A                                           
Through the gardens and fields 'neath the tall green grass
         F#m 
You were walking 'neath the moon while covering your tracks
D                                          A
Working your fingers down to the skin and stone

F#m             C#      D               A
One hand on the hammer, one foot by the door
F#m           C#     D          A       E 
Pushed by the wind, fed by the need for moving on
D          A
Moving on to nowhere

A
When division runs deep and down into the well
         F#m
All the coins you dove after lost all their spell
D                                       A
Covered in moss walking for silver and blood

F#m        C#    D              A
Out in the cafe, working in the grove
F#m          C#          D          A
Guarding the port of the future you sold

E           D             A 
Holding on, holding on to no one
E           D             A 
Holding on, holding on to no one

F#m            C#      D                 A
One eye in the mirror, the other on the screen
F#m         C#           D            A
Sewn in the pockets and down into the dream
F#m              C#      D                A
Caught up in the mortar, bricks and heavy load
F#m         C#      D               A
Wait in the shadows down the living road

E           D             A 
Moving on, moving on to no one
E           D             A 
Moving on, moving on to no one
E           D             A 
Holding on, holding on to no one
E           D             A 
Holding on, holding on to no one

Maybe On Monday

C                                          G
Alberto hits his brother on the back of the head
                                 C
looks to the north as he starts to get up
                                                   G
his brother's still sleepy, grumbles "it's not light yet,"
                                                C 
"if you want a new life, what's a few minutes wait?"

                F                C
darkness on the road and over the land
           G                   C
into the laws and out of the hands
                  F
from those with so much
               C
and no show of heart
                    G
you'd think it'd be crazy
               C            G C G C
to ask for a small part


                                   G
spotted an eagle in the middle of a lake
                                  C
resting on cactus and feasting on snakes
                                         G
but the waters recede as the dump closes in
                                       C
revealing a whole lake of sleeping children

               F                        C
poison in the stream that flows to the sea
           G                        C
out on the waves that crash within reach
                 F
of those with so much
                 C
and so little to fear
                    G
you'd think it'd be crazy
                     C
to be so far away yet so near

some say a new day will shine here 
Dm            F                E        F
over these catastrophes and horrors of misfortune
               C
all across the wire

Alberto y Hermano on the coyote's trail
                         C
and dodging the border patrol
                                    G
out in the wastelands wandering for days
                                       C
the future looks bleak with no sign of change

                 F
darkness in the eye 
                C
and down in the soul
               G
all across the wire 
                 C
to those in control
            F
holding so much
                C
with no show of heart
                   G
you think it'd be crazy
                   C
to watch it all fall apart
F            G    C
watch it all fall apart

 G				D
Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
That forecasts storms on the gallup poll
C			G	D
Woke up from the nightmare news
Hoping to read a sign in the morning air

G					D
Nothing changes here and nothing improves
All say my friends who just want out
C		G		D
And leave these troubles behind
Scatter like paper in the eye of the storm
Documented with a silenced note
That's only heard from far, far away
G	D
C	G	D
G				D
More cards in play, following suit
Everywhere you look, you only see red
C		G		D
Wonder when to call off the race
Watching a horse running down its last legs
Just when you think it couldn't get much worse
Watch the numbers rise on the death toll
And the chimes of freedom flash and fade
Only heard from far, far away
B	D	G
B	D
G				B
I hear you can't trust in your own
Now the grey is broken in the early morn
And the words forming barely have a voice
It's just your heart that's breaking without choice

Everything you've learned is distorted in your head
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread
Staying up with the blue screen glow
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago

When the dread is flowing down my veins
I want to tear it all down and build it up again
Tear it all and build it up again
Hear your heart that's breaking without choice
I want to hear those chimes ring again
Ring again

G              Bm        C     G             Bm      C
When you can't find the hours Days keep on slipping thru
C/Am     G        D           C          G         D
Avenues under construction Blocking out your sky blues
G         Bm          C      G             Bm         C
Burried beneath the letters Bills and the junk in the mail
C/Am          G        D
Finding the strain to your heart 
C         G        C         G - C- G- C- G
From the troubles down the trail
G          Bm        C           G             Bm      C
No sign of your old haunts here Gone with the copper crews 
C/Am           G     D          C         G          D
Veins mind in vein remind you choices we choose to lose
G           Bm      C         G         Bm      C
New cities keep on sprawling Old towns falling too 
C/Am       G         D
Raining a river of color
C         G      C       G
And it's flowing bisbee blue
C            G    C    G
Straight to you bisbee blue       
      C                                         G
Some say you're this way's the only one that's true

(solo) Bm - C - G - Bm - C - C/Am - G - D

C         G     C     G    C        G - C - G
Bring me back bisbee blue bring me back             (run notes: B-C-C#)
D              B7                          Em
Oh these days seem dark darkest that I've seen
G/D    A/C#      G   Bm       C
Darling you send me thru the hours
G             Bm      C    C/Am     G        D
Days keep on sifting thru chipping away to remember
C         G    C      G    C       G    C      G
Days with you bisbee blue shining like bisbee blue
C         G     C     G
bring me back bisbee blue

          D               F#m
Well, I dreamt you were playing
         Bm                     G
An old guitar from a five and dime
             D            F#m
There was a song trapped inside
                   Bm
With the sweetest tune
                 G
You said it was sad to sing


A             Em            G              D
Where do you fall when you have nowhere to go?
A            Em           G              D
Where do you go when you have no one to see?
A           Em            G               D
What do you see when you have nothing to feel?
A            Em               G     D                
What do you feel when you're all alone?

D F#m Bm G

         D                 F#m
It's a song that circles round and around
        Bm                  G
Like a bird lost inside a cloud
                   D                        F#m
Cut off from the stars and they're guiding light
     Bm                      G
Not sure which way is up or down anymore


A             Em            G              D
Where do you fall when you have nowhere to go?
A            Em           G              D
Where do you go when you have no one to see?
A           Em            G               D
What do you see when you have nothing to feel?
A            Em               G     D                
What do you feel when you're all alone?


D          A
Tired of waiting
D                  A
Clouds will be breaking
D                 A
Soon you'll escape and
C               A                  D
Someday we'll find a place in the sky

Falling From The Sky

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

  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A

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.

when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A

when you get yourself depressed

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]
