Sometimes they ask me if I’m really happy now
I say, sure, I never loved her any-how
But in-side I long for you and the way it used to be
I look a-round and there’s a heartache following me

I always say that I’m really glad you’re gone
I even act like I never cared at all
But your memory lingers on and I’m never really free
I look a-round and there’s a heartache following me

I pawned my ring and every-thing that tied me to the past
I say I never loved her, never meant for it to last
But I know it’s just a game and the loser’s always me
I look a-round and there’s a heartache following me

#
#THE SEA REFUSES NO RIVER
#VERSE I
#
#I remember being richer than a king
[F(A]The minutes of the day were golden
[F(A]I recall that when the joint passed ‘round
[F(A]My body felt a little colder
Now I’m like a sewer channel
[F(Eb] [F(Eb] Running lime and scag
[F(Eb] [F(Eb] Let me get at the master panel
[F(Eb] [F(Eb] Let me at my stack
CHORUS I
The Sea refuses no river
And right now this river’s banks are blown
[C(add] The Sea refuses no river
[C(G] Whether stinking and rank
Or red from the tank
Whether pure as a spring
There’s no damn thing stops this poem
The Sea refuses no river
[F(C] And this river is homeward flowing
C(no 3rd) (repeat INTRO pattern)
Kenny, as far as those ‘F(Eb)’ chords go, I find that they’re easiest
to play
by keeping your first finger on ‘A’ string, fret 6, and the little
finger as a
bar across strings ‘B’, ‘G’ & ‘D’, fret 10. Bit of a stretch, but . .
.
I have seen a trace of strain, in others eyes not spoken.
I must admit that I enjoyed their pain, but this time it’s me that’s
broken.
I demand for you and his, thus must be the time, when we decide what
frredom is,
turn water into wine.
The sea refuses no river..
we’re polluted now, but in our hearts still clean,
The sea refuses no river
We tried not to age, but time had its rage,
We’re washed over stones, from babes into clones of the mean,
The sea refuses no river,
Won’t deny this sulphorous stream.
There was a fool in a dressing robe, riding out the twilight hour,
Lonely and cold in an empty home, trying to assess his power,
But now he’s like a stream in flood, swollen by the storm.
He doesn’t care if he sheds his blood, let him be reborn!
The sea refuses no river, remember that when a beggar buys a round,
The sea refuses no river, when rain fills the gutters, no time for
stutters,
This is our chance to sing and to dance and to clown.
The sea refuses no river, and rivers were spring to drown.
The sea refuses no river, no pecking code respected for the damned.
The sea refuses no river, whether starving and ill,
Or strung on some pill, just cuz you own the land, there’s no unique
Hand that plugs the damn.
The sea refuses no river, and the river is where I am..
The river is where I am

Hiding Out (1985)
(Pete Townshend)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capo 1st fret

INTRO
| D | G | D | G |

Lead to darkness, leading home
In the midnight of a soul’s unsleeping
Hear the waterfall of women weeping
Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling
Hear the prostituted children calling (calling out)

A D A(?) G
Of a winter’s night, without a moon
I am safe – hidden here (I am safe – hidden here)
| D | G | D | G | D | G |
Hiding out

I look over chequered fields
And the towering web of steel
Young and old will sit and judge unfeeling
While the empty churches’ bells are pealing
And the green hills lay ignored, untended
The lonely watchers remain unbefriended

And out in the one-way streets
A D A(?) G
Is a swelling maze, without a door
I am safe – hidden here (I am safe – hidden here)
| D | G |
I am safe – hidden here
I am safe – hidden here, I am safe
I am safe – hidden here
I am safe – hidden here
I am safe – hidden here

Face the Face | guitar crd
By Pete Townshend
Written by Pete Townshend (c)1985 Eel Pie Publishing Ltd.

Face the face-got to face the face
Face the face-got to face the face

You must have heard the cautionary tales
The dangers hidden on the cul-de-sac trails
And the ghosts of failures sprayed up on the wall

We’ve got to judge the judge, we’ve got to find the finds
We’ve got to scheme the schemes, we’ve got to line the lines
We must stake the stakes, we’ve got to show the shown
We’ve got to take the takes, we’ve got to know the known

Try to place the place where we can face the face
(We’ve got to face the face)
Try to place the place where we can face the face

You must have tried and defied belief
Maybe found futility in insular grief
I need your hunger, you need mine
A million miles can swallow up time

We’ve got to fool the fools, we’ve got to plan the plans
We’ve got to rule the rules, we’ve got to stand the stands
We’ve got to fight the fight, we must fall the falls
We’ve got to light the light, we’ve gotta call the calls

We must race the race so we can face the face
(We’ve got to race the race)
We must race the race so we can face the face

Keep lookin’….
New York! Chicago! London and Glasgow!
Keep looking!

Keep on cooking, keep on looking, gotta stay on this case
Study the pix, watch the fix, we’ve got to find the face

(Watch the flicks)

Try to place the place where we can face the face (2x)
We must race the race so we can face the face (4x)

VERSE I:
They say that love often passes in a second, and
[G(D)]You can never catch it up[A(D)], so I’m
[G(D)]Hanging on to you as th[A(D)]ough eternity beckoned, but it’s
Clear that the match is rough
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I’m
[A7(sus4)]After a piece of that diamond in you, So
[A7(sus4)]Keep an eye open, My
Spirit ain’t broken, Your
Love’s so incredible, Your
Body’s so edible, You
[A7(sus4)]Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is enough.
VERSE II:[G(D)][A(D)][G(D)][A(D)]
I’m like a connoseiur of champagne cognac, The
[G(D)]Perfume nearly beats the [A(D)]taste
[G(D)]I eat an oyster and I fee[A(D)]l the contact, But
More than one would be a waste
Some people want an endless line, that’s true, But
[A7(sus4)]All I have to have’s a little time with you, A
[A7(sus4)]Smile sets me reeling, A
Kiss feels like stealing, Your
Love is like heroin, This
Addict is mellowing,
[A7(sus4)]I can’t pretend that I’m tough,
When just a little is enough.
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK[G(D)]:[A(D)][G(D)][A(D)]
Dm / / / C(no 3rd) | Dm (etc, repeated ad infinitum)
Just like a sailor heading into the sea, There’s a
[G(D)]Gale blowing in my face, Th[A(D)]e
[G(D)]High wind scares me[A(D)] but I need the breeze, And I
Can’t head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack, But
[A7(sus4)]Even a hurricane won’t turn me back, You
[A7(sus4)]Might be an island, on the
Distant horizon, but the
Little I see looks like
Heaven to me, and I don’t
[A7(sus4)]Care if the ocean gets rough,
‘Cause just a little is enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | x 4
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
(Repeat all chords from “They say that love often passes” . . . “match
rough”)
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I’m
[A7(sus4)]After a piece of that diamond in you, So
[A7(sus4)]Keep an eye open, My
Spirit ain’t broken, Your
Love’s so incredible, Your
Body’s so edible, You
[A7(sus4)]Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | (repeat to fade)

This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord
(or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only
‘power-chords’ (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for
the
tonal ‘colour’ here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the
end/start of each bar.

This same process is happening throughout the ‘E(no 3rd)’ sections
towards
the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same
way.
