I've Got A Picture In My Head

 In my head

It's me and you we are in bed

 We are in bed

You'll always be there when i call

 When i called

 You'll always be there most of all, all, all, all

This is not hollywood like i understood

 Is not hollywood

Like, like, like

Is not hollywood

Like, like, like

Run away, run away

 Is there anybody there?

Get away, get away

 Is there anybody there?

Get away, get away, get away!

Get away, get away, get away!

(refrain) uh oh oh oh. . .

I've got a picture in my room

In my room

I will return there i presume

It should be soon

The greatest irony of all

Should do all

It's not so glamourous at all, all, all, all

This is not hollywood

Like i understood

Is not hollywood

Like, like, like

This is not hollywood

Like i understood

Is not hollywood like, like, like

To all the parents with sleepless nights

Sleepless nights

3.When You're Gone

 (Refrain) Do Ba Dop

Hold on to love

 That is what i do

Now that i found you

And from above everything's stinking

In and around you

And in the night

 I could be helpless

 I could be lonely, slipping without you

 And in the day, everything's complex

 There's nothing simple when i'm not around you

But i miss you when you're gone

 That is what i do

Hey baby

 But it's hard to carry on

 That is what i do

Hey baby

(refrain)

Hold on to my hands

I feel i'm sinking

Sinking without you

And to my mind everything's stinking

Stinking without you

And in the night i could be helpless

I could be lonely, sleeping without you

And in the day, everything's complex

There's nothing simple

When i'm not around you

And i miss you when you're gone

That is what i do

Hey baby

It's hard to carry on

That is what i do

Hey baby

(refrain)

4.Free To Decide

Intro

It's Not Worth Anything More

 Than it is at all

I live as i choose

 Or i will not live at all

So return to where you came from

Return to where you dwell

 Because harassment's not my forte

 But you do it very well

And i'm free to decide, free to decide

 And i'm not so suicidal after all

I'm free to decide, i'm free to decide

 And i'm not so suicidal after all

You must have nothing more

With your time to do

There's a war in russia, sarajevo too

So to hell with all your thinking

And to hell with your narrow mind

You're so distracted from the real thing

You should leave your life behind, behind

Cause i'm free to decide

I'm free to decide

And i'm not so suicidal after all

I'm free to decide

5.War child

Who Will Save The Warchild Baby?

Who controls the key?

 The web we weave is thick and sordid

Fine by me

At times of war, we're all the losers

There's no victory

We shoot to kill and kill your lover

Fine by me

Warchild!, victim of political pride

 Plant the seed, territorial greed

Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild

I spent last winter in new york and came upon a man

He was sleeping on the streets and homeless

He said, "i fought in vietnam"

Beneath his shirt he wore the mark, he bore the mark with pride

A two inch deep incision carved into his side

Warchild!, victim of political pride

Plant the seed, territorial greed

Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild

Who's the loser now? Who's the loser now?

We're all the losers now!, we're all the losers now

Warchild. . .warchild

6.Forever Yellow Skies

(Refrain....Beautiful Angelic Voice)

Yellow skies

 I can see you in the yellow skies

See you again

 I see you again

In my dreams, in my dreams,

In my dreams, in my dreams

Morning light

 I remember morning light!

Outside my door

 I'll see you no more

In my dreams, in my dreams,

In my dreams, in my dreams

Forever

Forever i'll be

Forever holding you responsible, responsible,

Responsible, responsible

just play F and C

Black and white

It's become so black and white

You're so insecure

You're so insecure

That's what you are, that's what you are, that's what you are

Forever!

Forever i'll be

Forever holding you

Forever!

Forever i'll be

Forever holding you responsible, responsible,

Responsible, responsible--ow ow ow ow

7.The Rebels

Seems Like Yesterday We Were 16

We were the rebels of the rebel scene

We wore doc martins in the sun

Drinking vintage cider, having fun

 We were drinking vintage cider, having fun

 It wasn't often that we'd fight at all

 It wasn't often

 It wasn't often that we'd fight at all

 It wasn't often

We wore doc martins in the snow

(chorus: we will never go)

Paint our toenails black and let our hair grow

(chorus: we will never grow)

What i am now is what i was then

(chorus: we will never know)

I am not more acceptable than them

I am not more acceptable than them

It wasn't often that we'd fight at all

It wasn't often

It wasn't often that we'd fight at all

It wasn't often (repeated 8 times)

Seems like yesterday we were 16

We were rebels of the rebel scene (heavy sigh)

09.I Just Shot John Lennon

 Main chords: --- --

It Was A Fearful Night Of December Eigth

He was returning home from the studio late

He had perceptively known that it wouldn't be nice

Because in 1980 he paid the price

John lennon died

With a smith and wesson 38

John lennon's life was no longer a debate

He should have stayed home

He should have never cared

The man who took his life declared,

He said, "i just shot john lennon."

" i just shot john lennon."

What a sad and sorry and sickening sight

What a sad and sorry and sickening night

10.Electric Blue

Electric Blue Eyes, Where Did You Come From?

Electric blue eyes, who sent you?

Electric blue eyes, always be near me,

Electric blue eyes, i need you.

(na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh)

Chorus

Domine, domine, deus,

Domine, adiuva me,

Domine, domine, deus

Domine, adiu, adiuma me

Hey, eh, hey, eh

If you should go, you should know...i love you

If you should go, you should know... I'm here

Always be near me, guardian angel,

Always be near me, there's no fear

(na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh, na, na, noh)

Repeat chorus:

............................................................................

11.I'm Still Remembering

 Play:

I'm Still Remembering The Day

I gave my life away

I'm still remembering the time

You said you'd be mine

Yesterday was cold and bare

Because you were not there

Yesterday was cold

My story has been told

I need your affection all the way

The world has changed

Or i've changed in a way

I try to remain

I'm trying not to go insane

I need your affection all the way

I'm still remembering my life

Before i became your wife

I'm still remembering the pain

And the mind games

Reverse psychology never tainted me

I didn't sell my soul, i didn't sell my soul

I need your affection all the way

They say the cream will always rise to the top

The say that good people are always first to drop

What of kurt cobain?

Will his presence still remain?

Remember jfk?

Ever saintly in a way

Where are you now? Where are you now?

I say, where are you now?

I need your affection all the way

............................................................................

12.Will You Remember?

Will You Remember The Dress I Wore?

Will you remember my face?

Will you remember the lipstick i wore?

 This world is a wonderful place

Will you remember the black limousine?

Will you remember the champagne?

Will you remember the things that we've seen?

I will return here again

Will you remember the flowers in my hand?

Will you remember my hair?

Will you remember the future we planned?

The world is not waiting out there

I won't remember the dress i wore

I won't remember champagne

I won't remember the things that we swore

I will just love you in vain

Will you remember?

Will you recall?

............................................................................

13.Joe

There Was A Time I Was So Lonely

Remember the time it was on friday

You made me feel fine, we did it my way

I sat on your knees every friday

I still recall you, i see you in summer

Joe, joe

I sat on your chair by the fire

Transfixed in a stare, taking me higher

Precious years to remember

Childhood fears i surrender

I still recall you, i see you in summer

Joe, joe

............................................................................

14.Bosnia

I Would Like To State My Vision, Life Is So Unfair

We live in our secure surroundings

And people die out there

Bosnia was so unkind, sarajevo changed my mind

 And we all call out in despair, all the love we need isn't there

 And we all sing songs in our room, sarajevo erects another tomb

Sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo, sarajevo

Bosnia! Was so unkind!

Sarajevo.....

Bosnia! Was so unkind!

Sure things would change if we really wanted them to

No fear for children anymore

 There are babies in their beds, terror in their heads

 For the love of life!!!

 (refrain)when do the saints come marching in?

 (chorus sung by children)walk on tip toe

............................................................................

15.Cordell

Once You Ruled My Mind

 I thought you'd always be there

 And i'll always hold on to your face

But everything changes in time

 And the answers are not always fair

 And i hope you've gone to a better place

Cordell

 Time will tell

 They say that you've passed away

 And i hope you've gone to a better place

Time will tell

Time will tell

They say that you've passed away

 And i know that you've gone to a better place

Cordell...cordell....cordell...cordell

Cordell...cordell....cordell

Your lover and baby will cry

But you presence will always remain

Is this how it was meant to be?

You meant something more to me

That what many people will see

And to hell with the industry

Cordell

Time will tell

They say that you've passed away

And i hope you've gone to a better place

Time will tell

Time will tell

We all will depart and decay

And we all will return to a better place

Cordell...cordell.....cordell....cordell

Cordell...cordell...
