From this chair I see the [G5]sun
Bathe me in shadows of Co[C]mmission flats.
Though the cold does touch my [Am]arm,
I turn to face the [C]fire on telly[G5].

A generation with our [G5]hands in blood,
Like all the generations [C]gone before,
And though we thought we learnt our [Am]lessons,
It seems we learnt [C]them too well.[G5]

So darling [Am]share this [C]wine with [G5]me.
We'll be together on the [Am]eve of [C]World War [G5]III
And will the children that have [Em]grown so high
In the [C]back of our minds - [G5]slip through our fingers like [C]oil.

I think I must have seen a [G5]thousand films
Where all the boys come back from [C]Vietnam
And when they said they'd purged their [Am]conscience,
For a second I thought they [C]meant it.

So in the congress hear them [G5]plead,
And try and carve their words in [C]history
Though we all fear the loss of [Am]life,
Our leaders fear the [C]rise in global [G5]petrol prices.

So darling [Am]share this [C]wine with[G5] me.
We'll be together on the [Am]eve of [C]World War [G5]III
And will the children that have [Em]grown so high
In the [C]back of our minds - [G5]slip through or fingers like [C]oil.

        A word on the fill's -
                According to Craig at BHP, the G string is played open for
                both FILL's #1 & #2. I'm undecided, though I'm starting to
                think this may be the case.

This is the best I can do so far. The chords for the extended chorus at the
end are possibly wrong - If anyone finds something wrong, tell me - I
want to play it right too. As far as the 'solo'(if thats what you'd call it)
goes, don't hasle too much about the D note running through it. If you're
playing in a group, it won't be missed (in fact, I don't think TOSAW worry
about it much when they play it live anyway). Otherwise you can just get the
bass to play - probably best.

(Yeah) how we [C]drove along the Yarra,
How we [G5]sang harmonies to [C]Carole King.       [D]
These [D]three years now just gone,
They are the [C]legends of my mind,
We both [G5]kneel at these rocks and [C]drink of the memories      [Dsus4]             [D]

[D]We kissed on that bridge that fell down
While we [C]held hands at the Taj,
We've been [G5]stuck in a cave with that [C]bloke who says 'Oi Am',      [D]
And when I [D]cried for my cruel heart,
You rubbed my [C]back 'til I felt better,
We ate [G5]bread on the lake and [C]yearned for the seasons.      [Dsus4]             [D]

[D]You are th[D]e tunes[G5] in my head,

        With the riff part of   'A    C D', it usually goes back to a C,
        more as a ghost note than anything - add it in here and there
        if you think it's worth it.

        Things of Stone and Wood

Timing: 4/4

        During singing, the G chord is played in an arpegio fashion,
        during the viola part it's strummed. I'm not a great fan of
        this song, so I haven't put too much work into transcribing it
        - sorry if you do like it.

[G]Well I wander round this mind amidst the
[G]Ruins of a lonely child,
[G]I used to think I talked with spirits
[G]Now I think I talk with crooks,
[G]And I wonder if I ever did
[G]Anything good at all.
[G]Ever.
[G]So I lie awake at night and vow
[G]I'm not going to think about.

I've got [C]self deception tattooed like a [G]flag across my back,
[C]Holding hands with war-mongers I [G]feel I've been betrayed,
[C]Though I dance in luxury without [G]her I'll die of thirst,
She's a [C]single perfect [G]raindrop,
[C]When she falls she takes my breath away.

Well I [G]advertise the scars of middle classness
[G]Like a shiny piece of junkmail,
[G]I've inherited the meanness
[G]Like a dinnerset kept for family gatherings,
[G]But she will scream and tell me all the
[G]Magic in her magic life,
[G]We will laugh at how I'm scared of
[G]Everything that moves lest it crash
[G]Into me or with me in it.

I've got [C]self deception tattooed like a [G]flag across my back,
[C]Holding hands with war-mongers I [G]feel I've been betrayed,
[C]Though I dance in luxury without [G]her I'll die of thirst,
She's a [C]single perfect [G]raindrop,
[C]When she falls she takes my breath away.

[C]Ah ..... What a [G]dissapointment this would all be
[C]Ah ..... What a dissapointment.

'Cause I've got [C]self deception tattooed like a [G]flag across my back,
[C]Holding hands with war-mongers I [G]feel I've been betrayed,
[C]Though I dance in luxury without [G]her I'll die of thirst,
She's a [C]single perfect [G]raindrop,
[C]When she falls she takes my breath away.

The ancient voices

Silenced by the hum,

By the fury of this emptyness,

A poem dead without meaning,

(It is) A love that never new passion -

A body without a heart.

What have we done.

Is [Bb]this where I must[Cm] lie.     [Bb]               [Cm]

The crimes run in our blood,

They shadow every step,

Step lightly my friends,

Won't you paint my face in ochre and truth,

Won't you scar my chest with wisdom,

Won't you fill my head with dreams,

Won't you bury me,

Bury me deep.

[Cm]Is [Bb]this where I must[Ab] lie.
Is [Bb]this where I must[Cm] lie.     [Bb]               [Cm]

How

I

Remember the day

She danced to the rocks there at Eden

Oh  Oh   Oh  Oh ....                         (BASS ENTERS)

(Play FILL #1 twice)

Still

I

See the man and his tyre

'neath his belly to stop him from drowning

Then he walked on water

(Play FILL #1 twice - This time with an accoustic guitar strumming D
 on the first beat of each bar)

And [Am]we
Talked there for [C]hours
About [Am]whether
Or not I be[C]lieved in [G]you
And [Am]so I looked up to the [C]mountains
And I kn[Am]ew that the dream will live [D]on

(Play FILL #1 twice - continue through verses)

Slumber

On you morning that wakes

The lovers entwined in their small tent

Oh oh oh oh ...

Hold

That

Breath you shall blow

Sending lovers from here back to Melbourne

Pass them over

Hey-ey ...

And [Am]I
Felt like a [C]good man
As I [Am]held her
There by the[C] stream  [G]
And [Am]from a snake so black she [C]fled into my arms
And I kn[Am]ew the dream will live on[D]

[No chord - spoken]
This is my prayer
[Am]Please forgive me [C]my despair[G]
And [Am]set my raging [C]spirit [G]free
And [Am]I will [C]sing for [G]you my [Am]prayer

You've [Am]laid me in her arm[C]s
You've [Am]bathed us in [C]summer light
By the [Am]look in her [C]eyes
The dream will live o[D]n

He said,[G] "I won't do a[C]ny harm"     [G]                [G]
His [G]dreams they were filled with the [C]forgiveness of spring
He [G]thanked the sky for any [C]gift
He said,[G] "I won't do any [C]harm here"

But he heard [Am]whispers as he walked past the [C]fake gold lights
"You must [G]cheat to succeed there my [C]naive child"
As he [Am]surrended he thought he did so too [C]easily
[G]Frankie cried at his very first lie

[G]       [C]       [G]       [C]

The [G]lie it was simple and it's [C]produce was great
Guilt [G]twisted it's fingers [C]around his heart
He said [G]"I did not mean any [C]harm"       [G]               [G]
But soon [G]ambition replaced all the [C]love he had known
The [G]spring wasn't rebirth but [C]prosperity now
He said [G]"I've not done many [C]things wrong"

But he heard [Am]whispers as he walked past the [C]fake gold lights
"You must [G]steal to stay here my [C]angry young man"
He said "[Am]I shan't be robbed of my [C]labour's toil"
And he [G]did not feel at his hundredth evil

[G]       [C]       [G]       [C]

Now he hears [G]condemnation in the [C]winds as they creep
[G]In through the walls of this [C]castle he's built
He says [G]"You can't touch me any [C]more"           [G]                   [G]
But the [G]cold and the hate they're just [C]one in his bones
The sweet [G]dreams of the young make him [C]angrier still
He cautions "[G]When you've done what I've done you will [C]think what I think"

[G]       [G]

But he hears [Am]whispers as he walked past the [C]fake gold lights
"You must [G]kill to stay here my [C]angry old man"
And he [Am]looks out with scorn at his [C]colourless world
[G]Frankie grins at his [C]millionth sin
[G]Frankie cried at his [C]very first lie
And he [G]did not feel at his [C]hundredth evil
Now [G]Frankie grins at his [C]millionth sin          [C]                  [C]                          [G]
