And times were hard for people like us

The clouds roll by and the moon comes up
How long must we live in the heat of the sun
Millions of people are waitin' on love
And this is a song about people like us

People like us
(Who answe the telephone)
People like us
(Growing big as a house)
People like us
(Gonna make it because)
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want someone to love.

Someone to love.
Someone to love.
Someone to love.

Songs: Ohia - Hold On Magnolia

Capo IV

F...C...F...C...Am...Em...G


F.....C....Am....Em...G...........................F..........C
Hold on Magnolia to that great highway moon

F..C.............Am.........Em
No one has to be that strong

...................G
But if you’re stubborn like me

.............................F............C
I know what you’re trying to be
Hold on Magnolia, I hear that station bell ring
You might be holding the last light I see
Before the dark finally gets a hold of me
Hold on Magnolia, I know what a true friend you’ve been
In my life I have had my doubts
But tonight I think I’ve worked it out with all of them
Hold on Magnolia to the thunder and the rain
To the lightning that has just signed my name to the bottom line
Hold on Magnolia to that great highway moon
No one has to be that strong
But if you’re stubborn like me
Hold on Magnolia, I hear that lonesome whistle whine
Hold on Magnolia
I think its almost time
Hold on Magnolia
I think its almost time

The Fox Hunt - Screw Me Up

G....Am..C


..G
I left her sleeping in her bed

.........................Am
now I'm not sure how

.....C
but stationed in the morning

......G
the Saturday night crowds

G
forget about the things I said

.........................Am
I'm always telling lies

...D
I told you I'd forget you

..................G
now you're all that's on my mind

there's a train that keeps me up at night
if I don't take my pills
and I'd quit but now just ain't the time
and I don't have the will
tired of feeling beaten down
lonesome and wrong
now nights I wished would never end
they all seem so damn long


...C
so screw me up and leave me

...G
a tattoo of your name

......D
and tell all of your friends

............G...............G7
that I'm no good anyway

.....C
it's no use looking around

.....................G.....G/F#......Em
I know you're on my mind to stay

......D
just screw me up and leave me

...G
a tattoo of your name


Em
I got a car but it's out of fuel

.......C
and me I'm out of cash

.......G
I'm almost out of cigarettes

..........D
these days they all go fast

and I've messed up one too many times
I'm just a bastard in your eyes
come on girl I need a place to stay
tonight

so screw me up and leave me
a tattoo of your name
and tell all of your friends
that I'm no good anyway
it's no use looking around
I know you're on my mind to stay
just screw me up and leave me
a tattoo of your name

just screw me up and leave me
a tattoo of your name
and tell all of your friends
that I'm no good anyway
it's no use looking around
I know you're on my mind to stay
just screw me up and leave me
a tattoo of your name
