Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

...

[I don't have much but I got the good stuff

...

I keep it tucked away where you can find it if you've got the guts

Walk with me, walk with me, walk with me, walk

...

I got a girl from the 'burbs who won't talk

 I don't have much but I got the good stuff]

...

(I don't know why but you make me sweat

...

When trouble comes calling, I'm packing my bags for the west

I'll give you nothing for nothing if that's what you desire

...

I'll let it cool if you light my fire

Bumper shine my way home

...

Bumper shine my way home)

Chorus 1

All the square pegs and all the round holes

Couldn't fit all of the stories you told

 The pull of a moth to the fire

 Your Achilles' desire

...

[I don't have much but I am a rich man

...

I got a woman down from the Park Ridge who is finer than sand]

Fall with me, fall with me, fall with me

Fall through the waist of the hourglass, fall

[I don't have much but I am a rich man]

A second-hand gypsy is no fading flower

Fingers are frozen in furious power

The pull of a moth to the fire

Your Achilles' desire

Cold, cold sweat on the back of my knees

The future runs in on the Assiniboine breeze

The pull of a moth to the fire

Your Achilles' desire

All the square pegs and all the round holes

Couldn't fit all of the stories you told

The pull of a moth to the fire

Your Achilles' desire

...

The pull of a moth to the fire

 Your Achilles' desire

 I don't have much

DEVIL'S GOT A GUN

Intro

Am-E--Am-

Look out, this thing is gonna blow

 I heard it from the people in the know

 There's trouble in the tenements below

 There's fire where the flowers used to grow

Chorus

I'm never going back

 I'm running from the sun

 Bullets at my heels

 The Devil's got a gun

I'm never going home

I'll be the only one

With daylight on my tail

And Heaven on the run

Rain is jumping up into the clouds

A girl has ceased to make her father proud

Lovers wrapped up in cellophane

The bitter fruit has fallen from its prey

Chorus

Help me, I know not who I see

 I'm a stranger to the face looking back at me

 When a company of sisters is just like any mystery to me

Hold me, I know not who I am

If I'm a woman, you're a creature, not a man

The eyes of a lover- they look like any other to me

It's down to the second hand

The tick-tock is more than you can stand

The grinders and the wheels they never see

We're fighting to the bottom of the deep

Chorus

Daylight on my tail

And Heaven on the run

MISMATCHED EYES (BOAT SONG)

 [Is it the list and the sway

...

Is it the roll and the pitch]

(The drunken Gulf of Mexico

...

Or he seven-year itch)

 [I hear the mating calls of fireflies

...

Some celestial blues]

 (And they're bringing me around again

...

And that's something I can use)

 [Now I see] nothing but the water

...

And it's falling from my face

 [It is the face] (It is the face)

...

[It is the face] (It is the face)

 I want to show you

[Will I remember to remember

That without I'm a shadow]

(Of a drifter and a barfly

And whatever else you had to be)

[It's true I've come around

Now I can even touch my toes]

(And all the running and the talking-

Yeah, now everybody knows)

[You never] speak but I can hear you

As you sing out from your mismatched eyes

[They are the eyes] (They are the eyes)

[They are the eyes]

I will to die with

[We're on a boat out on the ocean

And there's nothing more to share]

(We've gone from one wave to another

And back again a where)

[We go where guitars are hung over

And the songs are fast asleep]

(I feel the flesh wounds in my heart

But they are mine for me to keep)

[In your] pocket or your fist

Or in your mind but they come to you [by your ears]

(They are the ears) [They are the ears]

(They are the ears)

That I will sing to

Intro

Am--F--Dm--C-G-

[I been eyeing up a coalmine baby

I been eyeing up a Peterbilt truck and

I been listening to the radio sometimes

And it's making my backbone wilt]

I been dreaming of the mighty, mighty Red

And the thatched roof hut that I'd put on it and

You gotta figure there's a local 'round the bend

  With a shattered red barstool and my name's on it

Has the record stopped

  Spinning?

Has the other boot dropped?

  Is my punk flame burning

  Out?

I keep my eye upon the Bluejay flying

From your collar to your hipbone baby

I don't expect it to be on you always

But surprise me with it one day maybe

The way you did when I came in from the cold

And nothing on you but a devil-wide grin and

I don't imagine I could tire of the act but/echo

What a lonely, lonely road it's been

Chorus

Has the record stopped

  Spinning?

Has the other boot dropped?

  (maybe )

Is my punk flame burning out?

And has the band moved on

  And left me on the farm?

Is my rock 'n' roll nerve all spent

  Just a flaming heart on an old man's arm

Chorus

I been eyeing up a coalmine baby

I been eyeing up a Peterbilt truck and

I been listening to the radio sometimes...

A5 0022X0 (or power chord)

D5 X00235 (or power chord)

Intro

 (Cold snap apathy

Killer hypothermic heart)

 I read you like calloused Braille

Hieroglyphics in the snow

 (We'll get by)

Chorus

 (It's been a) cold

 Cold July

(It's been a) cold

Cold July

(Breeze past the corridor

Radiator on the fritz)

We walked down to see the melted mess

Snow to slush at the Charleswood Lagoon

(Frozen dry)

Chorus

(January, February) [Snow drop pickups and _]

(Spring forward, keep me warm) [Sleigh bell forest fire]

(April showers fall back down) [In your garden then it'll _ an alibi]

(Love letters in the snow)

Oh, for the love of it

 Or just the hell of it

 Just sink your claws in it

Set me on fire

(CHORUS)

Since this song is electronic, these chords are approximations.

Intro

Jane, she gets so close

...

Jane, she gets so close

Jane, you know, she'll never let go

 If you want her

...

You can have her

...

It don't matter

 She's a wrecking ball

Jane, you get so hot

Jane, you get so hot

Jane, you know, you're gonna get caught

One more last clean slate

Count your pennies, say your prayers

Everybody burns

Crawl through all the endless layers

Jane don't lose your jam

Don't underestimate your hand

Play the ace, don't show it on your face

Keep the jack

You're the queen

Take the chips

To the cash machine

Jane you hurt so good

Like all the B-movie harlots would

Play the part, take the body, not the heart

Face down in the mire

Hidden with the hearts for hire

Everybody knows

But you and it shows

 (I'm not yours

 You are mine

 Let that sink in

 Like the Mary Rose

She went down

With a heavy load

But who is this fading flower?

Mm-mm)

Chorus

 Come to life

 In the spring

 I was shaking

 from your sting

You should know

In like lamb

Out like a lion

(I came in)

Like a lamb

Out like a lion

---

We grew up

So we were told

Time just leaves us

Out in the cold

Seasons change

I'm getting warm

A feline in mohair

Mm-mm

Chorus

(CHORUS)

(I came in)

Like a lamb

Out like a lion

(x2)

Intro

 (There's no glamour in the hammer but they sell it at the Big 'n' Tall

 They'll fit a king like a prince in a joker's pair of coveralls

 When your motorchair stalls tell the cop you've seen it all)

 There's no getting out of this one

 There's no getting out of this

(Got no Ambien, no Secondal, no genie in a lithium bottle

Just a first aid kit and a suicidal lingerie model

Keep the trunk locked up, rev the engine, hammer the throttle)

Chorus

There's no getting out of this one

There's no getting out of this

You got a camouflage lover

And a bulletproof kiss

----

(Way up on the escarpment, on a good day you can see the smokestacks

Down below St Joe's spilling over with heart attacks

Down the east steps Fitzcaraldo covers up your tracks)

Chorus

And a bulletproof kiss

Intro

 [You've got those far away eyes

 Baby, far away eyes

And I've got these radiator blues

Baby, what am I to do?]

Chorus

 [Let's not talk about much tonight

...

Just move to the silence in the lone starlight

...

Hold me by the hands and bring your body closer

 I want the heat, I want the roller coaster]

Please put your body in my bed

And your pretty little head

Whisper me things you'd never dare

I can take you there

I been waiting too long for the this

The touch of your fingers and your sweet, sweet kiss

Hold me in your gaze until my mind is weak

You are the medicine that I seek

Where have you been, baby?

Off to the far side and sitting on the beach

 In some faraway land that never

When you coming back, baby?

I got the radiator blues

----

But I won't ever leave you cold

[You've got those far away eyes

Baby, far away eyes

And I've got these radiator blues

Baby, what am I to do?]

([CHORUS])

* (Dsus2/5+) XX0330

Intro

 [The clouds- they moved in on the hour

It's a part of this town I despise

But if it should yield but one small, snow-white flower

And one happy tear in your eye

Then let it come down, let it fall, give us rain

And I'll thank the almighty powers

'Cause one precious drop from those glorious pools

You call eyes is all I require]

Chorus

Annie Lu, Annie Lu

Won't you save me from you

'Cause that's a whole lotta love for one little boy

I'll love you until no more loving can be

Annie Lu, Annie Lu, Annie Lu

[If you should ever just up and go

Won't you spare me the agony of watching you leave?

'Cause my heart might go off like a pistol

And make a dead man out of me]

Chorus

Annie Lu, won't you bring back my heart?

 They're busting unions in Wisconsin

 We got mojitos by the pool

 We got a talent for distraction

 No reaction to the colic and the cruel

They're sinking battleships at midnight

We change the channel on a dime

When they break to a commercial

Dress rehearsal in our catatonic prime/crime

 Time is moving on

 There's no marching band

 Just some fuzzed out credits, names of strangers,

 And a nightcap in your hair

They're digging ditches in Zuccoti

We're getting famous by the hour

All our pirates are Johnny, not Somali

trading bad seeds for flowers

Everybody's got a ticket and a backstage pass

Everybody's going somewhere someday

Even the mighty- they won't last-

Night I had a dream

You were there

Weaving through the burrows/burroughs

 Down the high line with daisies in your hair

They're busting unions in Toronto

I'm coming down

From wishful thinking and the like

I'm sober as a judge

 But the jury's out drinking tonight

They're busting unions in Wisconsin

And praising Jesus in the schools

They keeping science in the basement

 Speaking tongues and making fools

Intro

 (Sometimes I just

 I can't help but think

 There's a particular way

 For an angel to sleep)

With her head just so

Turned up unaware

That you're standing there watching her dream

Something frightfully beautiful

 Why can't I take this car

 And drive it to Mexico?

 We'll rob a Texaco in Santa Fe

 Where we'll run out of gas

I wonder why

It scares me to death

You tell me everything you ever thought about

Love was a lie

(I should be struck dumb)

Happily insane

But the man in my head recommends against

Paving my history

Why can't I take this car

And drive it to Mexico?

We'll rob a Texaco in Santa Fe

 Where we'll run out of gas

Why can't I take this bird

And fly her to Jupiter?

Pit stop in Venus, stare back at the Earth

While she catches her

-----

Sweet soft breath

------

Why can't I take this car...

Why can't I take this bird...
