Am                                                      
I'm not sure if there's a point to this story
             C              G              Am
But I'm going to tell it again
Am
So many other people try to tell the tale
             C               G              Am
Not one of them knows the end
Am
It was a junk-house in South Carolina
             C               G              Am
Held a boy the age of ten
Am
Along with his older brother Billy
             C              G                Am
And a mother and her boyfriend
D
Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos

That were given to him when he was young
Am
And a drunk temper that was easy to lose
          C               G                    Em         Am
And thank god he didn't own a gun

Am
Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck
             C               G                 Am
Took a minute to open his eyes
Am
He took a peep into the back of the house
          C                 G                 Am     
And found himself a big surprise
D 
He didn't see his brother but there was his mother

With her red-headed head in her hands
Am                                
While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest
C               G             Em          Am
Trying to choke the man

C     G    Em     G       F

Am     G       F   (x2)
Ah Ah Ahhh...

(same as the first verse)

Billy looked up from the window to the truck
Threw up, and had to struggle to stand
He saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer
Turn the priest into a shell of a man
The priest was putting up the fight of his life
But he was old and he was bound to lose
The boyfriend hit as hard as he could
And knocked the priest right down to his shoes

Well, now Billy knew but never actually met
The preacher lying there in the room
He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"
Then he knew what he was gonna do
Billy got up enough courage, took it up
And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find
It was a cold, glass bottle of milk
That got delivered every morning at nine

Ah Ah Ahhh...

Am
Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and
Am
He turned around and put the lock on the door
Dm
He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
E
His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
Am
He took a step toward the man on the ground
Am
From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound
Dm
He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"
E
And Billy said, "Not till I know what this is all about"
Am
"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"
Am
But Billy knew just who was starting the drama
Dm
So Billy took dead aim at his face
E
And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in 
disgrace, and
Am
The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the
Am
Boyfriend fell down dead for good
Dm
Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air
E
And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"
Am
His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and
Am
Pulled out an envelope filled with money
Dm
"Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears
E
"He's been paying all the bills for years"
Am
"Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees
Am
and put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"
Dm
Just then, his little brother came in
E
Holding the milk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing,

Am
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
Am
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
Dm
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
E
La la la, la la la...
Am
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
Am
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
Dm
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
E
La la la, la la la...
Am
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
E
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
Am
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
Am
La la la la, la la la la, yeah

Am
Well now you heard another side to the story
               C                      G              Am      
But you wanna know how it ends?
Am
If you must know, the truth about the tale
 C                         G           Am
Go and ask the milkman

# Chorus B-A-E and then G-A-E

These Stones Will Shout

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,

Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:

You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are

You can get a big house and a faster car

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

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.

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

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

Overreacting

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