Beaches of Rio
Tom Pacheco
Innspilt med Steinar Albrigtsen på "Big Storm Comin'"
1993


C
He's a catholic priest in Rio
G7
in the shanty town heat

Taking care of young children
C
thrown out like stray cats on the street
F
Where the shopkeepers pay the police to kill kids by the score
G7 C
Just one more criminal who won't bother the rich anymore


And he walks through the slums
and the garbage dumbs each day at five
Hoping the twins he fed last night
might still be alive
Last week a child shot, two pieces was left at his door
Just one more criminal who won't bother the rich anymore


F C
On the beaches of Rio where the hotels lights shine
Am G
you can hear bossanova and drink Portuguese wine
F Am
On the beaches of Rio money perfumes the air
C G7 C
poverty is a nuisance, you pretend it's not there


There's a 10 year old prostitute
kissing a smiling old man
who could be her grandfather
except he owns banks in Japan
Her brother was murdered
for stealing some fruit from a store
Just one more criminal
who won't bother the rich anymore


On the beaches...


The catholic priest sees
a gang of small boys selling drugs,
working as runners for
big time Colombian thugs
If they get too smart
they wash up like dead fish on the shore
Just one more criminal
who won't bother the rich anymore

Vers 1
D Hm G
There's an old grand piano, alone in the heart of the desert
Em A
Standing upright in the shine of the full moon above
D Hm G
They say it was left there a long time ago in the 60's
Em A
By a man who had written a song to the woman he loved


Vers 2
D Hm G
Now it's falling apart from the sand and the heat and the decades.
Em A
Rattlesnakes live in the space by the rusty old wires
D Hm G
They say that the song was a hit, we would all recognize it
Em A
A beautiful melody only love could have inspired


Ref: D Em A
But love has a way of changing from sunlight to shadow
D Em A
Love has a way of changing from gold into tin
G D
And all that's left to recall what has been
G D
Is a song they know from L.A. to Berlin
Em A D
And a broken piano in the Arizona desert wind



Vers 3
D Hm G
There are those who have camped at the site of that strong wooden statue
Em A
Who says that it plays when the first morning sunray breaks through
D Hm G
They gaze at that sad instrument with the cactus beside it
Em A
A shrine or a tombstone depending on your point of view


Ref: D Em A
But love has a way of changing from sunlight to shadow
D Em A
Love has a way of changing from gold into tin
G D
And all that's left to recall what has been
G D
Is a song they know from L.A. to Berlin
Em A D
And a broken piano in the Arizona desert wind



Outro
G D
All that's left to recall what has been

(Intro:) G/// G/// G/// G///



(Verse 1:)
G
Now and then
C D G
Are two different places in time
Em
Now it`s today
A Am7 D
And then was when your love was mine
G
You think by now
C D G
My memories of then would be few
Am D
But somewhere between now & then
G
I forgot to stop lovin` you



(Chorus:)
Em
Now & then
C G
You come on like a freight-train in the night
Em G
Speedin` through the darkness in my dreams
Em G
And I walk into your open arms again
Em
We said goodbye
C G
Oh, but only on of us has let it end
Em A
Forever I keep holdin` on to you
Am7 D G
Every now & then






(Verse 2:)
I was sure
I`d find someone to fill the empty space
Now I know
There`s just some things that cannot be replaced
Like the love
The kind of love we felt when it was new
That keeps me lookin` back till yesterday
Back when I had you



(Chorus:)
Now & then........



Last time:Am7 D
Forever I keep holdin` on to you
Am7 D G
Every now & then

Now And Then

She Belongs To The Rain
- Steinar Albrigtsen

Tekst & musikk: Tom Pacheco

(Intro:) C/// Dm/// G/// C/// C/// Dm/// G/// C///



(Verse 1:)
C Dm
She reminds me of November
G C
In the steel-blue in her eyes
C Dm
It`s her soul I will remember
G
Wise and ancient as the skies



(Verse 2:)
She`s a traveller, she`s a gypsy
Passin` through and movin` on
And I knew when she was with me
She`s no singer, she`s the song



(Chorus:)
C
She belongs to the rain
C/H
She belongs to the wind
Fmaj7
She belongs to the storm blowin` in
C
She belongs to the stars
C/H
She belongs to the sea
Fmaj7 Fmaj7/G G
She belongs to the deepest of all mysteries



(Verse 3:)
I can see her in my memories
Staring out across the bay
Like a restless seagull ready
To rise up and fly away
(Verse 4:)
and the times we spent together
Was a magical romance
I was fortunate to know her
Not too many get that chance



(Chorus:)
She belongs........

Till The Morning Comes

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,

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty

the way you are leaves me counting the days

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 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

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
