You say that there's a thousand like you; maybe that's true. I fell for you andnobody elseSo I'm standing here so lonesome, what can I do? But learn to laugh at myself

You might say that we should build a city of tearsAll I'm saying is I'm alone and consequentlyOnly my tears satisfy the real need of my heart

I resist

Untitled Melody:Try playing this with a capo at the 4th fret to be in tune with the record. Its a bit more faithful andless idiosyncratic than my previous attempt. The open A string gives that lovely pedal note that Icould never figure out until now.

Turn awayIntro: Spacy feedback turning into a fantastic riff based around F. Hook your thumb toplay the bass F note on the E string maybe?

FI don't know quite what to do when you turn awayFI don't know quite what to sayFIt doesn't matter if I say I'll never tell you liesFI always hate to see you cry

Chorus:Em Bm AmYou can never understandEm Bm AmAnd you won't let me touch your handEm Bm AmAnd if you punch me in the eyeEm Bm AmIt's always you that starts to cry

F C C7I don't know quite what to doF C BbNa na na na na na na na na na naF C C7Laugh but I'm lost without youF C BbNa na na na na na na na na na na

I wish that I could wash away all those things I said

I'd like to get inside your headAnd when I'm trying to talk some sense I wonder if it's me

Slide the G string up and playthe E string when you get there

Hammer on on the Gstring

Bend the G stringa couple of times

Release andhammer on

ScaremongerIntro

C#m B F# (E)

VerseC#m F# B C#mI tend to shy away from people like youC#m F# B C#mPeople who want much more than they really ought toC#m F# B C#m

Somehow I was taken in, attended to your every whim but

A Am E G#mIt neednt always be that way A Am E G#mIt neednt always be that way A Am C#m F#m B C#mIt neednt always be that way

C#m F# B C#m E G#m B C#mI was misguided but now Im back on course

C#m F# B C#m E G#m B C#mNow Ive decided Im filing for divorceC#m F# B C#mI wouldnt give you so much as the time of day but

A Am E G#mIt neednt always be that way A Am E G#mIt neednt always be that way A Am C#m F#m B C#mIt neednt always be that way

And youre a scare monger, youre dealing in fearYou take such delight in the plight of othersI shudder to think that we were once like brothersAnd granted Im dealing in clichs but for that I make no apologiescause some things just have to be said

Youre a scaremonger, youre dealing in fear

The ArtisansAI used to spend each afternoonAJust locked in the confines of my room

Dm'Cause my mother told me that I never shouldAmPlay with the gypsies down in the woodEm DmThen I fell in with a bunch of hoods Am G Am EWho go by the name of the 'Artisans'

AmGonna trade in my snakeskin bootsAmGonna trade in my rhinestone suit

Dm'Cause I'm in cahoots with the 'Artisans'

AmWho just happen to be my favourite bandEm DmAt the best all the rest are just 'also rans' Am G Am EWhen compared to the fabulous 'Artisans'

What Presence?!E7 A7It may be my imagination and of course I'm prone to exaggeration

E7But in the moth eaten gloom of my shabby room

A7I saw the strangest manifestation

E7 A7One possible explanation is that it was merely a trick of the light

E7 A7But that's little consolation 'cause it's gotten so that I can't sleep at night!!

E7 A7N/CWhat Presence?!

E7 A7N/CWhat Presence?!

E A

E7Steppin' out 'neath a harvest moon,

A7Steppin' out to the strains of this self-same tune

E7And it's screaming in my earsA7

Yes it's screaming in my earsEm7

And Im holding back the tearsA7

Cause it's screaming in my ears

E7 A7

N/CWhat Presence?!

What you gonna do when the river runs dry

And theres a harvest moon in the skyAnd I cant believe my eyes

Cause the rivers running dry

Out for the count Am G#augOnce I had a vision and that vision was intense

C D7And if Im talking like a mystic let me say in my defence

Am F D7I was out for the count and when I awoke

Am F D7I was laughing uncontrollably as one might at a joke

Am G#augI dreamt of Bobbie Gentry with her warm, enchanting smile

C D7She said shed never fall in love again, at least not for a while

Am F D7She was out for the count and when she awoke

Am F D7She was laughing uncontrollably as one might at a joke

C G#aug C DDm Aaug F G

Venus, she was lying in state, a wreath placed at her sideSo I asked her Why so tight lipped? when there was nothing left to hide

She was out for the count and when she awokeShe was laughing uncontrollably as one might at a joke

Both bemused and confusedAnd they've come to steal your beautyYour fierce, Celtic beauty

But they'll never capture youBelieve me, they want toThat'll be like trying to catch a salmon in New YorkThat'll be like trying to catch a salmon in New York

In some parts of the worldThey still hold the belief

That a camera can steal your soulAnd Id go along with thatLock, stock and barrel

But they'll never capture youBelieve me, they want toThat'll be like trying to catch a salmon in New YorkThat'll be like trying to catch a salmon in New York

Bury My Head In My Hands

Chords go round the sequence F7 Am7 F7 G7 (maybe with a little C addedthere for colour)

F7 Am7 F7 G7/C

And theres a little DGB string riff that does something like

Listen,

Well I could bury my head in my handsLike the proverbial ostrich with his head in the sandOr maybe I should take a standIts just it gets so comfortable reposing on my divan

Sometimes I get to thinking, especially when Ive been drinkingThat you are my raison detreet cetera, et cetera

Yes you are my raison detre

et cetera, et cetera

Bury my head in my handsBury my head in my handsBury my head in my handsBury my head in my hands

You know its such a soft option to bury your head in your handsLike some proverbial ostrich with his proverbial head in the sandIts just then, sometimes when Ive been drinking

Eventually I get to thinking bout my past

Well I said it before and Ill say it againThat I saw many things beyond my ken

But I know youre my raison detreet cetera, et cetera

I know one thingAt least I know one thing

Bury my head in my hands (youre my raison detre, et cetera, et cetera)Bury my head in my hands

Punch drunk

Intro and chords for the load me up with something part

Gm6 Gm Gm6 Gm7

C CaugI can feel this power awakeC CaugThis punch drunk heart just will not breakC AmAnd I will jump or crawl or creep

G6 G

No difference high or steep

And I can feel the black lies flyTheyre in my sleep; theyre in my eyesI hate this head, these feet and handsIm tired of being a man

G Gaug G6 G7

Load me up with something to give me Chinese eyesBeneath the crazy paving. I fear the next surprise

Now I cant wait or hesitateJust one slip and its too lateAnd I wont make that old mistakeCause you cant fool with fate

And I will push this punch drunk heartDown many roads until we partThis punch drunk heart just will not breakNot while this powers awake

Load me up with something to give me Chinese eyesBeneath the crazy paving I fear the next surpriseLets go to the basement but careful on the stairFor one eternal instant, the web of fate may tear

The day I went down to Texas

CIf you should change your mindC

Please leave the key beneath the matCAnd as for me Im steppingDmOut with these walls to a land that enthralsFaugA land where a man can realise his dreamsDmI took my place in a fast moving queueFaugWalked up the gangplank and winked at the crewDm AdimAnd now Im bound for pastures new

C Bb FTexas, down in TexasC Bb FNow Im reelin in the drunken sunC Bb FI jumped on the back of a CadillacC Bb F

I guess Im a lucky son of a gun

You write occasionally in such a perfunctory styleDespite myself I alwaysSmile while remembering our glorious pastI guess we both knew it was too good to lastI once wrote a song though the words didnt scanYou still insisted that you were a fanBut we were so much younger then

A place in my heart

Intro:

D BmCan you hear me calling from afar

D BmAs you drive uptown in his Daddy's car

D BmGonna write you a letter in a hesitant hand

D BmConveying that I freely understand

Em GmJust why you called me an obsessiveEm Gm

And more than just a mite possessive

D Bm/Em AThere'll always be a place in my heart for you

D BmEmThere'll always be a place in my heart

If I may be so bold as to make the assertion

That your other lover is just a diversionMaybe in time when the time is rightTogether we'll scale those dizzy heightsAlthough you called me an obsessive andMore than just a mite possessive

D GThere'll always be a place in my heart for you

D GThere'll always be a place in my heart

Oh hallelujahI'm gonna sock it to youOh hallelujah

I'll disarm those who carry gunsA G6 D

And neutralize their caustic tongues

F#m Em GDoo Doo Dootn Doo Dootn Dootn A G DDoo Doo Dootn Doo

The shattered fragments of a starShining with a cruel contempt

We'll make our way to Tommy's BarWhile whistling a sad lament
