Wondering which of the buggers to blame
D Dsus4 D G
And watching for pigs on the wing.
Verse 2:
You know that I care what happens to you,
And I know that you care for me.
So I don't feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone,
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home,
A shelter from pigs on the wing.
To play it for reals, tune down a whole step as shown here. And heres a good youtube tutorial. But this mostly works too. Sounds good bossa nova stylee... Sounds really good down a whole step...
Dm9 = 022032
Csus4 = x33010
Bsus2add11 = xx4420
Bbsus2b11 = xx3310
Dm9 (x53555 or 022032)
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
Bb (or Csus4 = x33010)
Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
E7sus4 (or Bsus2add11 = xx4420)
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently downwind and out of sight
Bbmaj7 (or Bbsus2b11 = xx3310)
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while you can work on points of style
Like the club tie and the firm handshake, a certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
Titty (fun to sing the solo):
Dm9 Bb E7sus4 Bb7
You've gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's gonna get harder, harder and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer
[From here down is unconfirmed. The Am9(sus4) are probably really E7sus4.]

And when you lose control you'll reap the harvest you have sown
Dm C Dm C Dm Bb A
And as the fear grows the bad blood slows and turns to stone
Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
C Bb C Bb C Dm A
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
F A Dm
Dragged down by the stone
Bb7
Regular verse pattern:
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground how can I find my way out of the maze
Deaf, dumb and blind you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and noone has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart everyone's a killer

Originally in E, but doing in C (down a 4th) since E is way high for this, like all Cars stuff. See here for E.
Also nice in A. Verses are I - V - vi - III, chorus is I-V-IV-vi
Play with barres, power chord bassy sound. Melody starts on the 5th.

[Chorus x 2]
Reggae beat, A - G the whole time. Can sometimes go up to A - G - Bm7 ($5 dollars at the door...)
Transition to Get Up Stand Up.
We took this trip to garden grove
It smelt like lou dog in the van- o yeah
This ain't no funky reggae party $5 at the door
It gets so real sometimes who wrote my rhymes
I got the microwave got the vcr I got the duece duece
In the trunk of my car
If you only knew that all the love that I found
It's hard to keep my soul on the ground
You're a fool don't fuck around with my dog
All that i see I steal I filled up my garage
'cause in my mind music from jamaica
All the love that I found, pull over there's a reason
Why my soul is unsound
It's you it's that shit stuck under my shoe
It's that smell inside the van
It's my bed sheet covered with sand
Sitting through a shitty band
Getting dog shit on my hand
Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm
Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on the freeway
Feeling depressed every day
Leaving without making a sound
Pickin up my dog at the pound
Livin in a tweeker pad
Getting yelled at by my dad
Saying I'm happy when I'm not
Finding roaches in the pot
All these things I do
They're waiting for you
Do with same beat as with Garden Grove. A - G. Actual song uses Bm - F I think.
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Preacher man, don't tell me,
Heaven is over the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold
Half that story has never been told
So now you see the light
Stand up for your rights (come on!)
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Most people think,
Great god will come from the sky.
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
Stand up for your rights.
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
You know were sick and tired of your bullshit game
Die and go to heaven in-a Jesus' name
We know and we understand:
Almighty god is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (what you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,

In everyman chest, mm - there beats a heart.
So soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionaries;

Album key is A, which is really nice on guitar, since the A bar goes down to the C#m bar, to the F# bar, to the E. Its high to sing there, but maybe possible.E is here, which is low but easy, and G is below that, which might be nice. And A below that.

It was upon a foggy night, an abandoned road
In a twilight mirror mirage
With no indication
Of any kind of service station
Or an all night garage, I was misinformed
I was misdirected 'cause the interchange
Never intersected leaving me marooned
Beneath a bloodshot moon
All upon a foggy night, foggy night
All upon a foggy night, it's kind of an abandoned road
Blurred brocade collage
Is that a road motel? I can't really tell
You got to tell me is that a vacancy lodge
There's no consolation
What kind of situation
To be aimlessly skewed
Amidst a powder blue? No tell tail light clue
[Incomprehensible] is like a spell you spin
This precarious pandemonium
[Incomprehensible] I'm stranded, all upon a foggy night
Like a sweet thick [Incomprehensible] or a Broadway arcade
Heads you win, tails I loose and ramblin' and gamblin'
All upon a foggy night, foggy night
Foggy night, foggy night
You got to fight [Incomprehensible] on my personality
All upon a foggy night, all upon a foggy night
All upon a foggy night, on a foggy night
All upon a foggy, all upon a foggy night

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance

And all the leaves on the trees are fallin'
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the callin'
Of your heart strings that play soft and low

And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush

Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can't wait 'til the morning has come
And I know now the time is just right
And straight in to my arms you will run
And when you come, my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you're never alone
There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then, I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can't hide
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?
Can I just make some more romance with you, my love?
One more moon dance with you
In the moon light, on a magic night
All the moon light, on a magic night
Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?

I knew a girl named Nikki, I guess you could say she was a sex fiend
E B F#
I met her in a hotel lobby, masturbating with a magazine
G
She said how'd you like to waste some time,
F#
and I couldn't resist when I saw little Nikki grind
Fill power barre chord riff: BBBDB BBBDB D EDC# (x2)
B G
She took me to her castle And I just couldn't believe my eyes
E B F#
She had so many devices Everything that money could buy
G
She said sign your name on the dotted line
F#
The lights went out, and Nikki started to grind
B G
The castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain
E
I can't tell you what she did to me
B F#
but my body will never be the same
G
Her lovin' will kick your behind
F#
Just to show you no mercy
B G
Woke up the next morning Nikki wasn't there
E B F#
I looked all over and all I found was a phone number on the stairs
G
It said thank you for a funky time
F#
Call me up whenever you want to grind
Sounds nice with just the Am - G the whole song. I think technically theres an Em in there (see 2nd line), but I think it takes away from the nice minimal sound.
Am G
Dig if u will a picture
Am
Of u and I engaged in a kiss
G
The sweat of your body covers me
(Em?)
Can u my darling
(G? or E?) Am
Can u picture this?
Dream if u can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
(E major?)
The heat between me and you
Chorus:
How can u just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe Im just 2 demanding
Em G
Maybe Im just like my father too bold
Am G
Maybe you're just like my mother
Shes never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

Bbm Bbm7 Gbmaj7

I guess I must be dumb 'cause you had a pocket full of horses
Bbm Bbm7 Gbmaj7

but it was Saturday night

And honey I say:

baby you're much too fast.
Gb Ab Db

Gb Ab Absus Ab
you need a love that's gonna last.
Verse 2:
Guess I should have closed my eyes
when you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
'cause I felt a little ill
When I saw all the pictures of the jockeys
that were there before me.
Believe it or not, I started to worry,
wondering if I had enough class.
But it was Saturday Night,
I guess that makes it alright.
And you said, Baby, have you got enough gas? Oh yeah!
Chorus
Bridge:
Bbm7
A body like yours ought to be in jail

'Cause it's on the verge of bein' obscene.
Move over baby

give me the keys.
Bbm7 Ab
I'm gonna try to tame your little red love machine.
Chorus
The version I found has these goofy 9th chords. Super unconfirmed. Playing with regular Cm7, Dbmaj7 and Ebm7 is probably right.
As far as melody, starts on the 5th in the verses, starts on the 7th in the chorus.
CHORDS USED
Cm9 x 3 5 5 3 3

VERSE 1 (same pattern throughout song)
Cm7 (Cm9) Dbmaj7 (Dbmaj9)
One more card and it's 22
Ebm7 Dbmaj7 (Dbmaj9)
Unlucky 4 him again
Cm9 Dbmaj9
He never had respect 4 money it's true
Ebm7 Dbmaj9
That's why he never wins
Cm9 Dbmaj9 Ebm7 Dbmaj9
That's why he never ever has enough 2 treat his lady right
Cm7 Dbmaj9
He just pushes her away in a huff
Ebm7 Dbmaj9
And says Money don't matter 2night
Chorus:
Money don't matter 2night
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when U think U've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away
That's when U find out that U're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
Cuz money didn't matter yesterday
And it sure don't matter 2night
Look, here's a cool investment
They're tellin' him he just can't lose
So he goes off and tries to find a partner
But all he finds are users
All he finds are snakes of every color
Every nationality and size
Seems like the only thing he can do
Is just roll his eyes, and say....
Chorus
[titty kazoo]
(youll need a lot of breath here...)
Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason
To send a child off to war
So what if we're controlling all the oil?
Is it worth a child dying for?
If long life is what we all live for
Then long life will come to pass
Anything is better than the picture of the child
In a cloud of gas... and you think you got it bad
Chorus, repeat
Really hard to get the chord changes right, and its super high... See afterwards for it in D, easier.
I think the album is F, which is afterwards.

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she draws
On every wall, in every school, but it's alright, it's 4 a worthy cause

In France, a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance, his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen year old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called 'The Disciples'
High on crack, toting a machine gun
Time, times
Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling off a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
Is telling you somebody died
A sister killed her baby
'Cuz she couldn't afford to feed it,
and we're sending people to the moon

For the very first time

Same pattern during Cats rap:
Talk 2 me lover
Come on tell me what U taste
Didn't your mama tell U life is too good to waste?
Didn't she tell U
That Lovesexy was the glam of them all?
If U can hang, U can trip on it
U surely won't fall (Put your love down)
No side effects and
The feeling last 4-ever
Straight up - it tastes good
It makes U feel clever (Put your love down)
U kiss your enemies
Like U know U should
Then U jerk your body
Like a horny pony would (Put your love down)
U jerk your body like a horny pony would
Now run and tell your mama about that!
And while U're at it tell your papa about this
[Bridge: Dm6 - 10-x-9-10-10-10, strummed funky...]
Yeah-yeah
Put your love down there when u wanna get shot
No! (Yeah, yeah)
Put your love down there when u wanna get shot
Put your love down there when u wanna get shot
Put your love down there when u wanna get shot
Put your love down there...
Get home, Alphabet Street
No!

And well try 2 imagine what it looks like
Yeah, well try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, well try 2 imagine what silence looks like
Yeah, well try
Repeat verse 2
A7sus2: x02203 or x02200 (thoroughly optional)
CHORUS:
A
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love and we will smoke them all
G A
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe will ever compare
E
I am yours now and U are mine
And 2gether we'll love through all space and time
So don't cry
A
One day all 7 will die
A (A7sus2) A (A7sus2)
And I saw an angel come down unto me
A (A7sus2) A (A7sus2)
And in her hand she holds the very key
G
Words of compassion, words of peace
A (A7sus2) A (A7sus2)
And in the distance an army's marching feet
E7 A (A7sus2)
But behold, we will watch them fall
And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright, (that's alright)
4 I will watch them fall(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
CHORUS
And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here
There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall
CHORUS

Bridge:
G
"Oh, my favorite song," she said
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"
(Ring) The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Em7
Right then and there I knew I was through
[My pants were wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie
Cuz she hadn't read the book first]
Am7 Ab-5
Instead she pretended she was blind
Em7 F#m7
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Fmaj7
Dorothy made me laugh
B Em
I felt much better so I went back 2 the violent room
Let me tell U what I did
Bridge (different ending)
G
I took another bubble bath
with my pants on
All the fighting stopped

Next time I'll do it sooner
Am B+
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
