If I had known the lowering tide, was lowering with the way you felt inside if I had known all hope was gone a broken heart and a broken home That pierced, my lovers past and carved a lonely path... for her to walk So if ever someone one says to you, life isnt fair, get used to it Then you should say Well it might be… If folks like you won't let it be' but Ill kiss your head when death becomes my bed and I am gone ------------ 11.The Fall Tuning: EADGBE Intro: x 3 (With Harmonica Riff) Give me something new that I haven't felt before The messages of love and directions to you door But we talk slowly, I don’t hear good anymore And we all Fall down And we all Fall down Don't die on me lady, only good things can come To those who practice reason and recognize good fun Your absence is the bullet and the past is your gun And we all fall down And we all fall down She still doesnt answer though she knows shes done wrong We buried the memories along with the songs When she wakes up, I hope that we are gone And we all fall down And we all fall down There's a visitor in black at my neighbors house My neighbor says tomorrow the visitor says now When he comes here please tell him that I'm out And we all fall down And we all fall down ------------------------------------------------ 12.Dancing Daze Tuning: EADGBE I've seen the way you deal with things The troubles that this life will bring If it gets to you then I can tell by the way you sing You act like it just doesn't mean a thing I see you dancin all your, dancin all your, dancin all your daze Maybe you can tell me how it is you got that way Dancing all your, dancing all your, dancing all your daze Come on, come on there's got to be a way There's all these things that get me down This dirty world is full of clowns They'll build you up just so they can knock you down Laugh at you while your there on the ground Chorus Single Strums!!

And I found a flower in a field A field of cars and people; rows of concrete, paint, and steel Manhattan is where it grew And I thought to cut it from it's stem And take it from the cracks between bricks that it lay in And save it from city strife Away from the city life Then someone they whispered in my ear A county girl cant be made out of anybody here Dont touch it, it loves you not Dont touch it, it loves you not Cause blue birds dont fly without their wings And when we put them in a cage the world can't hear them sing So selfish when greed sets in Possession, the king of sin And people dont ever let you down Forever find a way to kill whatever life they've found A heart beat and I want it too Manhattan is where she grew So I left and I let the flower be And yesterday saw the flower on cable TV Much prettier than here with me For all of the world to see Much prettier than here with me ------------ 14.40 East Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 2 Intro/Riff: Repeat x4 e|-------------2------0------------| B|------------3------1--1------------| G|---<12>-------4------0--0------------| D|---<12>-------4------2--0h2p0------------| A|--------0-1-2-2--2-3-3--3----2-3-2-0------------| E|--3------------3------------| Sleep darling rest your mind I'll drive all night to get to you Please moan softly if you must moan at all I'm moving through the night toward you Sleep darling, sleep darling I'm on my way to you I'm on my way to you REPEAT INTRO Rest my angel, not one word, Between you and I on the telephone line You are weary and need your sleep So leave the hard thinking and the driving to me Sleep darling, sleep darling I'm on my way to you I'm on my way to you Let go --------------------------- 15.Gimmeakiss Tuning: EADGBE Intro: Verse 1: Gimme a dance, gimme a chance, gimme your hands Give me just a little bit of your sweet romance Give me your hands I know what they say about me Hell, I started most of them rumors myself you see So give 'em to me Chorus: It wont take long for me to tell you who I am You hear my voice right now well that’s pretty much what I am Verse 2: / So gimme smile, gimme while, gimme mile Give me just a little bit of your sweet devine Just give me a smile I know what you said about me I think maybe if I had a preachin' judge then I'd forgive you see So give 'em to me Chorus: It wont take long for me to tell you who I am You hear my voice right now well that’s pretty much what I am Bridge: I'm bailin on my life Cause I'm wailing on my life G *STOP* So please just gimme a kiss Well I know you're waiting for a ring Ease up little lady, see, I'm not promising anything Verse 3: So gimme a chance, gimme a dance, gimme your hands Give me just a little bit of your sweet romance Just give me your hands I know what they say about me Hell, I started most of them rumors myself you see So give 'em to me Chorus: It wont take long for me to tell you who I am You hear my voice right now well that’s pretty much what I am Bridge: I'm bailin on my life Cause I'm wailing on my life G *STOP* So please just gimme a kiss Outro: ------------ 16.Denouncing November Blue Tuning: EADGBE Intro: November came and went, Like a summer that I spent, With a no name girl that walked in jelly shoes. I returned to my home, With a heart part made of stone, And I cried all night for a girl I never knew. From the east it comes, Her love and the rising sun, And I pray each time they come, it's not the last. You see I've got strong, I made it through what came along, But I can't move on for the beauty of the past. Came across a pretty girl, For about a month she was my world, And I held her hand, and swore we'd never part. I moved on, she stayed behind, I said I'd call, she said she'd write, We lost touch the moment I drove off. I left town like a gambler with, The sense of cashin' all the chips, Before I lost them all on a bad deal. I made believe I was in a race, Drove ten thousand miles in seven days, While writing a book called "Being A Free Man". Met more people than the president, The good times came and the good times went, And I learned how to ignore my hunger pains. I looked ahead to the open road, thought about the people and what they know, And wrote a book called "People Don't Know Nothin". (no matter what they tell ya, man) Once I spent my last dime, And counted the ratio of miles to time, I looked up to my disdain and my surprise. I had driven my car around the world, Ended back in the town with the girl, So I wrote a book called "Life in Prison". (Volume. 1) I see that girl every now and then, And we drink to having such good friends, And apologize for the way it did not last. Funny thing that it's all true, And I'll always love November Blue, But I turned her down for the beauty of the past. November came and went, Like a summer that I spent, With a no name girl that walked in jelly shoes. I returned to my home, With a heart part made of stone, And I cried all night for a girl I never knew. ------------ 17.Four Thieves Gone Tuning: EADGBE Tuning: Standard Intro Four thieves gone; one woke up Said we cant use the songs we wrote Swear Ive heard that very line I cant claim this music mine Three thieves left, one got smart I saw him leaving in his car From the road I heard him scream It lacks originality Three thieves left One got smart I saw him leaving in his car From the road I heard him scream It lacks originality Two thieves left They both agree They live and die off melody One just fell dead On his back When we listen to the track One thief left He went to jail He left a mile on paper trail Hes in for life He doesn't care Its worth the songs that put him there Four thieves gone Four thieves gone Four thieves gone Four thieves gone ------------ END!!!
