album: Within A Mile From Home

nice easy song by a great band

Your passin’ broke the silence
On that dark October day
The sun was headin’ for the west
As it did I heard you say

I set my sail for a gentle breeze
Now I leave this world as it was meant to be

And you, did you listen to anything I said?
Did you ever listen to me?

etc.

(2:11)

Salty Dog
I’ll wait for you till I turn blue
There’s nothin’ more a man can do
Don’t get your bollocks in a twist
Settle down, don’t take a fit
Ya drank with demons straight from Hell
They almost nearly won as well
Ya wiped the floor with victory
Then puked until you fell asleep

play same chords
Blackened was the banshee’s wail
These boots will never fill her jail
So you crawled into an empty boat
For the Gulf of Mexico
Till Cortez came an’ when so did you
From the ashes charred and blue
Smellin’ like a Salty Dog
Back from Hell where you belong

Anarchy, the scourge of every sea
The Antichrist aboard a rig
With us your cutthroat thieves
The ship went down we all near drowned
Ya stood there on the deck
Till the Spanish came and flogged yer arse
And dragged you from the wreck

same chords as other verse
They threw a rope around yer neck
To watch you dance the jig of death
Then left ya for the starvin’ crows
Hoverin’ like hungry whores
One flew down plucked out yer eye
The other he had in his sights
Ya snarled at him, said leave me be
I need the bugger so I can see

then keep the verse chords goung untill the end

Intro: Hit an open G on the upbeat.

C C F C F C G G 2x

Whistles the wind
Blowin’ my way
Sweepin’ me back, back here to stay
Can winners be losers?
Runnin’ on the same track
While some head for glory, others we crash

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life where’s it gone
And somebody told me you were doin’ okay
But somehow I guess they were wrong

My isolation
Now there’s a sobering thought
A minute alone, a lifetime too long
See the face in this mirror
So pale it could crack
Desperately wantin’ the color it lacks

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life where’s it gone
And somebody told me you were doin’ okay
But somehow I guess they were wrong

So you drank with the lost souls
For too many years
Tied to their ankles now crippled with fear
Never been righteous though seldom were wrong
Life’s only life with you in this song

Am C F G 2x

Now there’s an ocean between
Where I am and where I want to be
So you prayers in doubt
Doubt not for me

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life where’s it gone
And somebody told me you were doin’ okay
But somehow I guess they were wrong

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life where’s it gone
And somebody told me you were doin’ okay
But somehow I guess they were wrong

Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind

Though you’ll find your way out
But there’s no goin’ now
Every woman and child
Drags you down for the dive
It’s not safe being free
Can’t give back what you feel
He said you’ll always be in heaven with me
