Alternative Rock At The Campfire

a collection of songs, chords and lyrics compiled

by Peer-Axel Kroeske

Hi, music addicts around the world

Do you know the situation? You sit together with good friends at the campfire or anywhere else and everybody is in the mood to listen to the guitar, maybe to sing along and so you wanna start to play. What song? Once too often you've already played "American Pie", "Let It Be", "Country Roads" or "Sweet Home Alabama" so you're looking for something new. But in this moment you just cannot think of anything paticular. This little collection of songs might help. They are excellent for playing them on an accoustic guitar. They're not all exactly what I'd consider as Alternative Rock - but who'd care? So have a good party next time round the campfire. 










Red Hot Chili Peppers - Road Trippin'


standard picking
Em (played like Am pattern on 7th) / C (E on 8th) / Bm (Em 7th)
Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town
It's time to steal away
Let's go get lost
Anywhere in the USA
Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost


Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing just a 
mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the...

Am / G (x2003x) / C / D
...sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for

So much as come before those battle' lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the 
sun, just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for

Em / A / C / D
Em / A / C / B

Em / A / C / D7(+F#)
(instr.)

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory's got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars
It's time to steal away
Let's go. get lost
Right here in the USA
Let's go get lost
Let's go get lost

Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing just a
mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the 
sun

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for

Norah Jones - Sunrise

capo 1st

intro (base B) x2x032 / (base A) x0x032 / (baseD) xx0~232 (3x)
G

A / Bm
Sunrise, sunrise
A / D
Looks like mornin' in your eyes
Bm / A / G / D
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
F#m / Bm
Sunrise, sunrise
A / D
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Bm / A / G / D
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said 
Bm / A / D / G
hoo... (3x)
E
To you

Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face
Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

And I said hoo...
To you

(piano solo verse scheme)

E / G
Now good night
Throw its cover down
ahmm on me again
Ooh and if I'm right
It's the only way
...to bring me back

Hoo... (3x)
To you
Hoo... (3x)

E / D
to you




Coldplay: Clocks


intro: Pick on: xx645x / xx443x / xx222x

E / Bm / A
Lights go out and I can't be seen
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing

Come out of things unsaid
Shouldn't I pull off my head and a
Trouble that can't be named
Tigers waiting to be tamed singing

You are

Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take you home
I could not stop the tune I know singing

Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities, am I
A part of the cure
Or am I part of the disease, singing

You are

G / D / A
And nothing else compares
You are
Home, home where I wanted to go

Am
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
Em
All these things into position
All these things will one day swallow whole
C / Em / Am
And fade out again, and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain i am under
Be a world child, form a circle before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things will one day swallow whole

And fade out again and fade out again





The Verve: Lucky Man


G / D / A
Happiness more or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my

Happiness coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am

Em / G / D / A
But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

G / D / A
Well, I'm a lucky man
With fire in my hands

Happiness something in my own place
I'm standing naked
Smiling, I feel no disgrace
With who I am

Happiness coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know just who I am

But how many corners do I have to turn?
How many times do I have to learn
All the love I have is in my mind?

I hope you understand

Gotta love that'll never die

Happiness more or less
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Happiness coming and going
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
I know o, my, my

Gotta love that'll never die
No, no I'm a lucky man
It's just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my






Blur - Out Of Time

Em / F / Em / G
Where's the love song
Set us free
Em / F / Em / F / G
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way round

...And I don't know what love will be
But if we start dreaming now
Lord knows we'll never clear the clouds

Em / F
And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
Am / Am + G# (402210) / Am + G (302210) / F
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
Gone are the future
Way out in space

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time?
We're out of time
Out of time





Mad World
(Michael Andrews / orig. by Tears for Fears)

Em / G / D / A
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places Worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere Going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses.
No expression No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow No tommorow

Em / A
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles

It's a very, very
Mad World (2x)

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No-one knew me No-one knew me
Hello teacher tell me What's my lesson 
Look right through me Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny...

Em / Am / G / D
The walls are built up, stone by stone,
the fields divided one by one.
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long"

D / C9 (x3203x) / G (x02003x)
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
Em / D (200xxx) / G (300xxx)
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"

Am / C / G / D
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself to sleep.
Way to shield the hated heat.
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells 
ring again. Field to weed is stricken thin

And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
We can reach our destination, but we're still a ways away"
 








Pearl Jam: Black


E/A
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Her lace spread out before me, as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
C/E
Ooh, and all I taught her was - everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all - that she wore
D/C/E
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...

E/A
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
C/E
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
D/C/E
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
D/C/D/C/Em
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...

Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine






Foo Fighters: Times Like These


D / Am / C / G / D
I, I'm a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away, follows you back home
I, I'm a streetlight shining
I'm a white light blinding bright, burning off and on

C / G / D
It's times like these you learn to live again
It's times like these you give and give again
It's times like these you learn to love again
It's times like these time and time again

I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky that hangs stars upon the night
I, I'm a little divided
Do I stay or run away and leave it all behind






Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Zephyr Song


Am9 / G / Em / F
Can I get your hand to write on?
Just a piece of leg to bite on
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash a light on
Take a look it's on display...for you
coming down, not today
Did you need your fortune teller
Get it off with no propeller
Do it up it's on with stella
What a way to finally smell her
Pickin' up but not too strong...for you
Take a piece and pass it on

D / G / A
Fly away on my zephyr
I Feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together


Fly on...my mind
Rebel and a liberator
find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly amiator
Take a look it's on display...for you
comin' down not today

Fly away on my zephyr
I Feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We'll find a place together

Solo (Am / ...)
(wowowowo won't you yeyeye...)

Fly away on my zephyr
I Feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my Zephyr
We're going to live forever...
Forever





COUNTING CROWS
Angels of the silences


listen to the inspiring VH1-unplugged version on the Across-A-Wire-CD!


G (x20003x) / C / G / D 
Well I guess you left me with some feathers in my hand Did it make it any 
easier to leave me where I stand? I guess there might not be too many who 
would stand beside you now Where'd you come from? Where am I going? 
Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for... 
 
G / G(&F#) / G(&E) / D / Bm / D / Am / C
Waiting for you All my sins... I said that I would pay for them if I could 
come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming 
 
Every night these silhouettes appear above my head Little angels of the 
silences that climb into my bed and whisper Every time I fall asleep Every 
time I dream "Did you come? Would you lie? Why'd you leave us 'till we're 
only good for... 
 
Waiting for you" All my sins... I said that I would pay for them if I could 
come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming 
 
I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed Little angels hang 
above my head and read me like an open book Suck my blood break my 
nerve offer me their arms Well, I will not be an enemy of anything I'll only 
stand here 
 
Waiting for you All my sins... I said that I would pay for them if I could 
come back to you All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming






Don't let Me Be Misunderstood

(by The Animals / Elvis Costello a.o.)


Am / G / F / E
Baby can you understand me now
Sometimes i feel a little mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong i seem to be mad

C / G / F / Am
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby sometimes i'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
Other times it seems that all i have to do is worry
And then i know you're bound to see my other side

Chorus

F / G / F / G / C
If i get mad at you i want you to know
That i never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and i get my share
But that is one thing i would never do 'cause i love you

Oh don't you know i'm human
I've got my faults just like any one
Sometimes i lie awake long regretting
Some foolish thing, some sinful thing i've done

Chorus x 3

Gonna have fun in the city,
Be with my girl she´s so pretty........
 






Oh Susanna: River Blue

Em / G / A / C
Keep this picture close to me
to remind me how things used to be
we were just two happy little kids

I wish that we could go back home
back to the time before it all went wrong
before the day I ran away out here

G / D /Am / C
Little sister I don't blame you
for thinking I sold you down the river blue
I alwys wanted to protect you
but I was too scared to
while I was just a kid

No matter how fast you run
you end up where you started from
to face the secret that you were forced to keep

believe me when I say my friend
I love you more than anything
through the truth our lifes will be released

Little sister... 

Keep this picture close to me
to remind me how things used to be
we were just two happy little kids

looked out over America
swear I could see the buffalo

oooh I never wanna leave...





Lauryn Hill : Selah


Amaj7/F#m/Bm/E/Amaj7 (2x)
Nothing can be done against the truth
No matter how we remain in denial
Wasting time Replacing time
With each empty excuse
But that'll only work a little while

Bm/E/Amaj7/F#m/Bm/E/Amaj7
Coping with despair
Knowing you're not there
Ashamed to just admit
I've been a fool
So I blame it on the sun
Run away from everyone
Hoping to escape this ridicule

C#m/F#m/C#m/F#m/Bm/E/Amaj7
Trapped in misery
Wrapped so miserably
In this deception that I'm wearin' like a 
skin
Dying to maintain
Oh I keep trying to explain
A heart that never loved me to begin

Bm/E/Amaj7/F#m/Bm/E/Amaj7
Oh I'm such a mess
I have no choice but to confess
That I've been desperately trying to 
belong
Lying to myself
And everybody else
Refusing to admit my right was wrong

Amaj7/F#m/Bm/C#m
And then he came
Selah
And it means
Praise and Meditation
And then he came
Selah
And it means
Did ya think about that?
And then he came
Selah
Oh and it means
Praise and Meditation
And then he came
Selah 
oh and it means
That it is seen

How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
This treason from within
That reasons with my sin
Won't be happy till it sees the death of me

Selfishly addicted
To a life that I depicted
Conflicted cuz it's not reality
Oh what's left of me
I beg you desperately
Cause me to agree to what I know is 
best for me
Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can 
heal

The choices that I have made
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
What a wasted use of space
Should I die before I wake?
In all of my religion
I've fortified this prison
Obligated to obey
The demands of bad decisions

Please save me from myself
I need you to save me from myself
Please save me from myself so I can 
heal

And then he came Selah
And it means Praise and Meditation
And then he came Selah
And it means Did ya think about that?
And he came Selah
Oh and it means Meditation
And then he came Selah
Oh and it means That it is seen
And then he came

Indigo Girls: Hammer & Nail


(Capo 4th)
G / D / Em / C
Clearing webs from the hovel
A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
I've been digging too deep, I always do.
I see my fate on the surface
I look a lot like Narcissus
A dark aabyss of an emptiness
Standing on the edge of a drowning blue.

Gmaj7 (320002) / C / Gmaj7 / C
Am / G (x20003) / C / A / D / C / G (x20003) / D
I look behind my ears for the green
Even my sweat smells clean
Glare off the white hurts my eyes.

G / D / C / D
Gotta get out of bed get a hammer and a nail
Learn how to use my hands, not just my head
I think myself into jail
Am / Em / C / A / C
Now I know a refuge never grows
From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose
Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose.

I had a lot of good intentions
Sit around for fifty years and then collect a pension,
Started seeing the road to hell and just where it starts
But my life is more than a vision
The sweetest part is acting after making a decision
I started seeing the whole as a sum of its parts

My life is part of the global life
I'd found myself becoming more immobile
When I'd think a little girl in the world can't do anything.
A distant nation my community
A street person my responsibility
If I have a care in the world I have a gift to bring.





Travis: Driftwood

capo 2nd

intro: Am / D / Am / D

G / C / D
Everything is open, nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to oceans, oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is but your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges never to return
Watching bridges burn


You´re driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, gind you

Nobody is an island everyone has to go
Pillars turn to butter butterflying low
Low is where your heart is but your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges never with the flow

Am / D
And you really didn´t think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
G / C / Am / C / G
So i´m sorry that you turned to driftwood
But you´ve been drifting for a long, long time

(bridge Am / D )

Everywhere there´s trouble nowhere´s safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels shovelling the snow
Frozen you have chosen the path you wish to go
Drifting now forever and forever more
Until you reach youre shore

You´re driftwood ...

And you really didn´t think it would happen ...
You´ve been drifting for a long, long
Drifting for a long, long time.

Mana: En el muelle de San Blas


Intro picking on
Em(xx9987) / A (xx7655) / D9 (xx7755) / G (xx5433) - (xx5432)

Em / A / D9 / G
Ella Despidio a su amor, el partio en un barco en el muelle de San Blas
El juro y que volveria, y empapada en llanto ella juro que esperaria
Miles de lunas pasaron, y siempre ella estaba en el muelle esperando
Muchas tardes se anidaron, se anidaron en su pelo y en sus labios.
Ooooh...

Llevaba el mismo vestido, y por si el volviera no se fuera a equivocar
Los cangrejos le mordian, sus ropajes, su tristeza y su ilusion
Y el tiempo se escurrio y sus ojos se le llenaron de amaneceres
Y del mar se enamoro, y su cuerpo se enrraizo en el muelle.

D/A/Bm/A
Sola, sola, en el olvido. Sola, sola, con su espiritu
D/A/G/A
Sola, sola, con su amor y el mar. Sola, en el muelle de San Blas.


Su cabello se blanqueo, pero ningun barco a su amor le devolvia
Y en el pueblo le decian, le decian la loca del muelle de San Blas
Y una tarde de abril, la trataron transladar al manicomio
Nadie la pudo arrancar, y del mar nunca jamas la separaron.

Sola. sola en el olvido. Sola, sola con su espiritu.
Sola, sola con el sol y el mar. Sola
Sola, sola en el olvido, Sola, sola con su espiritu.
Sola, sola con su amor el mar. Sola, en el muelle de San Blas.

(Bridge) Bm/G/Bm/A

Sola, sola en el olvido, Sola, sola con su espiritu.
Sola, sola con su amor el mar. Sola, en el muelle de San Blas. (2x)

D / G
Ooooohahahaha yee

Se quedo, se quedo, sola, sola.
Se quedo, se quedo, con el sol y con el mar
Se quedo ahi, se quedo hasta el fin.
Se quedo ahi, se quedo, en el muelle de San Blas
Sola, Sola se quedo.

Duerme Conmigo by Jarabe De Palo


Em / (D) / C / G / Em / C / D
Busco un lugar en esta ciudad,
donde esconderme de la corriente que me lleva.
Río de lava que todo lo arrasa,
floto en el tedio, oscuro viaje hacia el infierno.
Busco ese lugar.

Dime la verdad, poco me queda,
querría perderme, huir para siempre, echar a volar.
Lluvia de otoño que tarde llega,
haz que en la arena que me rodea crezca la hierba.
Dime la verdad.

C / D
Y descubrir que algo se mueve junto a mi;
y decidir sobre la marcha adonde ir;
y despertar, abrir los ojos y encontrar, 
G / F / C / C7
que nada sigue igual.

Busco un refugio en el camino,
donde a solas pasen las horas y tenga sentido.
Ven a mi cama, duerme conmigo,
entra en mis sueños porque hace tiempo que me he perdido.
Ven a mi cama; duerme conmigo.







SMITHS
There's A Light That Never Goes Out


Am / F / C / G
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
who are young and alive,
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, anymore Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I want to see light,
Driving in your car
Oh please don't drop me home
Because It's not my home, It's their home
And I'm welcome no more 

C / Am / F / G / C / Dm / F / G
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side,is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well the pleasure, the privilege is mine Take me out tonight
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass I thought oh God,
my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask
Take me out tonight

Take anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Just driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, Oh Lord
No I haven't got one. There is a light that never goes out...

Caused by the vibrations of love
They're about to shake me to pieces

Everyone is here to see

Jet-eyed glitter child strappin' on a gold guitar

We witness the ultrasonic imploding exitation
Bodies exhausted in total elation

Oh Debbie
Queen of the underground
Carrying her gold guitar
The show is over
My downtown baby is headin' home
Singing a song

She's walkin' alone
She walking down the block
Now she's comin' my way
As our hearts and our dark sunglasses lock

chorus

Every day-every day
Just a little bit wilder






Travis: Sing

capo 2nd

Em / Am
Baby, you've been going so crazy
lately, nothing seems to be going right
solo, why do you have to get slow
you're so...you've been waiting in the sun too long

G / D / Am / G
But if you sing, sing
sing, sing, sing, sing
for the love you bring won't mean a thing
unless you sing, sing, sing, sing

colder, crying on you shoulder
hold her, and tell her everythings gonna be fine
surely, you've been going to early
hurry, cause no one's gonna be stopped

But if you sing...

Baby, there's something going on today
but i say nothing, nothing, nothing...

Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin', ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked, ruled his world

Blind Faith: Long Way Back Home


C9 (x32030) / G6 (x20030) / G-Bb (x10030) / D
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

G / A / D 
Well I'm weary and I just ain't got the time
Em / G / A / D
Oh.., and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body at home
Somebody must change

You are the reason I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key

Well I'm weary and I just ain't got the time
Oh.., and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

D / A / C / G / D / G
1    Well that day, that day What a mess 
- what a marvel
I walked into that cloud again And I 
lost myself - And I'm
sad, sad, sad
Small, alone, scared - Craving
purity A fragile mind and
A gentle spirit

That day, that day What a marvellous mess
Well this is all that I can do - I'm done 
to be me
Sad, scared, small, alone,
beautiful - It's supposed to be like
this I accept everything It's
supposed to be like this That

When everything was a mess
And everything was in place
And there's too much hurt
Sad, small, scared, alone
And everyone's a cynic
And it's hard and it's sweet
But it's supposed
To be like this

That day, that day
When I sat in the sun
And I thought and I cried
'Cause I'm sad, scared, small
Alone, strong
And I'm nothing
And I'm true
Only a brave man
Can break through
And it's all okay
Yeah, it's okay







Alanis Morisette: Ironic


capo 4th
D/G/D/Em
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
F/C/D
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice." And Isn't this ironic ... don't you think?

It's like rain...

Cmaj7 (032000)/D
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's ok and everythings going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think evertyhing's gone wrong and everthing blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
and then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

It's like rain...

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
helping you out
 







Melissa Etheridge: Sleep While I Drive


Am7 (x02010) - Am7 (x02030) / G - G2 (32020x) arpeggio
Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
F / G / C
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved
Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I drive

We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams

D / C / G
You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something
That's not in your life
F / G / C
My intentions are true
Won't you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover you're free
Can't you get that with me

Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you
I'll go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while I drive








Rainbirds: Blueprint


capo 3rd

Am
G / C / G / Am / C / G
(intro)

G / F / Am / G 
I walk ahead alone
You tell me not to go so fast
But I am slower than you think
I am as careful as your touch
When you want me to relax
I am as serious as your looks
When you want me to believe
Oh Oh Oh

G / C / G / Am / C / G
(bridge)

G / F / Am / G 
Here is a blueprint of your past
Here is a blueprint of your destiny
I walk ahead alone
You tell me not to go so fast

Em / F / C / G / Em / F / G (1st)
G / C / G / Am / C / G (2nd)
I sneak around the corner
with a blueprint of my lover
with a blueprint of my life
I would better run for cover

I walk ahead alone
You tell me never ever leave me
But I am already gone
I am further than the wall
you have built around your future
I am higher than the tower
you climb in a suicidal mood
Oh Oh Oh

Here is a blueprint of your past
Here is a blueprint of your destiny
That's all there is of you
and that's all there is of me








K's Choice - Believe

originally played starting on F or capo 5th and these chords, but starting with C is better to sing 

C / G / Em / F
Bravely I look further than I see
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now
I'm so aware of where I am, but I don't know where that is
And there's something right in front of me and I

F / G / F / C / G / Em / F
Touch the fingers of my hand and I wonder if it's me
Holding on and on to theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me
I believe in me

Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I'll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it's a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face

Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it's me
Holding on and on to love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me, oh
I believe in me

C / F / C / F / C / F / F / C / Cm / D 
Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless, homeless
vacuum state of peace

C / G / Em / F
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me (2x)

Wait for me, I'm nothing on my own
I'm willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I'm so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real and
As long as you're in front of me

then I'll I watch the fingers of our hands
And I'm grateful that it's me
Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and 
on
I believe in me
I'm willing to go on but not alone, not now
I'm so aware of everything

PURITY by NEW MODEL ARMY


capo 4th
Am / F / G / Em / Am / F / Em
The rams move in eastwards
In waves of succession
Drawing lines of grey across the 
sky
With history just as close
As a hand on the shoulder
In hunger and impatience we cry

The battle against corruption
Rages in each corner
There must be something better,
something pure
And the call it is answered
From the caves to the cities
Come the dealers of salvation on 
earth

We´ve seen the restless children
At the head of the columns
Come to purify the future
with the arrogance of youth
Nothing is as cruel as the
Righteousness of innocents
With automatic weapons
and a gospel of truth

Em / D / C / Bm / Am / G / F / Em / F / Em / Am
Revolution forever
Succession of the seasons
Within the blood of nature
All raised to rot and die
This purity is a lie

Now immaculate conception in
sterilised laboratories
How this vanity goes on
Or in the message of the preacher
With his morals and obsessions
The wars that we wage upon 
ourselves

Gm / Bb / C7 / Eb
Purity is a virtue, purity is an angel
Purity is for madmen to make
fools of us all

So forgive yourself my friend
All this will soon be over
What happened her tonight
is nothing at all

Revolution forever ...

I will always see Brendan
At that broken down piano
His fingers thick and red
shaking on the keys
Of alcohol and working
Still playing with the faith
that never leaves

So sit us down, buy us a drink
Tell us a good story
Sing us a song we know to be true
I don´t give a damn
That I never be worthy
Fear is the only enemy
that I still know







DUSTY SPRINGFIELD: The Look Of Love

capo 4th, difficult chords actually,
I'm not 100% sure, but this transcription seems to be better than the one at OLGA 


Am7 / Em79 (020032) / F / E4 (022200) / E7
The look of love is in your eyes 
A look your smile can't disguise 
Am7 / A7 / F / Fmmaj7 (132111) / Fm (133111) / Cmaj7 (335453) / C7 (335353)
The look of lo-ove is saying so much more than just words could ever say 
F / Dm7 (xx0211) / E4 / Am7 / D 
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away 
 
Cmaj7 (x32000) / Fmaj7 (xx3210)
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you 
How long I have waited 
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you 
Don't ever go You've got the 
 
Look of love, it's on your face 
A look that time can't erase 
Be mine toni-ight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this 
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss 
 
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you 
How long I have waited 
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you 

Am7 / D / Dm7 / G49 / Cmaj7
Don't ever go 
Don't ever go 
 
I love you so 
I love you so 
I love you so





Travis: Flowers In The Window


G / F / G / Am / G / F
When I first held you I was cold.
A melting snowman I was told.
But there was no-one there to hold 
F / G
before I swore that I would be alone forever more.

C / G6 (x20030) / Am / D / Dm7 / G
Wow, look at you now, flowers in the window.
It's such a lovely day,
and I'm glad you feel the same,
'Cos to stand up, out in the crowd, you are on in a million,
and I love you so let's watch the flowers grow.

There is no reason to feel bad.
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad.
It's just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold,
but I am here to help you with the load.

Wow, look at you now, ...

So now, we're here and now is fine.
So far away from there and there is time, time, time.
To plant new seeds and watch them grow 
so there'll be flowers in - the window when we go.

Wow, look at you now, ...






CHRIS WHITLEY: Phonecall From Leavenworth

played on Dobro open tuning, chords are A / D / E 


If they hold me here much longer 
Probably go mad all by myself 
Now I really need somebody 
Said I really need somebody's help 
Why does a man up in the judgement chair 
Got his ass and God's right arm in some double pair - alright 
Walkin' a frozen line 
A western winter be hail and rain 
Way back in New York this mornin' 
There ain't no one there who ever gonna remember my name 
Now when the sun comes up 
Mama you should know 
That now I just don't care no more - alright 
 
Three o'clock this morning 
When I thought I saw Jesus coming down 
He came through the concrete baby 
He came through them walls without no sound 
Now I mean concrete walls that ain't no clay 
I closed my eyes and he slipped away - alright 
 
They look at you sideways 
They call no man by his Christian name 
All you got is your backbone to lean on 
You can expect no help from your brain 
Now when a man wants reason 
He best be willin' to pay 
I'm down in Leavenworth prison now 
I do not count no days

Travis: Side

capo 3rd

Em / C / D / Em
Well, I believe there's someone watching over you.
They're watching every single thing you say.
And when you die, they'll set you down and take you through.
You'll realise one day...

G / D / Em / C / D
... That the grass is always greener on the other side,
the neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
and when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky,
we all will live,
we all will die.
There is nor wrong,
there is no right,
the circle only has one side.

We all try hard to live our lives in harmony
For fear of falling swiftly overboard
But life is both, a major and a minor key
Just open up the chord

But the grass is always greener on the other side,
the neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive
and when time is running out you wanna stay alive
We all live under the same sky,
we all will live,
we all will die.
There is nor wrong,
there is no right,
the circle only has one side.

(bridge) Em / C / Em / C / D

The grass ...

Em

And now we're grown up orphans that         never knew their names
Don't belong to        noone, that's a shame
you could hide be-     side me,             maybe for a while and
I won't tell           noone your           name


2.
Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there, did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life, is more than who we are


2nd Part:
We grew up way too fast, now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
and I won't tell noone your name
and I won't tell 'em your name (X2)

3.
I think about you all the time, but I don't need to sing
It's lonely where you are, come back down, and I won't tell em your name .

There must be something
In the way I feel
That she don't want me to feel
The stare she bares cut me
I don't care
You see so what if I bleed

E | G | D | C 
I could never change 
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

A mountain never seems to have
The need to speak
A look that shares so many seek
The sweetest feeling
I got from you
The things I said to you were true

I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

A | C | G | F 
I could have lied I'm such a fool
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
Showed her and I told her how
She struck me but I'm fucked up now

But now she's gone yes she's gone away
A soulful song
That would not stay
You see she hides 'cause she is scared
But I don't care     
I won't be spared

Two jumps in a week I bet you 
think that's pretty clever don't you boy
Flying on your motorcycle 
watching all the ground beneath you drop

You'd kill yourelf for recognition
kill yourself to never ever stop
You broke another mirror now you're 
turning into something you are not

Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry 

Drying up in converastion
you will be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces
You just sit there wishing you could still make love

They're the ones who'll hate you when you
think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit at you
You will be the one screaming out

Don't leave me high
Don't leave me dry

It's the best thing that you ever had
the best thing you've had was gone away
Don't leave me...

Life


Am | G 

Life
Number and a name
Don't know what to think
Don't know what to say
Life
Like the actor and the play
When the curtains rise
You must take to the stage

Em | D | C
You wanna stand on the roof
You wannit all too soon
You must give it all away
It's the price that you must pay

Love
Sometimes easy sometimes strange
Like the pictures that you paint
Sometimes clear and sometimes grey
Love is like a book
With your writing on the page
But the words you want to write
Not the words you wanna say
You wanna stand on the roof
You wannit all too soon
You must give it all away
It's the price that you must pay

Time
Time just drifts away
Like the ending of a life
Like the parting of the waves
Oh time
Time will never wait
Like the lovesong in my head
It can't be there to stay
You wanna stand on the roof
You wannit all to soon
You must give it all away
It's the price that you must pay..






Crosby, Stills & Nash: 
Long Time Gone


Words and music by David Crosby

Am7 | Bm | C | Bm
 It´s been a long time comin´
It´s been a long time gone

Am | G | F
And it appears to be long (3x)
F | G | Am
such a long long long long time before the dawn

Turn, turn any corner,
you must hear, must hear what the people say,
you know there´s something goin´on around here
that surely, surely won´t stand the light of the day.
 
It´s been a long time comin´
it´s been a long time gone.
But you know the darkest hour
always, always just before dawn.

Speak out, you got to speak out against
the madness, you got to speak your mind, 
if you dare
But don´t try to get yourself elected.
If you do you had better cut your hair.

Em / Bm / D / A / Em / Bm / C

Start tearing the old man down
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Start turning the grain into the ground Roll a new leaf over
In the middle of the night, there’s an old man treading around in the 
gathered rain
Well mister, if you’re going to walk on water
Could you drop a line my way?

G / D / Em / C / G / D / C
Omaha Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of matters
It’s the heart that matters more
G / D / Em / D / C / G / Am
I think you better turn your ticket in 
G / D / C / G / Am
and get your money back at the door

Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire Roll a new life over
In the middle of the night, there's an old man threading his toes 
through a bucket of rain
Hey mister, you don’t want to walk on water
you’re only going to walk all over me

Omaha ...

Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground Roll a new love over
In the middle of the day, there’s a young man rolling around in the 
earth and rain
Hey Mister, if you’re going to walk on water
You know you’re only going to walk all over me.

Omaha ...

/   G   /   H   /   C   /   Cm  /

When you were here before
couldn't look you in the eye
you're just like an angel
you're skin makes me cry

you float like a feather
in a beautiful world
and I wish I was special
you're so fucking special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again,
she's running out
she run, run, run, ruun, ruun

Whatever makes you happy
whatever you want
you're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here

ROUND HERE


C / D / Em / G
Step out the front door like a 
Ghost into the fog where 
No one notices the contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you 
The angels get a better view
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

And I walk in the air between the rain, 
through myself and back again.
Where - I don’t know 
Maria says she’s dying 
through the door, I hear her crying
Why -I don’t know

C / D / Em / G
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a 
suitcase in her hand
She said she’d like to meet a boy 
who looks like Elvis
She walks along the edge of where 
the ocean meets the land
Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus

She parks her car outside of my house and 
takes her clothes off,
She says she’s close to understanding Jesus
And she knows she’s more that just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she’s nervous



Round here we’re carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions but we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she’s slipping through my hands 

A / D
Oooho

C / D / A
Sleeping children got to run like the wind 
Out of the lightning dream
Mama’s little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning

She says, "It’s only in my head."
She says, "Shhh....I know it’s only in my head."
But the girl on the car in the parking lot says: 
"Man, you should try to take a shot
Can’t you see my walls are crumbling."
Then she looks up at the building and says she’s thinking of jumping.
She says she’s tired of life; she must be tired of something.

Round here she’s always on my mind
Round here I got lots of time
Round here we’re never sent to bed early 
nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very very late

I can't see nothing round here
Catch me if I'm falling catch me if I'm falling
Catch me cos I'm falling down on you
I say I want to look away
Oh man I say I want to look on
And I can't see nothing nothing 
round here

SOUL TO SQUEEZE


F / C / Dm / Bb / Dm / F / C / Bb
I got a bad disease,
Up from my brain is where I bleed.
In sanity it seems,
Is got me by my soul to squeeze.
Well all the love from me,
With all these dying trees I scream.
The Angels in my dreams,
have turned to demons of greed,
That's me.

F / C / Dm / Bb
Where I go I just don't know,
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind,
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Today loves smile on me,
It took away my pain, said please
All that you ride is free,
You gotta let it be,
Oh ya.

Where I go I just don't know,
I got to, gotta, gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind,
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

You're so polite indeed,
Well I got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze,
And take away my self destruction.


It's bitter baby,
And it's very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
but I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I be coming back baby,
I be coming back for more.

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone, 
ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad, 
like an apple gift but i went out and never said my pleasures 
I'm much better but I won't regret it never

Where I go I just dont't know,
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind,
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Where I go I just don't know,
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my piece of mind,
I'm gonna keep for the end of time!

BRING 'EM ALL IN


Capo 5th bend then play as if it was:
Am / Em7 / Am

Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all into my heart
Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in
Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all into my heart

F / C / Em7 / Am
Bring the little fishes
Bring the sharks
Bring 'em from the brightness
Bring 'em from the dark

Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in...

Bring 'em from the caverns
Bring 'em from the heights
Bring 'em from the shadows
Stand them in the light

Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in...

Bring 'em out of purdah
Bring 'em out of store
Bring 'em out of hiding
Lay them at my door?

Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in...

Bring the unforgiven
Bring the unredeemed
Bring the lost, the nameless
Let 'em all be seen
Bring 'em out of exile
Bring 'em out of sleep
Bring 'em to the portal
Lay them at my feet

Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in, Bring 'em all in...





Eddie and the Hobrobs:
Do Anything You Wanna Do


Intro: G / C / Am

D / G / C
Gonna break out of the city
Leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure
is the type of life to find

Am7 / Bbm / C / D
Tried in doin dayjobs
With no thanks for what I do

C / Bbm/ Am7 / G
I´m sure there must be someone
Now I´m gonna find out who.

C / D / G
Why don´t you ask them
what they expect from you
Why don´t you tell them
what you are gonna do

You´ll get so lonely
Make things better that way
It ain´t you only
You got something to say

G / C /  Am
Do anything you wanna do 

Don´t need no politician
to tell me things I shouldn´t be
neither no optician
to tell me what I ought to see

Noone tells you nothing
even when they think you know
But they tell you what you should do
They don´t like to see you through.

MY FRIENDS


D / F / G / C
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide..., 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will

X Girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad

C / A / C / D / A
I love all of you Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too  When you don't know yourself

My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness

CHORUS

E / G / F#m / F / C / B / F
Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give... your love
No matter what

CHORUS

FLAT TOP


Intro: B / A / E
(alt: D / C / G)

F# / G#m / E / B / F# / G#m / E
(alt: A / B / G / D / A / B / D)
Flat top intervention, bringing home the new invention, 
see it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the civics and the saints, 
flip the dial and that's who's side your on
I'm sleeping on the white house lawn ain't never changed a thing
Cause look at all the washed out hippie dreams

B / A / E
(alt: D / C / G)
And it's falling all around us
Is this some kind of joke their trying to pull on us
Falling all around us
I turn my head off for a while

It said my generation's lost, choking on it's fear
Used to be that's all we had to fear
The consience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak
Cause now it's wrapped in blankets on the street
A visionary coward says that anger can be power 
as long as there's a victim on TV

(repeat chorus)

G#m / F# / E / B
(alt: B / A / G / D)
And my dirty dreams are coming alive on my TV screen
An assassination plots, show me what I haven't got
Show me what I love, or who I'm supposed to be
Show me everything I need
Show it all to me (X2)

MR. JONES


Em / C / Am / D
I was down at the New Amsterdam 
staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation 
with the black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She’s suddenly beautiful
Well we all want something beautiful
Now I know I wish I was beautiful

So come dance this silence down through the morning
Shalalalalala yeah oh ho yeah
Call up Maria
Show me some of them Spanish dancers and
Hence me a bottle, Mr. Jones
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything cos 
I wanna to be someone who believes

G / C / D
Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales and we
Stare at the beautiful women
She’s looking at you. Ah, no, no, she’s looking at me.
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

Well I will paint my picture
Paint myself in blue red and black and grey
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
You know greg is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a grey guitar and play

Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
She’s looking at you. I don’t think so. She’s looking at me.
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a grey guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

Em / C / Em / D
I will never be lonely
Some never got to be
Lonely
I wanna be a lion
Yeah, everybody wanna pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars, yeah but 
we got different reasons for that
Believe in me because cos I don’t believe in anything
and I wanna be someone to believe, to believe, yeah

Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
and we stare at the beautiful women
She’s perfect for you, Man, there’s got to be somebody for me.
I wanna be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, oh son, 
that’s just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Jones and me staring at the video
When I look at the television, I wanna see me 
staring right back at me
We all wanna to be big stars, 
but we don’t know why and we don’t know how 
But when everybody loves me, I’m gonna be 
just about as happy as can be

Mr. Jones and me, 
gonna be big stars

Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast,
So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last.
Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand;
The things you think are precious I can't understand.


Gmaj9 / A
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
Gmaj9 / F#m7
Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine


You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen;
In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean.
The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned;
The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.

I've spent a lit of money and I spent a lot of time;
The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind.
After all the things we've done and seen you find another man;
The things you think are useless I can't understand.

"Capo" means: place your capo on that fret and play the chords as you know them (the chords will be shifted as a result of course)

No guarantee that the chords are always right, it's only what I've figured out by myself. I've transposed some songs to other keys for easier singing and playing. The pickings shall only give you a rough idea of how to play. I didn't try to analyze the origiginal players' methods.
