1 x 1 Ain't Two

Capo on III

(C) I was almost thirty Lord gone on forty
Hock my gold watch and bought some blue jeans
Jumped a slow freight train to (G) Alabama
I told my junky friends in Milwaukee
For the last time friends you will see me
I'm headed South to find out where I (C) am

(C) They decide when you wake up wiped out
Turn the key trying to knock your lights out
Someone yelled jail-break in the (G) block
Thirteen years of loosing
Lord I'm tired of boozing
I just found out that where I am is where I'm (C) not

     Why don't you (F) send me some money mama for to go my (C) bail
     Well the (G) marble lies small in the (F) Monroe County (C) Jail
     Yes I (F) know I done you wrong girl but you (C) know I done it (F) well
     Why don't you (C) send me some money (G) mama for to go my (C) bail

Working in a coal mine I don't need no shoe shine
Shoe shine and a coal mine is just a waste of good time
One time one ain't two you two-time-timing
Who do you think you're fooling
Your heels need some cooling
So I got a good mind just to throw you out of my mind

     Why don't you send me some money mama for to go my bail
     In here marble lies small in the Monroe County Jail
     Yes I know I done you wrong girl but you know I done it well
     Why don't you send me some money mama for to go my bail

Hit the street sleak beat around my feet repeat
I got some time to be treat then I trick or cheat
He don't find you going my way without you goin' my yaahoo
Who do you think you're foolin'
Your heels need some coolin'
Son I got a good mind just to throw you out of my mind

     Whoah send me some money mama for to go my bail
     Well the marble lies small in the Monroe County Jail
     Yes I know I done you wrong girl but you know I done it well hell
     Why don't you send me some money mama for to go my bail

     Well just send me some money mama for to go my bail
     Well the marble lies small in the Monroe County Jail
     Yes I know I done you wrong child but you know I done it well
     Why don't you send me some money mama for to go my bail

Baby's Not Home

Capo on I.

(C) Was I too weak or was I too (F) strong (F/e)
(Dm) Was I too (G) right when she was (C) wrong

(C) When she needed (Am) me Lord was she all (F) alone(F/e)
(Dm) It's (G) almost morning and baby's not (C) home

     (C) Could she be leaving (C7) me Lord (F) after so long(F/e)
     (D7) Could she really (G) believe I won't care that she's (C) gone

Love Look (at Us Now)

(A) Love (C#m) look at us (D) now
(E) Acting like (A) strangers(C#m) (D) (E)
(A) Love (C#m) look at us (D) now
(E) Ignoring the (A) dangers(C#m) (D) (E)

     (D) I know you want me to (E) stay
     (A) Why are you acting this (D) way (C#m)
     And I (F#) no longer know what to (D) say
     When I come (E) around (A) you

Love look at us now
Acting like children
So lost in ourselves
That nobody will win

     I know you want me to stay
     So why am I acting this way
     You no longer know what to say
     When you come around me

Organized Noise

Ah (D) there was a time
I (G) said her words had (D) meaning
What mattered then was the (G) thought
And not the (A) rhyme

I'll (D) tell you Lord
She (G) had me so close to (D) believing
Why did she sacrifice the (Em) feeling
For the (A) line

I see her (D) walking
Through the (G) ruins of all
She was (D) building
They say she (G) sold her dream
(Em) And bought some brand new (A) toys

I hate to (D) say it Lord
But her (G) flowers are (D) wilting
And her words have (Em) become
(A) Just an organised (Abm) noise

Dizzy Lizzy

(Am) (G) (F) (Dm)

(C) Dizzy Lizzy
Do you (G) remember
How (F) Big Joe copped (G) the night
And stole the (C) show

They say (C/b) Clyde is (Am) back
But he's not a (Dm) drifter
(G) Without love
Good (F) God where will he (C) go

     (F) Well it's alright with (G) me
     If it's alright (C) with you
     (F) Cause I'm just a (G) kid of seventeen(Am)
     (F) Rock and (G) roll ain't nothing
     (C) But the (F) blues with a (Am) beat (G)

Dizzy Lizzy
Do you remember
How Johnny pledged his love 
To you and me
Well he was not unlike 
This ofay Ember
When they want blood
Someone's got to bleed

     Ah but it's alright with me 
     If it's alright with you
     Cause I'm just a kid of seventeen
     And rock and roll ain't nothing
     But the blues with a beat

Well (C) he stepped on the stage
The house went (G) silent
King George the Fourth 
Mocked someone from the (C) crowd
Lizzy do they hear a word he's (G) singing
Or is the music just too (C) loud

     (F) Well it's alright with (G) me
     If it's (C) alright with you (F)
     (Dm) But I'm not a (G) kid of (Am) seventeen
     (F) And rock and (G) roll was nothing(C)
     But the (F) blues with a (Am) beat (G) (F)

     It's alright with me
     If it's alright with you
     Cause I'm just a kid of seventeen
     And rock and roll ain't nothing
     But the blues with a beat

Yesterday's Gone

(G) Yesterday's gone like the (C) ocean (G)
(C) Taken by the (D) tide
(G) Like the night and the (C) morning (G)
(C) Like a (Am) bird when she (D) flies

    (Am) Yesterday's gone and it's (Em) only now
    A (Am) place where today used to (Em) be
    (C) Lost in the space of (G) forever and (Esus4) eternity (E)

But tomorrow the sun will be born in
The twinkling of an eye
Father and mother of morning
Hope of today's gone by

    The beginning of all that has happened
    Yet the ending of all that's to be
    Just a rhyme in the line of the song only time can sing

Ah but (Em) I've read the (Em/d) book long (C) before 
I had (C/db) learned how to (D) read (D/eb) between the (Em) lines (Em/d)
I (C) saw only what I could (G) see 
Through my eyes not my (Esus4) mind (E)

God it takes a long (C) time 

You Only Live Once (In a While)

(C) We only live (C7) once in a (F) while (Am)
So let's (Am7/g) live for (Dm/f) today we're (C) alive (G)
(C) Between the first (C7) step (F) and the last (Dm) mile
We (G7) only live once in a (C) while (G)

     The (C) hobo's taken the (Dm) last milk-train home
     (G) Bluebird's finished her (C) singing and gone
     My lady and (C7) me we'll be (F) up for the (Dm) dawn
     You (G) only live once in a (C) while (G)

Yes we only live once in a while
So let's live for today we're alive
Between the first tear and the last smile
We only live once in a while

     See the willow how she catches the wind
     Following me down the road round the bend
     Over the years she has taught me my friends
     That we only live once in a while

Yes we only live once in a while
So lets live for today we're alive
Bewteen the first step and the last smile
We only live once in a while

If I Could Be

Capo on I

(It's 5:47 am in Eugene, Oregon, and it's time to open up those sleepy eyes, and here's one for you Suzy)

(C) If I could be (C7)
What I wanted (F) to (F/e)
(Dm) Believe me I'd (G) be
If only with (C) you

I'd choose not to be
A thing that's too strong
For things that are strong
Soon find a way to stand alone

     (F) I'm a sailor seeking refuge
     I'm a (C) ship lost in a storm
     (G) I'm an orphan-child
     Looking for a (C) home (C7)

     I'm a (F) robin in the winter
     Searching (C) for a place that's (Am) warm
     I'm a (G) hobo,
     Crying I'm too tired to (G7) roam

And if I could go
Where I wanted to
Believe me I'd go
But only with you

For long, long ago,
Too close had I grown
To you to be ever able now
To go (Am) alone (F)

To you to be (C) ever (G) able now
To go (F) alone (C)

If You See Her

Capo on I

(C) (G7) (C)

(C) If you see her and she (F) mentions my (C) name
Tell her the times have but (Dm) I have not (G7) changed
(Dm) And all my friends know that I (C) still feel the (F) same
(C) If you see her and (Dm) she (G) mentions my (C) name

If you see her ask her for me
If the dreamer in her ever set her free
Does she know now what the words I say mean
If you see her won't you ask her for me

      (F) Everything I told her then was (C) true
      (F) Everything was true at the (C) time
      But (Am) time has a (G) way of (Am) changing every (Am) thing
      (Dm) Truth has a (G) way of changing all the time.

If you see her and she mentions my name
Well tell her for me she was not to blame
There's no reason now she should feel ashamed
If you see her and she mentions my name.

Breeze Lullaby

Capo III

(F) (C) (F) (Dm) (G)

(C) Close your eyes
Let the sky fall softly down
(F) All (Dm) around the (G) light
(C) Let yourself be swept into the (F) silent
Ever-healing (Dm) arms of the (Gsus4) night

(F) Leave this precious moment
To the (C) child behind your eyes
Let him (E) touch the things he lost along the (Am) way (Am/g)
(F) I believe that in his wisdom God (C) set aside this (Am) time
(Dm) Just to let us all go home to (Gsus4) yesterday (C)

Note: chances are he's actually playing in D with all strings lowered a semitone on the album.

I Came to Hear the Music

Capo on I

(D) (A4) (G2) (D)

(D) I came to hear the (A4) music
(G2) I came to hear the (D) sound
(D) The (A4) music
(Gsus2) It brings me (D) down

(G) A (A) long, long (D) road
(G) (A) From now to (D) then
(G) (A) I (Bm) know your (Bm/a) song
(G) Sing it again

     (Bm) There's so many things I don't (Bm/a) believe I understand
     (G) The days run into weeks, run into (Bm) months
     (Bm) The years become a moment in the (Bm/a) ever-changing sands
     Did (G) God make time to keep it all from (Bm) happening at once?
     (G) All at once

I came to love the music
Before I came to be
To know the music
Before it came to me

Long time ago
I don't know when
I sang this song
Along with the wind

     O there's so many things I don't believe I understand
     The days run into weeks, run into months
     The years become a moment in the ever-changing sands
     Yes God made time to keep it all from happening at once
     All at once

I'm here to face the music.

Intro tab:

  D(/a)                                 A(sus4)                            G(sus2)                             D(/a)
