Another Travelin Song
Intro
SI MI
i'm changin all my strings i'm gonna write another travelin' song
SI FA#about all the million highways and the cities at the break of dawn
i guess the best that i can do now is pretend that i done nothin wrong
FA# MI SIand to dream about a train thats gonna take back where i belong
SI MIThe ocean speaks and spits and I can feel it from the interstate.
and I'm screaming my brother on a cell phone, he is far away.
SI MII'm saying nothing in the past or the future ever will feel like today.
FA# MI SII tell him park it in the alley and just hoping that our shit is safe.
MI SI
So I go back and forth forever
All my thoughts they come in pairs
MI FA#Oh, I will, I won't, I doubt, I don't
DO#m MI FA# SII'm not surprised, and I never feel quite prepared
Now I'm hunched over a typewriter, I guess you'd call it painting in a cave.
And there's a word I can't remember and a feeling I cannot forsake.
And now my ashtray's overflowing, I'm still staring at a clean, white page.
FA# MI SIThe morning's at my window and she's sending me to bed again.
SI MIWell I dreamed of dark on the horizon, I dreamed of desert where the dead lay down.
I dreamed a prostituted child touching an old man in a fast food crowd.
SI MIOh yeah I dreamt the ship was sinking there were people screaming all around
FA# MI SIand I awoke to my alarm clock, it was a pop song, it was playing loud.
MI SI
So I will find my fears and face them,
Or I will cower like a dog.
MI FA#I'll kick and scream or kneel in glee,
DO# MI FA# SII'll fight like hell to hide that I'm giving up!

Landlock Blues
Capo 3
If you walk away, I'll walk away
DO SOL DOFirst tell me which road you will take
LAm SOL DO LAmI don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way
DO SOL DOAnd the future hangs over our heads
DO SOL DOAnd it moves with each current event
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
DO SOL DOJust stay in when it's looking this way
DO SOL DOAnd the moon's laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
LAm SOL DO LAmAnd the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
DO SOL DOThey argue walk this way, now walk this way
And Laura's asleep in my bed
DO SOL DOAs I'm leaving she wakes up and says
LAm SOL DO LAm"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
Baby don't go away, come here"
DO SOL DOAnd there's kids playing guns in the street
DO SOL DOAnd ones pointing his tree branch at me
So I put my hands up I say "enough is enough,
DO SOL DOIf you walk away, I'll walk away"
And he shot me dead
LAm SOL DO
I found a liquid cure
From my landlocked blues
FA SOL DO LAmIt'll pass away like a slow parade
DO SOL DOIt's leaving but I don't know how soon
DO SOL DO DO SOL DO LAm SOL DO LAm DO SOL DO
And the world's got me dizzy again
DO SOL DOYou think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
LAm SOL DO LAmAnd it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I'm always pacing around or walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
If you love something, give it away
A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
But don't walk away, don't walk away
We made love on the living room floor
With the noise in background of a televised war
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"
But greed is a bottomless pit
And our freedom's a joke
We're just taking a piss
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
If you're still free start running away
Cause we're coming for you!
I've grown tired of holding this post
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
So I'm making a deal with the devils of faith
Saying "let me walk away, please"
You'll be free child once you have died
From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
And then we can trade places, play musical grace
Till then walk away, walk away
LAm SOL DO
So I'm up at dawn
LAm SOL DOPutting on my shoes
I just want to make a clean escape
DO SOL DOI'm leaving but I don't know where to
DO SOL DOI know I'm leaving but I don't know where to

The sun came up with no conclusion
It's flowers sleeping in their beds
The cities cometary's humming
I'm wide-awake, it's morning
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents have they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses
MIm LAm
I read the body count out of the paper
And now it's written all over my face
MIm LAmNo one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter
FA SOL DOSometimes that's just the most comfortable place
So I'm drinking, breathing, writing, singing Everyday up on the clock
My mind races with all my longings But cant keep up with what I got
I hope I don't sound too ungrateful What history gave modern man
The telephone to talk to strangers Machine guns and the camera lens
MIm LAm
So when you're asked to fight a war that's over nothing
It's best to join the side that's gonna win
MIm LAmAnd no one's sure how all of this got started
FA SOL DOBut we're gonna make them goddam certain how its gonna end
Oh ya we will, oh ya we will!
Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else's voice
But failure's always sounded better C C C C
Lets fuck it up boys, make some noise!

Looking for something to open my
..eyes
Well we still sing glory from a
MI..highrise
REAnd I will say thanks if you're
..pouring my drinks
LA MIWhile the world waits for an
..explosion
REThat moment in time when we are
LA..set free
FA# MI
So don't stay mad
Just let some time pass
DO# FA# SI MIAnd in the morning you'll wake
..feeling new
FA# MIAnd if I don't come back
FA# MII mean, if I get sidetracked
It's only 'cause I wanted to

First Day of my Life
Intro
C E Am F G C x2(Pick)
DO MI LAm
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the
..doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly
LAm..everything changed
RE7(000212)They're spreading blankets on the
..beach
DO MIYours is the first face that I saw
LAm
Think I was blind before I met you
DO MIDon't know where I am, don't know
LAm..where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
FA SOLThat these things take forever
DO DO/SI LAmI especially am slow
But I realized how I need you and
DO..I wondered if I could come home
C G Am D2(003230) F2(006560)
..F?(006568)
DO MI
I remember the time you drove all
LAm..night
Just to meet me in the morning
DO MII thought it was strange, you said
LAm..everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
DO MIAnd you said, "This is the first
LAm..day of my life.
I'm glad I didn't die before I met
..you.
Now I don't care, I could go
LAm..anywhere with you,
RE7 SOLAnd I'd probably be happy."
DO SOL LAm
So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no
..telling
We'll just have to wait and see
RE2But I'd rather be working for a
..paycheck than waiting to win the
..lottery
Besides, maybe this time its
..different, I mean I really think
DO..you like me

Another Travelin Song
i'm changin all my strings i'm
..gonna write another travelin'
MI..song
about all the million highways and
..the cities at the break of dawn
FA#
i guess the best that i can do now
..is pretend that i done nothin
MI..wrong
and to dream about a train thats
MI..gonna take back where i belong
SI
The ocean speaks and spits and I
..can feel it from the interstate.
MI
and I'm screaming my brother on a
..cell phone, he is far away.
FA#
I'm saying nothing in the past or
..the future ever will feel like
MI..today.
I tell him park it in the alley
MI..and just hoping that our shit is
SI..safe.
MI
So I go back and forth forever
MI
All my thoughts they come in pairs
SI
Oh, I will, I won't, I doubt, I
FA#..don't
DO#mI'm not surprised, and I never
..feel quite prepared
SI
Now I'm hunched over a typewriter,
..I guess you'd call it painting
..in a cave.
And there's a word I can't
..remember and a feeling I cannot
..forsake.
And now my ashtray's overflowing,
..I'm still staring at a clean,
..white page.
The morning's at my window and
..she's sending me to bed again.
MI SI
Well I dreamed of dark on the
..horizon, I dreamed of desert
MI..where the dead lay down.
I dreamed a prostituted child
..touching an old man in a fast
FA#..food crowd.
Oh yeah I dreamt the ship was
..sinking there were people
MI..screaming all around
and I awoke to my alarm clock, it
MI..was a pop song, it was playing
SI..loud.
MI
So I will find my fears and face
..them,
MI SIOr I will cower like a dog.
MII'll kick and scream or kneel in
..glee,
DO#I'll fight like hell to hide that
MI FA#..I'm giving up!
Landlock Blues
Capo 3
DO SOL DO
If you walk away, I'll walk away
DO SOLFirst tell me which road you will
..take
LAm SOLI don't want to risk our paths
DO LAm..crossing some day
So you walk that way, I'll walk
DO..this way
DO SOL DOAnd the future hangs over our
..heads
DO SOLAnd it moves with each current
..event
LAm SOLUntil it falls all around like a
DO LAm..cold steady rain
Just stay in when it's looking
DO..this way
DO SOLAnd the moon's laying low in the
..sky
DO SOLForcing everything metal to shine
DO
And the sidewalk holds diamonds
DO LAm..like the jewelry store case
DO SOLThey argue walk this way, now walk
..this way
DO SOL DOAnd Laura's asleep in my bed
DO SOLAs I'm leaving she wakes up and
..says
LAm SOL"I dreamed you were carried away
DO LAm..on the crest of a wave
Baby don't go away, come here"
DODO SOL
And there's kids playing guns in
..the street
DO SOLAnd ones pointing his tree branch
DO..at me
So I put my hands up I say "enough
DO LAm..is enough,
DO SOLIf you walk away, I'll walk away"
And he shot me dead
LAm SOL DO
I found a liquid cure
LAm SOL DOFrom my landlocked blues
It'll pass away like a slow parade
LAmDO SOL
It's leaving but I don't know how
..soon
DO SOL
And the world's got me dizzy again
DO
You think after 22 years I'd be
SOL DO..used to the spin
LAm SOLAnd it only feels worse when I
..stay in one place
DOSo I'm always pacing around or
SOL DO..walking away
I keep drinking the ink from my
..pen
And I'm balancing history books up
..on my head
But it all boils down to one
..quotable phrase
If you love something, give it
..away
A good woman will pick you apart
A box full of suggestions for your
..possible heart
But you may be offended and you
..may be afraid
But don't walk away, don't walk
..away
We made love on the living room
..floor
With the noise in background of a
..televised war
And in the deafening pleasure I
..thought I heard someone say
"If we walk away, they'll walk
..away"
But greed is a bottomless pit
And our freedom's a joke
We're just taking a piss
And the whole world must watch the
..sad comic display
If you're still free start running
..away
Cause we're coming for you!
DO SOL DO DO SOL DO LAm SOL DO LAm DO SOL DO
I've grown tired of holding this
..post
I feel more like a stranger each
..time I come home
So I'm making a deal with the
..devils of faith
Saying "let me walk away, please"
You'll be free child once you have
..died
From the shackles of language and
..immeasurable time
And then we can trade places, play
..musical grace
Till then walk away, walk away
LAm SOL DO
So I'm up at dawn
Putting on my shoes
FA SOL DOI just want to make a clean escape
LAm
I'm leaving but I don't know where
DO..to
DO SOLI know I'm leaving but I don't
..know where to

The sun came up with no conclusion
It's flowers sleeping in their
..beds
The cities cometary's humming
I'm wide-awake, it's morning
I have my drugs, I have my woman
They keep away my loneliness
My parents have they have their
..religion
But sleep in separate houses
I read the body count out of the
LAm..paper
FA SOLAnd now it's written all over my
..face
MImNo one ever plans to sleep out in
LAm..the gutter
Sometimes that's just the most
SOL..comfortable place
DO
So I'm drinking, breathing,
..writing, singing Everyday up on
..the clock
My mind races with all my longings
..But cant keep up with what I got
I hope I don't sound too
..ungrateful What history gave
..modern man
The telephone to talk to strangers
..Machine guns and the camera lens
MIm
So when you're asked to fight a
..war that's over nothing
LAmFA SOL
It's best to join the side that's
..gonna win
MImAnd no one's sure how all of this
LAm..got started
But we're gonna make them goddam
SOL..certain how its gonna end
DO
Oh ya we will, oh ya we will!
Well I could have been a famous
..singer
If I had someone else's voice
But failure's always sounded
..better C C C C
Lets fuck it up boys, make some
..noise!
The sun came up with no conclusion
It's flowers sleeping in their
..beds
The cities cometary's humming
I'm wide-awake, it's morning
