Why We

Verse

This man i know plays the highness as he gathers pride and goldAnd so sure is he in his selfish ways, that the world is all he holdsSo while others around him rise and fall his ways seem set in stoneBut he’ll miss the magic that a moment can bring For you really can’t be told

Chorus I want to see all the stars in 3 dimensionsRun through a crazy stormI want to bury my head in books that make all that we know seem moreWon’t you sing a song that makes me wonderColour the shapes we seeI want a love unspeakable, love unreachable love That’s why we dream

Verse

Now I’m not the man who dreams well each moment of every dayI too feel the fears that come of years of man wanting it all his wayBut on a smaller scale I won’t be downI’ll greet each stranger wellFor the great divide aint half as wide as just a simple smile will tell

Chorus I want to see all the stars in 3 dimensionsRun through a crazy stormI want to bury my head in books that make all that we know seem moreWon’t you sing a song that makes me wonderColour the shapes we seeI want a love unspeakable, love unreachable love That’s why we . . .

F#m B D E D

Verse F #m B D E D In this world there are fair things, though none as fair as she F#m B E D E D A splendor of the wildwood, and blooming garden, sweet Euridice D E D But then she fell that morning, amidst the rose and sage A/C# F#m E F#m B D E DA serpent underfoot made deep her sudden grave

Now Orpheus was music. His song it called each dayAt his will the world would listen, would lingerMake peace as battles raged D E D But his love was stronger than all things, with Euridice its heart A/C# F#m E So what grief befell the world when he heard that she had passed

Chorus A D▲ A E A All the leaves fell pale, and all but the coldest mourned F#m D E F#m B D E DAs the love grew frail in a songless winterVerse

She’d fallen straight to hades. . . all 7 layers downAnd when Orpheus, he heard of this, He vowed to return her to where the sun could light her gownAnd the world cried friend, “we’re with you, our joy is your songand your song is love, for it’s a loveless world without it”

ChorusAll the leaves fell pale, and all but the coldest mournedAs the love grew frail in a songless winter


Songless Winter tu!y"s git Open D▲ tuning

Bridge Bm F#m DDark were the days over the world in waiting A/C# D E AFor a song to raise the sun back to morning Bm F#m DBut darker still was his way down to hades F A D EAnd it was lifeless he fell before the throne ChorusAll the leaves fell pale, and all but the coldest mournedAs the love grew frail in a songless winter

F #m B D E D F#m B D E D

Part 2How have you come here man of the living?Where only our calling allows you to beThe life had near left himHis love had ceased beatingHe begged they return her to life and to he

Then go from here mortal, your wish shall be grantedYour love, she will follow. . . Your love it will beBut don’t turn around againDo not tempt to see her till you feel the suns earth again at your feet

Bm F#m DSo he left, lusting for his love to see A/C# D E AFor as fair as she was, so would be his song again Bm F#m D E DBut foolishly, on the verge of returning, in fear he turned E G F#mAnd again . . . . . . . . . . . . she fell


Verse

G C Em I went down to the river at first light in a haze of mountain air F CAnd in the mist on the water hung the praise for another GBit of wonder left as dear G Though it nearly wasn’t so as history has shown C EmMan’s quite a destructive being F C G (riff)But in this case the better side won for the river

Verse In the search for new power to willingly devour There came the hydro schemeCountless new jobs, and all that it will cost is just a riverCleaner to the air, and you won’t know it’s thereSending juice to your tv’sAnd this cheap ass view soon won over the leaders

Chorus

D GWhen will we love home again Dm GAnd all life my friends? C G/B Am E♭! Lot of work to win a little in peaceful reverie Em COf things dearer than this dam Am C G (riff)But still they cried, ‘forever flow the river’


forever flow the river tu!y"s git capo 5th D G D G B D

Verse

It took a donkey of a vote to informally show That the dam’s a bad ideaBut the plans went ahead, so they gathered instead by the riverThey were beaten and arrested, every will there was testedIn a hardened peaceful standShed a tear when man gets cut right down the middle

Chorus

When will we love home againAnd all life my friends?Lot of work to win a little in peaceful reverie Of things dearer than this damBut still they cried, ‘forever flow the river’

Bridge Em CThe A.L.P said “we’ll have to intervene” G EmAnd this helped win Hawke the chair F C But the States resisted and stubbornly insisted GThat weren’t fair

So they took it to the courtsBut it turned out how it ought in July of ’83And to this day they’ve cried forever flow the river Chorus

When will we love home againAnd all life my friends?Lot of work to win a little in peaceful reverie Of things dearer than this damBut still they cried, ‘forever flow the river’

Verse

My breaking fall . . . you’ve seen me landing on the face side downSo that is all . . . I’ll keep on hanging on that first time

Chorus

My fault, it’s rightTime will heal in moments, but I’ve lost you in this whirlWe’ll meet in every other world Em C G etc . . .

Bridge C D B7 Em C DI turn to this song in moments post dividing with an only love B7 EmBut the world it still turns round C D B7 Em Am I the only one to feel there’s something writing C D B7 Em C G etc . . On the canvas of the heart?

Verse

Blue Harlot, Have you dreamt of the day when you’ll rise and reclaim the morning?

Blue Harlot,Have we buried your hope with our waste? Fed the junk through your veins? As if you need it.

Blue Harlot, I wish I knew your ruling days, when you were Queen of this place and it’s treasures.

Blue Harlot,There’s still those of us who’ll heed your call.To our knees we shall fall, if you ask it

Chorus

Am7 Em7 D A G For all of our years, by the way that you measure them, are nought, D ASo how could we think we know better? Em7 D A G When we hear, clear the cries that sing all of it will be lost, D A If we just blindly move on.

Verse

Blue Harlot, Why the peaceful delay?When you could wipe us all from the face, if you willed it.

Blue Harlot,Tear all of these buildings down.Make sure wall street drowns.Wash the dirt from the streets of this town.

Chorus

For all of our years, by the way that you measure them, are nought,So how could we think we know better?Yet still, you grow stronger, and despite of all our faults,You still help life carry on.

Verse

Blue Harlot, I just don’t know how to say it,But what a glorious day to be breathing :)

Blue Harlot,From here I swear I’m seeing you smile,And after all we’ve defiled, you still bless us . . . .

Blessed Luck

I rose up yesterday, but not this mornI can’t help wondering why nowShall be the last time I rise in this homeI can’t help wondering now

It’s warm in these covers with one who’s adoredI can’t help wondering why not nowI’ve lay with but one here but loved many moreI can’t help wondering now

This room has seen riches just fall through the holesI can’t help wondering why nowHoles that have led to this future unknownI can’t help wondering now

These walls have seen a circus of friends and foesI can’t help wondering why nowOr maybe it’s the cloud that we wrapped round it allI can’t help wondering now

I’ve left some belongings and fears in the hallsI can’t help wondering where to nowBut I feel somehow lighter to sing it once moreI can’t help wondering now

Well maybe it’s westward I’ll go with the sunSharing the lead with my shadowI’ve stumbled I know to make sense of it allI can’t help wondering now


Out of the Stables

Well I’m sure you’ve all heard of 5 finger PillHad 5 fingers on each hand, and it’s just as wellCause he played the guitar see, though not so goodBut all around, well they thought he could

And his reputation preceded him wherever he went“That Phil can play the guitar like hell!Fast as lightning, smooth as steel!”But Phil knew all too well those rumors weren’t real

When he’d appear in a town and they’d say, “Phil Play!”He’d worked out a plan for a sure escapeHe’d say, “I’d love to folks, but I don’t play freeThere’s a couple of little things you must get for me”

“I need an ale for my donkey, and 10 ales for meI need a barrel full of whiskey, and more you see5 cows, 10 chickens and a house on the hillAnd a pretty little girl who’ll love me well”

Well there were few around who could spare those meansSo Phil kept safe and his rep stayed cleanAnd when he was alone at night he’d practice real hardBut he was still just a hack on his old guitar

But he made his way from bar to barAnd no-one heard a note from his guitarCause whenever someone would yell a requestHe’d say, “I won’t play for you unless . . “

“I have an ale for my donkey, and 10 ales for meI need a barrel full of whiskey, and more you see5 cows, 10 chickens and a house on the hillAnd a pretty little girl who’ll love me well”

Now one Sunday afternoon as the sun was going downThe devil appeared, raising hell in the townAnd he shouted at the people in a voice so dark“WHO’S GOING TO CHALLENGE ME ON THE DUELING GUITARS?”


5 finger Phil & The Impossible Rider

Well there could be only one, they cried, “We must get Phil!”So they sent off a rider to his camp on the hillIt look a little while, and when they finally came backPoor old Phil looked like he’d have a heart attack

The devil laughed “BOY I HEAR YOU CAN PLAY!”And everyone turned around to look Phil’s waySweat pouring from his brow, hands shaking by his sideA meek little nod was his only reply

The devil grinned, “MIND IF I START?I’LL SHOW YOU HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR!!!”And he pulled out a guitar made of shining goldAnd played a song that made the peoples blood run cold

The crowd stood in awe, they didn’t think that he wouldThey knew the devil’d play bad, but hell, not Johnny be Goode!The crowd turned as one to where Phil stood in tearsAnd at once came his name in loud, hopeful cheers

“PHIL! PHIL! PHIL! PHIL!”

Well there was nothing he could do now, he’d dreamed of this dayBut his dreams it was different . . . in his dreams he could playHis tongue it came out . . the chants became hissBut nothing could’ve prepared them for this . . .

HooHooHaHaHaHaHaH HooHooHaHaHaHa!

What started as a chuckle soon became a roarThe devil didn’t remember ever laughing this hard beforeThe mountains began to shake, and a bit of the sky fellThe devil laughed so hard he fell all the way back to hell!

When he was gone, it was turmoil, “Phil saved our lives!”No-one even cared that the rumors were liesThey hoisted him high, said “How can we ever repay?”And I think you can guess what he did say . .

“I need an ale for my donkey, and 10 ales for meI need a barrel full of whiskey, and more you see5 cows, 10 chickens and a house on the hillAnd a pretty little girl who’ll love me well”

Well no-one ever figured out how the rumors got startedBut everyone chipped in and got Phil lessons on the guitarAnd if you listen real hard as the sun is going downYou can still hear the devil laughing underground

Dm The Devil’s got me with a short arm Gm Dm He’s holding me right down DmHe tempts me with such precious goods Gm Asus AWhich he somehow still turns foul DmI’ve had my share of good luck Gm FAint yet drunk my fill of bad Gm DmSo I wait upon my judgement day Bb DmWith a smile that aint quite glad F C DmWith a smile that aint quite glad

I’ve run from love a million timesI’ve painted angels in my mindBut with a simple word, or stare, or shoesI find I turn away each timeSo I look not to fulfill nowThat love I’ve found in dreamsBut dream I will till my dying dayIt may only then be real loveIt may only then be real


Devil’s Armtu!y"s git D A D G A D

I sing my song with friends of allI surely must be blessedThen I find I take more than I giveAnd it’s all turned on its headI falter in my dancing stepAnd turn around to leaveBut I’m stopped again dead in my tracksBy another fateful sceneBy an unconditional scene

My judgement day it may be soon

Lord knows I’ve helped it comeI’ve graffitied on my body’s shrineFrom my mind down to my lungsBut my heart’s intact, for I know I feelThat hope will come what maySo I light another candle hereAnd await my judgement dayI await my judgement day


VerseBm D You packed up your world . . . gave it all upBm F#m As your heavens descent has left a locked home in front of meBm D Bm F#m I couldn’t find much, but I wish I had more to soothe your hurts

ChorusBm G F#m Feeling up on the rafters above me, in case you hid a keyBm G F#m Blow a kiss through the window inside, to the dark sideEm7Where you stare at meBm Bb D G It may not of been that bad, but I’m feeling for you

Verse For what it’s all worth, I aint never had no gunI’ve not even a foe of such, that I’d ever need toBut for you my love, I’d take then all out, if you’ll help me down

Chorus

But please don’t you shun me, cause I won’t heedI’m stubborn on demand as can beI’ll cut another way to inside, and if nothing else drag you out with meI aint never played bad . . . I’m just thinking of you

Bridge D F#m G A Bm A BmAnd don’t that mean anything to thee from where you areG F#m Em7 Bm A Bm G A I’m where you want to be D G D F#mSo you won’t see me leave for anything till this is over Em7 Bm G D AYour world’s still calling softly with me Bm G D F#mNo you won’t see me leave for anything till this is over Em7 Bm G D AYour world’s still singing softly with me
