(C)All of the drunks
Dressed (Fmaj7)up like (C)Santa Claus
Ring Salvation (G)Army (C)bells
But the town square is quiet
The (Fmaj7)juke joints are (C)empty
Everyones buying
What (G)no one can (C)sell

[(C)(Fmaj7)(C)(G)(C)]
And the (Am)girl I (Fmaj7)loved once
(C)Came to me last night
In a dream with a secret to (G)tell
She (C)whispered close
Cant you (Fmaj7)hear the (C)ocean?
As she leaned her ear
Against a (G)shotgun (C)shell

CHORUS
(Fmaj7)Dark was the night
Cold was the ground
I could (C)barely make out the (Fmaj7)song
Of the (C)Ghost Repeaters
Singing (Fmaj7)Halle(C)lujah
His truth is (G)marching (C)on

[(C)(Fmaj7)(C)(G)(C)]
(C)Willie Maes crying
At the (Fmaj7)toll booth to (C)heaven
With a bottle of gin
And a (G)gold-toothed (C)smile
Where the dreams pile up
All (Fmaj7)washed out and (C)broken
As thick as the stars
On the (G)Miracle (C)Mile

[(C)(Fmaj7)(C)(G)(C)]
But the (Am)movie is (Fmaj7)over
The (C)theater is empty
The credits are starting to (G)roll
And the (C)wages of sin

Its a buyers market
When you (G)sell your (C)soul

CHORUS

(C)The plaza is dark
The (Fmaj7)picadors are (C)dreaming
Of blood in the alleys
And (G)rust on the (C)vines
They sandbag the bulls
And (Fmaj7)prop up the (C)matadors
Its a sweetheart contract
Theyre (G)taking their (C)time

[(C)(Fmaj7)(C)(G)(C)]
And (Am)all the ghost (Fmaj7)prisoners
Who (C)aren’t in the ghost prisons
Dont weep at the sound
Of your (G)name
They just (C)stare at the clouds
Of (Fmaj7)passenger (C)pigeons
Winging back home
To the (G)cities of the (C)plain

CHORUS

(C)The star up above
The 5th (Fmaj7)Avenue (C)Christmas tree
Is shining tonight
Through the (G)cold and the (C)rain
To light all the faces
In the (Fmaj7)live na(C)tivity
Down on the floor
Of the (G)stock ex(C)change

(Fmaj7)Dark is the night
Cold is the ground
The (C)armies march out to de(Fmaj7)fend
And the (C)Ghost Repeaters
Of the (Fmaj7)reve(C)lators
Are singing “Peace on Earth
And Good (G)Will to all (C)Men”

Intro: F# C# B

Just about a year ago I set out on the road
Seekin’ my fame and fortune And looking for a pot of gold
Things got bad, Things got worse I Guess you know the tune
Oh lord, stuck in Lodi again

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jeffrey_foucault/lodi_crd.html )
The man from the magazine Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connection Ran out of songs to play
Came into town on a one night stand Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

And I rode in on a grey hound I’ll be walking out if I go
I was just passing through Must be seven months or more
Ran out of time and money Looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar For every song I sung
And everytime I had to play While people sat there drunk
You know I’d catch the next train Back to where I live
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Intro: C

Verse 1 chords:
Northbound 35, through the iron hills
Under infidel skies
It’s two hundred miles to drive, you won’t be home
I saw an elsebound train On the overpass
In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can’t go

Chorus 1 chords:
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It’s the price of living motion
What’s beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall

Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
So I rolled into your town, I passed the smokestacks
And the ore docks down off of Main and the sky spun around
With her diamonds on fire
We fought all night and then we danced, in your kitchen
You were as much in my hands as water or darkness or nothing
Can ever be held

Chorus 2: (use chorus 1 chords)
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It’s the price of living motion
What’s beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall

Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
It’s just flashes that we own, little (Am)snapshots
Made of breath and of bone
And out on the darkling plain alone
They light up the sky
It’s 51 and driving south, ain’t it funny how things’ll turn out
I never even kissed you on the mouth when we said goodbye

Chorus 3: (use chorus 1 chords)
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It’s the price of living motion
What’s beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall

Verse 1 chords:
I tumbled out of Gateshead, it was a lazy afternoon
I put the pedal down for southbound, beneath an early rising moon
And I ended up in Durham, standing underneath the rain
Sometimes the whole world is a city, where no one knows your name

[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jeffrey_foucault/one_part_love_crd.html ]
Pre-chorus 1 chords:
There was a gypsy selling papers she sounded like a mourning dove
Calling soft and sad and quiet, one part grief and one part love

Chorus 1 chords:
One part love, one part love
One part love

Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
It was a late night in Newcastle and I made myself a friend
We traded cab fare from the hotel across the Tyne and back again
And we stood each other beers out of the money from the show
And then we talked about the job and indie bands and bars back home

Pre-chorus 2: [use pre-chorus 1 chords]
And with the hotel windows open I slept and woke and slept again
And I dreamed they burned a city with a suitcase and a grin

Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
And so I stood in Durham City beneath the castle and the keep
And I heard a gypsy woman selling, like one part love and one part grief

Pre-chorus 3: [use pre-chorus 1 chords]
And my dream came to me waking, on the cobbles in the rain
Maybe nothing is forever, nothing is in vain

One part love, one part love
One part love

Outro: [-] [-] [-]

The snow falls on the passes

And it covers up the rails
And the hired men ride up to make them clean
It’s a winter camp and a frozen damp

And a shovel in your hand
And a coal train comes rumbling through the seam

That morning came up shining
Clear and sharp as broken glass
We were riding for the tracks at Sugaree
All holler and high spirit
And the devil take the last
And Henry lay a wager then to me

He said “I’ve got five dollars
And a whiskey at the bar
Says I make the tracks ahead of you”
So we touched our horses up
Sent them running down the hill
And I did something I never meant to do
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jeffrey_foucault/doubletree_crd.html )
Well I cut hard behind him
From his blind side I come around
Just as we were going down the scree
I only meant to scare him but he tumbled to the ground
And he broke his neck beneath the doubletree

So you take him cut him out in a length of pine
Lay him out in a suit of clothes
Best that you can find
Lay his body gentle in the ground
And say a prayer for Henry
Before you lay him down

The night before poor Henry died
We slept on open ground
The circus of the stars a blaze of white
Henry was the best friend that I ever had
And I slept still as a child that night
