Christmas Lights

Intro:
G (x3) Cadd9 D

G
Christmas night, another fight
                 Cadd9 D
Tears we cried a flood
G
Got all kinds of poison in
             Cadd9 D
Poison in my blood

G
I took my feet

To Oxford Street
                  Cadd9 D
Trying to right a wrong
G
Just walk away 

Those windows say
                          Cadd9 D
But I can't believe she's gone

Cadd9
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
                         D2           G
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

G (x3) Cadd9 D

Em7
Up above candles on air flicker
        Cadd9            G
Oh they flicker and they float
G
But I'm up here holding on
             Dsus4          D
To all those chandeliers of hope

Em7
Like some drunken Elvis singing
Cadd9               G
I go singing out of tune
G
Saying how I always loved you darling
Dsus4        D
And I always will

Cadd9
Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
                         D2           
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
G
Still waiting for the snow to fall
                            D2
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all


G G/F# Cadd9 D Cadd9 (Break)


(Rallentando)   G
Those Christmas lights

Light up the street
               Cadd9        G
Down where the sea and city meet
              Cadd9           Em7
May all your troubles soon be gone
             G            Gsus4  G
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on


Cadd9 (3 strokes, rallentando) G
Those Christmas lights
Cadd9        G
Light up the street
              Cadd9             G
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
Cadd9                         G
Then all my troubles will be gone
             Dsus4               G
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on

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

I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G

I went to a party at the local county jail
D                                              G
All the cons were dancing and the men began to wail
        A                              G
But the guys were indiscrete they were balling in the street
       D                  A             D    A
At the local dance at the local county jail
D                                                 G
Well the band were playing and the booze began to flow
D                                         G
But the sound came over on the police car radio
A                            G
Down at Precinct 49 having a tear gas of a time
D                                  A                      D   A
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the County Jail

It's a shame these slugs ain't real
       D                         A             D   A
But we can't have dancing at the local county jail

D                                                 G
Sergeant Baker and his men made a beeline for the jail
D                                              G
And for miles around you could hear the sirens wail
          A                                  G
There's a rumour going down death row that a fuse is going to blow
       D                A            D
At the local hop at the local county jail 
                                          Eb
What you gonna do about it what you gonna do

Sergeant Baker started talking with a bullhorn in his hand
Dm
He was cool he was clear he was he was always in command
        G                               Em      A
He said blood will flow here padre 
Em        F#m          G
Padre you talk to your boys

D                                                       G
Well we don't understand why he called in the National Guard
D                                                     G
When Uncle Sam is the one who belongs in the exercise yard
A                   
We all got balls and brains
G
But some's got balls and chains
D                         A            D      A
At the local dance at the local county jail

Load up load up load up with rubber bullets

Is it really such a crime for a guy to spend his time

At the local dance at the local county jail

At the local dance at the local county jail

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

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 
                           D# 
La la la la la la la la la la 
                           G# 
La la la la la la la la la la

A Guerra Dos Meninos

E B
Yo seré lo que tú quieras que sea
C#m G#m
seré tu amante cuando tú lo prefieras
A E B
cuando revientes en llantos róbame un abrazo tal vez algo más..
E B
No te preocupes por quitarme la vida
C#m G#m
me la devuelves cuando tu lo decidas
A E B
y que no importe si el viento en otro momento nos vuelve a juntar...

A B E
y ya no estás arañándome la espalda,
G#m A E B
no me importa lo que hagas, si tu quieres vuelveme a esperar
(E-B-C#m-G#m-A-E-B)x2
eh eh eh...

G#m A (B-A)
Si vuelvo a sufrir ...!que me coman a besos!
A E A E
doy gracias por amarme, y por abandonarme
A G#m A B E
en lugar de tu amor escogí una luz para poder consolarme

Yo seré lo que tu quieras ....
Yo seré lo que tú quieras...

Por el momento y situacion en la cual escuche este tema me senti un tonto
he jurado no volver a cometer los mismos errores del pasado
es mi turno de recompensarte por todo lo que hiciste por mí
ahora yo te la dedico KaRyKatu my liebe....

Christmas Lights
