"TRY NOT TO BREATHE"

Intro

(12/8 time: / = an eighth note)

I will try not to breathe,

I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees

These eyes are the eyes of the old,

shiver in the cold

I will try not to breathe,

This decision is mine I have lived a full life

and these are the eyes that I want you to remember

Oh

I need something to fly over my grave again

I need something to breathe

I will try not to burden, I can hold these inside

I will hold my breath until all these shivers subside

Just look in my eyes

I will try not to worry you, I have seen things that you will never see

Leave it to memory me, shudder to breathe

I want you to remember

I need something to fly (something to fly)

Over my grave again (you will never see)

I need something to breathe (something to breathe)

Baby Don't shiver now,

Why do you shiver now (I will see things you will never see)

I need something to fly (something to fly)

Over my grave again (I will see things you will never see)

I need something to breathe

Bridge

Em (One Bar)

I will try not to worry you, I have seen things that you will never see

Leave it to memory me, don't dare me to breath

I want you to remember

I need something to fly (something to fly)

Over my grave again (you will never see)

I need something to breathe (something to breathe)

Baby Don't shiver now,

Why do you shiver now (I will see things you will never see)

I need something to breathe

I want you to remember (I have seen things you will never see)

"THE SIDEWINDER SLEEPS TONIGHT"

(intro)

The transition to the verses:

This here is the place where I will stay in

There isn't a number, you can call the pay phone

Let it ring a long long long long time

If I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more, Ohhhhhhh...

If I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

C Em

Ohhhh.....

There are scratches all around the coin slot

Like a heart beat baby trying to wake up

But this machine can only swallow money

you can't lay a patch by computer design

Just a lot of stupid, stupid signs

Tell her

Tell her she can kiss my ass and laugh and say that you were only kidding

That way she'll know that it was really, really, really, really me me

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab me

Today I need something more sub, stop, sub, sub, substantial

A can of beans or black eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice

Candy bar, a fallen star, or a reading from Doctor Suess

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Bridge

(*During the bridge, Am and Bm are played as A barres, and the picking

pattern is like this:

The C below is picked in the same pattern, i.e. A str, D str, e str, B str*)

The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the way.

Always had a smile, never reason to pretend,

Their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dream

The sidewinder sleeps on his back

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

Call when you try to wake her up, call when you try to wake her

You got a boogie woogie groove on this one

"EVERYBODY HURTS"

Intro

When your day is long and the night, the night is yours alone

When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go, cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong, now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)

If you feel like letting go (hold on)

If you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

Cause everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends

Everybody hurts, don't throw your hands, oh now, don't throw your hands

If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you're not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long

When you think you've had too much, with this life, to hang on

Well everybody hurts, sometimes

Everybody cries, and everybody hurts, sometimes

But everybody hurts sometimes so hold on, hold on, hold on,

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,

Everybody hurts

You are not alone

"SWEETNESS FOLLOWS"

Intro

Readying to bury your father and your mother

What did you think when you lost another

I used to wonder why did you bother

Distance from one, one to the other

Listen here my sister and my brother

What would you care if you lost the other

I always wondered why did we bother

Distance from one, one to the other

Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

It's these little things, they can pull you under

Live your life filled with joy and wonder

I always knew this all together with thunder

It's lost to now or never lives

Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

It's these little things, they can pull you under

Live your life filled with joy and thunder

Yea, yea we were all together

Lost to now or never lives

Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

Oh, oh, oh sweetness follows

"MONTY GOT A RAW DEAL"

Intro

Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing

But nonsense has a welcome ring and heros don't come easy

Now nonsense isn't new to me, I know my head I know my feet

But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go

I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand

A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by

So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree

A woman out there said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue

you Don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]

Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] for the silver screen

That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting

But virtue isn't everything so don't waste time

Now Here's a rhyme that you must hear, put this on your reel to reel

Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, he is laying low

Just let go, just let go

you Don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]

Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] Monty this seems strange to me

"STAR ME KITTEN"

Humans cutting through for the icy ???

Nothing's free but guarantee for a lifetime's lease

I've changed the locks

And you canNOT have one

You, you know the other channel

The brakes have worn so thin that you could hear

I hear them screeching through the door

from our driveway

Hey love, look into your parlor, honest heart

letters there from you, been signed, this love, desire

I've changed the locks,

now at this gesture (question?)

?? ??

Have we lost our minds?

?? ??

Will this never end?

It could depend on your take

You, me, we used to be on fire

If keys are all that stand between

Can I throw in the ring our gasoline

Just fuck me kitten

You are wild, and I am your possession

Nothing's free,

so fuck me kitten

I'm in your possession

so fuck me kitten

"NIGHTSWIMMING"

Intro....

(note)->

(note)->

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night...

(note)->

(note)->

(over and over again for the whole song... the two lines above are played

for each line)

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago

Turn around backwards so the windshield shows

Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse

Still It's so much clearer

I forgot my shirt at the water's edge

The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

i'm not sure all these people understand

It's not like years ago

The fear of getting caught

The recklessness in water

They cannot see me naked

These things they go away

Replaced by every day

Nightswimming remembering that night

September's coming soon

i'm pining for the moon

and what if there were two

Side by side in orbit

Around the fairest sun

A bright type could never drawn

could not describe, Nightswimming

You I thought I knew you, you I cannot judge,

you I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly, underneath my breath

Nightswimming

The photograph reflects every streetlight a reminder

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night

"FIND THE RIVER"

Intro riff

Hey now little speedy head the read on the speedometer says

you have to go the task in the city

Where people drown and people serve

Don't be shy, your just deserve is only just light years to go

Me my thoughts are flowers strewn, an ocean storm may bury them

I have got to leave to find my way

Watch the road and memorize this life that passed before my eyes

and nothing is going my way

The ocean is the river's goal, the need to leave the water knows

We're closer now, but light years to go

I have got to find the river, Bergamot and bed of rose

Run through my head and far away

Leave the road and memorize this life that passed before my eyes

and nothing is going my way

REPEAT INTRO RIFF

There's no one left to take the lead, but I'll tell you and you can see

We're closer now and light years to go

Pick up here and chase the ride, river empties to the tide

Fall into the ocean

River to the ocean goes a fortune for the undertow

None of this is going my way

There is nothing left to grow but ginger, mint, and indigo

Coriander stem and rows of hay

Strength and courage overrides, these privileged and weary eye

River poets search naivete

Pick up here and chase the ride, the river empties to the tide

All of this is coming your way

REPEAT INTRO RIFF

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen) [B-Side to "Drive"]

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

For trying to change the system from within

I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby

I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

But you see that line there moving through the station

I told you I told you I told you I was one of those

You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win

You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline

How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business, mister

I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

I don't like what happened to your sister

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)

And I thank you for those items that you sent me

The monkey end the plywood violin

I practiced every night and now I'm ready

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Remember me, I used to live for music

Remember me, I brought your groceries in

It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

"Arms Of Love" (Robin Hitchcock) [B-Side to "Man on the Moon"]

I've tried to lay out the rythym as graphically as possible.

( = down, ^ = up)

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

(intro, same as first sung line)

Maybe tonight you're achin'

For someone you're dreamin' of

Tomorrow you'll be wakin Into the

Arms, into the arms of Love

(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.)

Maybe tonight you're cryin

Like a poor wounded dove

Tell me you'll soon be flying

Into the Arms, into the arms of love

Maybe tonight you're takin

You couldn't get enough

Honey you'll soon be wakin'

Into the Arms, into the arms of Love

[Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung

verse.]

Maybe the world is falling

It wasn't strong enough

Tell me you'll soon be crawling

Into the Arms, into the arms of Love

"FRETLESS"

He's got his work, and she comes easy

They each come around when the other is gone

Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between

I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son,

The dye has been cast, the battle is won

The bullets were blanks, a double locked gun

I couldn't admit to a minute of fun.

And they come and they come and they come

I accept it with a gentle tongue

No words spoken, no ? kept

Take it, stomp twice, ring bell

Tether that ringing, freeze

Enough with the rifle and talk already

We all know what it means

Take this conversation to your great divide

I can only swallow what I ate,

And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her.

And they come and they come and they come

I accept it with a gentle tongue

No heart broken, no ? kept

Don't talk to me about being alone

Don't talk to me about being alone

Don't talk to me about being alone

Reach for each other before you leave

Reach peace, P----

Don't threaten me with a gentle tease,

Don't threaten me with angry

Please please please don't try to tell me what I am

And they come and they come and they come

I accept it with a gentle tongue

No words spoken, no ? except

Don't talk to me about being alone

Don't talk to me about being alone

Don't talk to me about being alone....

Ends on Em.

"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" (B-Side to "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight")

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight.

In the village, the peaceful village, the people sleep tonight.

Aweem away, aweem away, aweem away, aweem away, aweem away, aweem away,

aweem away, aweem away
