Go ask an old man, see what he's got to say
             A         B            C#m         
Don't as your teachers, they weren't much good anyway
              F#m      B        E           A
Nothing really matters, as time drifts on by

Its a drop in the ocean, a shot in the sky.

Go Ask An Old Man

Intro: G - D - G/B - Cadd9

G                      D
Did someone call my name
G/B              Cadd9                G
Like a distant drum thats beating
          D            G/B            Cadd9
or is it just another dream of long ago
G                        D
I dance again, I am spinning
G/B                  Cadd9      G
In the light, I am living
                     D    G/B                 Cadd9      
And I can feel the power, rushing through my veins



Bridge:
D                         Cadd9     
Once upon a time, I could do no wrong
D                              Cadd9    
Though the candle flickers, the flame is never gone


Chorus
G                 D 
To my brilliant feat
G/B                D
May they all pay heed
G             Cadd9      Dsus4     D        
I hear the crowd roar, oh so loudly


Second verse and bridge, then the second chorus is extended:

G                 D 
To my brilliant feat
G/B                D
May they all pay heed
G             Cadd9      Dsus4     D        
I hear the crowd roar, oh so loudly
G                 D 
To my brilliant feat

G/B                D
I make grown men weep
Em7             Cadd9      Dsus4     D        
And still my eyes grow, oh so cloudy

After the last chorus play Em7 - Cadd9 - D to finish.

G      D                   G
My my my its a beautiful world
C         D             G
I like swimming in the sea
C                 D                  Em
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
C        D                Em
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
C        D              G
I like swimming in the sea

I like drinking Irish tea
C                    D       Em        
With a little bit of Lapsan su Chang
C         D           G

V3
G      D                   G

C         D           G
I like driving in my car
C               D              Em
I roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far
C            D     Em
Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars
C         D           G
I like driving in my car

# Chorus/bridge
Em             C     D           G
All around is anger,  automatic guns
Em             C                      D                    G
Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
Em               C      D                 G
Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold
Em                        G
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week 
       C                   D
And he could not shake his coooooooooooold

V4
G          D            G
Still this emptiness persists
C               D              G
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
C                          D              Em
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
C                   D      Em
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
C                  D           Em
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
C            D               G
Yeah this is as good as it gets

V5
G      D                   G
My my my its a beautiful world
C          D           G
I like sleeping with Marie


C               D    Em
She is one sexy girl - full of mystery
C                    D       Em
She says she doesn't love me but likes my company
C              D                G 
For now that's good enough for me

V6
G      D                   G
My my my its a beautiful world
C          D            G
I like swimming in the sea
C                 D                  Em
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
C        D                 Em
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
C          D            G
I like swimming in the sea

Intro  - E - B - C# - G#m - A

Verse:

B                          C#
Driving through the south, no need to stop for gas
B                           C#
Thats all taken care of, by the gas man
B                             C#
Some of it is very beautiful, some of it has scars
B                       Asus2
and some of it is ugly, as a bigot in a bar
B                                   C#
Travelling through the south by car, me and Bonn and Charlie B
B                               C#
The night makes us stop, by the side of the road for tea
B                                              C#
I look up in the distance, a branding iron is stuck up in the night sky
B
It's in the shape of American, and it's in flames
Asus2
but I'm not sure why


Chorus:
         E-B-C#-G#m-A
Into the cornfields

We don't want to go

Bm7  A        E        F#m
I cried when she left town

Bm7  A        E        F#m
I knew why she was leaving

Bm7  A        E        F#m
My fault I cut the ground

Bm7  A        E        (1st riff from intro)
From under her feet

Bm7  A          E        F#m
Now I look at myself in the mirror

Bm7  A         E        F#m
It's hard to find me in there

Bm7     A         E         F#m

She Keeps Me Dreaming

Dm                   Am 
The lines are broken between she and I 
        Bb                                C 
But the road is as straight as an arrow 
F                                  Am 
We had walked in a beautiful forest 
                      Bb 
But after a while the trees grew thin 
                  C 
And offered little shade 
Dm                Am                                     Bb  C 
Now more than ever our lives move of their own volition 
  
F 
I sleep walk in the night 
I don't wanna, I don't wanna 
Dm 
I let the day decide 
I'm searching for, I'm searching for 
F 
I swim against the tide 
I only wanna,  I only wanna 
Dm 
Get to the other side 
You can always find me 
Bb               C 
Waitin for the right time 
               
   Bb                     C 
But I can't wait till the end 
 
Dm  Am          Bb     C 
You moved out of reach 
F         Am      Bb    C 
Slipped out of my hands 
Dm  Am          Bb     C 
I live in my dreams 
              Bb              F 
I have of you still holding me

Verse:

Em                                                 Bm
Well I loved the lone Ranger, and I loved that Dennis Law
           Am                      Em
Him and George Best, they sure knew how to kick a ball
Em                             Bm
I wanted to be a cowboy, and I learned to crack a whip
Am                                   Em
Stand up in that lonely street, two six guns on my hip
Em                                Bm
Along the mighty Beatles came, and everyone went ah
           Am                                  Em
They could play and sing and everything, and of course that John could draw
Em                        Bm
Well that was it for me, I never once looked back
Am                                  Em
Tricks to learn and waves to catch, I had a plan of attack


Chorus:
D                Am
Are you looking at me
Em
Are you looking at me
D                Am
Are you looking at me
Em
Are you looking at me pal


Same chords throughout.

I Wish I Was Still Drinking

G                          C9
Carpet stained with my red wine
G                        C9
I've been staring at the fire
G                     C9
I keep looking at the time
               G            C9
I'm waiting on you

G                      C9
I can hear the howling wind
G                        C9
Yes the sound is getting higher
G                       C9
As the night is closing in
                G           C9
I'm waiting on you

Into my life

Into my life

G                        C9
Won't you come in and sit right down
G                        C9
Here let me pour a Stolichnaya
G                        C9
Why is it when you come around

We drink until we get too tired

Even though you try to dance for me

                           C9
I still can't light up your fire
                   G       C9
So I'm waiting on you

You call me on the telephone
G                        C9
You say that I am always busy
G                     C9

So why am I here all alone
           G         C9
Waiting on you

I pick you up in my white car
G                    C9
I could fall ever so easily
G                       C9
Why you keep me hanging on
               G       C9
I'm waiting on you

Verse:
Em      D                 Em     C   C/B  Am
When I first set eyes on you
          Em          G                   D
First you beat me up, then you kissed me too
Em          D              Em      C   C/B  Am
We'd throw stone into the sea
               Em            G            D
There were no others there, just you and me
Em            D                 Em      C   C/B   Am
I crossed the bridge and down the lane
            Em           G                     D
I knew I loved you then, you said you did the same


Chorus:
C G       C            G
Oh Maggie, what have you done?
C                  G                            D
I should've seen it coming, and to your side I'd run
C  G       C        G
Oh Maggie, come to me tonight
C     G                                 D
I will wait up for you, make sure you're alright
Em       D    Em    C   C/B   C   Em  G   D
I miss you

Maggie

G              D
I can't get to sleep
F              C
I think about the implications
G		D
Of diving in too deep
F		C
And possibly the complications
G		D
Especially at night
F		C
I worry over situations
G		D
I know will be alright
F		C
Perhaps its just my imagination


Em                 D  
Day after day it reappears
Em                             D
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
B                     		C
Ghosts appear and fade away
D

G                 D
Alone between the sheets
F                  C
Only brings exasperation
G                     D   
It's time to walk the streets
F               C
Smell the desperation
G                       D
At least there's pretty lights
F                         C
And though there's little variation
G                 D
It nullifies the night 
F        C
from overkill



Em                 D 
Day after day it reappears
Em                             D
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
B              		C
Ghosts appear and fade away
D
Come    back   another  day


G              D
I can't get to sleep
F              C
I think about the implications
G		D
Of diving in too deep
F		C
And possibly the complications
G		D
Especially at night
F		C
I worry over situations
G		D
I know will be alright
F	      C
It's just overkill


Em                 D
Day after day it reappears
Em                             D
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
B                		C
Ghosts appear and fade away
B              		C
Ghosts appear and fade away
B              		C
Ghosts appear and fade away

Waiting For My Real Life To Begin

Verse:

G        G/F#         Cadd9
Don't go out in the night

G        G/F#         Cadd9
Even though you know the town

G        G/F#         Cadd9
someone always wants to fight

G        G/F#         Cadd9
You end up lying on the ground




Am                         F
I dream of lying in the sun

Am                   G
In my ears hear the ocean roaring

Am                        F
Like all good wayfaring sons

Am                   G        
Travel home and the rain is pouring

G
Soaks me to the skin, I duck into this public house and get shattered by the din.

And back to the intro/verse chords.

Wayfaring Sons

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

I wheel my bike off the train,

Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane

In every building, every streetlight

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

You can run away boy, but you won't go far

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

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 you wish you were someone else

and you wanna go out and kill yourself

ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
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]

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
