Safer In The Forest - Love Song For Poor Michigan

Am
1978 - San Diego:
C
I'd just come out the other side of a relationship that blew up
F
I was angry, and disillusioned, and ultimately self-destructive.
I'd lost everything I believed in 
                             Am
I was as utterly, completely alone as I've ever been.
                         C
So I began going on walks.

(Just follow this pattern for the rest of the song) Am C F

Eight

Am           Asus2              F
My precious wife, I am in shambles
I am crumbling, I am

Am                 Asus2
Was it something I did
                F
Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up

Am          Asus2
I can fix it, I swear
F
If you trust me
       Am         Asus2              F
I am old and I am rusting but I care
I care


Am  Asus2  F


(same chords as previous verse)

My precious wife, we made a promise
Pledged our flesh to be one
How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children
I believe in it still
It has faltered and it has faded
But I know it's there
It's there

                  Am
And how'd it change
            Asus2
The way you thought of me
     F
How strange to think we once were lovers
Am                    Asus2
Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass
F                              Am
And when you speak my name you shudder
               Asus2                    F
My precious wife, believe I'll save this

I'll revive it, I will
Am            Asus2              F
We've built a family from this marriage
Why would you tear it apart?

Am  Asus2 F x2

Am
Speak now, precious
             F
Your silence screams

You're giving in to your failure
C                                                        Em
Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever
                         E                      Am
Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind

Am
Oh husband, I could not control it
F
Husband, I could not abstain
C
One cannot stop the wind from blowing
Em    E
Nor refuse the falling rain
Am
Love stirred up a storm inside me
F
Wrapped its arms around my waist
C            Em               E
I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry
Am
But there was nothing I could do
F
No, there was nothing I could do
C
Sure as the rain will fall
Em             E
Some love just fails

Am
There was nothing I could do
F
There was nothing I could do
C
There was nothing I could do
Em        E               Am
There was nothing I could do

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos
E7
  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

[Coro 3]
Am          F              C

Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)

De nada hablaré, que ya me voy

Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)

You Make It Real

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

            F                 C                 G

             F                C               G         E7   Am

             F                    C                G

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
