The Ballad Of Mary Foster Tom: E
E D A G E
David Foster lives in Gloucester with his family
E D A G E
Works 'til pay-time, through the day-time, then comes home for tea
A G D A E
Steak and kidney, then with Sydney to his club and feels free
D A G Em E
They close the bar, he finds his car and then goes home to sleep
And his wife has been with Rosie, in the parlour where it's cosy
D7
Watching telly, doing dishes, patching pants and making wishes
E
And he'll say "Bill should have wired" and "Not tonight dear, I'm too tired"
D E
And life drifts slowly by in the provinces
Peter Foster goes to Gloucester for his first school day
Bites his teacher, sees a preacher and is taught to pray
Sees some birds and learns some words it's very, very rude to say
Yes, he's rather like his father was in his young day
And his father has discussions, holding forth about the Russians
"Will the Red Chinese attack us?"
"Do we need the Yanks to back us?
"And in bed she feels his shoulder, but he grunts and just turns over
And life drifts slowly by in the provinces
Am E Am C F E
Wedding rings come with strings but love depends on the little things
Am E
"Oh could that still be really you?"
Am C F E D A G(bend up) E
"Is there anything time can't do?"
David Foster's been promoted, he's a decent sort
Peter's gone to Dad's old Public School, it's good for sport
They've even got a private parking place down in Huntingdon Court
Maybe soon he'll be a magistrate, the neighbours thought
Yes, and then he'll teach the beatniks
And the hang-around-the-streetnicks
And the good-for-nothing loafers
Who knock girls up on their sofas
And his wife is quite nice, really
C
Though she seems a little dreamy
F C Dm C Dm
Recently...
Dm F G Bb
I was born and brought up on the east side of town
Dm F A
And my earliest days they passed quickly
Dm F G Bb
I would play after school with the kids all around
Dm C Bb
In the sun and the dust of the back streets
Oh, all through my girlhood the war had its day And my daddy he would always be leaving So my brother and I we would sit by her side Telling our tales through the evening
Oh, I grew with the days and the boys came to cal lIn the back shed I learned about kissing But I don't think my mother has noticed at all For we've heard that my daddy is missing
Then my school days they were over and I went off to work And my mother grew quieter and greyer So one day I left her and went off to live With Billy, a saxophone player
In our broken down attic we laughed and made love And all that we had we were sharing Oh, we slept through the day and played into the night God, we did as we pleased without caring
Oh but a year's passed away and he's left me one day To play in a far away country And the sun told my eyes "You've got no place to hide" As I waited to be having his baby
Oh I lived in the park and the men passed and stared Each wondering which one had lost her And one came to ask could he buy me a meal And he said he was called David Foster
We were married that month and I swore to myself Somehow I'd pay back what I owed him Cooking his supper and cleaning his boots Yes, and kidding myself I could love him
Oh, but now my baby is grown and he's gone out to school And he looks very much like his daddy And David has buried himself in his work And the time on my hands, it hangs heavy
Oh, the neighbours they smile as we pass in the streets And they make their remarks on the weather But the butcher and baker deliver things now And I've stopped going out altogether
Oh, I live by my mirror and stare in my eyes Trying to make out who I see there But I'm looking at a woman that I can't recognize And I don't think she knows me either
Dm F G Bb
There are lines on her face and her hair is a mess
Dm F A
And the light in her eyes it grows colder
Dm F G Bb
In the morning there's nothing will change, ah but yes
Dm C Bb G D C D
I will be just a little bit older
Last Days Of The Century Tom: Em Intro: Em D
Em
When the cock crows
D/A Em
And the wind blows
D/A Em D/A
And the primrose of dawn
Em
Is at your windows
Cmaj7 D/F#
Moving through the deep
Cmaj7 D/F#
You chase dreams accross your sleep
Em
Scarecrows
D/A Em
Waiting at your door
G D
In the last days of the century
G D
Leaning from your balcony
Am Em
You said: This is how it's meant to be
Cmaj7 D
Can't you feel it in the air?
G D
See that light come shining down
G D
All the way to Chinatown
Am Em
See it shine from miles around
Cmaj7 Bm7
Reflecting everywhere
Marion The Chtelaine Tom: D
D A
When the great collector found her
D A
She was just a girl
D A
She rang a chord inside him
D Bm F#m Em
And he stole her to the centre of his world
F# Bm G
Many wished they could be in her shoes
D A D
But she surely did know how to have the blues
He tried to make a star of her She never did know why And though she could have told him There were some things that his money couldn't buy She never knew a way to refuse But she surely did know how to have the blues
Chorus:
Em F#m G F#m Em They say tomorrow's such a long, long time
F#m C#m A They say tomorrow never comes
D Bm G F#m Em Whatever happened to this dream of mine
D Bm Em A Count the days as they run
He built himself a castle On a hill above a bay Where Marion the Châtelaine Charmed every single one who came to stay Some never knew, while others read the clues That she surely did know how to have the blues
Chorus
When all the parties ended In the castle on the hill The paintings and the statues stood alone And all the corridors grew still She got caught between the shadows and the booze And she surely did know how to have the blues
Midas Shadow Tom: Dm Intro: Dm7 C Dm7 x2 Gm7 Am7 Dm7 x2
Dm7 C Bb
You've got your ticket and your hotel keys
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
And your overnight bag at your feet
Dm7 C Bb
YOu're looking down on the tropical trees
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
While the Spanish maids pick up the sheets
F C F C
Conquistador in search of gold
Dm7 Bb Gm7
For all the jack-daw reasons
Dm7 C Bb
The Midas shadow that's so hard to please
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
Follows wherever you go.
Gm7 Am Dm7 x2
Dm7 C Bb
Nothing ventured, nothing gained they said
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
So you played for the winner takes all
Dm7 C Bb
And tossed the dice high up and craned your head
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
To see how the numbers would fall
F C F C
You stole the game so easily
Dm7 Bb Gm7
Your luck ran with the seasons
Dm7 C Bb
But still the shadow that the night won't free just
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
Follows wherever you go.
Gm7 Am Dm7 x2
Solo: Dm7 C Bb Gm7 Am7 Dm7 F C F C Dm7 Bb Gm7 Gm7 Am7 Dm7
Dm7 C Bb
Another day, another boarding card,
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
As you wait for your seat on the 'plane
Dm7 C Bb
The movie runs but you're still working hard
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
And you don't touch your food or champagne
F C F C
I know that when your well runs dry
Dm7 Bb Gm7
Yuu'll want to know the reason
Dm7 C Bb
The empty night will bring you no reply
Gm7 Am7 Dm7
As it follows wherever you go.
Gm7 Am7 Dm7 Gm7 Am7 Bb Am7 Gm7 Am7 Dm7

I'm Falling Tom: Dm Intro: Dm Dm#7 Dm7 D6
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G It's Sunday afternoon and it's raining, I'm falling
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G Colour sections, pastel blue, an empty church, a movie queue,
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G I'm falling
C C/B Am G F E Am Watching you moving around, taking the ti-me to get a proper look,
Dm E Am A It seems as though I've never really looked at you
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G Get up, put the kettle on, make us some tea, I'm falling
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G If we've got some biscuits left, please bring one for me,
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G I'm just falling
C C/B Am G F E Am Spending the whole day in bed, wasting our ti-me, in such a gentle way
Dm E Am A We hardly need to say a word, it's just okay
Dm E Am Ebdim E And already the sun has gone and it's growing dark outside,
Dm E Am Ebdim E I can see your face reflected in the red electric firelight,
Am Dm E And our shadow is an embyro that slowly comes to life and
Am Dm E As it moves across the wall it seems to feel the fire of living
Am Dm E Am Growing stronger as it climbs, to shiver in a blaze across the ceiling
F E Am And the soundless crash of the sea
F E Am Fills the room with the scent of the breeze
F E Am Ebdim E And the waves break over the beach of our bodies as you reach your
D Dm Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G fingers out to me
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G Why don't we take the whole next week off work, we're falling
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G You can say you don't feel well, you caught a cold or some such,
Dm Dm#7/C# Dm7/C G
we're just falling
C C/B Am G F E Am We can get out of town, taking the ti-me to let it all work out
Dm E Am A The hour glass is turning, every second counts

Sand in Your Shoes Tom: G
G Em C D
You always were a city kid though you were country raised
G Em C D
And back in some forgotten time we shared the cold north days.
G Em C D
But the simple life was not your style and you just had to escape
G C Bm Am D G Gsus4 G Gsus2
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands.
G Em
On Remembrance Day the bands all played;
C D
The bells pealed throught the park.
G Em C D
And you lay there by the "Do Not" signs and shamed them with your spark.
G Em C D
Now winter moans in old men's bones as the day falls into dark
G C Bm Am D G Gsus4 G Gsus2
And it's goodbye to my lady of the islands.
Bm Em Am D
It was just like this behind the kisses you so soon swept away
Bm Em Am D
Oh, I always knew that someday you'd be bound to just get pulled away.
G Em C D
The summer sun beats on and on; the shops swim in the heat.
G Em C D
And you're standing by the traffic signs with taxis at your feet.
G Em C D
Well, I know that in your city skin you're feeling more complete,
G C Bm Am D Gsus4 G Gsus2
So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands.

Year of the Cat
Tom: C
Intro: Cmaj7 D Em 3x
Am7 D7
Cmaj7 Bm Em
On a morning from a Bogart movie
Cmaj7 Bm Em
in a country where they turned back time
Cmaj7 Bm Em
you go strolling through the crowd like
Am7 D7
Peter Lorre contemplating a crime.
Cmaj7 Bm Em
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress
B C
running like a water color in the rain.
B Em
Don't bother asking for explanations.
Am7 D
She'll just tell you that she came
in the Year of the Cat.
INSTRUMENTAL (INTRO)
Cmaj7 Bm Em
She doesn't give you time for questions
Cmaj7 Bm Em
as she locks up you arm in hers.
Cmaj7 Bm Em
And you follow 'til your sense of
Am7 D7
which direction completely disappears.
Cmaj7 Bm Em
By the blue-tiled walls near the market stalls
B C
there's a hidden door she leads you to.
B Em
"These days," she says, "I feel my life just
Am7 D
like a river running through
the Year of the Cat."
INSTRUMENTAL (INTRO)
B C
Well she looks at you so cooly
G D
and her eyes shine like the moon
in the sea.
B C
She comes in incense and pathchouli
G F
so you take her to find what's
C/E D
waiting inside
the Year of the Cat.
INSTRUMENTAL
Cmaj7 Bm Em
Well morning comes and you're still with her
Cmaj7 Bm Em
and the bus and the tourists are gone.
Cmaj7 Bm Em
And you've thrown away your choice and
Am7 D7
lost your ticket so you have to stay on.
Cmaj7 Bm Em
But the drumbeat strains of the night
B C
remain in the rhythm of the newborn day.
B Em
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
Am7 D
but for now you're gonna stay
in the Year of the Cat.
INSTRUMENTAL and fade
Flying Sorcery Tom: D Intro: /D /G /D /G (2x)
/D
1. With your photographs of Kitty Hawk
/A
And the bi-planes on your wall
/Am
You were always Amy Johnson
/G
From the time that you were small
/D
No schoolroom kept you grounded
/A
While your thoughts could get away
/Am
You were taking off in Tiger Moths
/G /Em /A
Your wings against the brush-strokes of the day
/D
Ref.: Are you there ?
/G /A /D
On the tarmac with the winter in your hair
/G /A /Hm
By the empty hangar doors you stop and stare
/Hmo /Em
Leave the oil-drums behind you, they won't care
/A /D /D /C /G /D /C /G /D /C /G /D /C /G
Oh, are you there ?
2. You wrapped me up in a leather coat
And you took me for a ride
We were drifting with the tail-wind
When the runway came in sight
The clouds came up to gather us
And the cockpit turned to white
When I looked the sky was empty
I suppose you never saw the landing-lights
Ref.: Are you there ?
In your jacket with the grease-stain and the tear
Caught up in the slipstream of the dare
The compass roads will guide you anywhere
Oh, are you there ?
3. The sun comes up on Icarus
As the night-birds sail away
And lights the maps and diagrams
That Leonardo makes
You can see Faith, Hope and Charity
As they bank above the fields
You can join the flying circus
You can touch the morning air against your wheels
Ref.: Are you there ?
Do you have a thought for me that you can share
I never thought you'd take me unawares
Just call me if you ever need repairs
Oh, are you there ?
