# The song repeats itself from there

Where Do My Bluebird Fly

The song is originally in open D tuning, capoed on 6. My version is in standard tuning, in the key of C (as if it were capoed on 11). It should be fairly easy to transpose into the key you'd like from here.

It's not my flag up in the pole
So now he's buried by the lilies 
So I could stay forever more in your eyes, babe

I sense a leak inside my phone now
From all the lies I have told
I know he has your private number
And soon he'll make that vicious call

I know the leak is going to tell you 
There ain't now puppy in your leash
So now he'll fertilize the roses 
So I could stay the king you see

So now we're dancing through the garden
And what a garden I have made
And now that death will grow my jasmine 
I find it soothing I'm afraid

Now there is no need for suspicion
There ain't no frog kissing your hand
I won't be lying when I tell you 
That I'm a gardner I'm a man 
In your eyes babe
In your eyes babe

The Gardener

F
I never knew I was a lover,
Dm
Just cause I steal the things you hide,
Bbmaj7
Just cause I focus while we're dancing,
Gmadd11 F
Just cause I offered you a ride.
F
Still I am not from Barcelona,
Dm
I am not even from Madrid.
Bbmaj7
I am a native of the North folk
Gmadd11 F
And that can mess up any kid.
# CHORUS
Gmadd11 Bbmaj7
Well if you could reinvent my name,
Gmadd11 Bbmaj7
Well if you could redirect my day,
Bb Gmadd11 F
I want to be the King of Spain.

# VERSE 2
F
And I will settle in Pamplona
Dm
And I'll provoke the bulls with words
Bbmaj7
And then I'll send a man to meet them all
Gmadd11 F
Blood is fake so I have heard.
F
And all the senoritas sighing,
Dm
Will be the fountain of my lies.
Bbmaj7
But while we're floating in siestas
Gmadd11 F
You search for bottles and for knives.
CHORUS
INTRO
VERSE 3
F
And I wear my boots of Spanish leather
Dm
Oh while I'm tightening my crown.
Bbmaj7
I'll disappear in some flamenco
Gmadd11 F
Perhaps I'll reach the other side.
F
Why are you stabbing my illusion?
Dm
Just cause I stole some eagle's wings
Bbmaj7
Because you named me as your lover
Gmadd11 F
Well, I thought I could be anythin

Where the promise to lead what is right

Cause I know you wont count them.

No we have never grown a day from the poison we shared

And we're walking our crooked path home

            Am      F               Gsus   G
But will we ever confess what we've done?

But will we ever confess what we've done

Kids On The Run

Dm                G          C        F
   I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Dm             G              C       F
   Though I am nothing big to offer
Dm              G              C            F
   I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
          E                F            Gsus4   G
It's like nothing in this world's ever still

Dm                G          C               F
   And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
Dm               G             C         F
   But sun is setting, shadows growing
Dm             G             C       F
   A long cast figure will turn into night
          E                F          Gsus4   G
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps


Chorus:

   C             F              G        C     (C/B)
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
    Am             F        Gsus4   G
And why can't that always be
C       F              G        C     (C/B)
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Am          F         Gsus4   G
Just enough dark to see
N.C.
How you're the light over me

Dm G C F x2

Verse:
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old

Chorus:
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me

C F G C (C/B)
Am F Gsus4 G

Chorus:
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown

The Dreamer

The Gardner by The Tallest Man on Earth


Verse:
C                       Am      
  I sense a runner in the garden
F                                 G
  Although my judgement's known to fail
C                              Am     
  Once built a steamboat in a meadow
F                          G
  Cos I'd forgotten how to sail

Chorus: 
F             G                 C
   I know the runner's going to tell you
F             G                 C
   There ain't no cowboy in my hair
F             G                 C
   So now he's buried by the daisies
F                              G                 G
   So I could stay the tallest man in your eyes, babe

Jaja, okay okay
                  F
Ya sé qué pasa aquí
   A#                            C
Encuentras la grandeza frente a ti
             C
Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán
           C       F
Despierta ya, oye bien, 
           A#                   C
este como ves es Maui, de verdad
             C                F
Sé que como yo no encuentras dos
        A#          C
Lo que miras es un semi Dios

[Coro 1]
Am         F           C
  Yo solo sé decir de nada
        E7               Am
Por el mar, el cielo, el sol
                F            C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada
     E7                    C
Soy sólo un ordinario semi yo

[Estrofa 2]
C                                F  
Hey, ¿qué fortachón el cielo elevó?
                        A#
Cuando eras de esta altura, éste
C                  C
  Si la noche enfrió, 
                  F
¿quién fue quien fuego te llevó?
       A#          
¿Qué, alguien me nombró? 
C              C       F
  Oh, yo sólo lazo el sol
          A#                    C
De nada, para estirar tu diversión
          C       F
Brisa yo hago soplar, de nada, 
   A#           C
y así tus velas elevar

[Coro 2]
Am        F            C
  Yo sólo sé decir de nada, 
        E7                  Am
por las islas que traje del mar
              F                  C
No ruegues jamás, nunca más, de nada
         E7                     Am
¡Ha! Genial es mi manera de servir, 
    F
de nada, 
    C
de nada

[Parte Rap]
C
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
  Yo sólo puedo decir, de nada (de nada)
           E7              Am
Por el mundo especial que doy
                 F           C
No hay de que agradecer, de nada (de nada)
    E7                     Am
De nada hablaré, que ya me voy
          F            C
Te toca a ti decir de nada (de nada)
       E7             Am
Pues quiero esa barca ya
             F          C
Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar
              F                 C  F C
(De nada) De nada (De nada) de nada
         C
Y gracias

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets

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.

Arrows Of Eros

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’

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
