Capo on 4. Standard Tuning.

Intro

Gonna sit here drowning in my beer all night
Thinking ‘bout her and wondering why she’s gone
Drop a few more quarters into that slot
Play every song that’ll tell me what went wrong

‘Cause I don’t want to go back home
Where the memories are still hanging in the hall
Gonna stay right here and numb the pain ‘til I can’t feel at all

This night is gonna be a long one
So I might as well fill up on my lonely
When she said goodbye
She took half my heart
Left me with the hurtin’ part

Livin’ with me it must have been tough
She put up with all my stuff somehow
Well I guess I got what I deserve
What I wouldn’t give to talk to her right now

Tell her how I wish to god she’d change her mind
And come back home to stay
Tell her how I realize I was such a fool
Now I’m wide awake

This night is gonna be a long one
So I might as well fill up on my lonely
When she said goodbye
She took half my heart
Left me with the hurtin’ part

This night is gonna be a long one
So I might as well fill up on my lonely
When she said goodbye she took half my heart
When she said goodbye she took half my heart
Left me with the hurtin’ part

I’m Just saying by Jimmy Rankin

Capo 5

It’s all over now, the rumors are flying,
I’m in love with this girl so much,
That I’m crying.
Like a solar eclipse that I saw one time,
So beautiful that i nearly went blind.

Chorus:
So please show me a sign!
Send it to me high speed by satellite or telephone line
No, rules in this game that we’re playing,
That’s how I know this is love
That’s how I know this is love
Baby I’m just saying!

I love the sound of your voice
When you tell me you miss me,
When the city was sleeping, the way that you kissed me!
Reminds me of a movie that I saw last year,
Two kids fell in love, ran away disappeared

Chorus:
So please show me a sign!
Send it to me high speed by satellite or telephone line
No, rules in this game that we’re playing,
That’s how I know this is love
That’s how I know this is love
Baby I’m just saying!

There’s a rip tide on main street,
the sidewalk’s on fire,
Call me crazy,
call me a liar!

Chorus:
So please show me a sign!
Send it to me high speed by satellite or telephone line
So please show me a sign!
Send it to me high speed by satellite or telephone line
No, rules in this game that we’re playing,
That’s how I know this is love
That’s how I know this is love
That’s how I know this is love
Baby I’m just saying!
Baby I’m just saying!

Intro: A D A7 D X4

Took a stroll down by the ocean

But I couldn’t find them there

So I climbed up where the bluffs are

I didn’t see them anywhere X2

Chorus:
Walkin’ in therain. Walkin’ in the rain.

Walkin’ in the [G—A]rain. Walkin’ in the rain[D-Dsus2-D-Dsus4-D-Dsus2-D].

Walkin’ in the rain. Walkin’ in the [G—-A]rain .

Dog out in the rain (over intro chords)

These days I’m seeking shelter

A place to hide my head

I’m not asking for salvation

But the simple things instead

The summer winds have come and gone

They never mean to stay

All the bonnie birds have flown

On this autumn day X3 I’m a dog out in the rain

Chorus (x2)

‘Twas a brisk autumn day they remember it well
Tripper went strolling along
He was merely a boy his mom’s pride and joy
So sure he could do no wrong
Running down to the river then up by the tracks
Pretending he was Jesse James
With his father’s old hat, a stick for a gun
Tripper walked home in the rain
[ Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmy_rankin/tripper_crd.html ]
Such a glorious sight
Fresh flowers in bloom
In the spring when the ice takes to thaw
But it’s a rough wretched road a man has to go
Living outside of the law
For a dark dirty cell was Tripper’s own hell
Survival was his battle cry
If drinking don’t kill me or a villainous gun
He said I’ll live ‘til I die

Chorus:
Mother dear I’m in trouble here
Far away in the distant West
I’ve laid down on stony ground
I’m not feeling all the best

Cold wind on the river and rain on the road
Every light in the house burning strong
Somebody’s saying a sad rosary
Wondering where Tripper went wrong
‘Cause he met his own maker to a grim undertaker
Took a knife too deep in the lung
In a dim parking lot his very last thoughts
Were the days he went strolling along

Chorus:
Mother dear I’m in trouble here
Far away in the distant West
I’ve laid down on stony ground
I’m not feeling all the best

‘Twas a brisk autumn day they remember it well
Tripper went strolling along

Note: use capo on 4th freet.

Intro: G F G F

Verse:
I’ve been stayin’ out all night with newfound friends
In the end , it’s doin’ no good
Burnin’ up the wick at both ends, take what you can
In the end, you do what you should

Chorus:
I’d trade all of the fine life
everything that I’ve tasted
Just to have you near
Just to have you here
Just to have you oh[-]
Instead I’m wast[-]ed[-][-]

Verse:
I’ve been losin’ valuable time , killin’ the blue
It’s true, I’m useless these days
Trippin’ in and out of my mind, wasted on you
All I can do, It’s all I can say

Chorus

Bridge:
I dream in colours sublime
I’d love to show you yours, if you’d show me mine

Chorus

(Intro)

Verse I
Someone is always breaking down
[D/F#]Packing their clothes
Leaving for good
Or coming back home
Either we’re like strangers
Or the [D/F#]best of friends
Taking all night
Never speaking again

Chorus

Givin’ it up
Lettin’ it [D/F#]go
Holdin’ back
Riskin’ it all
Fallin’ in love
Falling a[D/F#]part
There’s never a dull moment
Here in my heart

Sometimes I think we’re crazy
To be do[D/F#]ing this at all
Going down in circles running into walls
Maybe we’re just used to
[D/F#]livin’ on the edge
We got this far but we are not there yet

Chorus x2

Intro:

I followed her a[F(add9)]round,
I was quite naive.
Holes in my [F(add9)]soul,
I wore my heart upon my sleeve.
Down that winding country road,
Despite the stories I’d been told.
Now I don’t go into town,
Since I followed her around.

I stood and watched in disbe[F(add9)]lief,
From the shadows of my grief.
She wore lipstick black as [F(add9)]coal,
And her boots up to her knees.
How could I even speak my mind,
All the boys were making time.
I bowed my head without a sound,
Since I followed her around.

Everybody’s got a hunger,
And a seed they gotta sow.
I should have listened to my mother,
When she cried ‘no, child no.
Son get your feet back on the ground,
Don’t go follow her around’.

I watched her from a[F(add9)]far,
That pretty flower in mid bloom.
Oh how that girl could work a [F(add9)]bar,
As she waltzed around the room.
I couldn’t take it anymore,
Tried to get her out the door.
One more time she shot me down,
Since I followed her around.

Everybody’s got a hunger,
And a seed they gotta sow.
I should have listened to my mother,
When she cried ‘no, child no.
Son get your feet back on the ground,
Don’t go follow her around’.

Now I’m old and [F(add9)]wise,
Still got that sparkle in my eyes.
All my kids have come and [F(add9)]gone,
All except my youngest son.
It was just the other day,
I swore I heard him say:
Dad I’m heading in to town…
I think he follows her around.
Dad I’m heading in to town…
I think he follows her around.
Dad I’m rolling in to town…
I think he follows her around.

Verse:
Over the walls I hear laughter
Under the light of a devilish moon
Down the hall somebody’s creepin’
Singing an old familiar tune
Still I wait without a sound
On this train that’s morning bound
Oh, Oh, Ohhh,

Chorus:
I can’t sleep at night
Climbing the walls to the beat of the rain
I go through dark to see daylight
On this morning bound train

Verse:
In the jungle it’s the same thing
Feel the noise rise up like rage
I drift around inside a day dream
See the lion pace the cage
Still he waits without a sound
On this train that’s morning bound
Oh, Oh, Ohhh,

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jimmy_rankin/morning_bound_train_crd_ver_3.html )
Chorus:
I can’t sleep at night
Climbing the walls to the beat of the rain
I go through dark to see daylight
On this morning bound train

Interlude: (intro) in C#m

Verse:
Could it be I’m only restless
The wild inside will not be tamed
Could it be I’m only love sick
What’s ailing me cannot be named
Still I wait without a sound
On this train that’s morning bound
Oh, Oh, Ohhh,

Chorus:
I can’t sleep at night
Climbing the walls to the beat of the rain
I go through dark to see daylight
On this morning bound train

Outro Chorus:
I can’t sleep at night
Climbing the walls to the beat of the rain
I go through dark to see daylight
On this morning bound train
On this morning bound…….
train
Wooo Hoooo….
Wooo Hoooo….

Took a walk in the midnight hour,
By the dock and the church bell tower.
I felt the night burst open wide,
Midnight angel by my side.
Past young lovers on the street,
Holding hands, shuffling feet.
Makes one wonder where love goes,
Midnight angel only knows.

Midnight angel meet me down
By the water’s edge in a harbour town.
I’ll bring the lock, you bring the key,
Midnight angel come for me.

Up above, the sea birds fly,
Shimmering white in a wintery sky.
How I love to watch them so,
Don’t seem to dream much anymore.

Verse:
If the waves roll rough as in days before
Still we put our boats to sea
The take has been tough, we’re counting on more
To make the season pay

Verse:
It was back in ’83 my brothers and me
laid our poor father in his grave
Even though he’s dead and gone, his voice lives on
In the hiss and pull of the waves

Chorus:
We’ll carry on, carry on
sing these words through all the damage done
The old salt would say, I my father’s son
Come hell or high water
We’ll carry on,

Verse:
In smokey gray rooms, beneath bare lightbulbs,
The accusations fly
What the hell do they want, they’ve taken enough
From this way of life once mine

Chorus
[C/BC] [C/B] [C/B]
Verse:
It’s a merciless scheme, not a fisherman’s dream
The way the tide has turned
For not long before, by these restless shores
A man could his living earn

Chorus

Ending:
Hell or high water
Hell or high water
Hell or high water
we’ll carry[C/B]
