As the swift bird flies over the grasses
Dipping now and then to take his breakfast
Thus I come and go and I travel

He puts his life into beauty sharing
And his children are his flowers
And they give me peace in quiet hours ...CHORUS

When you're rocked on the ocean

Rocked up and down don't worry
D
When you're spinning and turning
D A
Round and round don't worry
F#m
You're just feeling seasick

You're just feeling weak
C#m
Your mind is confused
D D
And you can't seem to speak
A D
It's just the motion
A Esus E (use D form on 4th fret)
It's just the motion
When the landlord is knocking
And your job is losing don't worry
When the baby needs rocking
And your friends are confusing don't worry
You're just feeling seasick
You're just feeling weak
Your mind is confised
And you can't seem to speak
It's just the motion
E D
Blown by a hundred winds
C#m B
Knocked down a hundred times
D C#m B
Rescued and carried along
A D
Beaten and half-dead and gone
F#m B F#m B
And it's only the pain that's keeping you sane
F#m B E
And gives you the mind to travel on
Oh the motion won't leave you
Won't let you remain Don't worry
It's a restless wind
And a sleepless rain, Don't worry
Under the ocean
At the bottom of the sea
You can't hear the storm
It's as peaceful as can be
It's just the motion

I DON'T KNOW WHY - by Shawn Colvin
Capo 2nd Fret (key of E)
D G A D D/F# G D
I don't know why the sky is so blue.
A7 C+9 G Em A7 G
And I don't know why I'm so in love with you.
D/F# Bm7 A Em7 A7
But if there were no music, then I would not get through.
D G A G D
And I don't know why I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, but somewhere dreams come true.
And I don't know where, but there'll be a place for you.
And every time you look that way, I would lay down my life for you.
I don't know why, I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, but some will make you cry.
And I don't know how, but I will get you by, I will try.
They're not trying to cause you pain, they're just afraid of loving you.
I don't know why, I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why, the trees grow so tall.
And I don't know why I don't know anything at all.
But of there were no music, then I would not get through.
I don't know why I know these things, but I do.
I don't know why I know these things, but I do.

Meet on...etc.
"Meet on the Ledge." #2
If you are playing the song in A, the marked chords should indeed be Bm.
Actually, though, on the album, the song is played in B-flat.
(Someone's playing a piano on the track, so it's really not too
surprising.)
Here are the chords of the song, in Bb:
MEET ON THE LEDGE - Fairport Convention

Bb Cm Bb Cm Bb Gm Fm Fm7

Ab Eb Ab Eb Bb

(Short bridge in F major,
with guitar figure in descending parallel sixths)
Bb Fm
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.
Ab Eb
When the time is up I'm gonna see all my friends.
Bb Fm
Meet on the ledge; we're gonna meet on the ledge.
Ab Eb

Bb Cm Bb Cm Bb Gm Fm Fm7
Now I see I'm all alone. But that's the only way to be.
Ab Eb Ab Eb Bb

Between the chorus and the next verse is a guitar figure
backed by the piano playing in F:
|-----13-----------11----------10---------8|
|------------------------------------------|
|12/14--------10/12--------8/10--------6/8-|
|------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------|

Which resolves to Bb at the start of the verse.
NIGHT COMES IN - Richard Thompson
A7sus Em
Night comes in, like some cool river
D C A7sus
How can there be, be another day?
A7sus Em
Take my hand, oh real companion
D C A7sus
And we'll dance, dance till we fade away
Oh, the sands pour down like silver
They can only, only break my heart
Drink the wine, the wine of lovers
Lovers tired of being apart
F#m A
Dancing till my feet don't touch the ground
F#m G
I lose my mind and dance forever
F#m G
Lose my mind and dance forever
C D
Turn my world around
C D
Turn my world around
E(m) C D A7sus
Oh, this night is like no other
And this room is ringing in my ears
And these friends will never leave me
And these tears are like no other tears
Dancing till my feet don't touch the ground
I lose my mind and dance forever
Lose my mind and dance forever
Turn my world around
Turn my world around
MR. TAMBOURINE MAN - by Bob Dylan
F G C F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
F C F G
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.
F G C F
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
C F G C
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.
F G C F
Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand,
C F
Vanished from my hand,
C F G
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
F G C F
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
C F
I have no one to meet,
C F G
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship.
My senses have been stripped,
My hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step,
Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade,
Into my own parade.
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it.
Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone,
It's just escaping on the run,
And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme,
To your tambourine in time.
It's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind,
It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.
Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.
Down the foggy ruins of time,
far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted frightened trees,
Out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea,
Circled deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
KILLING JAR From the FFKT album "Invisible Means" (Written by Richard Thompson.)
When playing the song live, Richard capos at the second fret and drops the sixth string down to D.
This gives a more drony sound. It also means that the chords are
considerably easier to play.
Hence, you can play more twiddly bits over the top!!!
If anyone can figure out the EXACT twiddly bits... I would be VERY grateful!!
Chord Shapes:
DADGBE
Dm 0*0231 (You can just about get away with playing the 5th string)
F 333***
G 555***
INTRO: Dm........F-Dm-F
F
My father was a judge, A solitary man,
Dm
He beat me to cry, With the back of his hand.
F
I played with my sisters, He said I played to rough,
Dm
It seems to me son, I didn't beat you enough.
G
No good________
Dm
They said i'm no good
G
No good________
Dm
They said son your no good
I went for my schooling, and I faced the wall,
"Tommy Burns" said the Teacher, can you hear me at all.
I sweep out the hallways, and I sweep out the grounds,
And the boss he tells me, that I'm late on my rounds.
No good________
They say i'm no good
No good________
They say i'm no good
GUITAR SOLO 1
I once had a songbird, with a broken wing,
I cried and cried, oh it never would sing
I once had a songbird, the apple of my eye,
I put it in the Killing Jar, Just to watch it die.
I once had a sweetheart, caught her running around,
I hit her with a log chain, and I put her in the ground.
I once had a sweetheart, Oh a pretty little thing,
I knelt in her cold grave, and I took back my ring.
|No good________
|They say i'm no good x4
No good________ I'm no good

I lit a thin green candle
D /D /A /A
to make you jealous of me
/A /A /Bm /Bm
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
/D /D /E /E
they heard that my body was free.
/F#m /F#m /C#m /C#m
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
/D /D /A /A
and I put it in your little shoe

and then I confess that I tortured the dress

that you wore for the world to look through.
A / A / A / A /

I showed my heart to the doctor
D /D /A /A
he said I'd just have to quit
/A /A /Bm /Bm
then he wrote himself a perscription
/D /D /E /E
and your name was mentioned in it.
/F#m /F#m /C#m /C#m
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
/D /D /A /A
with the details of our honeymoon
/Bm /Bm
and I hear from the nurse
/G /G
that he's gotten much worse
/Bm /A /G /G
and his practice is all in a ruin.
A / A / A / A /

I heard of a saint who had loved you

So I studied all night in his school
/A /A /Bm /Bm
he taught that the duty of lovers
/D /D /E /E
is to tarnish the golden rule.
/F#m /F#m /C#m /C#m
And just when I was sure
/C#m /C#m
that his teachings were pure

he drowned himself in the pool

his body is gone but back here on the lawn
/Bm /A /G /G
his spirit continues to drool.

the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
/D /D /E /E
his lips and his fingers were blue.
/F#m /F#m
I suppose that he froze
/C#m /C#m
when the wind took your clothes
/D /D /A
and I guess he just never got warm
/Bm /Bm /G /G
but you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
/Bm /A /G /G
o, please let me come into the storm.
HEY, THAT'S NO WAY TO SAY GOODBYE- Leonard Cohen
(from Songs of Leonard Cohen, 1967)
A
I loved you in the morning our kisses deep and warm
F#m
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
D
Yes, many loved before us I know that we are not new
A
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
F#m
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
D
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
E A E
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not looking for another
As I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner
Our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you
As your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes
Like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains
And things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I loved you in the morning
Our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us
I know that we are not new
In city and in forest
They smiled like me and you
But let's not talk of love or chains
And things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
WHO KNOWS WHERE THE TIME GOES - Fairport Convention

Across the morning sky all the birds are leaving
E A2 E A2
But how can they know it's time for them to go?
F#m G#m A G#m A
Before the winter's fire, I will still be dreamin'
E
I have no thought of time
CHORUS:
B A
For who knows where the time goes?
E A F#m A E E A2 E A2
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah and yet they know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time ...CHORUS
And I am not alone, while my love is near
And I know it will be so until it's time to go
So count the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
CHORUS #2:
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home
VERSE 2
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
Till I thought of what I'd say
And which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home
yeaah, back home
VERSE 3
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
So I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
Hey, I said, you can keep my things they've come to take me home
Finish off song with some heavy power chords on xx42x (high to low)
with good distortion.
"Let freedom ring"
"Oh Rock of ages do not crumble love is breathing still"
"Oh Lady Moon shine down, a little people magic if you will"

Midnight in her room
D/F# G D
There was music and incense and mirrors all around.
Bm Bm/A
By the light of the moon
Em G A
Her silver dress slipped to the ground.
D
And she knelt like Saint Joan
D/F# G D
And invisible armies attended her there
Bm Bm/A
And her knife brightly shone
Em A D G D
As she cut off her long silken hair.
F#m D
Trapped, I suppose
F#m E
Lied for my sake
Em F# F#7
Crushed like the rose
Bm Em G A
That somebody picked by mistake
Oh, I knew it would come
I knew she would leave me for some better start.
I knew it would come
She was too well-rehearsed in her part
And I measured my life
And my heart fairly broke with the sorrow and care
As she took down the knife
And cut off her long silken hair
Oh there's some who believe
Oh, there's some who believe there are reasons to lie
And there's some who deceive
And the truth is right there in their eyes
Oh but I don't see why
In all of my life I've seen nothing so fair
I don't see why
She cut off her long silken hair
Bb G D
I don't see why
Bb G D
I don't see why.
