bm
Everywhere there's fear

Verse 3:

If you tell me a lie, I'll cry for you
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh
If you tell me of all the pain you've had
I'll never smile again

(chorus)

Verse 4:

I can plainly see that our parts have changed
Our sands our shifting around
Need I beg to you for one more day
To find our lonely love

 Just like a buzzin' fly, I come into your life,

 When all the love was there.

Verse 1:
D                   Dm
She is the day that gives me time
C                  D
To live and linger love my life
D                        F#m
Till night comes on with sundown scythe
   G                A
To end the pause of pantomime
D / A / C                 D
        She is the day of love

Verse 2:
She is the bridge on which I wait
To watch the river 'neath me flow
All spinning, surging far below
Along the deep and bending straits
She is a bridge of love

Verse 3:
She is the air I breathe entranced
Awake or sleep in storm or calm
A wind to wash my lifted palm
A sky that calls me out to dance
She is the air of love

Bridge:
Bm                     F#m
She is the day through which I walk
G                           A
Toward the bridge where she stands
Bm               F#m
She is the air I breathe to sing
G                      A
She is a smile without demands

Verse 4:
She is a smile that keeps me warm
With matchless laughter, eyes ablaze
A mischief mystery she plays
Upon the flute of early morn
She is a smile of love
C                 D
She is the air of love
C                    D
She is the day....of love

She Is

Verse 1:
G                      Cm
Just for you with your open hands
F               G     D  G
Waiting for the touch of man
(G)                 Cm
Clutching with your blackened gloves
F                  G   D   G
You try to capture all the doves

That flee into

The forest before you

Verse 2:
You wish to catch and cage me now
I wonder if you remember how
Hard it was to say the names
Of mirror dreams and cheated games
And on the wall
You framed your first lover

Verse 3:
Your form intrigues me with the glow
I'll remember you I know
Though I forgot to lock the chain
Around you with a prayer for rain
To bring the call
To drive you back into my bed

D
Ahhh....
She turns away
Telling me to follow for a while
Ahhh....
She waits

Cm                  D
You'd be touched if you would touch
Cm           D
But you only reach and taunt

Will my taste stay grey and blue
F           G    D    G
If I try to turn from you

Am9                     Em7
Now you wanna know the reason
Am9              Em7
Why I cheated on you
Am9                Em7
Well I had to be a hunter again
Am9                     A
This little man had to try
                  Em7      D6
To make love feel new again
Em7
'Cause there's just a few things honey
D6
I'm not old enough to do for you
               Em7
And there are things, mama
D6                               Em7
You just never care to show me
         Bb        Em7        Bb            Em7
So this flim flam lover boy found him a flamingo
Bb       Em7       Bb               Em7
And his flamingo showed him how to tango
Bb             Em7           Bb                   Em7
And when they tangoed it'd send their hearts a flutter
Bb                   Em7
Tease them till they stutter
          Bb             Em7
Made them so young and tender
Bb         Em7         Bb        Em7
Sweet to surrender in so sweet surrender
Bb         Em7
In sweet surrender
Bb            Em7    Bb  Em7
Ahh sweet surrender to love

A                                                 Em7
But now you're gonna go out and get yourself a reputation
    A                                     Em7
But I'm gonna have to show you where to start
A                                             Em7
And then you're gonna bring back your little reputation
     A         Am7               Em7          D6 Em7  D6
And prove to me what I could not prove to you
Em7
'Cause I was just too young and hot
D6       Em7
I was just too cold honey
         D6
Just too hot to care
            Em7      Am7          A         Em7
Ah just too hot to surrender, surrender to love
          Am7      A         Em7
Sweet surrender surrender to love
                     Am7  A            Em7
If we could just surrender love would heal the mess we made
                           Em7
So give it up mama
It ain't gonna be no good to keep going round and round
Em7              D6
You hurt me then I hurt you again
Em7                    D6
All there's left to do is give it up
Em7      D6
Give it up and surrender
Em7                 D6
Sweet surrender Sweet surrender your love
To love... to love...

What would you like me to be?

        A            Bm    C#m
Shall I laugh, dance    or sing for you?

Sometimes I think about Saturday's child

Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me

Dm                              /G              /C  /C7
I've been for searching for the dolphins in the sea
Dm                  /G  	     /C		  /C7
Ah, but sometimes I wonder, do you ever think of me


C	        /C7               /Dm         /G
This old world will never change the way it's been
C           /C7         /Dm                  /G
And all your ways of war Can't change it back again
Dm                              /G              /C  /C7
I've been out searchin' for the dolphin in the sea

It's been so long, since you've been gone
Em                        G
I hardly know where to begin this song
    C                          Am           
Wherever you are, I hope it's not too far
            Em     G               C
For you to hear me,  it's been so hard
 C               Am                   
Lay next to me, cry please don't run
    Em                   G
But I wouldn't fight or carry a gun 
        C              Am               
I went far away,  to start a new life,

Your memory keeps haunting me 
   C                 Em            G
And I can't forget what time won't erase 
    
 C                            Am             
You know it's hard for me to come back now
          Em                        G
There's prison to face though the fighting is done
          C                   Am            
Where can I find you,  Daddy you have a son 
              Em      G                     C
That's never seen you,  he looks just like you 

  C                    Am                  Em             
I've sent this letter so many times, it keeps coming back:
         G                             C               
"No one here by that name."  Are you still in Quebec?  
             Am                                 Em    G  
Oh, it's so hard to keep warm through northern winter
               C | F /// C |
It's been so long 

    Dm                         C Csus4    Dm          
And I know I'd recognize your face, the seasons come
                   C                     Em           G
I can't let go and I'd know your sweet smile any place 
    Dm                         C   Csus4  C            
And I know I'd recognize your face (any time you know now) 
 Dm                 C             Em         
Anyplace, anytime, you know I'm still in love with you

And I know I'd recognize your face

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.

Chorus

Lazy Line Painter Jane

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, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name
