You don’t want

this rickety rackety life

It’s seat of the trousers

It’s all sink or swim, son

I’d kill to get crimson

for the brushes and paint

They’ll all be enrolling
       G            D
young fellows like you
    D      C                  Em

flaming visions
            C
ringing expressions
      G         D
the clamouring voice
         D       C
It’s volcanic desire
       G          D
the unquenchable fire
             C     
It isn’t a question
    G           D
of having the choice
    Em 
Anyway, now I’m old
   C
but if you won’t be told
    Em
if you’ve been created
   Bm          C    Bm
to answer the call
     D           C
all passion and lust
            G           D
is going to end in the dust

Am
      Am            
This didn’t used to be me, old boy
This isn’t what I’d want
pulling old night fighters
in a restaurant
          Am
There’s smoke and flames behind me
where the self-respect all went
         C       Am     F
and I’m behind, behind
          Am
with the rent
            Am
I’ve been stitched up like a kipper, old son
but I won’t be again
Hell hath no fury
Oh, I’m like a lot of men
          Am
Now I’m stalking this old Doris
with lascivious intent
         C       Am    F
and I’m behind, behind
          Am
with the rent
 Am            G        F    C
Just a little duck and dive
               G         F
and a bit of wheel and deal
  F       G       C    F
She’ll remind me I’m alive
  Dm      Am     F        G
She’ll remind me I still feel
 Am             G      F    C
Just a little shelling out
              G         F
for a bit of you-know-what
F        G     C     F
I know this is all about
 Dm         Am    F     G
something that I never got
Am
C / Am / F / Am
            Am 
Well this crumpet’s past it’s sell-by-date
but they all would qualify
They’re going to be lonely
and be happy to comply
She knows that I’m a chancer
coming on like a gent
           C       Am   F
but I’m behind, behind
          Am
with the rent
            C       Am   F
Yes, I’m behind, behind
          Am

When I gave my heart

to a tinker boy
           G D                A
he said a fish could love a swallow

And I will go with my travelling man

Wherever he goes I will follow

He will mend
               A
your pots and pans 
               G D                   A
Your kitchen knives he’ll take and sharpen
              A                       Em

will find no place to build a home in

The fish and the bird who fall in love

I’m a maker of ballads right pretty

I write them right here in the street
         C       G             F
You can buy them all over the city

yours for a penny a sheet
       Am         G            Am
I’m a word pecker out of the printers
 Am         G          Am
Out of the Damsel Gin lane
       C          G         F
I’ll write up a scene on a counter

they sit on their coffins of black

You’ve been away roaming far away from here

weathered a storm, your heart unafraid

crossed every ocean in the boat that you made

Been blowing your horn, scaring the spooks

No crotchets or quavers in your books

the moon on the water and the sound of guitars

Glide into the homing as the night falls

to tie up in the haven by the old harbour wall

in the dock with the trawlermen
i know all the people there's nobody new
soon we'll be leaving with the same old crew
on the green water the tumbling sea
they ain't running like the good old days
time's just slipping down the old slipways
in the dock so dear to me
Chorus:

dark is the night
   Bb         Gm               Bb
I need a guiding light to keep me
          Gm           F
from foundering on the rocks
Cm         F
my only prayer
   Bb       Gm                       Bb
is just to see you there at the end
          F              Bb       Bb7
of my wandering back in the dock
(chord progression: D#  Cm  F   Dm  G#

Verse 2
I could use a layoff getting my strength back
but there's a loan to pay off and a few skipjack
so it's a turnaround back in the southerly wind
pirates coming in to steal our gold
you can count yourself lucky with a profit in the hold
in the dock when we come in

Speedway At Nazareth
Tom: A
A          G                             A
After two thousand came two thousand and one        
                                 G            Em
To be the new champions we were there for to run
       A                                          G
From springtime in Arizona ‘til the fall in monterey
         A                 G                                    A     Asus2
And the raceways were the battlefields and we fought’em all the way
        D                       A
Was at Phoenix in the morning I had a wake-up call
                                  G             Em
She went around without a warning put me in the wall
         A                                             G  
I drove long beach California with three cracked vertebrae
            A           G                       A
And we went on to Indianapolis, Indiana in the may
 
A D C F G A
 
                                G                          A   Asus2
Well the brickyard’s there to crucify anyone who will not learn
             A                          G                Em
I climbed a mountain to qualify I went flat through the turns
           A                                                   G
But I was down in the might-have beens and an old pal good as died
           A       G                    A   Asus2
And I sat down in gasoline alley and I cried 
A G A A G Em A      
                        G                          A   Asus2
Well we were in at the kill again on the Milwaukee Mile
        A                            G             Em
And in June up in Michigan we were robbed at Bell Isle
            A                                   G   
Then it was on to Portland, Oregon for the G I Joe
        A                 G                          A   Asus2
And I‘d blown off almost everyone when my motor let go
    D                   A
New England, Ontario we died in the dirt 
                                G          Em
Those walls from mid Ohio to Toronto they hurt
       A                                              G
So we came to road america where we burned up at the lake
              A         G                    A
But at the speedway at Nazareth I made no mistake

Waltzing with fear in our hearts
E (same as intro)
On the big final manoeuvre, all of our heads are a whirl
Getting much closer to the deep thing
This time we'll do it with girls
In the arena the ladies are waiting
A twelve year old girl for a bride
The matches were fixed, somehow we mixed
And the fat girl got left on the side
The fat girl got left on the side.
         C             G
And it's you, you, you're a disgrace

Well you come to my right, and I am under the light
                  G/B          C
See that my footwork is false
                                 G              C
Don't count me out, the start of the bow

Mississippi in your soul
You can still be Marlon Brando

Sixteen hundred miles of highway
Roll back to the truth
And a song to give your mother

In your first recording booth

Around the time of 'clambake'
That old dream's still rolling on
Sometimes there'll be the feeling
Things are going wrong
The morning star is fading

You can still be Marlon Brando

Twenty-two years we've sung the word
since nineteen thirty-one
Amen, I say amen
Now the young folk want to praise the Lord
With guitar, bass and drums, amen
Well I'll never get tired of Jesus
But it's been a heavy load
Carrying His precious love
Down a long dirt road
We're a long way from home
Just let's pay the man and go

Red sun, go down way over dirty town
Bm7             D             A       E9
Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals
Bm7         D                   A                          G9

Bm7                 D                          A              E9
The wind it blows around in her hair, and the flags upon the poles

Church bell, clinging on, trying to get a crowd, Evensong

Bm7                D              A                 E9
The starlings are tough, but the lions are made of stone

        Walking with your wild best friend
 
 
And my conductress on the number nineteen, she was a honey
pink toenails and hands all dirty with the money
greasy greasy greasy hair, easy smile
made me feel nineteen, for awhile
and I went down to Chinatown
in the backroom it's a man's world, all the money go down
Duck inside the doorway, gotta duck to eat
right now feels all right now, you and me we can't beat walking -
 
Chorus
 
And a gogo, dancing girl, yes I saw her
the deejay, he say, here's Mandy for ya
I fell all right to see her, but she's paid to do that stuff
She's dancing high, I move on by, the close ups can get rough
when you're walking in the wild west end . . .

A Scottish piper stands alone
