I'll see you in my dreams

Sometimes I live in the country

Sometimes I live in the town

Sometimes I have a great notion

to jump into the river and drown

Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'

stop stayin' out late at night

Go home to your wife and your family

sit down by the fireside bright

I love Irene God knows I do

love her till the sea run dry

And if Irene turns her back on me

I'm gonna take morphine and die

If you want me to stay,

Gm7 C9 (or C7)

I'll be around today,

Fmaj7 E7

to be available for you to see.

But I am about to go,

And then you'll know,

For me to stay here I got to be me.

You'll never be in doubt,

That's what it's all about,

You can't take me for granted and smile.

Count the days I'm gone

Forget reachin' me by phone

Because I promise I'll be gone for a while.

And when you see me again,

I hope that you have been,

The kind of person....that you really are now.

Got to get in straight,

How could I ever be late,

When you're my woman taking up my time.

Whoa, oh how could I ever allow,

I guess I wonder how,

I could get out a pocket for fun. HOW HOW!!

When you know that you're never number two,

Number one's gonna be number one,

ohh oww oohh

I'll be good,

I wish I could

I get this message over to you now.

ahhh, yeah, message, mmmm

When you see me again,

I hope that you have been,

The kind of person you really are now.

I'll be so good, oh

I wish I could,

I get this message over to you now.

I don't want none of your time and (no)

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hangin' out the passenger side

Of his best friend's ride

Tryin' to holler at me

Verse 2:

Marry A Lighthouse Keeper

I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper, and live by the side of the sea

G G7

So ships at night can find their way

G [bass roll] E7 A7 D7 G

I wanna marry a lighthouse keeper, won't that be okay?

Bridge (and see alternate at end):

We'll take walks along the moonlit bay, maybe find treasure too

I'd love living in a lighthouse, how bout you?

[Titty over a verse]

G C G

I dream of living in a lighthouse baby, every single day

I dream of living in a lighthouse, the white one by the bay

G G7

So if you want to make my dreams come true

C Cm

You'll be a lighthouse keeper too

We could live in a lighthouse, the white one by the bay

E7 A7 D7 G

Hey hey! Won't that be okay?

Alternate bridge:

[start low voice]

D G D G

Early in the morning, risin' to the street

Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet

Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong

Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

I got a dalmation, and I can still get high

I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot

[high voice]

Well, life is (too short), so love the one you got

'Cause you might get runover or you might get shot

Never start no static I just get it off my chest

Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest

Take a small example, take a tip from me

Take all of your money, give it all to charity

Love is what I got

It's within my reach

And the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach

It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve

Try and test that you're bound to get served

Love's what I got

Don't start a riot

You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got

(That's) why I don't cry when my dog runs away

I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay

I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot

Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock

Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same

Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane

Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I said remember that

Lovin', is what I got, I got I got I got

Case Of You by Joni Mitchell

Joni key is C# on Blue and live in C (ish, since her Apalacian dulcimer isnt tuned to A440). This is a kind of loose arrangement I made, using Blackbird style chording to get a bit of that Joni dulcimer sound.

G* = x 10 0 10 x

G* D/F# (x900 10 x)

Just before our love got lost you said

Em7 (x7008x)

"I am as constant as the northern star"

Am (X3005X) G (X2003X)

And I said, "Constantly in the darkness

Am7 [Em7] D/F#

[Where's that at?] If you want me I'll be in the bar"

G D/F#

On the back of a cartoon coaster

Em7

In the blue TV screen light

Am G

I drew a map of Canada

G D/F# Em7

Oh Ca - na - da

Am7 D/F#

With your face sketched on it twice

Chorus:

C (x3005x) Bm (x2003x)

Oh, youre in my blood like holy wine

Am7 G

You taste so bitter and so sweet

G D/F# Em7

Oh I could drink a case of you and

Am7 [G] D/F#

Still I'd be on my feet

G

I'd still be on my feet

G D/F#

Oh I am a lonely painter

Em7

I live in a box of paints

Am G

I'm frightened by the devil

Am7 [Em7] D/F#

And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

G D/F#

I remember that time that you told me, you said

Em7

"Love is touching souls" [Surely you touched mine]

Am G

Cause part of you pours out of me

Am7 [Em7] D/F#

In these lines from time to time

Chorus:

C (x3005x) Bm (x2003x)

Oh, youre in my blood like holy wine

Am7 G

You taste so bitter and so sweet

G D/F# Em7

Oh I could drink a case of you and

Am7 [G] D/F#

Still I'd be on my feet

G

I'd still be on my feet

G D/F#

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours

Em7

She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds, and she said

Am G

"Go to him, stay with him if you can

Am7 D/F#

But be prepared to bleed"

Glory Box by Portishead

Good ol 90s goodness. Is this the sound that the 90s will be remembered for? Awesome cover by Faith No More in Em.

Album key is Ebm, but thats high for the chorus. Moveable shape so do in whatever key. I like Cm.

Whole song pattern:

Cm / Cm7/A# / Am7b5 / G#maj7 [G]

[Verse 1]

I'm so tired, of playing, playing with this bow and arrow,

Gonna give my heart away, leave it to the other girls to play,

For I've been a temptress too long,

[Chorus]

Give me a reason to love you,

Give me a reason to be,

a woman

I just wanna be a woman!

[Verse 2]

From this time, unchained, we're all looking at a different picture,

Through this new frame of mind, a thousand flowers could bloom,

Move over, and give us some room, yeah!

[Chorus]

[Solo over 2 bars]

[Verse 3]

So don't you stop being a man,

Just take a little look, from outside, when you can,

Sow a little tenderness,

It don't matter if you cry

[Chorus]

Bridge:

Cm Cm7/A# Am7b5 G#maj7

This is the beginning of forever, and ever!

And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

Chorus:

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

G F A

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

D

He had the nerve and he had the blood

A D

There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

D

We drifted on down into no man's land

C

We crossed the river called the Rio Grande

D

Raced my horse with the Spaniard's fole

A D

Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

D

Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree

C

We got in a fight over Tennessee

D

We pulled our guns and he fell with a thud

A D

And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

[chorus]

I rode right back across Arkansas

C

I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa

I found that girl with the golden hair

Pretty little baby on the cabin floor

And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare

Just lyrics:

Back about eighteen and twenty-five

I left Tennessee very much alive

I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud

If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee Stud

Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa

One of her brothers was a bad outlaw

I wrote a letter to my Uncle Spud And

I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

The color of the sun and his eyes were green

He had the nerve and he had the blood

There never was a horse like Tennessee Stud

Drifted on down into no man's land

Across the river called the Rio Grande

Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe

Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree

We got in a fight over Tennessee

Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud

And I rode away on a Tennessee Stud

[chorus]

I rode right back across Arkansas

I whipped her brother and

I whipped her Pa

I found that girl with the golden hair

She was riding on a Tennessee Mare

If you just let me follow you down.

I just want you to understand, baby please understand,

Well I'll do anything in this godalmighty world

if you just let me be your man.

I'll buy you a broken twine, honey, just for you to climb

I'll do anything in this godalmighty world

if you just once drive me out of my mind

I'll buy you a serpent skirt, I'll buy you a velvet shirt

I'll do anything in this godalmighty world

if you just don't make me hurt.

No more agony, please no more sorrow

Shut up and catch some Zs
