Let Your Dim Light Shine

Grave Dancers Union

Soul Asylum is an american alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands H&uuml;sker D&uuml; and The Replacements.  Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as <span title="Unknown album" class="bbcode_unknown">Say What You Will, Clarence.</span>

Misery

Intro: [C][C]

1st Verse :
C                   C
 Call you up in the middle of the night
Em              Em
 Like a firefly without a light
Am                     Am
 You were there like a blowtorch burning
G                       G
 I was a key that could use a little turning
C                C
 So tired that I couldn't even sleep
Em               Em
 So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am               Am
 Promised myself I wouldn't leave
G                 G
 One more promise I couldn't keep

Pre-Chorus :
   F                G
It seems no one can help me now
        C                   Am
And I'm in too deep there's no way out
F                Em           G            G
This time I have really led myself astray


Chorus:
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em              Em
 Wrong way on a one way track
Am                      Am
 Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G                    G                G     Gx 
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there                E|----3---5---3---0------|


2nd verse :
C                  C
 Can you help me remember how to smile
Em                   Em
 Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Am                  Am
 How on earth did I get so jaded
G               G
 Life's mystery seems so faded
C                C 
 I can go where no one else can go
Em            Em
 I know what no one else knows
Am              Am
 Here I am just drownin&#8217; in the rain
G                    G
 With a ticket for a runaway train
Pre-chorus :
F             G
Everything is cut and dry
C              Am
Day and night Earth and sky
F        Em            G
Somehow I just don't believe it


Chorus:
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em              Em
 Wrong way on a one way track
Am                      Am
 Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G                    G
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bridge :
C>let ring         (C)
 Got a ticket for a runaway train

 Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am>let ring         (Am)
 Little out of touch little insane
G>let ring             G
 It's just easier than dealing with the pain


Chorus:
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em              Em
 Wrong way on a one way track
Am                      Am
 Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G                    G
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em             Em
 Runaway train tearing up the track
Am             Am
 Runaway train burning in my veins
G               G
 Runaway but it always seems the same.

&quot;Runaway Train&quot; is a song by the Minneapolis rock band Soul Asylum.  The song led Soul Asylum to international status, and helped bring their album, Grave Dancers Union to a multi-platinum level.  It was the third single off the album (see Soul Asylum discography) and reached No. 5 on the Billboard charts. It won a Grammy Award for the best rock song in 1994.  The song has become synonymous with the band, and has led many people to believe that it is the group's only hit, categorizing Soul Asylum as a one-hit wonder band.

&quot;Misery&quot; is a 1995 song performed by the Minneapolis rock band Soul Asylum. Although Let Your Dim Light Shine critically suffered in comparison to its predecessor, Grave Dancers Union, &quot;Misery&quot; managed to hit number 20 on The Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song also featured prominently in Kevin Smith's 2006 movie Clerks II.  Some people have speculated that the song itself is referring to the fact that the record companies like to make &quot;Misery&quot; (aka alternative rock songs with dark lyrics).

Intro- C Em Am G F
C Am F
Hoy encuentro tu imagen en el mismo lugar
C Am F
como en sueños inciertos te estoy viendo llegar
C Am F
ya no hay luz de escena, ya no estas
C Am
me sorprende tu voz y nuestra
F
historia de amor, en la melodia
C Am F
soñamos con cambiar el dia, la oscuridad, la cancion
C Em Am G F
pero nunca supimos amar
C Em Am G F
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
C Em Am G F
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Es de noche, hay silencio, necesito hablar
y una lluvia de invierno se quedo con mi soledad
el mundo podía desaparecer
mientras nuestra nabe volaba hacia nuevos lugares
buscabamos vida
tratamos de disimular, locura y propiedad
pero nunca supimos amar
un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Malicia en tus sueños, me hacias volar
tu cuerpo y el mio guardaron secretos
y una rara armonia
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
si tu amor no se murio, por favor, donde esta?
Un amor que se murio no puede lastimar
nuestro amor que se perdio en el mar

Buscabamos vida

D                                                     G
When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard
A                   
We all got balls and brains
G
But some's got balls and chains
D                         A            D      A
At the local dance at the local county jail
Bm                                  G
Load up load up load up with rubber bullets
Bm                                  G
Load up load up load up with rubber bullets
      Em            A           Em               A
Is it really such a crime for a guy to spend his time
       D                  A            D
At the local dance at the local county jail
       D                  A            D
At the local dance at the local county jail 
                                       Eb
What you gonna do about what you gonna do
E
What you gonna do about it what you gonna do

Verse:
D          Gm                D
 Never ending symptoms in my head
            Gm             D
We lay hollow in the emptiness
            Gm                     Bm
I'm too tired to push you from the bed



Pre-Chorus:
A#                 
 No more fighting
F
 No more fighting
Am               A#     
 No more fighting for us



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening



Verse:
D               Gm                    D
 No one's moving, we lack the courage to
                   Gm                  D
We lay in stalemate, wishing the other would
                   Gm                     Bm
But we're too tired, we're at the ember's core

 No more fighting
F
 There’s no more fighting

 There’s no more fighting for us



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening



Bridge:
Am       A#      Gm               C
 No more fighting, we've given up now
Dm            D#        A#
 Silence says more than words
Am     A#  Gm           C
 Imagination cures loneliness when
Dm            D#      A#
 You become a prisoner



Chorus:
F       Gm      D#  A#
Feel the void in our bed
    F      Gm       D#   A#
The space between is deafening
   F       Gm      Dm    A#
Oh we don't bend or break it

The space between is deafening

Space Between

F                    G      C      Am G
The world is treating me bad... misery. 

C               F
I'm the kind of guy,
    C             F
Who never used to cry,
                         G      C     Am G
The world is treatin' me bad... misery

C                     F
I've lost her now for sure,
  C                F  
I won't see her no more,
                G       C
It's gonna be a drag... misery

Am                           C           
I'll remember all the little things we've done
Am                                 G         G7
Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one.


C                F
Send her back to me,
       C            F
'Cause everyone can see
                   G     C
Without her I will be in misery


Am                           C
I'll remember ...


C                F
Send her back to me...

C                        F 
Back in the old folky days
Am            Em              D
The air was magic when we played
C                                   F
The river boat was rocking in the rain
Am                Em            D
Midnight was the time for the raid
G
Oh Isabella, Proud Isabella
Am
They tore you down and plowed you under
Bm                             C
You're only real with your makeup on
G                 D
How could I see you and stay too long

C                        F
All along the Navaho Trail
Am                  Em                 D
burnouts stub their toes on garbage pails
C                          F
Waitresses crying in the rain
Am                   Em                 D
Will their boyfriends pass this way again?
G 
Oh Mother Goose, she's on the skids
Am
the shoe* ain't happy neither are the kids  
Bm                        C
She needs someone that she can scream at
G                    D
And I'm such at heel for making her so bad

C                                F
I guess I'll call it sickness gone
Am                   Em                D
It's hard to say the meaning to this song
C                              F
An ambulance can only go so fast
Am               Em               D
It's easy to get buried in the past
C                                  F
When you try to make a good thing last
Am   Em   D

G
I saw today, in the entertainment section
Am
There's room at the top for private detection
Bm             C
To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
G                    D
But it's either that or pay off the kidnappers
C                          F
So all you critics sit alone
Am                    Em                        D
You're no better than me for what  you've shown
C                                               F
With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
Am                 Em               D
We could get together for some scenes

G
Well I'm up in T.O.  keepin' jive alive
Am
and out on the corner it's half past five
Bm                        C
But the subways are empty and so are the cafes
G                              D
Except for the Farmer's Market and I can still hear him sayin'
C                                  F
"You're all just pissin' in the wind
Am             Em             D
You don't know it but you are"
C                              F
And there ain't nothing like a friend
Am                           Em              D
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind

G
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
Am
he had a different story for every set of eyes
Bm                  C
How can he remember who he's talking to?
G                        D                        G(hold)
Cause I know it ain't me and I hope it isn't you

Ambulance Blues

Gm 
Hoje eu tive um sonho que foi o mais bonito 
Que eu sonhei em toda a minha vida 
Sonhei que todo mundo vivia preocupado 
Tentando encontrar uma saída 
 Cm              G            Bb 
Quando em minha porta alguém tocou 
 D7                          Gm 
Sem que ela se abrisse ele entrou 
 Cm         F           Bb          Eb 
E era algo tão divino, luz em forma de menino 
 Ab                   D7 
Que uma canção me ensinou 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
Tinha na inocência a sabedoria 
Da simplicidade e me dizia 
Que tudo é mais forte quando todos cantam 
A mesma canção e que eu devia 
 Cm        F         Bb 
Ensinar a todos por ali 
  D7                            Gm 
E quantos mais houvessem para ouvir 
   Cm            F          Bb        Eb 
E a fé em cada coração, na força daquela canção 
  Ab                        D7 
Seria ouvida lá no céu por Deus 
 G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            Gm 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 Gm 
E saí cantando meu pequeno hino 
Quando vi que alguém também cantava 
Vi minha esperança na voz de um menino 
Que sorrindo me acompanhava 
 Cm             F          Bb 
Outros que brincavam mais além 
   D7                         Gm 
Deixavam de brincar pra vir também 
   Cm           F          Bb        Eb 
E cada vez crescia mais aquele batalhão de paz 
 Ab                        D7 
Onde já marchavam mais de cem 
G 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                            D 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                            G  D#7 
La la la la la la la la la la 
 G#m 
De todos os lugares vinham aos milhares 
E em pouco tempo eram milhões 
Invadindo ruas, campos e cidades 
Espalhando amor aos corações 
 C#m           F#         B 
Em resposta o céu se iluminou 
 D#7                G#m 
Uma luz imensa apareceu 
 C#m               F#         B           E 
Tocaram fortes os sinos, os sons eram divinos 
  D#7                    G#m 
A paz tão esperada aconteceu 
  C#m           F#       B            E 
Inimigos se abraçaram e juntos festejaram 
  A                           D#7 
O bem maior, a paz, o amor e Deus 
 G# 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
                           D# 
La la la la la la la la la la

A Guerra Dos Meninos

E B
Yo seré lo que tú quieras que sea
C#m G#m
seré tu amante cuando tú lo prefieras
A E B
cuando revientes en llantos róbame un abrazo tal vez algo más..
E B
No te preocupes por quitarme la vida
C#m G#m
me la devuelves cuando tu lo decidas
A E B
y que no importe si el viento en otro momento nos vuelve a juntar...

A B E
y ya no estás arañándome la espalda,
G#m A E B
no me importa lo que hagas, si tu quieres vuelveme a esperar
(E-B-C#m-G#m-A-E-B)x2
eh eh eh...

G#m A (B-A)
Si vuelvo a sufrir ...!que me coman a besos!
A E A E
doy gracias por amarme, y por abandonarme
A G#m A B E
en lugar de tu amor escogí una luz para poder consolarme

Yo seré lo que tu quieras ....
Yo seré lo que tú quieras...

Por el momento y situacion en la cual escuche este tema me senti un tonto
he jurado no volver a cometer los mismos errores del pasado
es mi turno de recompensarte por todo lo que hiciste por mí
ahora yo te la dedico KaRyKatu my liebe....
