       A                    G            D
    I never was one of them money-hungry fools.
        A                                    D

Perhaps love is like a resting place
    Bm               E7 
A shelter from the storm
     A                 F#m 
It exists to give you comfort

It is there to keep you warm

The memory of love will see you thru
   C#m             F#m 
O love to some is like a cloud
    D         E        A 
To some as strong as steel
     C#m           F#m 
For some a way of living
     D      E      A 
For some a way to feel
     C#m              F#m 
And some say love is holding on
     D        E       A 
And some say letting go
     C#m             F#m        
And some say love is everything
 Bm                   E7 
Some say they don't know
         A               F#m 
Perhaps love is like the ocean
         Bm               E7 
Full of conflict full of pain
        A              F#m 
Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Bm             E7 
A thunder when it rains
   C#m              F#m 
If I should live forever
    D                    E 
And all my dreams come true
    Bm7         E7              A   E7 
My memories of love will be of you
 C#m   F#m    D   E   A 
 C#m   F#m    D   E   A 
     C#m              F#m

Dreams
Tom: D
Intro: D  Em  F#m  G  D  A  D

 

            D         Em     F#m    G
There are dreams that sail away to sea
      D                  C  A
and dreams that stay at home
            D        Em     F#m   G
There are dreams in need of company
 D          A     D
some that stand alone
            Bm        F#m     G        D
There are dreams that stay inside all day
     G     D       A
and never see the light
         Bm        Bm/a   Bm/g#     G
and if dreams come true I swear to you,
      Em       A     D
I'll dream of you tonight
        D     Em       F#m    G
In the corner bar, the local star
     D               C  A
destroys a passing chord
    D      Em      F#m    G
He sits behind the mason jar
      D        A     D
and dreams of his reward
        Bm       F#m       G          D
Then he takes a break, he counts his take --
   G      D      A
a dollar buys a beer
   Bm     Bm/a   Bm/g#    G
A quarter of his life is gone
 Em        A     D
What's he doing here?
     C                           D
Now times are hard, the old backyard
    G    D/f#   Em
is buried in cement
    Bm7    Bm7/a  Bm7/g#   F#m
The people seem afraid to dream
     Em                  A
and dreams don't cost a cent

Instrumental: 1st four lines of verse chords, then...
        Bm         Bm/a    Bm/g#    Gm
and if dreams come true, I swear to you
      Em       A      D
I'll dream of you tonight


Fall
Tom: C7+

 

   CM7             Am         Dm7           G9
Reflections in the water like shadows in my mind
CM7            Am               Dm7                G7
speak to me of passing days and nights and passing time
    CM7                 Am         Dm7             G9
The falling leaves are whispering "winter's on its way"
   CM7            Am            Dm7             G7
I close my eyes remembering the warmth of yesterday
   Dm7              G9           CM7               Am7
It seems a shame to see September swallowed by the wind
    Dm7                  G7           CM7            Am7
and more than that, it's oh so sad to see the summer end
     Dm7                G9            C              Am7
And though the changing colors are a lovely sight to see,
   Dm7             G9
if it were mine to make a change,
   G7              CM7 Am  Dm7 G9sus4
I think I'd let it be
         CM7            Am         Dm7         G7
...but I don't remember hearing anybody asking me
CM7  Am  Dm7  G9sus4  (2x)  C

places that I'm going to, places where I've been

How Can I Leave You Again?
Tom: D
Intro: D  Em  A  A7sus4
       D
In a spaceship over the mountains
        Em7        G             D
chasing rainbows in the setting sun
         G        Em7           D      Bm
leaving heart and home for the city of angels
  Em7                A
I feel my life is undone
           D
There are pathways winding below me
    Em7           G              D
In pleasure I've gone where they go
         G    Em7       D          Bm
In the quiet stillness, I can hear symphonies,
    Em7                 A
the loveliest music I know


(Chorus)
Em7        A          D    Bm
How can I leave you again?
  Em7            A        F#m7  Bm
I must be clear out of my mind
Em7       F#m               G
Lost in a storm I've gone blind
    Em7        A          D
Oh, how can I leave you again?

(Bridge)
         Em7                          D
Oh, it's been a long time since I've listened
      Em7                            D
still longer since I've walked with you
         Em7                        D
For the first time I know what I'm missing
     Em              C      A  A7sus
Some answers are no longer true..... so I

(Verse 2)
  D
question the course that I follow
    Em7        G          D
I'm doubtful, deep in despair
    G       Em7            D       Bm
My heart is filled with impossible notions
       Em7               A
Can it be you no longer care?
         D
Still I ride on the wings of a high wind
         Em7         G       D
blowing steady and strong behind me
         G       Em7         D          Bm
As the clouds surrender, my fate is for certain --
      Em7                     A
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea... but    (to chorus)

 

 

I's Rather be a Cowboy
Tom: E


 E
Jessie went away last summer,
   A                 E
a couple of months ago
After all our time together,
        A              E
it was hard to see her go
She called me right up when she arrived,
          A                E
asked me one more time to come
but livin' on an L.A. freeway
        A                E
ain't my kind of havin' fun

(Chorus)
A6                         E
  I think I'd rather be a cowboy
A6                             E
  I think I'd rather ride the range
A6                         E
  I think I'd rather be a cowboy
         B             Bsus             E
than to lay me down in love in lady's chains


(Verse 2)
  E
When we were just beginning,
        A            E
it was such an easy way
layin' back up in the mountains,
         A               E
singin' songs for sunny days  (but she got)
tired of pickin' daisies
     A                   E
and cookin' my meals for me
She can live the life she wants to, yes,
   A                    E
and it's all right with me   (to chorus)

(Interlude)
B                         A         E
  I'd rather live on the side of a mountain
        B             Bsus        A             E
  than wander through canyons of concrete and steel
B                            A             E
  I'd rather laugh with the rain and sunshine
     E           A          F#            B   Bsus
and lay down my sundown in some starry field


(Verse 3)
          E
Oh but I miss her in the morning
     A         E
when I awake alone
and the absence of her laughter
      A              E
is a cold and empty sound
But her memory always makes me smile
    A               E
and I want you to know
I love her, yes I love her
       A               E
just enough to let her go    (to chorus)

 

I Remember You

A          G#
I remember you
 A                   A7                   D
You're the one that made my dreams come true
        Dm          A
just a few kisses ago
A          G#
I remember you
 A                  A7              D
You're the one who said I love you too

Yes I do, didn't you know?

(Section 2)
D          C#             F#
I remember too a distant bell
   C#          F#           D               E
and stars that fell like a rain out'a the blue
  A                G#
When my life is through
A              A7           D   Dm
and the angels ask me to recall...
                   A
the thrill of them all... and I will
 A             D  E
tell them I remember
 C             F  G
tell them I remember
 G                G#  A
tell them I remember you

Looking for Space  
Tom: G
G      G/f#         C    D7     G        G/f#        C  D7
On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way
G        G/f#         C       D7    G  G/f#  C  D7
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
G       G/f#           C    D7 G        G/f#        C   D7
When I think that I'm moving, suddenly things stand still
G      G/f#           C        D7      G  G/f#
I'm afraid 'cause I think they always will

C         D7           C   Am

 And to find out who I am
C         D7          C            D7sus  D
 And I'm looking to know and understand
         C      D     G     C            D        G
It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there

Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
 C                        Dsus   D7
sometimes I'm deep in despair

(Verse 2)
G     G/f#       C      D7  G               G/f#    C   D7
All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems
G     G/f#         C      D7         G   G/f#  C  D7
I get lost in the sadness and the screams
G      G/f#        C     D7 G      G/f#            C  D7
Then I look in the center, suddenly everything's clear
G        G/f#         C       D7       G   G/f#
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams

(Verse 3)
G      G/f#         C    D7 G         G/f#     C  D7
On the road of experience, join in the living day

If there's an answer, it's just that it's just that way
C             D7           C   Am
 When you're looking for space

 And to find out who you are
C             D7         C                 D7sus  D
 When you're looking to try and reach the stars

Paradise
Tom: D

 

     D                 G            D
When I was a child my fam'ly would travel
                                   A7            D
down to Western Kentucky, where my parents were born
                                        G        D
and there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
                       A7           D
so many times that my mem'ries are worn

(Chorus)
     D                               G          D
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
                               A        D
down by the Green River where Paradise lay
                                     G          D
Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking
                                A7          D
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away
      D                           G              D
Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
                                 A         D
to the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
           D                                 G
where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our
                                             D
                                            rifles
                          A7            D
but empty pop bottles was all we would kill
                                             (to chorus)
          D                          G                D
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
          D                        A               D
and they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
            D                           G           
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forgotten
                                    A7          D
then they wrote it all down as the progress of man
                                             (to chorus)
        D                       G              D
When I die, let my ashes float down the Green River
                               A         D
let my soul roll on up to the Rochester Dam
         D                      G        D
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waiting
                             A7      D
just five miles away from wherever I am
                                             (to chorus)

Shipmates and Cheyenne, raindrops and cryin'

haunt the dreams of an old, old man
 /            /           /             /
Candles and churchbells, laughter and farewells
   /             /              /     /
revolve in his thoughts like a wind
  /             /          /           /
Stallions and blizzards, steelies and lizards

drift in the meadows of tim
    /            /          /         /
No sense of progression, of age or direction
    /          /        /     /
no meter, no form, no rhyme        (bass walkup to

A               G#m
I only want one more rising sun

till my daylight and darkness is done

(Verse 2
 /          /        /          /
Kingdoms uncovered, losers and lovers
    /             /         /     /
and evenings of blackberry wine
 /            /         /            /
Falling like sand, the mem'ries at hand's
    /           /           /     /
of kisses and whispers and sighs    (bass walkup
                                      to chorus)
(bass walkup, then...)

a lonesome old foggey am I

Wind in the sage sounds like heaven singing
