Richmond Fontaine - Calm

Capo IV


................G........Em.........D
can't calm down

.........G...........Em........D
it's been years

............C
in Nevada

.................................................G.........Em........D
casinos don't hold me like they once did

.............................C
and barely my girlfriend

........................................G........Em........D
with her quiet laugh and strong will

.......................C
it seems like all the bars

............................................D
must be dark and the music must be cold(?)


G........G/F#..............Em..........C
I'm not trying to push anything down

G.........G/F#.......Em.............C
I'm just trying to calm down

.....G...........G/F#..............Em.........C
and I'm not trying to knock anyone down


it's the uncertainty of time
claustrophobic air
surround myself in pills
that wouldn't really be me at all
so sometimes late at night
I will walk around
for a moment I'll have certainty
for a little time I will feel good

..........................Em.......G
but then I'll feel it go

....................Em..............G
and I'll blame everyone

D
that I know

but I'm not trying to put anyone down
I'm just trying to calm down
and I'm not trying to knock anyone around
I'm just trying to calm down

D

.............C............D
it's been years

..................C
and it's been years

and I'm not trying to knock anyone down
I'm just trying to calm down
and I'm not trying to put anyone down
I'm just trying to calm down

Wilco - You and I

Capo III

C...Am...C...Am


C.........Am
you and I

C.................Am
we might be strangers

C............F....................Em
however close we get sometimes

.................C
it's like we never met

F................G
but you and I

F.....................G
I think we can take it

F........Em
all the good with the bad

Am..............................F
make something that no one else has but

C..........F
you and I

C...........F
you and I

me and you
what can we do
when the words we use sometimes
are misconstrued
well I won't guess
what's coming next
I can't ever tell you
the deepest well I've ever fallen into

F
oh I don't wanna know

Em
oh I don't wanna know

F
oh I don't need to know

G
everything about you

F
oh I don't wanna know

Am.......Bb...............Am
and you don't need to know

F.........................G
that much about me

you and I
we might be strangers
however close we get sometimes
it's like we never met
but you and I
I think we can take it
all the good with the bad
make something that no one else has
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I

Jason Isbell - The Blue

E..A...B..C#m

E.......A....................B........C#m
Don't roll away that stone, girl

E.A......................B......C#m
Leave it where it lay
You think he's coming home but you know it's not today
I think the road will break me and never fill the holes,
but every time I'm saved I stop beating out a soul

C#m...................A...................E...............B
I'm too scared to ask the right questions
and too tired to fill the right shoes
so I'll take advantage of the blues
I'll take advantage of the blue

There really ain't no difference
in Michigan and Maine
If you ain't here to see this I'm missing just the same
Your skin as soft as water, same temperature as me
I'd never know I touched you if you didn't let me see

I'd crawl to meet you if you'd just stay there,
and finally have a thing I couldn't bear to lose
So I'll take advantage of the blues
I'll take advantage of the blue

Mark me up so they can see the best of me
Hold me down so I can't find a drink
Dance so I don't have to think

Unfamiliar place

In the sand and I was

Lucky to be alive

David Baerwald - Crash

*Request from Blaise*

C.................F
Rachel got into the backseat

C...........................F
cut her knee on the broken glass

C.......................................F
Tore her stockings on the ashtray

C.........................................Am
let the air float through her hands.

Am........F......................Am
We were far, so far from sober

.............F.........................C
we were driving much to fast

C...........................F
Slip slide we were taking a ride

C...........................F
Slip slide we were taking a ride

C...........................F
Slip slide we were taking a ride

C...........................F
Slip slide we were taking a ride

............Am......F.....Am.....F
And we crashed

......C
We crashed

Metal hurts so when it hits you
flesh and blood like hand blown glass
Like a harpy trying to kiss you
protection nothing then you crash
Rachel stop and look me over
she asked me when she knew me last

Slip slide we were taking a ride
Slip slide we were taking a ride
Slip slide we were taking a ride
Slip slide we were taking a ride
And we crashed
We crashed

Am.......F
Oh my baby, are you hurt?

Am.......F
Oh my baby, are you burned?

C.....................................F
Let me kiss and make it better (3X)

Rachel can you quite forgive me
can you make it go away?
Can you get you your sweet smooth skin back
is it much too late for that?
We were far, so far from sober
we were driving much too fast

Slip slide we were taking a ride
Slip slide we were taking a ride
Slip slide we were taking a ride
Slip slide we were taking a ride
And we crashed
We crashed

Blue Mountain - Soul Sister

G.........................D
she used to be my soul sister

Em.....................C
best friend I ever had

..........G.............D..........C
till my mind got twisted all around
now she's gone and I miss her
some nights so bad
I'm hoping that she'll come back around

the first time I saw her
was the summer I turned fourteen
she was sitting on the hood of a car at a drive-in show
I saw a tear roll down her face
as she gazed up at the screen
and her black hair in the wind began to blow

F.......C.......G
shine on soul sister

F...................C............................G
she's my only bright light in this town

F......C........G
she's my soul sister

G..............................D.....................C
and I'm hoping that she'll come back around

the last time I saw her
was through the bottom of a glass
I was struggling to hold my head up off the floor
I called her name out once or twice
but she moved just a little too fast
and she walked out of my life and slammed the door

shine on soul sister
she's my only bright light in this town
she's my soul sister
and I'm hoping that she'll come back around

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

Richmond Fontaine - Give Me Time

C..........G........................C
pass the houselines and the

F...........................C
apartment buildings

G...............C
casino lights

C...............................F.............................C
when I'm looking out thirteen miles outside

........G....................C
don't stop unless you

F........C
have to

.....G................C...F
and keep the line straight

F
and


C
give me boilermakers

F.........C
give me boilermakers

G.........C
give me boilermakers

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
