Gary Louris - True Blue

D...Am...D...Am

D
rusty wire

Am
bent to make a fence

D....................Am..........C/B
rows and rows of houses

C...........G.............D
cold and still until tomorrow
restless waters
colored by their stones
some ungrateful morning
kick the sand
stir up the powder


Bb.........F
strip me down

C....G................D
to what you can believe in

Bb........F...C..........G
place it on what is right and

D.....Am
true blue

today's the day
my branches bear their fruit
all my labor will be rewarded
then I awake
it's like starting over

riches and their thorns
crumble where they lay
revealing sparking secrets
to hold you would bring happiness
your absence sorrow

strip it down
to what you can rescue
place it on what is right and
true blue

shifting stages and shapes
giving up ground now
take another's place
holding one's own
as if you were just born

find a way
feel without a trace
feel fulfillment in this small corner
and no possessions to create sorrow

strip me down
to what you can believe in
place it on what is right and
true blue
true blue
true blue
true blue

Gary Louris - We'll Get By

Capo II

D.............D/C
everyone said

G...............................Em
take a sip from your tea of tears

D..........D/C
nobody cried

G...............................Em
for the passing of the lonely years
flat on my back
as I heard them calling out my name
lady in black
at the gathering for all who came

A..A/G

G............................Em........................A...A/G
we'll get by but we don't know how

G.............................Em
we'll get by but we don't know how

when I was young
little children how we used to play
chased the blues and the shadow lights away
oh how our laughter filled the air
even to the other fools to care

we'll get by but we don't know how
we'll get by but we don't know how
we'll get by but we don't know how
we'll get by but we don't know how

wallpapered halls
looking back at what it cost
the factory calls
finding days that we thought were lost
our little men
did they really expect to win when
morning it stands
between the piety and truth

we'll get by but we don't know how
we'll get by but we don't know how
we'll get by but we don't know how
we'll get by but we don't know how

a path for my feet

Mark Olson and Gary Louris - Bloody Hands

Capo II

Em
Was a girl

G
such a pretty girl

Em.....................G
hunched over an old man

Em
she wore a smile

C
such a crooked smile

F................................G
she had blood stains on her hands

C.................................G
she had blood stains on her hands

not so long
not so far away
a woman and her man
took a walk
just a sunday walk
on the outskirts of town
and he knocked that woman down


...........Bb.......F.........Em.......A
what the mind forgets the soul reclaims

C..................G
all my love's in vain

was a man
such a twisted man
he had something on his mind
for a child
and unwanted child
so he swung her round and round
and the river took her down

what the mind forgets the soul reclaims
all my love's in vain

golden curls
like her mothers own
the spirit of a man
all the while
she grew up single mind
to avenge her mother's soul
to avenge her mother's soul

what the mind forgets the soul reclaims
all my love's in vain

what the mind forgets the soul reclaims
all my love's in
all my love's in vain
