2. Raise the Dead (Written by Emmylou Harris)
Verse 1:
D
Hank Williams died when I was five,
He sang I'll never get out of this world alive,
G
Now it's been a long time since I was that kid..
D
And I've seen a lot more than Hank ever did
A
I've done the down and out of every dark-end dive,
D
But I'll never get out of your love alive
{Verse 2:} Sam Cooke met the woman at the well,
She told him that his song was something he could never sell
But I think he knew a change was gonna come,
Still he lived to fast and he died too young.
Well, dying young, I have survived,
But I'll never get out of your love alive
Bridge:
G
I got washed in the blood of Bill Monroe
D
When he sang about the blues and the body and soul
G
He believed in a God that could raise the dead,
D
Still it's a mighty dark night to travel, he said
A
I've seen a mighty dark night and I made that drive
D
But I'll never get out of your live
{Solo}
{Verse 3:} Robert Johnson had a hell hound on his trail,
It drove him to the coffin like a hammer and a nail.
It takes a powerful man to carry that load
When you're trying to beat the devil to the old crossroads.
I wrestled the devil, lived to testify,
But I'll never get out of your love alive.
{D until end..}
3. For A Dancer (Written by Jackson Browne)
CAPO 3
Intro: D G D G
Verse 1:
D G
Keep a fire burning in your eyes
D G
Pay attention to the open skies
D G D A
You never know what will be coming down
{Verse 2:} I don't remember losing track of you,
You were always dancing in and out of view.
I must've thought you would always be around..
Bm G D
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
A D G
Now you're nowhere to be found..
{Verse 3:} I don't know what happens when people die;
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try,
It's like a song I can hear, playing right in my ear..
D A
..That I can't sing, I can't help listening..
{Verse 4: I can't help feelin' stupid standin' around,
Cryin' as they ease you down,
'cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancin'..
A Bm G
..Dancin' our sorrow away (right on dancin')
D A
No matter what fate chooses to play (there's nothing you can do about it anyway)
Chorus:
D G D
Just do the steps that you've been shown
G D A
By everyone you've ever known
Bm D7 G
Until the dance becomes your very own
A
No matter how close to yours
Bm G
Another's steps have grown
D A D G D G
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
{SOLO}
{Verse 5:} Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go driftin' into space
You never know what will be comin' down
{Verse 6:} Perhaps a better world is drawing near,
Just as easily, it could all disappear,
Along with whatever meaning you might've found..
{Bridge:} Don't let the uncertainty turn you around
Go on and make joyful sound
{Chorus:} Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive..
G
..And the time you go
D A
May lie a reason you were alive
D
But you'll never know...
4. Western Wall (Written by Rosanne Cash)
CAPO 3
Intro: G Em..2x
Verse 1:
G
I stand here by the Western Wall,
Em
Maybe a little of that wall stands inside of us all
G
I shove my prayers in the crack
Em
I've got nothing to lose, no one to answer back
Chorus/Bridge:
C Am C
All these years I brought up for review
C Am C
Wasn't taught this but I learned somethin' new
C Am D
And to answer a distant call
G Em
At the Western Wall..
{Verse 2:} I've got a heart full of fear
And I offer it up on this alter of tears
Red dust settles deep in my skin
I don't know where it starts and where I begin
{Chorus/Bridge 2:} It's a crumblin' pile of broken stones.
It ain't much but it might be home.
If I ever loved a place at all,
It's the Western Wall
{SOLO}
{Chorus/Bridge 3:} I don't know if God was ever a man,
But if She was, I think I understand
Why He found a place to break his fall
Near the Western Wall...
5. 1917 (Written by David Olney)
Gm Cm
The strange young man who comes to me
D7 Gm
A soldier on a three day spree
Gm Cm
He needs one night's cheap ecstasy
D7 Gm
And a woman's arms to hide him
Gm Cm
He greets me with a courtly bow
D7 Gm
And hides his pain by acting proud
Gm Cm
He drinks too much and he laughs too loud
D7 Gm
How can I deny him.
Gm F7
Bb F
Let us dance beneath the moon
Cm Gm
I'll sing to you 'Claire de Lune'
Bb F
The morning always comes too soon
D7 Gm
But tonight the war is over
{Verse 2:} He speaks to me in schoolboy French,
Of a soldier's life inside a trench.
And the look of death, and the ghastly stench.
I do my best to please him..
{Chorus:} Hold me 'neath the Paris skies,
Let's not talk of how or why.
Tomorrow's soon enough to die,
But tonight the war is over.
{Verse 3:} We make love too hard, too fast.
He falls asleep, his face a mask.
He wakes with the shakes, and he drinks from his flask.
I put my arms around him.
{Chorus:} Old world glory, old world fame,
The whole world's gone, gone up in flames.
Nothing will ever be the same,
And nothing lasts forever.
{Verse 4:} (Spoken) Oh, I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how,
And there's nothing, nothing that can save him now.
And there's always another with that same funny bow,
(sung) And who am I to deny him?
{Chorus: French words and lalalalas...hehe sorry, not typing it..}
D7 Gm
But tonight the war is over

8. Sisters of Mercy (Written by Leonard Cohen)
CAPO 6
Verse 1:
G C
Oh the sisters of mercy
G D G C G
They are not departed or gone
Bm F#m
They were waiting for me
Bm F#m D Dsus D
When I thought that I just can't go on
C G
And they brought me their comfort
F# Em D Dsus D
And later they brought me this song
G C
Oh I hope you run into them
G D G C G D
You who've been travelling so long
{Verse 2:} Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.
Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned:
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.
{Verse 3:} Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem.
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
They will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
{Verse 4:}
When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
And you won't make me jealous if I find that they've sweetened your night:
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.
9. Falling Down (Written by Patty Griffin)
CAPO 1
Verse 1:
D
Falling down
I'm falling down
I need to sleep
Come a long long way
G
No time for weepin
No time for weepin
D
Quiet now I'm falling down
D
I'm falling down
{Verse 2:} I have heard a million tales
I have told a million more
Some of them
Must have been true
But I don't know
Anymore
I'm falling down.
{SOLO}

Do your dance on my head

Heavy steps of the dead

Everything the snow surrounds

10. Valerie (Written by Patti Scialfa)
CAPO 4
Verse 1:
G
To the east the factories stand like fire-
D
-breathing dragons against the sky
G
And from their throats a scarlet river burns-
D
-itself into smoky lullabies
C
Over neon and fluorescent skies Valerie,
{Chorus:}
Can you hear those engines drone
G
I wanted to go to NewMexico
D
But I'm stranded-here alone
C
And once, I knew a true love-
It's been -three years since he's gone
G
And if I could get that feeling back
D C G
I'd give up everything I own
{Verse 2:} Sixteen days since I left Corona and I-
-traveled to this carnival town near Alberndee.
And I rode the coasters there on the fairgrounds,
Twisted backbone of a beat that never heals..
And I left some skin on Fortune's wheel, Valerie
{Chorus}
Bridge:
C
Everything's in slow motion now
D
In this little border town
C D
I've come so close from so far
C
Just to hide behind these windows here
D
From the world outside
C
I watch those cars and trucks raise trails of dust
D C
Down the road as they pass by Valerie...
{Chorus}
C G
Everything I own
C G
Everything I own
11. This Is To Mother You (Written by Sinead O'Conner)
Sorry, I can't really do this one right now...I'll get to this one at some point :S
12. All I Left Behind (Written by Emmylou Harris, Kate McGarrigle & Anna McGarrigle)
CAPO 3
G
Verse 1:
Em C G
All I left behind should come as no surprise
D G
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eyes
Em C G
Only little things inconsequential I could say
D G
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
D G
Silver earrings in Wichita
D G
Beaded moccasins in Tonapah
D
But I had you so
G
I just let them go
{Verse 2:} Flannel shirt I wore, to keep me from the cold
When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo.
Leather boots I bought, so many miles ago.
I took them off to follow you into the Ohio.
Never did my armour feel so thin
Silk was all I had between me and your skin.
But like Waterloo,
I lost that too.
{Interlude -- verse chords over}
Bridge:
D G
And the golden bracelet with my father's name inscribed
D G
On the back. By the one who loved him all her life
D
The way I too,
G
Could have loved you
{Verse 3:} The Spanish shawl, I put across the broken shade
Of a lamp that lit the room at last night near Coeur d'Alene
Only little things inconsequential I could say
Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway
Of all I behind...
13. Across the Border (Written by Bruce Springsteen)
CAPO 2
G C G D
Verse 1 & 2:
G
Tonight my bag is packed
C G
Tommorrow I'll walk these tracks
D G
That will lead me across the border
G
Tommorrow my love and I
C G
Will sleep 'neath auburn skies
D G
Somewhere across the border
{Bridge 1:}
C
We'll leave behind my dear
D
The pain and sadness we found here
G C
And we'll drink from the Brazos muddy waters
G
Where the sky grows gray and wide
C G
We'll meet on the other side
D G
There across the border
{Verse 3 & 4:} For me you'll build a house
High upon a grassy hill
Somewhere across the border
Where pain and memory
Pain and memory have been stilled
There across the border
{Bridges until end:}And sweet blossoms fill the air
Pastures of gold and green
Roll down into cool clear waters
And in your arms 'neath open skies
I'll kiss the sorrow from your eyes
There across the border
(Interlude)
Tonight we'll sing the songs
I'll dream of you my corazón
And tomorrow my heart will be strong
And may the saints' blessing and grace
Carry me safely into your arms
There across the border
For what are we
Without hope in our hearts
That someday we'll drink from God's blessed waters
And eat the fruit from the vine
I know love and fortune will be mine
Somewhere across the border
Enjoy!
