Did you never call? I waited for your call.
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.

Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I’m not bound to follow suit.
The trees will bend, the conversation’s dimmed.
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn’t mine.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.


Did you never call? I waited for your call.
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.
The ocean sang, the conversation’s dimmed.
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn’t mine.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.

Hear the howl of the road, a question:
Did we miss anything? Did we miss anything?

#MONTY GOT A RAW DEAL
#
#From: Matthew B. Johnson (zagyg@netcom.netcom.com)
#
#Intro: Gm Bb

Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing
But nonsense has a welcome ring and heros don’t come easy
Now nonsense isn’t new to me, I know my head I know my feet
But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go
I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand
A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by
So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree
A woman out there said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue
You don’t owe me anything, you don’t want this sympathy (waste your breath)
Don’t you waste your breath (waste your breath) for the silver screen
That nonsense doesn’t mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting
But virtue isn’t everything so don’t waste time
Now Here’s a rhyme that you must hear, put this on your reel to reel
Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty’s laying low, he is laying low
Just let go, just let go
You don’t owe me anything, you don’t want this sympathy (waste your breath)
Don’t you waste your breath (waste your breath) Monty this seems strange to me

#KING OF BIRDS
#
#Original chords by: ?
#Corrections from: the-concourse-on-high
#
#
#
#
#
#Intro : D
#
A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler’s stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don’t lay so still you’re not yet young
There’s time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly
Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody’s looking on
(Old don’t lay so still you’re not yet young)
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away
E B E –> D
away… awaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyieeeeeee
I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don’t lay so still, you’re not yet young
There’s time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away.
Everybody hit the ground. Everybody hit the ground.

#WHAT IF WE GIVE IT AWAY?

#
#Chords by: Tony Bowden (dejavu@athmail1.causeway.qub.ac.uk)
#Corrections by: jieuryli@eden.rutgers.edu)
#
#
On the outside underneath the wall
All the money couldn’t buy
You’re mistaken no one’s standing there
For the record no one tried
Oh… I….. try to
What if we give it away…?
Overlooking with a hollow eye
What’s pretending is it right
Eye for order a hand for what’s in line
Couldn’t follow couldn’t write
Oh… I….. try to
What if we give it away…?
And our life is fine here
Stitch it on your tie here
Here’s the trailer Tom
A year has come and gone
We’re not moving was it right
Take the order sew it on your tie
We couldn’t follow couldn’t try
These are basic runs from D chord to G, something like:

|———— |—————–3–|
|-3-2-0—— |-3-3-3-3-3-2-0—2–|
|——-2-0-2 and |—————2-0–|

#JUST A TOUCH
#
#From: Richard Hall
#Corrections by: Mike (I lost the email address)
#
#
#Intro: A D G x 4
#
#
Well what in the world? Women in black
Don’t you remember send us back
A day in the life well nobody laughed
Look to the days how long can this last
Kevin heard it on the radio
Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news
Caught it all just a touch
A D G x 2
You set the pace of what was to come
I have to carry on now that you’re gone
A day in the life well nobody laughed
Look to the days how long can this last
Kevin heard it on the radio
Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news
Caught it all just a touch
There’s someone in our dreams
In our preassembled dream
Lord! Dave! William!

Well what in the world? Women in black
Don’t you remember send towering part back
A day in the life well nobody laughed
Look to the days how long can this last
Kevin heard it on the radio
Hugh informed word of mouth
Carla read it in the news
Caught it all just a touch
A D G (repeat to end over these lyrics:)
I can’t see where to worship Popeye, love Al Green,
I can’t see, I’m so young, I’m so god damn young

#KING OF COMEDY
#
#Chords by: Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us)
#
#
Make your money with a suit and tie
Make your money with a shrewd denial
Make your money expert advice,
G A (before chorus hold 1st A on this line)
If you can wing it
Make your money with a power ply
Make your money with a buyout bribe
Make it lie as long as you mean it
Chorus:
I’m not King of Comedy
Grease the pig, give a squeeze (squeeze me)
Make your money with exploitation
Make it holy illumination
Say a prayer at every station
Don’t forget to ask for mercy
Make your money with a pretty face
Make it easy with product placement
Make it charged with controversy
I’m straight, I’m queer, I’m bi
I’m not king of comedy,
I’m not your magazine,
I’m not your television
G5 Slide (8x)
Make your money, make it rich
make it young and make it quick
Make your money on the jukebox, baby,
it’s pick up sticks
Make your enemies make your moves
Make your critics fumble through
Make it smart and make it schmooze
Make it look easy
I’m not king of comedy,
I’m not your magazine,
I’m not your television
I’m not your movie screen
I’m not commodity (all together now)

I’m not commodity
I’m not commodity
I’m not commodity
I’m not commodity
