Three Is A Magic Number 
Tom: D
Intro: D G A
Versos e Refrão: D G
Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.
The past and the present and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three as a magic number.
It takes three legs to make a tri-pod
Or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle
Called a tricycle.
Every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less.
You don't have to guess.
When it's three you can see
It's a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
And that's a magic number.
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
Multiply backwards from three times ten:
Three time ten is (30), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one is three of course.
Now take the pattern once more:
Three! . . .3-6-9
Twelve! . . .12-15-18
Twenty-one!. . .21-24-27. . .30
Now multiply from 10 backwards:
Three time ten is (30 - Keep going), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one...
What is it?!
Three!
Yeah, That's a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family.
That's a magic number. 

 

Cheatem Street
Tom: A
 
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
It was late one night in Southern Texas
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
My dad was playing in a rock-n-roll band
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
He took me along to a place called Cheatem Street
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
My bags were packed, I was ready to meet you for the first time
 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
Oh but a phone call would have been nice
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
 C#m (Do#m)
And the world couldn't change my spirit
 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
This will remain the same
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
You were young and living like you wanted to
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I understand because I packed up and left just like you did
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
At 17 you think you got the whole world in your hands
 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
Oh in so many ways you did
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I don't want to have you worry no more
 C#m (Do#m)                                   D (Re)
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
 C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
So we can move on
 G (Sol)                             D (Re)
I want you to know I really needed you then
And I can use you now
 G (Sol)                                    D (Re)
I talked to you by listening to all of those stupid songs
 G (Sol)                                    D (Re) G (Sol) G#m (Sol#m) 
I would sit along side of the fence
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
Now you're doing fine and you're gigging here and there
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
It's been nice to know you for the past few years
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
When you're living the same dream it's easy to read each other for sure
 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
Ohhh it could have turned out so different
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I guess you're stuck with what was given to you
 C#m (Do#m)
And the world couldn't change my spirit
 D (Re)      C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
This will remain forever
 A (LA)                       Bm (Sim)
I don't want to have you worry no more
 C#m (Do#m)                                   D (Re)
Let's forgive and forget and finish what we started
 C#m (Do#m)       Bm (sim)
So we can move on

        Can't read can't clear my mind,   so here I go, I gotta get into this lifetime
 
then just start the riff over, play it a couple of times, then start the second verse.

        Sense of taste,   sense of smell,  sense of sittin' here feelin' like hell
 
        Feel like hell
 
play riff once to slow it down on third verse.
 
Verse 3:
 
        E            A                   F#                   B       A       G

        As I disintegrate overtime,   If I expect my body to try and keep up with my mind
 
        Today everything's mine   (repeat 2x)
 
riff until you want this song to end.

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view you think that I'm insane
It's not sane       It's not sane

Second verse same as the first!!  (I couldn't resist)

water soak the sin in my soul (Repeat with 2nd verse)
 
 
(Second Verse)
Fine time we all crossed lines
make the music that makes us feel fine
Rednecks on sun decks hearing a hillside Romeo say
"Boy’s this is the good shit, so come on all and eat a little bit."
And if I ever go back home, I'm gonna set. (chorus)
 
 
                 F5          G5             F5
Don’t even say a word, it con   fuses me.

Whatever he says to do, is that we don’t have to.

D                 D/F#           G    D
No time frame for what I need to do today
            D/F#  G                  D
here at the yellowhouse I think that I'm gonna play with
     D/F#        G             F
some free living lads down the street... away... away
                                                
(NOTE: I THINK this next part can be played in the open D xx0232 position with
just a few modifications but I'm not good enough to move around in such
a small space trying to create all the sounds. If you can do it, tab
it out and send it up. It'd be nice to see a different way of doing this
part of the song.. since I swear I can hear the D and F# notes of the
open D chord being played all the while the chord progression is changing.
This could just be the fact that a bunch of guitars are together though.)

Running naked on a cold winter night

my eyes are dry and my hands are clean
and I can’t believe all the things I’ve seen

Seed To a tree
Tom: F5
F5 G5 F5 G5 F5 G5 Bflat5 G5  
As I shit, I sit and wonder why
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired
But life is good, even though it won't be long
With a candle comes emotions that
Dance with the shadows on my wall
What were you thoughts, as they
Were flying through your mind
Compared to what you feel from
The bars your now behind
If they could speak, what do you think
They would say to you?
I do believe you’d been better
Off if you’d just told the truth
Chorus:

And I wish there was a way for me to go inside so I could see
G5         Bfsus2                       Csus2               F5    G5
   All the faces of the people who have torn a piece from me

As I grew     from a seed             to a tree
(Use opening chord pattern)
Can you feel the power of the eye 
That’s hidden away 5 feet from where we lie
What do you taste, when you take a drink of me
Is it to much for me to ask if I asked you to leave
No chords...
Please just leave 'cause I want to be alone
D7             Csus2    Bflat                  Gsus4 
There’s a fine line       between love and my feelings for you
D7        Csus2     Bflat              F5 G5    
   High time      I washed it all away
D7     Cus2    Bflat               Gsus4   
   Un--kind, I watched your future born before you
D7     Csus2   Bflat       
   De--nied, a chance of any love in your life
(Again, use opening chord pattern...)
And I ask you one time..Why?
-Chorus-
but end like this:
       Bfsus2     Csus2               F5

      F                  G5
water soak the sin in my soul (Repeat with 2nd verse)
(Second Verse)
Fine time we all crossed lines
make the music that makes us feel fine
Rednecks on sun decks hearing a hillside Romeo say
"Boy’s this is the good shit, so come on all and eat a little bit."
And if I ever go back home, I'm gonna set. (chorus)
                 F5          G5             F5
Don’t even say a word, it con   fuses me.
         G5                     F5                    
Whatever he says to do, is that we don’t have to.
G5   F5  G5         G5         
             I said we don’t have to.
No Rain

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
  A                         G      E      E7
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
    E                    D
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
    A                         G         E     E7
and speak my point of view but it’s not sane, It’s not sane
E              D              E           D 
   I just want    some one to say to me   oh,
E              D                 E     D      
   I’ll always be there when you wake     yeah...
E                       D              E        D
    Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
E                D                   E        D    
    So stay with me and I’ll have it made
      E                      D   
And I don’t understand why I sleep all day
      A                       G         E     E7 
And I start to complain that there’s no rain
    E                      D 
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
   A                           G           E 
It rips my life away, but it’s a great escape
escape, escape, escape
Play this during guitar solo... E  D  E  D
E                        D
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
         A
ya don’t like my point of view
         G        E  
ya think that I’m insane
Its not sane, it’s not sane
E              D             E           D           
   I just want    someone to say to me  oh,
E              D                  E      D
   I’ll always be there when you wake       yeah,
E                      D              E          D
   Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
E               D                   E      D
   so stay with me and I’ll have it made
End with E D E D....

 E           G            D
   Is this the place that I want to be
E      G               D
          Is it you I want to see
E      G            D
                   Holding on,
E      G          D
 Hold it high, show me everything
E    G     D
             And you're leaving me
E    G     D
             Yeah you're leaving me
E    G     D
             You're leaving me with
E    G     D
  Hated   identity
 
Chorus:
C                   G           Am
But I keep on a comin' here and standing
        E
In this state
C                                   G
And I'm never really sure if you'll take
                    Am         E
What I'm saying the right way
            C                         G
But I'm not appalled or afraid verbal pocket play
      Am                            E
Is as discreet a I can muster up to be
            C                       G
Because the Cadillac that's sittin' in the back
         Am
It isn't me
          E    G        C
Oh no, no, no it isn't me
                               E   G   D
I'm more at home in my galaxy
 
E        G         D
         Can I do the things I wanna do
E        G         D
         That I don't do because of you
E        G         D           E 
And I'll take a left then I'll second
   G         D
Guess into a total mess
E        G       D
And you're leaving me
E        G       D
yeah you're leaving me
E        G       D         E     G      D
You're leaving me with hated identity
 
**Chorus
 
E      G     C
No, no, no, no it isn't me
E      G     C
No, no, no, no it isn't me
E      G     C
No it isn't me
E      G     C
I'm more at home in my galaxy
