@6 Like A Hurricane (by inges@??? from the decade file)
G C G
GDon't call pretty Peggy,
CShe can't hear you no Gmore
Don't leave no message
CRound her back Gdoor
They say the Cold laughing lady
Been here beGfore
She Ddon't keep time C
She don't count Gscore
G C G
GYou can't have a cupboard
CIf there ain't no Gwall
You got to move
CThere's no time for you to stall
C020010 Am
They say the old laughing lady
Dropped Cby to Dcall G
And Dwhen she leaves Am
She leaves Cnothing at Gall
verse: (without the run through Am)
GSee the drunkard of the village
CFallin' on his Gfeet
He can't tell his ankle
CFrom the rest of his Gfeet
C020010 Am
He loves his old laughing lady
Because the Ctaste is so Gsweet Bm
But the Dlaughin' lady's loving
Ain't the Amkind he can Ckeep G
D Am C G
There's a Gfever on the freeway
CBlacks out the Gnight
There's a slippin' on the stairway
Just Cdon't feel right G
There's a Crumblin' in the bedroom
And a Cflashin' of Glight
DThere's the old laughing lady
EveryCthing is all right G
DThere's the old laughing lady
EveryCthing is all right G
D Am C G
notes: the quick change to C and G at the end on many lines is omitted
the run through from C to Am via the B note is a familiar ny trick...
(Tune the guitar down to D)
E E E E
EOh hello Mr. Soul I droped by to pick up a reason
For the Ethought that I'd caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in Acrowds just a trace of my face should seem so Epleasin'
I'll Dcop out to the change but a Astranger is putting the Etease on
D G Dx2
I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have esaily known me better
She said 'You're stange, but don't change' and I let her
D
In a while well the smile on my face turned to plaster
Stick around while the clown who was sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know - why don't you ask her
Is it Dstrange I should change? I don't Aknow
Is it Dstrange I should change? I don't Aknow

They killed us in our teepees

But the firesticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the settin' sun

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my indian rug and a pipe to share

(verse:)
I wish I was a trapper
I would give a thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas
and find out how she felt
In the mornin' on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen

And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood

Take the simple case of the sarge
Who wouldn't go back to war
Because the hippies tore down every -
Thing that he was fighting for
Or the lovers on the blanket
The city turned to whores
With memories of green kissed by the sun
You can say the soul is gone
And close another page
Just be sure that yours is not the one

And I'm Bbsinging for the Fstringman
Who Bblately lost his Fwife

And you could have been anyone to me.

Perfect feeling when time just slips

this is only a basic outlay - there are lots of variations you can do:
hammering on or not, using the 5th string (the root of the chord) or the
open 4th string (D) as the bass note, or to alternate. eg

CWith dream Gcomfort memory to Fspare,
CAnd in my Gmind I still Fneed a place to go,

Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us...

Men with flash-lights waving
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight savings

C G F
There is a town in north Ontario,
C G F
With dream comfort memory to spare,
C G F
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
C G F
All my changes were there,
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us...
C G F
Helpless, helpless, helpless
C G F
Baby can you hear me now?
C G F
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
C G F
Baby, sing with me somehow.

Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say
G D
Just like children sleepin' we could dream this night away.
G D
But there's a full moon rising, let's go dancing in the light.
G D
We know where the music's playing, lets go out and feel the night.

G A Em
Because I'm still in love with you, I wanna see you dance again,
A D
Because I'm still in love with you, on this harvest moon.
intro:
When we were strangers I watched you from afar
When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late and the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate, see it shinin' in your eye

Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley Davidson

You own it
There's a weight on you
But you can't feel it
Livin' like I do
It's hard to see it
Was I hurt too bad?
Can I show you daylight?
How could I be sad
When I know that you might
Look out for my love (x4)
C
Look out for my love
Em(7)
It's in your neighbourhood
Am
I know things are gonna change
G
But I can't say good or bad
Silver wings of morning
Shining in the grey day
While the ice is forming
On a lonely runway
Hydraulic wipers pumping
Till the window glistens
Something saying something
But no one seems to listen
Men wth walkie-talkies
Men with flash-lights waving
Up upon the tower
Time reads daylight savings
I'm home again to you babe
You know it makes me wonder
Sittin' in the quiet slipstream
In the thunder
