C#m-E-B-Gb
C#m-E-G#m

--Verse 1--

G#m     E                B
First I saw you standing there
         Gb                  G#m
Eyes so wild beneath your hair
          E                B
Coat worn blacker than the sun
            Gb                       G#m
Shook your head like Strummer strummed
              E             B
We stood like soldiers in a line
           Gb                   G#m
Heard the bells of midnight chime
               E                  B
We turned grey walls to fields of green
          Gb                     C#m
The only fate that we could scream

--Chorus 1--

C#m             E           B
Was while you're still young
          Gb                     C#m
Find your heart and find your song
              E       Gb
Now where have you gone?

--Chorus 2--

G#m
No matter where you're going
   Gb                          B
And no matter where you've been
                     E
You never needed anybody else's call now
G#m                       Gb                       B
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you
                       E                  G#m
Never met a one like you, don't bring me down

--Verse 2--

G#m       E                    B
There's a dream that haunts my nights
            Gb                   G#m
Of wild black horses out in flight
            E              B
The kind of free I'd never been
              Gb             G#m
A kind of beast I'd never seen
       E                 B
Why do all things end in pain?
                Gb                  G#m
I call the ghosts and ask their names
        E                   B
Is that love you're running from?
          Gb               C#m
If you lead then I will come

--Chorus 1--

C#m             E           B
And while you're still young
          Gb                     C#m
Find your heart and find your song
              E       Gb
Now where have you gone?

--Chorus 2--

G#m
No matter where you're going
   Gb                          B
And no matter where you've been
                     E
You never needed anybody else's call now
G#m                       Gb                       B
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you
                       E                  G#m
Never met a one like you, don't bring me down

--Interlude--

# G#m-G#m-E-E-B-B-Gb-Gb x2

G#m  E
Basta de cuentos
B            Gb
Es tiempo de lo nuestro
G#m   E                    x2
Tengo tu alma
B        Gb
Bien metida adentro

--Chorus 1--

C#m         E           B
While you're still young
          Gb                     C#m
Find your heart and find your song
            E           B
While you're still young
          Gb                     C#m
Find your heart and find your song
C#m         E           B
While you're still young
          Gb                     C#m
Find your heart and find your song
              E       Gb
Now where have you gone?

G#m       Gb        B             E         G#m
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, wo, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,
          Gb        B             E         G#m
Wo, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, wo, oh oh oh, oh oh oh,

--Chorus 2--

G#m
No matter where you're going
   Gb                          B
And no matter where you've been
                     E
You never needed anybody else's call now
G#m                       Gb                       B
I never met a one like you, never met a one like you
                       E                  G#m
Never met a one like you, don't bring me down

No Longer There

VERSE 1
C             C
Yesterday the sky looked sweet
Dm                       Dm
   when we dropped a big bomb at our feet
    Ab7              G7
and sometime soon we all might zoom
   F7                       Eb     E
to space and continue with another zoo

VERSE 2
C                 C
Work and pace for paper face
Dm                     Dm
   spend it wisely and keep it safe
            Ab7             G7
because the human race is a non-stop race
     F7                  Eb      E
with too many trials but no real case

PRE-CHORUS
Am                           Ab7
Something about this second, something about this hour
G7                           E
take away the money then the time becomes the power
  Am                         Ab7
a moment just to swim and to shower and to sing
       G7                         F            G
and to brighten and to dim and to sleep and to wander in

CHORUS
C       C        Dm      Dm
Nothing oh sweet nothing
Ab7                  G7

Yesterday I climbed a hill
     Dm                     Dm
then cycle down speedy on a great big wheel
Ab7          G7
feeling ill, laboured still
F7                             Eb    E
grinding and stressing in that giant mill

C           C
Drove a car stop and start
Dm                               Dm
round and round in circles never got too far
Ab7                     G7
running barefoot on the hot hot tar
              F7            
?cause if you stop then you burn
          Eb       E
then your feet get scars

PRE-CHORUS
Am                             Ab7
Something about this instance, something about this minute
G7                                E
striving for the future but don't realise that we're in it
  Am                       Ab7
A moment just to float, to ponder and to dote
   G7                     F             G
to dry and to soak and to take a little toke of that

CHORUS

            Verse 1:
Em                        G
This is a song that came upon me one night 
          Am
When the news it had been telling me 
       C                D
About one more war and one more fight
      Em 
And 'aeh' I sighed but then
     G
I thought about my friends
         Am
Then I wrote this declaration
         C              D
Just in case the world end
 


           Verse 2:
Our guns
Em             G
 We shot them in the things we said
        Am
Ah we didn't need no bullets 
         C            D
Cos we rely on some words instead 
Em
Kill someone in argument
G
Outwit them with our brains 
          Am
And we'd kill ourselves laughing
         C                D
At the funny things we'd say 



           Verse 3:
And bombs 
Em              G
  We had them saved for special times
          Am
When the crew would call a shakedown 
     C            D
We break down a party landmine 
Em
Women that so sexy 
        G
They explode us with their looks 
         Am
Ah we blowing up some speakers 
          C              D        
Jumping round till the ground shook 



           Verse 4:
And missiles
Em                   G
   They were the roadtrips that we launched
       Am
T-t-tripping across this island 
            C              D
Starting missions at the break of dawn
 Em
Yawn and smile say 
        G
What direction shall we take? 
Am
Somewhere where it warm and wet 
C                        D
This be the route we'd always take and 



           Chorus:
Am                      Em
  Our weapons were our instruments 
G           D          C
Made from timber and steel 
              Am
We never yielded to conformity 
      Em
But stood like kings

In a chariot that's riding on a 
   D
Record wheel

When the frisbee in the sky 
         Am
Have a session while we're smoking
             C           D
Now we're feeling extra high 
          Em 
And we'd sneak into a carpark
            G
With the skaties on our back 
            Am
And we're flying down the levels howling 
         C                D
On the attack now on the attack



           Verse 6:
And battles 
Em                   G
  They happened in these dancehalls 
           Am
See we'd rather fight with music
    C               D
Choosing one the rhythm war
Em
Battle at these shakedowns 
         G
And we battle at these gigs 
        Am
We do battle in our bedrooms 
            C                D
Made some sweet love to the beat 



           Bridge:
           Em
Then our allies grew 
     G
Wherever we would roam 
        Am 
See whenever we're together 
        C             D
Any stranger feel at home 
      Em
In a way we are an army 
          G
But this army not destruct 
      Am
No instead we're doing simple things
       C             D
Good loving find it run amuck 



           Verse 7:
Em
This be a declaration 
   G
Written about my friends
        Am
It's engraved into this song 
         C               D
So they know I'm not forgetting them 
      Em
See maybe if the world contained
 G
More people like these 
          Am
Then the news would not be telling me
       C                   D
About all that warfare endlessly and

 
          Chorus:

Am                      Em
  Our weapons were our instruments 
G           D          C
Made from timber and steel 
              Am
We never yielded to conformity 
      Em          
But stood like kings 
        G       
In a chariot that's riding on a 
   D             
Record wheel

Hello Hello

Dm                        Bb
Oh, I had nine lives but I lost all of them
              F
And I've been searching in the night
              A7
And I've been searching in the rain
           Dm
I tried to find them
          Bb
But they disappeared
             F
They walked away they dressed in black
              A7                    
They left my side and all I say
Is that I wasted time
When I looked for them
For now I know that things gone past
Are never to be found again
No never never again
I had nine lives
But lost all of them

I had a plan
But never finished it
And I've been searching for the thought
And I've been searching in a haze
I try all days
To remember it
But now the blueprint in my mind has gone
My mind forgot the colour of direction
And my eyes they see the hands
That could have built
That could have constructed
The empire in my mind
The empire
I'll never find
I had a plan
But that was where it ended

Verse:
    Dmin                          Fmaj
One day one woman asked him what do you to survive?
         Cmaj                           Gmin
He said "oh my dear, listen here." and this is what I cry
       Dmin                                Fmaj
On my feet, I wear two shoes for dancing, dancing to be free.
    Cmaj                                Gmin
My feet they're paying tribute to the Bobby Marley Legacy
       Dmin
and my knees they've got some cuts and bruises
       Fmaj
from a-skating all my days
           Cmaj
because a-when I'm skating with my friends
     Gmin
my troubles drift away. I say
    Dmin
my legs they're wearing baggy pants
          Fmaj
I like ta move around
                Cmaj
'Cause getting down and jumping up
                Gmin
These are some good things that i've found

Chorus:
                   Bb Maj

Dmin              Gmin      Cmaj
  boomshak got two shoes for dancing.


           Dmin
... and my waist has got a slinky belt
       Fmaj
with a clip that's quick to open
          Cmaj
because a'loving is the sweetest thing,
     Gmin
and from my waist is happens
       Dmin
and my stomach's got some tasty food
       Fmaj
that's makin' me feel good
        Cmaj
because sharing some meals is
             Gmin
some thing I wish the world could do

       Dmin
and my chest it wears a singlet
      Fmaj
oh my chest is beating proud
       Cmaj
oh my chest suggests I am a man
        Gmin
that no institutions will knock round
     Dmin
and around my neck is superstiton
Fmaj
hanging from a chain
             Cmaj
because i've got my gods, but in the end
      Gmin
I'll make my own way.

and my mouth it's got a great big smile
     Fmaj
that shows some great big teeth,
   Cmaj
to friends it brings happiness
        Gmin
and to enemies it brings defeat.
       Dmin
and my eyes have got some vision
         Fmaj
they can see through many lies
      Cmaj
oh my eyes they look for better things,
    Gmin
the better things to see in life
       Dmin
and my ears are wearing headphones
            Fmaj
they're to play my favourite songs;
     Cmaj
and not music i'm told to like
        Gmin
but the songs that make me dance along
       Dmin
'cause on my feet are shoes for
          Fmaj
shoes for dancing, dancing to be free
      Cmaj
oh my feet they're paying tribute to...

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Am
Reflexionando en esto,
C5
la madrugada pasó,
B5 / Am / G5 / F5# / Em
y dejó otro día para ser.

Beautiful Girls

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

Donde hay numeros en vez de acordes es porque no se
como se llaman esos acordes y pongo abajo como se hacen




F9/A Cm
Ya no sé donde fue,
F9/A C
con su luz tu verdad,
F9/A Cm
avanzar y no avanzar,
1 G
que loco remolino,

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves . . .

la maldad que hay allí . . .

solo estás en tu cruz,

oh déjame explorarte,
F4 C
solo extiéndete una vez más . . .
F4 C
extiéndete una vez más . . .

la canción de la sed,

como el agua se nos fue . . .

líbrame . . .

Oh! líbrame . . .

Líbrame de la galaxia

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves

lo que ya sé nos pasó

respirar y oxidar,

y olvidarse y no fumar . . .

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

exiténdete una vez más . . .

extiendete una vez más

extiendete una vez más

Nota: C B y
Am 2
eres mi esperanza
Am 3
solo una grieta en mi existir . . .
4
no somos solo hombres
5 6 7
y como fondo un cielo.

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

tal vez

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

Andar

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.
