[intro]

G G    C          D        G   G
   Outside another yellow moon
                 C           D
   Has punched a hole in the nighttime
G  G                   C           D             G   G
   I climb through the window and down to the street
       C              D
   I'm shining like a new dime

C C         D              D
   The downtown trains are full
C       C           D       D
   With all those Brooklyn girls
Em          Em     D/F#             D/F#
   They try so hard to break out of their little world

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Oh, be careful of them in the dark

And if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby now, can't you hear me now

G         G         C     C    G      G        C     C
   Will I see you tonight        on a downtown train
G         G          C  C            Am   Am   D             D       (G...)
   Where every night     is just the same;      You leave me lonely now

(Now) I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the fourway

You watch them as they fall
Ooh, and they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown

G     D    G   D    G   D    D   D

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where all my dreams just fall like the rain, all upon a downtown train

Have I Told You Lately That I Love You

C     Dm                             G                       C
I can tell by your eyes, that you've probably been crying forever
        Dm                          G                         C      C7
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing, to you they're a mirror

F              G                C        Em       Am
 I don't wanna   talk about it,  how you broke my heart
F                      G                 F                          G
 If I stay here just a little bit longer,  if I stay here won't you listen 
         Dm   G       C
to my heart,    oh my heart.
   
C    Dm                        G                              C
If I stand all alone, will the shadows hide the colours of my heart
C        
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears
        Dm                          G                         C      C7
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing, to you they're a mirror

F              G                C        Em       Am
 I don't wanna   talk about it,  how you broke my heart
F                      G                 F                          G
 If I stay here just a little bit longer,  if I stay here won't you listen 
         Dm   G       C
to my heart,    oh my heart

I Don't Wanna Talk About It

A                  Amaj7
Ever since I was a kid at school
A7                   D
I messed around with all the rules
Dm               A                E              A
Apologized then realized I'm not different after all
A                          Amaj7         A7         D
Me and the boys thought we had it sussed Valentinos all of us
Dm                      A            E                  A
My dad said we looked ridiculous but boy we broke some hearts


A                  Amaj7       A7               D
In and out of jobs runnin free wagin war with society
Dm                      A             E            A
Some blank faces stare back at me and nothin ever changed
A                    Amaj7             A7                     D
Promises made in the heat of the night creepin home before it got too light
Dm                A                 E                A
I wasted all that precious time and blamed it on the wine

A          D  E         A
I was only jo-king  my dear (my dear)
              D      E        A
Looking for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
A            D  E      A
What kind of fo-ol was I (was I)
               E
I could never win (never win)


A              Amaj7     A7                    D
Never found a comprimise collected lovers like butterflies
Dm                 A                E            A
Illusions of that grand first prize are slowly wasted
A                   Amaj7      A7             D
Suzie baby you were good to me givin' love unselfishly
Dm                       A
But you took it all too seriously
  E               A
I guess it had to end


A          D  E         A
I was only jo-king  my dear (my dear)
              D      E        A
Looking for a way to hide my fear (my fear)
A            D  E      A
What kind of fo-ol was I (was I)
               E
I could never win (never win)


A                 Amaj7       A7                         D
Now you ask me if I'm sincere that's the question that I always fear
Dm             A                    E                       A
Verse seven is never clear but I'll tell you what you wanna hear
A                    Amaj7        A7                       D
I'll try to give you all you want but givin love is not my strongest point
Dm                                A        E               A
If that's the case it's pointless goin' on I'd rather be alone
A                   Amaj7         A7                   D
Cause what I'm doin must be wrong pourin my heart out in a song
Dm                 A             E                   A
Owning up for prosperity for the whole damn world to see

A                   Amaj7       A7                        D
Quietly now while I turn a page Act twenty's over without costume change
    Dm                       A
The principal would like to leave the stage
     E               A
The crowd don't understand

Wake up Maggie I think I've got something to say to you
      A                     G              D
It's late September and I really should be back at school
  G                             G              A  
I know I keep you amused But I feel I'm being used
    Em                      Gbm     Em     A     A

    Em               A            Em                   A
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
     Em                  A                  D
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts 
 
 
   A                       G                  D 
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
    A                   G                       D
But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything
  G           D                  G                      A  
I laughed at all your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax 
     Em                    Gbm      Em     A      A

        Em           A             Em                  A
You led me away from home just to save you from being alone
    Em                     A                D
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without
 
 
A                  G                  D
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
          A                      G                       D
But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover you wore me out
 G                       D               G                      A
All you did was wreck my bed And in the morning kick me in the head  
     Em                    Gbm      Em    A      A 
Oh Maggie I couldn’t have tried any more  
    Em               A               Em                 A
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone 
     Em                        A              D
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I should collect my books and get back to school
     A              G                          D
Or steal my daddy's cue make a living out of playing pool
    G                          D         G               A
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand 
     Em               Gbm             Em    A      A 
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face

You made a first class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be

Across the street the river runs

Down in the gutter life is slipping away 
C#6                F# 
Let me still exist in another place, 
C#6                           G#         C#6
Running down under cover Of a helicopter blade 

C#6                            F#
The flames are getting higher, in effigy 
C#6                         G#
Burning down the bridges of my memory

Oh, rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum 
C#6                                        G#
with the words "I Love you" rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam, for I know my place is home

Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing 

C#6             F#
Photographs and kerosene
C#6                  G#
light up my darkness,light it up, light it up 
C#6                        F#     
I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans 
C#6                                      G#            C#6
Running down the alley, I've got my eyes all over you, baby, Oh, baby

Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing  (I'll be sailing) 

...Oh, yeah... 

C#6                       F#
Oh, I've got lightning in my veins,
C#6                         G#  
shifting like the handle of a slot machine 
C#6                   F#
Love may still exist, in another place. 
C#6                               G#               C#6
I'm just yanking back the handle, no expression on my face.

A               D
Some guys have all the luck
          Bm
Some guys have all the pain
          G
Some guys get all the breaks
          A
Some guys did nothing but complain

D
Alone in a crowd on a bus after work
      Bm
and I'm dreaming
G
The guy next to me has a girl in his arms
       A
My arms are empty

D
How does it feel when the girl next to you
       Bm
says she loves you
G
It seem so unfair when there's love everywhere
        A
but there's none for me

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys did nothing but complain

Someone to take on a walk by the lake
Lord let it be me
Someone who's shy
Someone who'll cry at sad movies
I know I would die if I ever found out
she was fooling me
You're just a dream and as real as it seems
I ain't that lucky

Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys did nothing but complain

All of my friends have a ring on their finger
They have someone
Someone to care for them it ain't fair
I got no one
The car overheated
I called up and pleaded
There's help on the way
I called you collect you didn't accept
You had nothing to say


Some guys have all the luck
Some guys have all the pain
Some guys get all the breaks
Some guys did nothing but complain

But if you were here with me
I'd feel so happy I could cry
You are so dear to me
I just can't let you say goodbye

Some Guys Have All The Luck

Verse 1
         D           D/G             D/A          D
     You ask me if I love you, and I choke on my reply.
     F#M             BM             E                  A
I'd rather hurt you honestly, than mislead you with a lie
     EM           A           D               BM
And who am I to judge you on what you say or do
  G            F#/D         E        F#   A
I'm only just beginning to see the real you.

Chorus
       D                   D/G        A             F#M
     And sometimes when we touch. The honesty's too much
  BM       E                      A
And I have to close my eyes, and hide.
     D                   D/G           A                F#/A
I wanna hold you till I die, till we both break down, and cry.
      EM                      A          D
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides.

Verse2
       D                 D/G              D/A             D
     Romance in all its strategy has me battling with my pride
  F#M             BM              E           A
  But though the insecurity some tenderness survies
     EM            A             D                BM
  Im just another writer still trapped with in my truths
       G           F#/D               E  F#         A
  A hesitant prize fighter still trapped with in my youth.

Chorus
       D                D/G           A           F#M
    And sometimes when we touch the honestys too much
      BM      E                       A
    and I have to close my eyes, and hide
        D                   D/G          A              F#A
    I wanna hold you till I die till we both breakdown, and cry
         EM                    A           D
    I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Bridge
        A                   A            A             D
    At times Id like to hold you and drive you to your knees
      BM                 F#M                G         A
   at times Id like to break through, and hold you endlessly
        D              D/G          D/A                D
    at times I understand you, and I know how hard you try
        F#M             BM                      E                     A
    Ive watched while love commands you and Ive watched love pass you by
         EM                A               D               BM
    At times I think were drifters, still searching for a friend
        G            F#D               E        F#     A
    a brother or a sister, but then the passion flares again.

    Repeat chorus.

Sometimes When We Touch

Unplugged and Seated Album


Intro: C/Dm/C/F/C/C/D/D7/G/G7

F                       C
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
      Dm          G       C-G-C
I've got what I paid for now
F                      C
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
   D                    G
A couple of bucks from you to go
C            G        C          G      C          G
Waltzing Matilda,   waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Dm            G
Matilda with me

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English and everything's broken
And my strength is soaking away to go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me

Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I've kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman with a cold blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me

No, I don't want your sympathy
The fugitives say, that the streets ain't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you'll go waltzing
Matilda with me


And it's a battered old suitcase
To a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No primadonnas, the perfume is on
        Dm             G
An old shirt that is stained

G7     C    G    C
With blood and whiskey
           F
And it's good-night to the street-sweepers,
            C
The nightwatchmen, flame-keepers
      Dm        G  G7  C
And goodnight matilda, too

Tom Trauberts Blues

D     G 
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
       A                          D
But to settle down and write you a line
          G
I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota
A                          D
Hell it's been a very long time

            A
You wear it well
 Em          D             G          A
A little old fashioned but that's all right

D        G 
Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking
      A                          D
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
          G
Oh I ain't begging or losing my head
A                     D
I sure do want you to know 

                 A
that you wear it well
 Em           D           G       A
There ain't a lady in the land so fine

D        G 
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate
A                          D
The all day rock and roll shows
     G
Them homesick blues and radical views
A                     D
Haven't left a mark on you, 

            A
you wear it well
Em              D          G     A
A little out of time but I don't mind

              G                           D
But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
       G                   D
But I blew it without even tryin'
        G
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
A                      D
Tryin' to get a letter through

Em                D                 G     A 
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

D        G
I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
A                                  D
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
                   G
You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
A                           D
You made me feel a millionaire 

                A
and you wear it well
Em       D            G        A
Madame Onassis got nothing on you

D            G
Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
A                        D
That I gotta get back to work
             G
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
A                          D
Think of me and try not to laugh 

               A
and I wear it well
Em          D           G     A
I don't object if you call collect

D                     G                      D
'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
       G                     D
But I blew it without even tryin'
        G                   A                           D
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you

Em            D                      G    A
After all the years I hope it's the same address
Em                D                  G    A
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

I didn't know what day it was when you walked into the room
    F          Em7           Dm7              C
I said hello unnoticed, you said goodbye too soon
  F                    Em7               Dm7                C
Breezin' through the clientele, spinnin yarns that were so lyrical

They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.

Young Turks

&quot;Maggie May&quot; is a song written by singer Rod Stewart and Martin Quittenton and recorded by Stewart in 1971 for his album Every Picture Tells a Story. &quot;Maggie May&quot; expresses the ambivalence and contradictory emotions of a young man involved in a relationship with an older woman, and was written from Stewart's own experience. In the January, 2007 issue of Q magazine, Stewart recalled: &quot;Maggie May was more or less a true story, about the first woman I had sex with, at the Beaulieu Jazz Festival.&quot; 

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

When my Savior calls I will answer

When He calls for me I will be there
        
When my Savior calls I will answer

If my heart is right when He calls me

If my heart is right I will meet Him

I'll be somewhere listening for my name

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

The space between is deafening



Bridge:

 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

The space between is deafening

Space Between

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

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...

Misery

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
