Chimaera Tom: Dm Intro: A Dm (Dm-A#) F (F-C) Dm Dm A# F C
Dm A#
You took a time bomb and a case of crackers
C (C-A) Dm (Dm-A#) F (F-C)
And you made a maelstrom of organic debris,
Dm A#
then you took a work bench, and a rusty anvil,
C (C-A) Dm (Dm-A#) F (F-C)
and you polished them for everyone to see,
Dm A#
you have created an unhealthy monster,
C (F-G) A A
but you're nowhere but nowhere to be found,
Dm A#
so I guess I'll just cope with my provisions,
C (C-A) Dm (Dm-A#)
From now until the day they lay me down
F (F-C) Dm Dm A# F C C
Dm A#
You took a baboon and made him perfect
C (C-A) Dm (Dm-A#) F (F-C)
You took a lion and stripped him of his pride
Dm A#
Then you took a million more varieties a scalpel and a sartory
C (C-A) Dm (Dm-A#) F (F-C)
And you stitched up a horrible surprise
Dm A#
You have created an unsocial monster
C (F-G) A A
And you're searched for all over the globe
Dm A#
And most believe that things would sure be better
C C Dm Dm
If you'd come down here and tell us what you know
C Dm
Who is to blame for this? Someone tell me please
C Dm
His handiwork is flawed and it's there for all to see
C Dm
Mutations, aberrations and blatant anomalies
A# A# C (C-A) They multiply and give rise to this...monstrosity,
Solo Dm Dm A# A# C C Dm Dm Dm Dm A# A# C C A A
Dm A#
You took the most abundant smallest bits of matter
C Dm
And you instilled them with affinity
Dm A#
And then you stratified accumulations Weeded out bad variations
C Dm
And blended up your unique recipe
Dm A#
You have created a powerful monster
C (F-G) A A
With direction and purpose all its own
Dm A#
And if you were here would things be any different?
C (C-A) Dm (Dm-A#)
Or are you just a mosaic of thoughts alone?
F (F-C) Dm Dm A# F C C

[Verse 1]
Am Bm C As the sun comes creeping up the mountain
G Dm Em and the wind blows over from the sea.
Am Bm C Hey, we're brought into this land like tiny particles of sand,
G Dm Em unsure of who we're smarter than, or what we're meant to be.
Am Bm C Oh the grains sift coarsely through the hour glass
G Dm Em and collect like their victims in the bowl.
Am Bm C The ungodly force of change erodes all sense of earthly gains.
G Dm Em While tending to the mundane will terrorize your soul.
[Chorus]
Am G Em Am And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong.
G Dm F G The past is old and gone. It's best to move along
G Am Bm and find your Avalon.
[Interlude]
Am Bm C G Dm Em
[Verse 2] Well, I wish that I could tell you it was easy, just take the paved road right to paradise. But the truth is my friend, the pain and suffering never ends. Make amends with medicine, amnesia, and lies. The grains sift coarsely through the hour glass and they pound like boulders on the brain. All those things you did for fun, never hurting anyone, careless shadows in the sun, just empty and lame.
[Chorus] And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong. The past is old and gone. It's best to move along and find your Avalon.
[Interlude]
Play intro-riff
[Solo]
Play verse under solo
[Verse 3] So now the day races from the twilight. How the fields are enveloped by the shade. And the story that you'll tell, inventory of your well, crack the shell and find the mortar silted and decayed.
[Chorus] And it's no! It's no use thinking that you're wrong. The past is dead and gone. It's best to move along and find your Avalon. It's best to hurry on and find your Avalon.
Only Rain Tom: F#m Intro: F#m E D D D E F#m F#m (2x)
[Verse 1]
F#m E D E F#m Hey, scientist please save us from our rainy days
F#m E D E F#m Because your counterpart in the magic art is manufacturing judgment day
D E F#m There's a fell wind blowing out of the east
D E F#m Bringing famine drought and plague
D A E Well now at least that's what they say
[Chorus]
F#m E D Rain fell like judgment
E F#m Across my windowpane
F#m E Said it fell like judgment
D E F#m But it was only rain
[Verse 2] Well I know what's wrong and I know what's right And I know that evil exists sure as the day turns into night When a man gets down on his knees to pray you know he'll find what he is able But chances are he'll find it either way
[Chorus] Rain fell like judgment Across my windowpane Said it fell like judgment But it was only rain
Rain fell like judgment Across my windowpane Said it fell like judgment But it was only rain
[Bridge]
E F#m Oh lord, have mercy on a humble man
E D C# Lost in the wilderness without a guiding hand
[Solo]
F#m E D D D E F#m F#m (2x)
[Chorus] Rain fell like judgment Across my windowpane Said it fell like judgment But it was only rain
It fell like judgment Across my windowpane Said it fell like judgment But it was only rain.

F5 C5 F5 (pick slide)
And they call them the wrong way kids
Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
The kids today are gone away petitioning the dust With nobody to look up to because they're looking up to us Just misfit melancholy dregs gone lost in the mall Wanderers to nowhere at all

---VERSE 1:
D5 F5 From the time she could crawl
C5 G5 (Fill1) She was all draped in macrame.
D5 F5 She was preened and redeemed
C5 G5 (Fill1) In a church that tried to show the way.
(Guitar 2 plays open chords)
Fill2: (Guitar 2) G5 e|-----------------| B|-----------------| G|-----------------| D|-5-----------5---| A|-5-------5-7-----| E|-3---------------|
(Fill1 and Fill2 are in the same bar)
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill1) (Fill2) She was taught to never ask for more,
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill1) (Fill2) They had no idea of what she had in store.
---CHORUS: (Guitar 1 and 2 plays open chords)
D5 F5 C5 G5 She's the queen of the 21st century,
D5 F5 C5 G5 Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be:
D5 F5 C5 G5 Analog heart, analog nerves, analog brain,
D5 F5 C5 G5 But a fixture of the digital domain.

D5 F5 From the time she could read
C5 G5 She could see that there was urgency,
D5 F5 C5 No debate, just a spate of ignorance
G5 In a splintering community.
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill2) She could never meet their expectations,
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill2) Then she came to symbolize the nation.
---CHORUS:
D5 F5 C5 G5 She's the queen of the 21st century,
D5 F5 C5 G5 Just a shred of what her parents thought a little girl should be:
D5 F5 C5 G5 Steeped in spite, coddled in fear, drenched in novelty,
D5 F5 C5 G5 But masterful at sensual technology.

---BRIDGE:
D5 G5 D5 C5 She's the queen!
D5 G5 D5 C5 She's the queen, no rules in her empire.
D5 G5 D5 C5 She's the queen, just libido and desire.
D5 G5 She's the lean, mean, fighting machine,
D5 C5 The stuff of modern media lore
D5 C5 F5 And she always knows the score.

Scrutiny Tom: Am
Am, F, G One – two – three – four – five – six – seven – eight Days go marching by There and back I never wait for a confident reply
Am, F, C, G, (Am) Truth is stark and leaves its mark as limited constraints And the most difficult part is accepting what the future may bring
F, C, G, Am It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny Wither the path, whether worth the fee A lifetime of scrutiny
E, F, G, F, C, G, Am And it seems as though I can't be sure of anything any more
Am, F, G One – two – three – four – five – six – seven – eight Years go flying by No one seems to hesitate or cast an earnest eye
Am, F, C, G, (Am) Judgment comes in many forms but never scare or shy And the litany is long as the confidence is strong in their delight
F, C, G, Am It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny Prejudicial waters wash over me A lifetime of scrutiny
E, F, G, F, C, G, Am And the words just don't equate with sense or sanity anymore
Am, F, G One – two – three – four – five – six – seven – eight The faces and the names Shattered hopes and stolen dreams and no one left to blame
Am, F, C, G, (Am) Is it possible to win this pointless mortal game? `Cuz when death comes it's swift and my friend We end up and the same
F, C, G, Am It feels like a lifetime of scrutiny Wither the path and whether worth the fee A lifetime of scrutiny
E, F, G, F, C, G, Am And it seems as though I can't remember of anything anymore

Dm A# Dm
Drop dead, it doesn’t matter she said
A# Dm
It only hurts when I laugh she said
Gm
Sometimes it’s never a crime
F A Dm
To spend the day in bed
A# Dm
She made certain that the curtains were red
A# Dm
To dream better by the light they would shed
Gm
She leaned back, tilted her head

I know there’s nowhere to go

He looked out; it filled him with dread

They said, Hey, man, where do you reside?

And could it be mother’s superior lied?

The Answer Tom: Em Intro: Em C A C D Em C B C B C B C
Em D C B
Long ago, in a dusty village full of hunger, pain and strife,
Em D C
A man came forth with a vision of truth and a way to a better
A D
life.
Em G C
He was convinced he had the answer and he compelled people to
D
follow along.
B C A
But the hunger never vanished, and the man was banished, and
C D E BCBCBCBC
the village dried up and died.
Em D C
At a time when wise men peered through glass tubes toward the
B
skies,
Em D C
The Heavens changed in predictable ways and one man was able
A D
to find,
Em G C
That he had thought he'd found the answer and he was quick to
D
write his revelations.
B C A C
But as they were scrutinised in his colleagues eyes, he soon
D Em BCBCBCBC
became a mockery.
CHORUS:
Em G C
Don't tell me about the answer 'cause then another one will
D
come along soon.
Em G C B
I don't believe you have the answer, I've got ideas too.
C A
But if you've got enough naiveté, and you've got conviction,
C D Em
Then 'The Answer' is perfect for you.

Don`t pray on me Tom: G Intro : G5-F#5-E5-D5-C5-D5-G5
G5 F#5 E5 D5
A grizzly scene on my electron beam
C5 G5 D5
Told a story about human rights
G5 F#5 E5 D5
So all of King's horses and all of King's men
C5 G5 D5
Had a riot for two days and nights
G5 F#5 E5 D5
Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open
C5 G5 D5
So the company asked him to quit
G5 F#5 E5 D5
Now everybody's equal
C5 D5 G5
just don't measure it
Well, Hanson did it to Hester And Mark David did it to John And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn But he did it to South Vietnam For beauty and glory For money, love, and country Now everybody's doing it Don't do that to me
A bitter debate and a feminine fate Lie in tandem like two precious babes While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters Except on the nation's airwaves And custodians of public opinion stayed back After vainly discussing her rights Lay hands off her body It's not your fucking life
Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ From turning every hungry stone into bread And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted When the innocent first born sons lay dead Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea Now everybody's praying Don't pray on me
Said everybody's praying Don't pray on me

Punk Rock Song Tom: C# Intro: C# E B G# (2x)
C# E B F#
Have you been to the desert, have you walked with the dead?
C# E B G#
There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
A E
And the figures don't lie they speak of human disease
B E B
But we do what we want and we think what we please
C# E B F#
Have you lived the experience, Have you witnessed the plague?
C# E B G#
People making babies sometimes just to escape
A E
In this land of competition the compassion is gone
B E B
Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
E B
Keep pushing on
C# A E B
This is just a punk rock song

Written for the people who can see something's wrong

Like ants in a colony we do our share

But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
C# A E B
This is just a punk rock song
C# E B G#
C# E B G#
(continue w/ lyrics) Have you visited the quagmire, have you swam in the shit? The party conventions and the real politik The faces always different, the rhetoric the same But we swallow it all and we see nothing changed Nothing has changed This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like workers in a factory, we do our share But there's so many other fucking robots out there This is just a punk rock song
C# E B F# 10 million dollars on a losing campaign C# E B F# 20 million starving and writhing in pain C# E B F# Big strong people unwilling to give C# E B B Small in vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line One population runnin' out of time Runnin' outta time This is just a punk rock song Written for the people who can see something's wrong Like ants in a colony, we do our share But there's so many other fucking insects out there This is just a punk rock song
No Control Tom: B
(B D A E)
culture was the seed of proliferation but it has gotten melded
into an inharmonic whole,
to an inharmonic whole,
consciousness has plagued us and we can not shake it,
though we think we're in control
though we think we're in control
G A G questions that besiege us in life
A G A are testament of our helplessness,
B A there's no vestige of a beginning,
G A no prospect of an end
B A G A when we all disintegrate it will all happen again,
B D A E ...repeat...
time is so rock solid in the minds of the hoards but they can't
explain why it should slip away,
explain why it should slip away,
history and future are the comforts of our curiosity but here we are
rooted in the present day
rooted in the present day
G A G questions that besiege us in life
A G A are testament of our helplessness,
B A there's no vestige of a beginning,
G A no prospect of an end
B A G A when we all disintegrate it will all happen again,
B A G A if you came to conquer you'll be king for a day,
B A G A but you too will deteriorate and quickly fade away,
B A and believe these words you hear
D E when you think your path is clear....
B G A we have no control,
B G A we have no control,
B G we have no control,
D A we do not understand,
B G you have no control,
D A you are not in command
B G A you have no control,

Flat top pave-ment com-fort me

B A G F#
In-sti-tu-tion on the hill

Like the comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known

I refuse to abuse what is kind to the muse,

As we go through the snow, we cannot forget our foes,
G# D# A# C
But the dinner's always waiting at the table along the way
C A# F C
What you see, not for me, isn't what you planned to be,
G# D# A# C
But you'll have what you wanted in the end along the way.
C A# F C
And we'll try as we cry and our brothers pass us by,
G# D# A# C
To be strong through the ages of our tears along the way
C A# F C
Now we grow as we show that the morals we must know
G# D# A# C
Will be shapen and mistaken by the falls along the way.
C A# F C
But forget, don't regret, to find love and happiness
G# D# A# C
Unless you're willing to be strong when they are gone along the way
C A# F C
Like Tommy, you are free, and you will not follow me,
G# D# A# C
Until we see each other once more on the path along the way

I left there feeling blame

No one could tell me what to do

What the world needs now is some answers to our problems

If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity
F F G A
But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more

Watched the relentists throw their hands

Conceding progress will resolve it all

Saw the the manufacturers of earth's chloric
G C G D E2
Ignore another green peace call
F2 G2 A
No one could tell me what to do

They have not the ability to answer me
A G A E A G F G
What the world needs now is some accountability

Told a story about human rights

So all of Kings horses and all of Kings men
C5 D5 D5
Had a riot for two days and nights

Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open

Just don't measure it

Lay hands off her body

When the innocent first born sons lay dead

When He flamboyantly parted the sea
