{section: Intro}
[G] [C] [D]
(No Chord)
Well I've been lockin' myself up in my house for sometime now
Readin' and writin' and readin' and thinkin'
and searching for reasons and missing the seasons.
The Autumn, the Spring, the Summer, the snow.
The record will stop and the record will go.
Latches latched the windows down,
the dog coming in and the dog going out.
Up with caffeine and down with a shot.
Constantly worried about what I've got.
Distracting my work but I can't make a stop
and my confidence on and my confidence off.
And I sink to the bottom and rise to the top
and I think to myself that I do this a lot.
World outside just goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes...
and witness it all from the blinds of my window.
THREE, FOUR
{section: Chorus}
I[G]'m a little nervous '[C]bout what y[D]ou'll think
When you see me in my swimming trunks
And last night in New York I got raging drunk
Remember one time I got raging drunk with you
Now, I can recall a time when we made the city
Streets our playground, kissing in the fountains
Filled with cigarettes and bottles
Sped through Italian city streets of cobblestone
Because we had to
Because I loved you
Because the damned alcohol
Beacuse what ever at all
(No Chord)
Now I've grown to aware of my mortality
To let go and forget about dying
Long enough to drop the hammer down
And let the indolence go wild and flying through
Because we had to
[G]Sus[C]ann[G]a, [C]Italia[G]na, w[C]hat do you [G]want to [D]do?
[G]I [C]thought [G]I had [C]figured it [G]out but [C]that was [G]before [D]you
[Em]Walking a [C]mile into [G]town
[Em]Hoping to [D]see you [G]around
[Em]Hoping your [C]man is [D]nowhere to be [G]found
[Em]And hoping we'l[C]l go to your [G]room
And hoping we'll go to your room
[G]Qui[C]etl[G]y [C]act like you [G]love me [C]until I leave [G]Feltr[D]e
[G]And w[C]hen you [G]learn [C]of my [G]return
[C]Watch what the [G]townspeople [D]say
[Em]Riding in [C]your cargo [G]van
[Em]Driving your [D]mom's cargo [G]van
If [Em]you only [C]knew how [D]charming it [G]was
The [Em]lure of your [C]folks cargo [G]van
The lure of your folks cargo van
[G]Go [C]tell [G]Max
Be [C]clear with the [G]facts
[C]Leave me a [G]letter to [D]there
[G]I [C]still [G]have the [C]one from [G]before
From [C]when I turned [G]twenty [D]four

Leave out, pack your things and go, leave the baby makers home

they;re what you're obligated to , don't listen to nobody else
And I'm done forever, it's you and me forever (x7)

[Strum E chord, and hit 12th fret harmonics]
I was in [E]love with your [A]beauty
From the [E]day you walked my [A]way.
Oh, how I [E]wish that was [A]enough to
Have [E]made me [B7]want to [E]stay.
See, I'm as true as I try to be,
And I must say my girl,
I tried the best to give to you
All of the truest in the world.
But, when I left your house that morning
in that ragged Thunderbird,
I tried so hard to fight the voices
From the devils that I heard.
See, there's a highway to the right of us
I took a year ago,
And since a year ago can't drive past
Without turning down that road.
[Strum E chord]
And [G]I [C]knew it, I [G]never should have [C]turned the wheel.
And [G]I [C]knew it, the [G]voices calling [C]me weren't real.
[G]I [C]knew it, [G]listen to the [C]song they sing.
[G]I [C]knew I was [G]wrong, and [G]I [C]knew I was [G]wrong.
[Repeat Intro, strum E chord, and slide down from 12th Fret on low E]
So, give me a try at describing
Just how difficult it is,
When you kind of love two girls
To figure out which one you miss.
Stumble away from your stairway
With your perfume on my clothes.
Well, I kind of loved two girls
But, now I kind of lost them both.
And I knew it, I never should have turned the wheel.
And I knew it, the voices calling me weren't real.
I knew it, listen to the song they sing.
I knew I was wrong, and I knew I was wrong.
And if I could gather up the damage
That I've rendered in my life,
Place it on a scale and weigh against
The damage done that night.
Then it'd be safe to say
The weight of all I did and didn't do
Would surly float against the lightest wrong
I ever did to you.
[D]What was it like for [G]you
[D]I can tell you in truth what it was [G]like for me
[D]To be sixteen in July, [F#m]sixteen in July
[G]License in my hand
[A]Freedom on my mind
[D]I was sixteen in July, s[F#m]ixteen in July
[G]With summer to my left
[A]And no one to my right
What did you want to hear on your radio
Even if it did not come in clear
You'd still be sixteen in July, sixteen in July
With license in your hand
and freedom on your mind
If youre sixteen in July, sixteen in July
With summer to your left
And no one to your right
For me it was shortcut road
The girl was new and the car was old
Were you in love like me?
Or at least as in love as you can be?
When youre sixteen in July, sixteen in July
With license in your hand
and freedom on your mind
I was sixteen in July, sixteen in July
With summer to my left, and no one to my right
[G]Nobody knows it but [C]I am so sad
[G]Nobody knows it but [Bm]I am so sad
[C]And that is the [D]saddest of [G]all my girl
[C] [D] [G]$
That is the saddest of all
[G]We climbed the ladder [C]to the top of my house
[G]Never letting [Bm]go of your hand
[C]The sky trades [D]the moon for the [G]sun my girl
[C] [D] [G]$
The sky trades the moon for the sun
[G]And I gave to you my [C]ugly brown coat
[G]You made it pretty [Bm]when you put it on
[C]Warmth in the [D]early morning [G]chill my girl
[C] [D] [G]$
Warmth in the early April
[G]Then you said youd [C]trade the love of a man
[G]Tears fell soft from [Bm]your face to my hands
[C]Said youd [D]trade your heart for [G]mine my girl
[C] [D] [G]$
I traded my heart for those days
[G]And you made it clear [C]it was strictly a deal
[G]Of springtime love and [Bm]thats how I should feel
[C]So I set the [D]clock back an hour[G] my girl
[C] [D] [G]$
I set the time a just right
[G]You see somewhere back there [C]when I was boy
[G]Furious I had [Bm]become by the point
[C]That men are [D]just liars and [G]thieves of sorts
[C] [D] [G]$
Men are just liars and thieves
[G]But I still believe and [C]I stand by my words
[G]I dont know what you have [Bm]seen or youve heard
[C]But somebodys [D]lying to you [G]my girl
[C] [D] [G]$
Somebodys lying to you
[G]You really made me [C]believe I could stay
[G]Part with you actions [Bm]in part what you said
[C]But that was [D]just foolish pride [G]my girl
[C] [D] [G]$
And those are only feelings inside
[G]So Im going back to [C]the place where we met
[G]Im going to find the [Bm]beer bottle we left
[C]Wedged in the [D]limbs of the tree [G]that we sat in
[C] [D] [G]$
Wedged in the magnolia tree
[G]Well we hid for days [C]like a proud pair of thieves
[G]Too sure we were right [Bm]too stubborn too leave
[C]Wasted with [D]the moment we lifted [G]my girl
[C]Stolen forev[D]er with you[G]
Do I [G]need to tell you?
I don't [Em]need to be untrue
[C]Not when I have a lover like [G]you.
[G] (harmonics) x2 [D]
[G]Now it don't take that much thought
[Em]Not with all the love you've got
[G]And you give it to me free
[Em] 'STOP'
Some might take that for granted but certainly not me
No [C]not when I have a lover like[G] you
[G] (harmonics) x2 [D]
[Em]I haven't eyes for [C]anyone else
[Em]I'm thinking of you and[C] nobody else
[Em]I havent eyes for [C]anyone else but [Am]you
[C]Yooouuu....
[G] (harmonics) x2 [D]
[G]She may be all on my case
Want to [Em]kiss me on my face
Put my [G]hands on her waist
[Em] 'STOP'
Take me back to her place
I would happily follow
But [C]not when I have a lover like [G]you.
[Em]I haven't eyes for a[C]nyone else
[Em]I'm thinking of you and[C] nobody else
[Em]I haven't eyes for a[C]nyone else but [Am]you
But [C]yooouuu[G]....
But yooouuu....
But yooouuu....
But yooouuu....

[Em] [G] [Em] [Am] [Em] [C] [Em] [D] [Em] [G] [Em] [Am] [Em] [C] [Em] [D] [Em] (hold last [Em] for 5 bars)
I ain't through I ain't walking out
Leaving ain't what I'm about,
You may scream and I may shout.
But baby I love you.
[G]If I had known, your h[Bm]eart was down
that[C] lonely day in [D]Greenville town,
[G]Then I would have been[Bm] more concerned
but [C]later on I [D]truly learned
how[G] it can feel in [Bm]every bone
to [C]really see you're [D]all alone
But [Em]I ll k[C]iss your [G]head,
when[Em] death [C]finds your [G]bed
and you are [C]gone
And if I had seen
the way it would be
Id hushed your cries
when you came to me
If I could do what I did to you
the same to me then I would love for you to see
that I sleep with remorse
and regret hangs round my door
for ever more.
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

play to which Cmaj7 or C9 chord you prefer
For the G and Cmaj7 during the verses, just fingerpick
between mostly E, D, G, and B string with occasionally
high E. The chords are the same for every verse.
[G]And I found a flower in a field
[G]A field of cars and people; rows of concrete, paint, and steel
[Cmaj7]Manhattan is where it grew
[G]And I thought to cut it from it's stem
[G]And take it from the cracks between bricks that it lay in
[Cmaj7]And save it from city strife [G]
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

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
Let go

[G]November came and went,
Like a [C]summer that I spent,
With a n[D]o name girl that walked in jelly [G]shoes.
[G]I returned to my home,
With a [C]heart part made of stone,
And I [D]cried all night for a girl I never [G]knew.
[G]From the east it comes,
Her love a[C]nd the rising sun,
And I [D]pray each time they come, it's not the [G]last.
[G]You see I've got strong,
I made i[C]t through what came along,
But I [D]can't move on for the beauty of the [G]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.

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
