Chasing Shadows

Em7
Chasing shadows

Bm7               G          A        Em7
Over the ground      with myself only sleeping

Dwarves and giants

            Bm7
Twenty feet tall

G           A               Em7
   Fill the room with their grieving

Sounds of breathing

           Bm7
Sharpen my ears

G            A         Em7
   Then they fade into nothing

Someone's laughter

           Bm7           G                A               Em7
Out in the street              fills the night with their loving

D           A           Em7

G               D         F          C
     I feel the axe in my head

G           D                F          C
Running his hands through my bed

G        D          F#         B
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead

G          D          F#         B
Colours of yellow and colours of red
Note: The guitar sound is very " acid " on this song, so the chords Em7 and Bm7 can also be E7+9 and B7+9.

Fools

Bb/C       Cm
I'm        crying

Bb/C       Cm

Man is   not          my   brotherhood

I died as I lived 

     Bb            Cm
As I loved and was born

Eb       Bb/D   Fm
On some distant hill

     Cm        F
The reasons to hide

Were the reasons I cried

Fools pass laughing still

I've been picking up my bones too long

Won't you understand

Hungry Daze


     Gm
In a dark and sweaty room in 69

Tables turning

Dancing girls, silly girls, all kind of girls

            F     A
And it was loud

Gm7
Turning up to madness in the back room

Candles burning

Present the Stinky Hippy and throw the naked thunder

To the crowd

                                                       A
The flies are crawling on their face and trying to get in

People say that we're to blame I say

  I can be like you
  
D                                                    C
Fighting with the thruth, trying to hide a fool in a fantasy

Sail Away

Em
If you're driftin' on an empty ocean

with no wind to fill your sail,

the future, your horizon,

it's like searchin' for the Holy Grail.

You feel there's no tomorrow

as you look into the water below.

It's only your reflection

and you still ain't got no place to go.

B    A    G
Time will show,

Em/B  D/A     C/G
when, I don't know.

Am          Em
Sail away tomorrow,

Am           Em
sailin' far away.

   Am               Em
To find it steal or borrow.

G       A         B
I'll be there someday

Stormbringer

Em (riff)
Comin' out of nowhere

Drivin' like rain

Stormbringer dance

On the thunder again

Dark cloud gathering

Breaking the day

No point running

'Cause it's coming your way

Em       G
Ride the rainbow

C           B       Em    D    C    B
  Crack the sky

Em           G         D       Am
Stormbringer coming

        B
Time to die

Got to keep running

Stormbringer coming

D
    He's got nothing you need

C
    He's gonna make you bleed

Em (riff)

Super Trouper

E                              D    E   G
I was a young man when I died, oh

E                                 D   E
I was flash, I was full of pride, oh

                              D        E       G
I gave it all I gave my soul, I was so strong

E                                  D        E
I felt the thruth, I felt the pain in every song

D            Bm       A   A7/G       E
How well you know me, you've seen me cry

C          Am            E             B7+5
I'm just a shadow in the rock and roll sky

etc...

Been so many words so much to say

Dm                      F        Gm
Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay

Dm                     C
Some live in fear some do not

Dm                            F        Gm
Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot

A7-9
Oh don't talk to me of love

Bb           C/E          Dm
It's obvious it's not enough

       Bb/D     Dm         Bb       C
Annihilation    kill them all

Dm           C          Bb
Capitulation watch the mighty fall

For now my life seems at an end

The Spanish Archer


           C
Well there must have been a reason 

         G
For the smile that you had upon your face Last night

            Am
Are you the cat that got the cream?

                            G
Did you lick your lips? Did you roll your eyes?

         Am
Can you imagine how it feels? It's so hard to reveal.

G                G/B              C
Oh, I can't get through and I'm falling

                G           C       G     C
I'm getting out, I'm losing ground

This Time Around

Em6(9)              Am6(9)
The world around us hangs in doubt

Em6(9)                      Am6(9)
You face a crime that we'll hear about

Em6(9)                Gmaj7/A      Dmaj7       Ebmaj7
To pay the cost would never be the same

Em6(9)               Am6(9)
Eternal lovers we're not to blame

Em6(9)                     Am6(9)
There's no mistake there's no refrain

Em6(9)                     Gmaj7/A
The same surroundings that stood

         Cmaj7      Em7
Are here again this time

     Bm7   Em7       Bm7      Em7
As I look around you can't be found

   Cmaj9
To lose you I'd rather see

    G       D/F#    Em     D         Cmaj7
The endless time of space go passing by

     D     Em
This time around

Cmaj7   D    Em
   This time around

Am7       Bm7     Cmaj7       D
So look around we all will be found

The endless time of space go passing by

C
Fly

Em6(9)
By

Wasted Sunsets

Am               F/A
      The day is gone

         C/G            D/F#
when the angels come to stay

    Dm             Am/C
And all the silent whispers

     B7sus4    E
will be blown away

     Am          F/A
And lying in the corner

  C/G                D/F#
a pair of high heel shoes

Dm      Am/C
Hanging on the wall

        B7sus4          E
gold and silver for the blues

Dm7           G           Am
      One too many wasted sunsets

C            G            Am
     One too many for the road

Dm7           G        Am
    And after dark the door is always open

C            G                 D
      Hoping someone else will show

Why Didn't Rosemary

Gm (no 3rd)
There's a black hill 


We had a climb


Everything I need but nothing's mine

Cm (no 3rd)
Satan's world, I've had a kill

Gm (no 3rd)
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

Dm                   C
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill

Bb                          Am    D
Oh man won't do it, but the devil will


Gm (no 3rd)   F     D7+9


Gm (no 3rd)
I'm losing time and my mind


Why can't I ever have what's naturally mine?

Cm (no 3rd)
I got life and the things that go with it

Gm (no 3rd)
If there's something else, where can i get it?

Dm                   C
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill

Bb                          Am    D
Oh man won't do it, but the devil will


Gm (no 3rd)   F     D7+9


Gm (no 3rd)
Well here's my views, I always lose


Things I want to do are yesterday's news

Cm (no 3rd)
Say life's a ball, I've had it all

Gm (no 3rd)
Out there in another dance hall

Dm                   C
Lying there waiting, waiting for the kill

Bb                          Am    D
Oh man won't do it, but the devil will


Gm (no 3rd)   F     D7+9


Gm (no 3rd)
Take me as I am, an excuse for a man


Wherever I push someone stops my hand

Cm (no 3rd)
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will

Gm (no 3rd)
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?

I get when I'm alone with you?

It's causing me worry and trouble

I'm going round in circles

Sometimes in the morning I wake up without you


Can't get up, it's getting me down,

Tell me what you're trying to do

Am7
Later in the evening you come home feeling low

G                
If you'd stop your cruising, 

Gmaj7(no 5th)/B    F#maj7(no 5th)/A#     Fmaj7(no 5th)/A    G
Maybe              we could              make               a show

Em7 etc...
