Mark Olson and Gary Louris - Chamberlin, SD

Rift (play with E chord)

B:-3--3-3-2-0



E....................A..........E
The lifeguards get off sleeping

E..................A...........E
The waitress sings of free cold biscuits

E.....................A..........E
The light in the morning sets you crying

G...........A............E
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*

Mark Olson and Gary Louris - Turn Your Pretty Name Around

Intro: F* Bb

Dm......................F
And then came disappointment

Bb..............F
a path for my feet

F.............C
when I was around you

Bb..................F
what's found is yours to keep

say that I'm your one and only
it's love I have for you
must have watched from your garden
oh say you'll come to stay

...........F*...............................Bb
you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around

..........F*................................Bb
you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around

..........F*................................Bb
you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around

C...Bb...F

and in times that I've wondered
what is right for me to do
stand out on my corner
hoping my streets will lead to you

just a side of you glory
like the time and time before
never meant to beg or borrow
sleep outside your little door

you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around
you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around
you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around


Bb.................................F
when we put our arms around each

.........Bb......C
it's not hard to tell

Bb.....................C
that your loving someone else

you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around
you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around
you've gone and let someone turn your pretty name around

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
