Good Evening Mr Waldheim
Tom: E
E
God evening Mr. Waldheim
D#m
And Pontiff how are you?
C#m
You have so much in common
B                 F#
In the things you do
E
And here comes Jesse Jackson
D#m
He talks of common ground
C#m
Does that common ground include me
B               F#
Or is it just a sound?
               E
A sound that shakes
   B               F#                   E    B  F# E
Oh Jesse, you must watch the sounds you make
              E      
A sound that quakes
B                    F#           E
There are fears that still reverberate
E
Jesse you say common ground
D#m
Does that include the P.L.O?
C#m
What about people right here, right now
B                          F#                    
Who fought for you not so long ago?
E
The words that flow so freely
D#m
Falling dancing from your lips
C#m
I hope that you don't cheapen them
B             F#
With a racist slip
E
Oh common ground
   B               F#             E       B  F# E         
Is common ground a word or just a sound?
E
Oh, oh, common ground
B                            F#                    E       B F# 
Remember those civil rights workers buried in the ground
E
If I ran for president
D#m
And once was a member of the Klan
C#m
Wouldn't you call me on it
B                  F#
The way I call you on Farrakhan?
E
And Pontiff, pretty Pontiff
D#m
Can anyone shake your hand ?
C#m
Or is it just that you like uniforms
B                  F#          
And someone kissing your hand?
E
Or is it true
    B                 F#              E     B  F# E  
The common ground for me includes you too?
              E
Oh, oh, is it true
     B                F#              E     B  F# E
The common ground for me includes you too?
E
Good evening Mr. Waldheim
D#m
Pontiff how are you?
C#m
As you both stroll through the woods at night
B               F#
I'm thinking thoughts of you
E
And Jesse you're inside my thoughts
D#m
As the rhythmic words subside
C#m
My common ground invites you in
B                   F#
Or do you prefer to wait outside?
E
Or is it true
    B                 F#            E     B  F# E
The common ground for me is without you?
         E
Or is it true
B                     F#            E     B  F# E
The common ground for me is without you?
         E
Oh is it true
           B             F#                E    B  F#  E
There's no ground common enough for me and you?

Coney Island Baby 
Tom: C
Intro: C - G       2 times the pair
C                                                      F
    You know, man, when I was a young man in high school
F   C                                                           F
    
    you believe in or not I wanted to play football for the coach
F   C                          F
    And all those older guys
    F                                          
    
    they said he was mean and cruel, but you know
F   C 
    wanted to play football for the coach
  
They said I was to little too light weight to play line-backer
So I say I'm playing right-end
Wanted to play football for the coach
'Cause, you know some day, man
you gotta stand up straight unless you're gonna fall
then you're gone to die
And the straightest dude
Ever knew was standing right for me all the time
So I had to play football for the coach
and I wanted to play football for the coach
When you're all alone and lonely
in your midnight hour
C                       F
And you find that your soul
F                     F G
it's been up for sale
And you begin to think 'bout
all the things that you've done
C                  F
And you begin to hate
F                      FG
just 'bout everything

CHORUS:
Am                                            F       F-G
But remember the princess who lived on the hill
Am                                            F       F-G
Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
Am                                            F-G
And right now she just might come shining through
G
and the -
C             F   C           F
- Glory of love, glory of love
C           F  F                       G
glory of love, just might come through
And all your two-bit friends
have gone and ripped you off
They're talking behind your back saying, man
you're never going to be no human being
And you start thinking again
'bout all those things that you've done
And who it was and what it was
and all the different things you made every different scene

CHORUS (FINAL) 
Ahhh, but remember that the city is a funny place
Something like a circus or a sewer
And just remember different people have peculiar tastes
and the -
- Glory of love, the glory of love
the glory of love, might see you through
yeah, but now, now
Glory of love, the glory of love
the glory of love, might see you through
Glory of love, ah, huh, huh, the glory of love
Glory of love, glory of love
Glory of love, now, glory of love, now
Glory of love, now, now, now, glory of love
Glory of love, give it to me now, glory of love see you through
Oh, my Coney Island baby, now
(I'm a Coney Island baby, now)
I'd like to send this one out for Lou and Rachel
and all the kids and P.S. 192
Coney Island baby
Man, I'd swear, I'd give the whole thing up for you
Baton Rouge 
Tom: Am
                        {Am/D}      G
        When I think of you Baton Rouge
                      Am/D       G
        I think of a mariachi band
                      Am/D                               G
        I think of sixteen and a crisp green football field
                          C           G  
        I think of the girl I never had
                         Am/D        G
        When I think of you Baton Rouge
                        Am/D         G
        I think of a back seat in a car
                         Am/D            G
        The windows are foggy and so are we
                  C                   G
        as the police asked for our I.D.
                    G
        So helpless
                      C
        so helpless
             G              C
        Ooohhh, so helpless
             G              C
        ooohhh, so helpless
             G              C
        Ooohhh, so helpless
       C (let ring)
        so helpless
 
         Well I once had a car lost it in a divorce
        the judge was a woman of course
        She said give her the car and the house and your taste
        or else I set the trial date
        So now when I think of you Baton Rouge
        and the deep southern belles, ah, with their touch
        I wonder where love ends and hate starts to blush
        in the fields in the swamps in the rush
        In the terra-cotta cobwebs of your mind, ah
        when did you start seeing me as a spider spinning web
        Of malicious intent and you as poor poor me
       at the fire at the joint, this disinterred and broken mount
        in the bedroom in the house where we were unmarried
        So helpless, so helpless
        so helpless
        So helpless, so helpless
        so helpless
        When was I the villain in your heart
        putting the brake on your start
        you slapped my face and cried and screamed
        that's what marriage came to mean
        The bitterest ending of a dream
        You wanted children and I did not
        was that what it was all about
        You might get a laugh when you hear me shout
        you might get a laugh when you hear me shout
        I wish I had
        So helpless, so helpless
        so helpless
        So helpless, so helpless
        so helpless
        Sometimes when I think of Baton Rouge
        I see us with two and a half strapping sons
        One and a half flushed daughters preparing to marry
        and two fat grandsons I can barely carry
        Daddy, uncle, family gathered there for grace
        a dog in a barbecue pit goes up in space
        The dream recedes in the morning with a bad aftertaste
        and I'm back in the big city worn from the race of the chase
        what a waste
        So thanks for the card the announcement of child
        and I must say you and Sam look great
        Your daughter's gleaming in that white wedding dress
        with pride
        sad to say I could never bring that to you that wide smile
        So I try not to think of Baton Rouge
        or of a, of a, of a mariachi band
        Or of sixteen and a crisp green football field
        and the girl, and the girl I never had, had, had, had
        So helpless, so helpless
        so helpless
        So helpless, so helpless
        so helpless

Remember that you're just one more person who's there


D       A       B
It's hard to live in the city
G       A       D
It's hard to live in the city, oh - oh - oh
D       A       B
It's hard to live in the city, oh - wow - wow
G       A       D
It's hard to live in the city

Perfect Day

Am     D
Just a perfect day,
G            C
Drink Sangria in the park,
F               Dm
And then later, when it gets dark, 
      E
We go home.
Am     D
Just a perfect day,
G           C
Feed animals in the zoo
F          Dm
Then later, a movie, too,
         E
And then home.

Oh it's such a perfect day,

I'm glad I spent it with you.

You just keep me hanging on,
         F#m     E       D
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it's such a perfect day, 
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.

Set the twilight reeling
Tom: A
Intro: |A    A A2 A| D     E    |    (main riff)
A                        A  A2  A  D
Take me for what I am
  E           A        A A2 A D      E
A star newly emerging
A                A A2 A   D
  Long simmering explodes
  E                A          A A2 A D       E
inside the self is reeling
        A                         A       A2      A
In the pocket of the heart in the rushing of the blood
       D                       E                A             A A2 A
D     E
In the muscle of my sex in the mindful mindless    love
  A                         A A2 A D
I accept the new found man
      E            A         A A2 A D    E
And   S   T   T    R.
etc...
distorted electric guitar part:
|E      |F#      |G       |A        |
       E                 F#
As the twilight sunburst gleams
       G                A
As the chromium moon it sets
     E             F#        G
As I lose all my regrets
    A     E      F#      G        A
And S T T R
   E                   F#       G
I accept the new found man
    A     E
And S T T R.
Pale Blue Eyes

Sometimes I feel so happy 
G                   D 
Sometimes I feel so sad 
                     Bm7 
Sometimes I feel so happy 
 G               A           D 
But mostly you just make me mad 
G         A            D 
Baby, you just make me mad 
   A                      D 
Linger on, you pale blue eyes

Linger on, you pale blue eyes 
D 
Thought of you as my mountain top 
G                     D 
Thought of you as my peak 
                        Bm7 
Thought of you as everething 
   G    A              D 
I've had but couldn't keep 
   G    A              D 
I've had but couldn't keep

Linger on, you pale blue eyes

Linger on, you pale blue eyes 
D 
Skip a life completely, 
G               D 
Stuff it in a cup 
                              Bm7 
She said money is like us in time 
  G    A                 D 
It lies but can't stand up 
G      A       D 
Down for you is up

Linger on, you pale blue eyes

Linger on, you pale blue eyes

It was good what we did yesterday 
G                    D 
And I'd do it once again 
                         Bm7 
The fact that you are married 
 G                   A          D 
Only proves you're my best friend 
G       A                 D 
But it's truly, truly a sin 
      A                   D 
Linger on, you pale blue eyes 
      A                   D 
Linger on, you pale blue eyes
