[Verse]
Dm Am
City's breaking down on a Camel's back.
Gm Am
They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
Dm Am
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
Gm Am
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
Dm Am
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
Gm Am
A melancholy town where we never smile.
Dm Am
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.
Gm Am
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no..
[Chorus]
Dm Am
Windmill, Windmill for the land.
Gm Am
Turn forever hand in hand
Dm Am
Take it all there on your stride
Gm Am
It is sinking, falling down
Dm Am
Love forever love is free
Gm Am
Let's turn forever you and me
Dm Am
Windmill, windmill for the land
Gm Am
Is everybody in?
(Timing is different here, chords same as first verse.)
[Verse]
Dm
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,

Lining them up-a like ass cracks,

Lay these ponies at the track

Care bear bumping in the heart of this here
Gm
Watch me as I gravitate
Am
Hahahahahahaa.
Dm
Yo, we gonna go ghost town, This motown,

With yo sound, You're in the place

Family Tradition
[Verse]
F
Country music singers,
Bb
Have always been a real close family,
C7
But lately some of my kinfolk,
F
Have disowned a few others and me,
Bb
I guess it's because, I kinda' changed my direction,
C7 F
Lord I guess I went and broke their family tradition,
They get on me and wanna' know Hank,
[Chorus]
F
Why do ya drink?,
Bb
Hank why do you roll smoke?,
C7 F
And why must you live out the songs that you wrote?,
Bb
Over and over every body met my prediction,
C7 F
If I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family tradition
[Verse]
I am very proud, of my daddy's name,
Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same,
Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position,
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition,
So don't ask me Hank,
[Chorus]
Why do ya drink?, Hank why do you roll smoke?,
And why must you live out the songs that you wrote?,
If I'm down in a honky tonk and some ol' slick tries to give me friction,
I'll say leave me alone I'm singin' all night long 'cause it's a,
family tradition
[Verse]
Lordy I have loved some ladies, and I have loved Jim Beam,
And they both tried to kill me, in 1973,
When that doctor asked me, son how'd ya get in this position?,
I said a hey sawbones I'm just a carrying on and ol' family tradition,
So don't ask me Hank,
[Outro]
Why do ya drink?, Hank why do you roll smoke?,
And why must you live out the songs that you wrote?,
Stop and think it over, try to put yourself in my unique position,
If I get stoned and sing all night long it's a family tradition.
Semi-Charmed Life
[Intro]
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
F
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
C Csus4 Bb
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
F C Csus4
Ovation her own motivation
Bb F
She comes around and she goes down on me
C Csus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Bb
Do ever what you want to do
F
Coming over you
C Csus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
Bb
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
[Pre-Chorus]
F C Csus4 Bb
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
F
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
C Csus4 Bb
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play she said
[Chorus 1]
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else
F
To get me through this
C Csus4 Bb
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else, I'm not listening
F C Csus4 Bb
when you say good---bye
[Post-chorus]
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 2]
F
The sky it was gold, it was rose
C Csus4 Bb
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
F
Some place back there
C Csus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Bb
Doing crystal meth will lift
you up until you break
F C
It won't stop I won't come down
Csus4 Bb
I keep stock with a tick-tock
rhythm, a bump for the drop
F
And then I bumped up
C Csus4
I took the hit that I was given
Bb
Then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, said
[Pre-Chorus]
C Bb
How do I get back there to
C
The place where I
Bb
fell asleep inside you?
C Bb
How do I get myself back to
C
The place where you said
[Chorus 1]
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else
F
To get me through this
C Csus4 Bb
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else, I'm not listening
F C Csus4 Bb
when you say Good---bye
[Verse 3]
F C
I believe in the sand
Bb
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
F
An earthy feeling
C
I believe in the
Bb
faith that grows
And the four right
F C Csus4
chords can make me cry
Bb
When I'm with you I
F
feel like I could die
And that would be
C Csus4 Bb
all right, all right
[Bridge]
C
and when the plane came in
Bb C
She said she was crashing
Bb
The velvet it rips in
C
the city we tripped
Bb
On the urge to feel alive
F
But now I'm struggling
to survive
C
Those days you were wearing
Bb
That velvet dress
C
You're the priestess
Bb
I must confess
C
Those little red panties
Bb
They pass the test
F (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
C Bb
One
C Bb
And you hold me
C Bb
and we're broken
F
Still it's all that I
wanna do just a little now
[Verse 4]
F C
Feel myself head
Csus4 Bb
made of the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming
F C Csus4 Bb
down, no no, and I won't
F C Csus4
run for my life
Bb
She's got her jaws now
F
locked down in a smile
C Csus4 Bb
But nothing is alright, alright
[Chorus 2]
F Csus4 Bb
I want something else
F Csus4
To get me through this
Bb
life, baby
F Csus4 Bb
I want something else
I'm not listening
F Csus4 Bb F/A Gm
when you say goodbye
Bb F/A Gm
goodbye
Bb F/A Gm
goodbye
F C Csus4 Bb F C Csus4 Bb

F C Csus4 Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
[Outro]
F
The sky it was gold it was rose
C Csus4 Bb
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
F
Some place back there
C Csus4 Bb
in the place you used to start
F C Csus4
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Bb
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
F C Csus4 Bb
I want something else
Bb F/A Gm (hold)
Torn
[Verse 1]
F Am
I thought I saw a man brought to life
Bb
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
Bb
He showed me what it was to cry
F Am
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
Am
You don't seem to know
Bb
Don't seem to care what your heart is for
Bb
But I don't know him anymore
[Pre Chorus 1]
Dm
There's nothing where he used to lie
C
My conversation has run dry
Am
That's what's going on
C
Nothing's fine
F
I'm torn
[Chorus 1]
(F) C Dm
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
Bb F
I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
C Dm
Illusion never changed, into something real
Bb F
I'm wide awake and I can see, the perfect sky is torn
C Dm (C) Bb
You're a little late, I'm already torn
[Verse 2]
F Am
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Bb
I should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
Bb
But you crawl beneath my veins and now
[Pre Chorus 2]
Dm
I don't care, I have no luck
C
I don't miss it all that much
Am
There's just so many things
C
That I can't touch
F
I'm torn
[Chorus 2]
(F) C Dm
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
Bb F
I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
C Dm
Illusion never changed, into something real
Bb F
I'm wide awake and I can see, the perfect sky is torn
C Dm (C) Bb
You're a little late, I'm already torn
[Bridge]
Dm (C) Bb Dm F C
Torn… Ooooh… Hoo ooooh… Ooooh
[Pre Chorus 3]
Dm
There's nothing where he used to lie
C
My inspiration has run dry
Am
That's what's going on
C
Nothing's right
F
I'm torn
[Chorus 3]
F C Dm
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
Bb F
I'm cold and I am shamed, lying naked on the floor
C Dm
Illusion never changed, into something real
Bb F
I'm wide awake and I can see, the perfect sky is torn
C Dm
I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
Bb F
I'm cold and I am shamed, bound and broken on the floor
C Dm (C) Bb
You're a little late, I'm already torn
[Outro]
Dm C
Torn…

Ooh…

Charlie and the MTA
F Bb
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
F C7
On a tragic and fateful day.
F Bb
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
F C7 F
Went to ride on the M T A.
F Bb
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
F C7
And his fate is still unlearned.
F Bb
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
F C7 F
He's the man who never returned.
F Bb
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
F C7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
F Bb
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
F C7 F
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
F Bb
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
F C7
Crying, "What will become of me?
F Bb
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
F C7 F
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
F Bb
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
F C7
Every day at a quarter past two.
F Bb
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
F C7 F
As the train goes rumbling through.
F Bb
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
F C7
How the people have to pay and pay?
F Bb
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
F C7 F
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads

'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
F Bb F C
On nights like this with the moon above
F Bb F C
D whale of a tale and it's all true
F C F
I swear by my tattoo
Dm Bb F C
There was Mermaid Minnie, met her down in Madagascar
Dm Bb F C
She would kiss me, any time that I would ask her
Dm Bb F Am C
Then one evening her flame of love blew out
F C
Blow me down and pick me up!

She swapped me for a trout

Dm Bb F C
When we kissed I bubbled up like molten lava

Then she gave me the scare of my young life

Blow me down and pick me up!

She was the captain's wife

My heart quivered when she whispered,

"I'm there, stranger"
Dm Bb
Bought her trinkets
F Am C
That sailors can't afford
F Am C
(Sailors can't afford)

And when I spent my last red cent

She tossed me overboard!

Dm C Dm C
Dm C Dm C
[Verse 1]
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
Now and then I think of when we were together
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Dm C Dm C
Told myself that you were right for me
Dm C Dm C
But felt so lonely in your company
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
[Bridge]

Dm C Dm C
[Verse]
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Dm C Dm
Like resignation to the end
C Dm C Dm C
Always the end
Dm C Dm C
So when we found that we could not make sense
Dm C Dm C
Well you said that we would still be friends
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb C
But you didn't have to cut me off
Dm C Bb
Make out like it never happened
C Dm
And that we were nothing
C Bb C
And I don't even need your love
Dm C
But you treat me like a stranger
Bb C
And that feels so rough
Dm C Bb C
You didn't have to stoop so low
Dm C Bb
Have your friends collect your records
C Dm
And then change your number
C Bb C
I guess that I don't need that though
Dm C Bb C
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
C
And I don't wanna live that way
C
Reading into every word you say
C
You said that you could let it go
C N.C.
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Chorus]
Dm C Bb C
But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened
