Pussy Willow
Tom: Am
Intro: Am, F, G
Verse 1:
Am      F          G          D        Am
In the half-tone light of a young morning
      C            D             E         
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
         F         G         D                 F
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
    G               Am
to kiss the Pussy Willow.
Verse 2:
Am     F             G           D          Am
In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
       C         D        E
in a sad voice nobody hears.
          F        G         D    F
She waits in her castle of make-believing
          G              Am
for her white knight to appear.
Chorus 1:
Am                    C          G
Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
Am                            F          G
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Am                                          G
Runs for the train --- see, eight o'clock's coming
F                       G       D
cutting dreams down to size again.
   Rest of song half step up
Chorus 2:
A#m                    C#         G#
Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
A#m                           F#         G#
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
A#m                                        G#
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
F#                      G#      D#
cutting dreams down to size again.
Verse 3:
F#             G#             D#            A#m
She longs for the East and a pale dress flowing
C#               D#     F
an apartment in old Mayfair.
F#              G#                 D#             F#
Or to fish the Spey, spinning the first run of Spring
G#                          A#m
or to die for a cause somewhere.
Chorus 3:
A#m                    C#          G#
Pussy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
A#m                          F#          G#
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
A#m                                        G#
Runs from the train. Hear her typewriter humming
F#                      G#     D#
cutting dreams down to size again.
Outro:
A#m               F#      G#
Pussy Willow--- ah, ah--- ah            repeat 3x, then fade out

   Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine  
 
Am        F                       G                Am  
  Orion, light your lights: come guard the open spaces  
F            G      Am             F             G  
  from the black horizon to the pillow where I lie.  
F               F                   G        E        Am  
  Your faithful dog shines brighter than its lord and master  
F      G              Am              F           G  
  Your jewelled sword twinkles as the world rolls by.  
 
Am            F       C    C/B         Am  
   So come up singing above the cloudy cover  
F        G         Am              F               G  
  Stare through at people who toss fitful in their sleep.  
F                F              G    E          Am  
  I know you're watching as the old gent by the station  
F            G       Am              F     G      Am      E  
  scuffs his toes on old fag packets lying in the street

F#m                     D              F#m-->E.....  
   Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine  
 
[Rest the same]  
 
And silver shadows flick across the closing bistro.  
Sweet waiters link their arms and patter down the street,  
their words lost blowing on cold winds in darkest Chelsea.  
Prime years fly fading with each young heart's beat  
 
Orion, won't you make me a star sign  
Orion, get up on the sky-line  
I'm high on your love and I feel fine  
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine  
 
And young girls shiver as they wait by lonely bus-stops  
after sad parties: no-one to take them home  
to greasy bed-sitters and make a late-night play  
for lost virginity a thou - sand  - miles --- a - way.  
[Last CHORUS: add two lines below]
Orion, won't you make me a star sign  
Orion, get up on the sky-line  
I'm high on your love and I feel fine  
Orion, let's sip the heaven's heady wine 
F#m             D   F#m
    Love is the sky-line

We Used To Know 
Tom: Em
 Em                B
Whenever I get to feel this way,
 D               A
Try to find new words to say,
  C                G              F#
I think about the bad old days
           B
We used to know.
Nights of winter turn me cold --
Fears of dying, getting old.
We ran the race and the race was won
By running slowly.
Could be soon well cease to sound,
Slowly upstairs, faster down.
Then to revisit stony grounds,
We used to know.
Remembering mornings, shillings spent,
Made no sense to leave the bed.
The bad old days they came and went
Giving way to fruitful years.
Saving up the birds in hand
While in the bush the others land.
Take what we can before the man
Says its time to go.
Each to his own way Ill go mine.
Best of luck in what you find.
But for your own sake remember times
We used to know.
Look Into The Sun 
Tom: A
Intro: A  Asus4  G
A   Asus4  A*  A       E         C   A
Took a     sad song of one sweet evening
  E          C       D       A
I smiled and quickly turned away
A   Asus4  A* A  E       C   A
It's not   easy  singing sad songs
    E         C       D             A
But still the easiest way I have to say
A           G             D  A
So when you look into the sun
A           G                 D   A            
And see the things we haven’t done 
A         G              D  A
Oh was it better then to run
A       G            A   A*
Than to spend the summer crying
    G         A   G*      A 
Now summer cannot come anyway
A Asus4  A*  A      E       C      A
I had    waited for time to change her
    E    C           D             A
The only change that came was over me
A   Asus4 A* A E      C    A
She pretended  not to want love 
  E            C    D       A
I hope she was only fooling me
A           G             D  A
So when you look into the sun
A            G                D   A
Look for the pleasures nearly won
A         G              D  A
Or was it better then to run
A       G            A   A*
Than to spend the summer singing
    G            A    G*        A
And summer could have come in a day
So if you hear my sad song singing
Remember who and what you nearly had.
Its not easy singing sad songs
When you can sing the song to make me glad.
So when you look into the sun
And see the words you could have sung:
Its not too late, only begun,
We can still make summer.
Yes, summer always comes anyway.
Love Story

                   Dm  
she could be picking roses.  
 
(rest the same)  
Going back in the morning time to see if my love  
has seen the light, yeah.  
 
Oh, I told her last night she should improve her sight, she could be painting  
the roof. Going back in the morning time to see if my love has come around, yeah. She offered me  
no sound, her head is in the ground, She could be calling for winter.

and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.

And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down
He sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh he picks up gideon's Bible
Open at page one
I thank god He stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...

from time-warp Victorian zoos where staring 
A    G         D  A Bm 
ice cream gameboys play. 
A          A               G       A 
Big paws, word claws and swishing tails. 
      A       A            G      D 
More damaged goods in the market sails. 
Bm            G           D 
Too proud for anger, too late for 
 A       G         D      A Bm 
hate: resigned in dignity. 
A            A 
Gone before winter. 
A        A 
Purring might-have-beens. 
A           A         Bb        A 
Somebody's kitten in sanctuary, waiting.

A            A 
Gone before winter. 
A                A 
Wondering as to might-have-beens. 
A         A           Bb         A 
Somebody near you in sanctuary, waiting.

 Em                      D       (Dsus4) 
Down at the church the flower girl sits. 
 Em              A 
Legs innocent, apart. 
   Em               D              B         (B7) 
I make the picture puzzle fit to start your heart. 
 Em              D     (Dsus4) 
Painted sister stopped beside. 
   Em                    A 
A word upon her saintly lip. 
 Em                       D              B     (B7) 
Perhaps admonishing the child inside the open slit.

I don't know know where she might go when she runs home at night. 
Em                 C                             D              B 
It's for the best: I wouldn't rest when I turned out the light. 
Am7         B7sus4 B7         Cmaj7           A 
No little flower girl singing in my troubled dream - 
 Em                D                      B 
just an old man's model in a pose from a magazine.
