[G]    [C] [G]

 [G]Don't call pretty Peggy,

 [C]She can't hear you no [G]more

 Don't leave no message

 [C]Round her back [G]door

 They say the [C]old laughing lady

 Been here be[G]fore

 She [D]don't keep time [C]

 She don't count [G]score

 [G]  [C] [G]

 [G]You can't have a cupboard

 [C]If there ain't no [G] wall

 You got to move

 [C]There's no time for you to stall

              [C]            020010 [Am]
 They say the old laughing lady

 Dropped [C]by to [D]call [G]

 And [D]when she leaves [Am]

 She leaves [C]nothing at [G]all

(without the run through Am)

 [G]See the drunkard of the village

 [C]Fallin' on his [G]feet

 He can't tell his ankle

 [C]From the rest of his [G]feet

              [C]            020010 [Am]
 He loves his old laughing lady

 Because the [C]taste is so [G]sweet [Bm]

 But the [D]laughin' lady's loving

 Ain't the [Am]kind he can [C]keep [G]

 [D] [Am] [C] [G]

 There's a [G]fever on the freeway

 [C]Blacks out the [G]night

 There's a slippin' on the stairway

 Just [C]don't feel right [G]

 There's a [C]rumblin' in the bedroom

 And a [C]flashin' of [G]light

 [D]There's the old laughing lady

 Every[C]thing is all right [G]

 [D]There's the old laughing lady

 Every[C]thing is all right [G]

 [D] [Am] [C] [G]

 notes: the quick change to C and G at the end on many lines is omitted
 it occurs everywhere but  'if there ain't no wall / you got to move...'
 the run through from C to Am via the B note is a familiar ny trick...

 Mr. Soul : Unplugged

 (Tune the guitar down to D)

 [E] [E] [E] [E]

 [E]Oh hello Mr. Soul I droped by to pick up a reason

 For the [E]thought that I'd caught that my head is the event of the season

 Why in [A]crowds just a trace of my face should seem so [E]pleasin'

 I'll [D]cop out to the change but a [A]stranger is putting the [E]tease on

 [D]  [G] [D]  x2

 I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter
 I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
 Any girl in the world could have esaily known me better
 She said 'You're stange, but don't change' and I let her

 [D]

 In a while well the smile on my face turned to plaster
 Stick around while the clown who was sick does the trick of disaster
 For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
 Is it strange I should change? I don't know - why don't you ask her

 Is it [D]strange I should change? I don't [A]know

 Is it [D]strange I should change? I don't [A]know

 World on a String : Unplugged


 [E]You know I lose, you know I win

 You know I [A]called for the state I'm in

 It's just a [E]game you see me play

      [G]           [D]          [A]                020003
 Only real in the way that I feel from day to day


 Although the answer is not unknown
 I'm searchin', searchin', and how I've grown
 It's not all right, to say good-bye
 And the world on a string doesn't mean a thing

 [E]  [G] [D]

 No the [G]world on a [D]string doesn't [E]mean a [G]thing

      [G]           [D]          [E]                020003

 Pocahontas : Rust Never Sleeps

 [D]   [Dsus4]  (9)  x4

 [D]Aurora Borealis

 The [D]icy sky at night

 [Em]Paddles cut the water

 In a [D]long and hurried flight

 From the [A]white man [C] to the [G]fields of [D]green

 and the [A]homeland [C] we've [G]never [D]seen

 [D]   [Em] [D]

 They killed us in our teepees
 And they cut our women down
 They might have left some babies
 Cryin' on the ground
 But the firesticks and the wagons come
 And the night falls on the settin' sun

 [D] [D] [Em] [D] [A] [C] [G] [D]

 They massacred the buffalo
 Kitty corner from the bank
 The taxis run across my feet
 And my eyes have turned to blanks
 In my little box at the top of the stairs
 With my indian rug and a pipe to share

 [D] [D] [Em] [D]  [A] [C] [G] [D]   [A] [C] [G] [D]

 (verse:)

 I wish I was a trapper
 I would give a thousand pelts
 To sleep with Pocahontas
 and find out how she felt
 In the mornin' on the fields of green
 In the homeland we've never seen

 [D]

 And maybe Marlon Brando
 Will be there by the fire
 We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
 And the good things there for hire
 And the Astradome and the first teepee
 Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
 Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me
 [A]Pocahontas [C]   [G]     [D]

 Stringman : Unplugged

 [F] [C] [Bb] [C]  x4

 [F]You can say the soul is gone

 And the [Dm/G]feelings just not there

 [Bb]Not like it [C]was so long a[F]go [C]   [Bb]      [C]

 On the [F]empty page before you

 You can [Dm/G]fill in what you care

 [Bb]Try to make it [C]good before you [F]go [C]   [Bb]      [C]

 Take the simple case of the sarge
 Who wouldn't go back to war
 Because the hippies tore down every -
 Thing that he was fighting for
 Or the lovers on the blanket
 The city turned to whores
 With memories of green kissed by the sun

 You can say the soul is gone
 And close another page
 Just be sure that yours is not the one

 [F] [C] [Bb] [C]

 And I'm [Bb]singing for the [F]stringman

 Who [Bb]lately lost his [F]wife

 There [Bb]is no dearer [Dm]friend of mine

 That [C]I know in this [F]life

 On his shoulder is a violin
 For his head where chaos reigns
 But his heart can't find a simple way
 To live with all those things

 All those [F]things [C]   [Bb]      [C]

 He's a [F]stringman [C]   [Bb]      [C]

   [F]         [C] [Bb] [C]
 [A] stringman

 Like A Hurricane : Unplugged

 [Am] [G] [F] [Em]

 [Am]Once I thought I saw you in a [G]crowded, hazy bar,

 [F]Dancing on the light from star to [Em]star. [G]

 [Am]Far across the moon beams, I [G]know that's who you are.

 I [F]saw your brown eyes turning once to [Em]fire. [G]

 [C]You [G]are [F]like a [G]hurricane: [C]there's [G]calm [F]in your [G]eye.

 [C]And [G]I'm [F]getting [G]blown away.

 [F]There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay.

 I wanna love you but I'm getting blown a[Am]way. [G]   [F]     [Em]        [G]

 I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,
 And you could have been anyone to me.
 Before that moment you touched my lips, that
 Perfect feeling when time just slips
 Away between us and our foggy trips.

 The Needle and the Damage Done : Unplugged

 [D] [Dadd][C] [Em7] [Gm] [Bb] [C] [F] [Esus4] [E]

 [D]I caught you knocking at my [Dadd]cell[C]ar door,

 [Em7]I love you baby can I [Gm]hav[Bb]e some more

 [C]Oh [F]oh the damage [Esus4]done  [E]

 I hit the city and I lost my van
 I watched the needle take another man
 Gone, gone, the damage done

 I sing the song because I love the man
 I know that some of you don't understand
 Milk blood to keep from running out

 I've seen the needle and the damage done
 A little part of it in everyone
 Every junky's like a setting sun

 I've seen the needle and the damage done
 A little part of it in everyone
 Every junky's like a setting sun

 [C]There is a [G]town in north On[F]tario,

 [C]With dream [G]comfort memory to [F]spare,

 [C]And in my [G]mind I still [F]need a place to go,

 Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
 Yellow moon on the rise,
 Big birds flying across the sky,
 Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us...

 [C]Helpless, [G]helpless, help[F]less

 [C]Baby [G]can you hear me [F]now?

 I want to celebrate, see it shinin' in your eye

 She used to [G]work in a diner, never saw a woman look finer

 I used to order just to see her float across the [C]floor.

 She grew up in a [C]small [G]town, never put her [C]roots [G]down.

 Daddy kept movin so she did [C]too.

 Somewhere on a [C]desert [G]highway, she rides a [C]Harley [G]Davidson

 Her long blonde hair flyin' in the [C]wind.

 She's been runnin [C]half of her [G]life.

 The chrome and [C]steel she [G]rides,

 Collidin' with the very air she [C]breathes, the air she [G]breathes.

 You know it ain't easy, you got to hold on.
 She was an unknown legend in her time.
 Now whe's dressin' two kids, lookin' for that magic kiss.
 She gets that far away look in her eyes.

 [Bm]Look out for [G]my love  (x4)

 You own it

 Evii
 You own it now

 Evii
 You own it

 There's a weight on you
 But you can't feel it
 Livin' like I do
 It's hard to see it
 Was I hurt too bad?
 Can I show you daylight?
 How could I be sad
 When I know that you might

 Look out for my love (x4)

 [C]Look out for my love

 [Em]It's in your neighbourhood

 [Am]I know things are gonna change

 But I [G]can't say good or bad

 Silver wings of morning
 Shining in the grey day
 While the ice is forming
 On a lonely runway

 Hydraulic wipers pumping
 Till the window glistens
 Something saying something
 But no one seems to listen

 Men wth walkie-talkies
 Men with flash-lights waving
 Up upon the tower
 Time reads daylight savings

 I'm home again to you babe
 You know it makes me wonder
 Sittin' in the quiet slipstream
 In the thunder

 [Bm]Look out for [G]my love (x10)

 Bm G    ad infinitum ... :-)

 [Bm]With trunks of [G]memories [A]still to come.

 [D]We found [A/D]things to do in [G]stormy [D]weather.

 [Bm]Long [A]may you [D]run.

 [D]Long may you [A/D]run, [G]long may [D]you run,

 [Bm]Although these [G]changes have [A]come.

 [D]With your chrome heart [A/D]shinin'

 [G]in the [D]sun, [Bm]long [A]may you [D]run.

 [G] [Bb]

 Well it was back in Blind River in nineteen sixtytwo
 When I last saw you alive.
 But we missed that ship on the long decline.
 Long may you run.

 [D] [Dsus4] [D]

 Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now
 With those waves singin' Caroline.
 Rollin' down that empty ocean road,
 Get into the surf on time.

 From Hank to Hendrix : Unplugged

 [G] [Bm] [C] [Am]

 [G]From Hank to [Bm]Hendrix, [C]I walked these streets with [Am]you.

 [Em]Here I am with this [G]old guitar, [C]doing what I [Am]do.

 [G]I always ex[Bm]pected, [C]that you would see me [Am]through.

 [Em]I never be[G]lieved in much, [C]but I believed in [Am]you. [G]

 [F]Can we get it together, can we [C]still stand side by [G]side.

 [F]Can we make it last, [C]like a musical [G]ride?

 From Marilyn to Madonna, I always loved  your smile,
 Now we're headed for the big divorce, California style.
 I found myself singin'  like a long lost friend
 The same thing that makes you live can kill you in the end.

 Sometimes its distorted not clear to you.
 Sometimes the beauty of love just comes ringin' through.
 New glass in the window, new leaf on the tree,
 new distance between us you and me.

 use G 320033 or Giii rather than a straight open G?
