Great Lake Swimmers - Pulling on a Line

D

A...................G....................D.............A
The line runs through like a train in a book

A................G................D...................A
Or metres underwater, ending with a hook
It sways in the air when there's
wind enough to lift,
The fine ones are boundaries when
There is a rift


D...........................Bm
I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

G...........................D
I'm just pulling on a line

D..........................Bm
I'm just pulling on a line, on a line

G...............................D
Sometimes it pulls on me

The line, it inks across the freshly fallen snow,
Where only those embracing coldness would go
It whistles and it whispers, and sometimes it howls,
It sings to me sweetly from the trees and in vowels

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line
I'm just pulling on a line
I'm just pulling on a line, on a line,
And sometimes it pulls on me

The line, it writes itself across the dark sky,
In the electric flushes ending with a sigh
It weaves itself into a fabric so true
and flows just like the river, graceful and blue

I'm just pulling on a line, on a line,
I'm just pulling on a line
I'm just pulling on a line, on a line
And sometimes it pulls on me

Blue Mountain - Little Mountain Girl

G
does anyone remember

Em
does anybody care

D
the days we danced together

C
with feathers in our hair

rivers ran together
to sing a crystal tune
stones skipped on the water
circles round the moon


Em........Bm
ooh yeah yeah yeah

...............Em.........................................................D
when the full moon shines the mountain pines are swaying

Em........Bm
ooh yeah yeah yeah

Em........................................................D
close your eyes and listen to the guitars playing

built a box together
filled it full of songs
and buried it on the mountain
beneath a pile of bones

then we said goodbye forever
to the hell that was our home
and set out across the flatlands
for forty years to roam

ooh yeah yeah yeah
when the full moon shines the mountain pines are swaying
ooh yeah yeah yeah
close your eyes and listen to the guitars playin

F.........C

G.........C

G.........F
give me time

F.............................................C
this night's so crippled, clouded by you

disappear into the
slender of your back
as we near the industrial line
only twenty miles out
can't wait to get back to
the safeline
where the bright lights never flicker
they just blind

give me boilermakers
give me boilermakers
give me boilermakers
give me time
this night's so crippled, clouded by you

no insurance policy
or license to guard me
it don't matter now
cause were inside the city lines
still I disappear into the
calmness of your voice
and I'm held in your pale light hands
soon the dim lights
will grow bright
and they'll drown me in them

give me boilermakers
give me boilermakers
give me boilermakers
give me time
this night's so crippled, clouded by you

Phosphorescent - Walkin'

F#............................................B........F#
after carefully considering the whole situation

F#..........................C#
I stand with my back to the wall

F#....................B................F#
walkin' is better than running away

F#...................C#..............F#
and crawlin' ain't no good at all

so if guilty is the question then truth is the answer
well I've been lying to me all along
cause there ain't nothing worth saving 'cept one-another
so before you wake up I'll be gone

after carefully considering the whole situation
I stand with my back to the wall
walkin' is better than running away
and crawlin' ain't no good at all

after carefully considering the whole situation
I stand with my back to the wall
walkin' is better than running away
and crawlin' ain't no good at all
and crawlin' ain't no good at all

perhaps they were too scared to run

but that's ridiculous to
and nothing on which to found a country
still it makes me feel good
knowing in some obscure conclusive way
they are connected with me
me to them

they are connected with me
me to them

they are connected with me
me to them

they are connected with me
me to them

they are connected with me
me to them

Dragging Missouri River

G...........A............E
Dragging Missouri River

Who will be your lover's stranger?
Who will make your heart afraid?
The boys only found a sunken tree stump
Dragging Missouri River
Dragging Missouri River

B.............A
Are we so cold and distant?

G.............................A
No one swims out to save him in the river

B.....................A
Everyone saw, no one rememberd

E
How'd we get so tired and helpless?

E
How'd we get so tired and helpless?

How long does love live on empty?
When we see only love again
Love of one another sinking
Dragging Missouri River
Dragging Missouri River

Chamberlain wants you
Chamberlain wants you
Nothing has changed
The bridge, the same

*Thank you Jan for the lyrics*

NQ Arbuckle - In Another Time

A
in another time when I quit smoking

A
I don't drink as much

A......................D
and my heart isn't broken

..........A
when I wake up early and I can see clearly

A
with a haircut, clean clothes,

A......................D
newspaper, and coffee

....Bm..............................G
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

G...............................................................D
I'm gonna write a letter just to say "I hate you"


A


when my old car and shotgun are registered
my room is clean
and my debts are paid at the local bar
when Foggy Mountain Breakdown
isn't my favorite song
and I do all the normal stuff other people do
just to get along
I'll tell you how it's gonna be
I'm gonna write a letter just to say that you miss me

when the sun has turned to ice
and I think that you are nice
and I'm working out instead of drinking all night
and when I don't care
and I don't have no more nightmares
and I'm not the last drunk at the party in the armchair
I'll tell you what I'm gonna say
I'm gonna write a letter just to say "I'm okay"
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do

I'm home again

..........................A
back in my old corner chair

.....................B
if I only didn't care

......................................A..........................................E
I guess it really wouldn't matter where I might have been

E
drunk, wild, and free

...............................A
I've been clear out of line

............................................B
and this one really did it this time

.............E
or was it me

I said I'd love you so
she said, "baby, me too"
maybe I should've seen it through
these crying eyes that should've taught me what I really shouldn't know

E
guess I've figured I've been all around

...............................A....A/G#.........F#m
I know how to be a woman's kind of man

.....................................B
now I'm sitting where I am

why do lonely men and women want to break each other's hearts

Yeah, I'll be right here
same old faces same old crowd
bartender, one more beer
I wanna make sure that they hear me when I say, "go out"
I'll ask my friends how love and happiness can get so far apart
why do lonely men and women want to break each other's hearts
I'll ask my friends how love and happiness can get so far apart
why do lonely men and women want to break each other's hearts
