The Afterlife Tom: E E-A-Bm-A E-Bm-A-E (Bm is exchangable with D6)
After I died, and the make up had dried, I went back to my place. No moon that night, but a heavenly light shone on my face. Still I thought it was odd, there was no sign of God just to usher me in. Then a voice from above, sugar coated with Love, said, "Let us begin".
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line. You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.
OK, a new kid in school, got to follow the rule, you got to learn the routine. Woah, there's a girl over there, with the sunshiny hair, like a homecomin' queen. I said, "Hey, what you say? It's a glorious day, by the way how long you been dead?" Maybe you, maybe me, maybe baby makes three, but she just shook her head...
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line. You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.
Buddha and Moses and all the noses from narrow to flat, Had to stand in the line, just to glimpse the divine, what you think about that? Well it seems like our fate to suffer and wait for the knowledge we seek. It's all his design, no one cuts in the line, no one here likes a sneak
You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line. You got to fill out a form first, and then you wait in the line.
After you climb, up the ladder of time, the Lord God is near. Face to face, in the vastness of space, your words disappear. And you feel like swimming in an ocean of love, and the current is strong. But all that remains when you try to explain is a fragment of song... Lord is it, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do Lord, Be Bop A Lu La or Ooh Poppa Do Be Bop A Lu La

D And when you ran to me G Your cheeks flushed with the night. D Cmaj7 We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight, G A I held your hand.
D And when I awoke G and felt you warm and near, D Cmaj7 I kissed your honey hair G A with my grateful tears.
Cmaj7 G A Oh I love you, girl. Cmaj7 G A Oh, I love you.

Father And Daughter Tom: D
D Gadd9 G/D D If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream And for a fraction of a second you can’t remember where you are Just open your window and follow your memory upstream To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star
(Same as above) I believe the light that shines on you will shine on you forever (forever) And though I can’t guarantee there’s nothing scary hiding under your bed I’m gonna stand guard like a post card of a golden retriever And never leave til I leave you with a sweet dream in your head
D Gadd9 D I’m gonna watch you shine gonna watch you grow Gonna paint a sign so you’ll always know As long as one and one is two --oow There can never be a father who loved his daughter more than I love you
D
Trust you intuition it’s just like going fishing
G D
You cast you line and hope you get a bite
But you don’t need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race struggling to survive in its harshest night

Second verse:
She said, "It grieves me now to see you in such pain; I wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again." I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain about the fifty ways?"
She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight; I'm sure in the morning you'll begin to see the light." And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right; there must be fifty ways to leave your lover, fifty ways to leave your lover."

Scarborough Fair Tom: Am Intro: ||: Am Am7 (on 2nd fret) :||
Am G Am
Are you going to Scarborough Fair
C Am D Dsus D Am
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
G G/add C D Am
Remember me to one who lives there
Am G G/add C G Am
She was once a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt On the side of a hill in the deep forest green Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Tracing of sparrow in snowcrest brown With out no seems nor needle work Blankets and bed clothes the child of the mountain
Then she'll ne a true love of mine
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
Tell her to find me an acre of land On the side of of a hill a sprinking of leaves Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Washes the grave with silvery tears Between the salt water and the sea strands A soldier cleans and polishes a gun Then she'll ne a true love of mine Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Generals order their soldiers to kill And gather it all in a bunch of heather And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten Then she'll ne a true love of mine Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
Are you going to Scarborough Fair Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She was once a true love of mine
You can call me al Tom: G Intro: G D-D C C D-D G ( x 2 )
G D
A man walks down the street he says
C D
why am I soft in the middle now,
G D
why am I soft in the middle when
C D G
the rest of my life is so hard,
G D
I need a photo-opportunity,
C D G
I want a shot at redemption,
G D
dont want to end up a cartoon
C D
in a cartoon graveyard,
G D
bonedigger, bonedigger,
C D
dogs in the moonlight,
G D C D
far away in my well-lit room
G D
Mr. Beerbelly, Beerbelly,
C D
get these mutts away from me,
G D C D
you know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore.
G D
If youll be my bodyguard
C D G D C D
I can be your long lost pal,
G D
I can call you Betty,
C D
and Betty when you call me
G D C D
you can call me Al.
A man walks down the street, he says why am I short of attention, got a short little span of attention, and oh my nights are so long, wheres my wife and family, what if I die here, who will be my role-model, now that my role-model is gone, gone, he's ducked back down the alley with some roly-poly little bat-faced girl, all along, along there were incidents and accidents, there were hints and allegations.
Chorus
If youll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal,
I can call you Betty,
and Betty when you call me
G D C D
you can call me Al,
G D C D
call me Al.
A man walks down the street, its a street in a strange world, maybe its the Third World, maybe its just the first time around, he doesnt speak the language, he holds no currency, he is a foreign man, he is surrounded by the sound, the sound, of cattle in the marketplace, scatterlings and orphanages, he looks around, around, he sees angels in the architecture, spinning in infinity, he says Amen and Hallelujah!
Chorus

C G

Goodbye to Ro-osie, the queen of Corona

(Instrumental break)

Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes Tom: D

G A D G-A D G-A
Talkin' about diamonds on the soles of her shoes ( oo-ooh, oo-ooh)
She makes the sign of a teaspoon, he makes the sine of a wave The poor boy changes clothes & puts on aftershave To compensate for his ordinary shoes
She said "honey, take me dancing" but they ended up out sleeping
in a doorway
By the bordellos and the lights of Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I can say ......

[G]I hear the [C]drizzle of the [G]rain_ [Am]Like a [Em]memo[C]ry it [Bm7]falls [G]Soft and [Bm]warm con[G]tinu[C]ing_ [Am]Tapping [Em]on my [D]roof and [G]walls [C] [G]
[G]And from the [C]shelter of my [G]mind_ [Am]Through the [Em]window [C]of my [Bm7]eyes [G]I gaze be[Bm]yond the [G]rain drenched [C]streets_ [Am]To England [Em]where my [D]heart [G]lies [C] [G]
[G]My mind's dis[C]tracted and [G]diffused_ [Am]My [Em]thoughts are many [C]miles a[Bm7]way [G]They lie with [Bm]you when [G]you're a[C]sleep_ [Am]And kiss you [Em]when you [D]start your [G]day [C] [G]
[G]And a song I was [C]writing is left [G]undone_ [Am]I don't know [Em]why I [C]spent the [Bm7]time [G]Writing [Bm]song I [G]can't be[C]lieve_ [Am]With words that [Em]tear and [D]strain to [G]rhyme [C] [G]
[G]And so you [C]see I have come to [G]doubt_ [Am]All that [Em]I once [C]held as [Bm7]true
[G]I stand a[Bm]lone with[G]out be[C]liefs_ [Am]The only [Em]truth I [D]know is [G]you [C] [G]
[G]And as I [C]watch the drops of [G]rain [Am]weave their [Em]weary [C]paths and [Bm7]die [G]I know that [Bm]I am [G]like the [C]rain_ [Am]There but for the [Em]grace of [D]you go [G]I. [C] [G]
Slip Sliding Away Tom: C

Slip sliding a[C]way, slip sliding[Am] away
You know the n[C]earer your destin[G]ation, the [F]more you slip sl[G]iding a[C]way
{end_of_chorus}
Whoah and I know a [Am]man, he came from my h[C]ometown He wore his p[F]assion for his woman like a t[Fm]horny crown He said D[C]olores, I live in [Am]fear My love for y[C]ou's so overpow[G]ering, I'm af[F]raid that [G]I will dis[C]appear (Chorus)
I know a [Am]woman, (who) became a [C]wife These are the [F]very words she uses to [Fm]describe her life She said a [C]good day ain't got no [Am]rain She said a [C]bad day is when I lie[G] in the bed And I [F]think of things that[G] might have [C]been (Chorus)
And I know a [Am]father who had a [C]son He longed to [F]tell him all the reasons for the [Fm]things he'd done He came a [C]long way just to ex[Am]plain He kissed his [C]boy as he lay [G]sleeping Then he [F]turned around and he [G]headed home a[C]gain (Chorus)
Whoah God only [Am]knows, God makes his [C]plan The infor[F]mation's unavailable to the [Fm]mortal man We're worki[C]n' our jobs, collect our [Am]pay Believe we're [C]gliding down the [G]highway, when in [F]fact we're s[G]lip sliding a[C]way (Chorus repeats 2x)

Cloudy Tom: D
Cl[D]oudy, The sky is grey and white and clou[G]dy. Sometimes I think it's hanging d[D]own[F#7] on m[Ddim]e. I[A]t's hitch-hike a hundred m[F#7]iles. I'm a [A]rag-a-muffin c[Bm]hild. P[E]ointed finger, painted smile. I le[A]ft my shadow waiting down the [A7]road for me a while.
Cl[D]oudy, My thoughts are scattered and they're clou[G]dy. They have no borders, [D]no b[F#7]oundar[Ddim]ies. T[A]hey echo and they s[F#7]well, From Tol[A]stoy to Tinker[Bm]bell, D[E]own from Berkeley to Carmel. Got [A]some pictures in my pocket and a [A7]lot of time to kill.
Hey, Su[D]nshine-- I haven't seen you in a l[G]ong time. Why don't you show your face and be[D]nd [F#7]my m[Ddim]ind? Th[A]ese clouds stick to the s[F#7]ky, Like a fl[A]oating question, [Bm]why? A[E]nd they linger there to die. [A]They don't know where they're going, and my [A7]friend, neither do I.
