Daniel 
Tom: C
    C                                Dm
    Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane.
    G                             E7            Am
    I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
           F             G              Am
    oh and, I can see Daniel waving goodbye.
           F                G7                         C
    God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes.
    C                                          Dm
    They say Spain's pretty, though I've never been.
       G                                      E7   Am
    Well Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen.
           F          G                       Am
    Oh and, he should know, he's been there enough.
        F            G7                 C
    God I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much.
    C   F                           C
    Oh, Daniel my brother, you are, older than me.
                 F                     C
    Do you still feel the pain, of the scars that won't heal?
                   Am                          Em7
    Your eyes have died, but you see more than I.
    Fm               C    A7                  Dm7 G7
    Daniel, you're a star, in the face of the sky.

Empty Garden
Tom :A
 
A
What happened here
                           E
As the New York sunset disappeared
      B                                         C#m
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
    A
Who lived here
                                         E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
                                          B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
                       C#m
And now it all looks strange
                    B/A A           B               E
It's funny how one in-    sect can damage so much grain
    A
And what's it for
                                             E
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
                                B                 C#m
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
    A
Who lived here
                                           E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
                                          B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
    C#m                                         B/A  A
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
            B                          E
A gardener like that one no one can replace
Chorus:
         A                            E
And I've been knocking but no one answers
         A                           C#m  (G#m  C#m)
And I've been knocking most all the day
            F#m                       C#m
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Johnny
              A  B        E
Can't you come out   to play
    A
And through their tears
                                          E
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
                                         B               C#m
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
     A
Who lived there
                                         E
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
                                         B
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
               C#m                               B/A  A
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
   B                E
We hear, we hear your name
**Chorus Twice
F#m     A               B                           E
Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden

trees and  mountains/  Flowers  and forest, fontains

skyway  /  For this dark  and lonely room

projects a shadow  castin' gloom 
                E7               G 
And my eyes  are mirrors  of the world  outside  
             D
Thinking of the way  
A7                  D 
that the wind can turn the side  
            G                  A7            D
And  these shadows  turn from purple into grey 
              G              A7 
For just a  skyline pigeon  dreaming   
               D
of the open, wainting for the day 
        G                  A7           D 
He can spread his wings  and fly away again   
F#7   Bm    C#7
 Fly away , skyline pigeon

fly  towards the dreams  you've  left so 
D     A7    D
very far behind 
            D 
Just let me wake up in the morning / 
       A/C#
To the smell of new-mown hay 
              G             A7             D       
to laugh and cry to live and die  In the brightness of my day 
          D7 
I want to hear the peeling bells of distant 
G                                D
churches  sing  / But most of all please 
         A7                D 
free  me from this aching metal ring  / 
    G              A7              D
And open out this cage towards the sun .

 

I  guess that`s why they call it the blues

G                             Em                F        C   F C F C F

 Between  you and me I could

honestly say that  things can only get better

And while I'm  away

dust the demons inside   and  it  won't be

And   I guess  that's why they call it the blues /
               C              G               F 
Time  on my   hands  could be time spent with you

 Laughing like children Living like lovers   Rolling

like  thunders  under  the covers and  I guess 
                G            C     Em   F 
that's why they call it the blues

Live for each second whitout  hesitation

Wait on me girl , cry at  night  it helps

The Last Song
Tom: C
C             Am
Yesterday  you came to lift me  up 
    F                   C
 As light as straw and brittle  as a bird 
  Dm                  Am
Today I weigh   less than a shadow on the wall 
         G           C    Am7         G/B
 Just one more whisper  of a voice Unheard
C             Am
Tomorrow  leave the windows  open
     F                   C
 As fear  grows please hold me in your arms
Dm                  Am
Won't  you help  me if you can to shake this anger
  G           C    Am7         G/B
I need your gentle hands  to keep me calm
           C
 'cause  I never thought  I'd lose  
   G/B
I only thought I'd win 
  Am                                        Em/G 
I never dreamed  I'd feel  this fire  beneath my   skin
               F
I can't believe you love me 
                C              Am
I never thought  you'd come 
                   C/G 
I guess I misjudeaged  love

Between  a father and his son  
BRIDGE:     C   Am    F  G 
C                 Am
Things we never said come together

 The hidden truth no longer haunt  me
Dm                         Am
Tonight  we touched  on the things that were never spoken 
        G              C     Am7     G/B
That kind of understanding sets  me free

Eb             Bb/D
To the wild outdoors

1.   Hey, Nikita, is it cold in your little corner of the world ?
                     D              - D7
    You could roll around the globe,
                             G              - G7
    and never find a warmer soul to know.
                         C                              G
    Oh I saw you by the wall, ten of your tin soldiers in a row,
                                D             - D7
    with eyes that looked like ice on fire,
                               G             - G7
    the human heart a captive in the snow.
                     C                    G
Oh Nikita, you will never know anything about my home,
                                      D              
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you, 
           D7     G            - G7
oh, no, Nikita I need you so.
                     C                       G
Oh Nikita, it`s the other side of any given line in time,
                                D              D7          G
counting ten tin soldiers in a row,  oh no, Nikita you'll never know.
                         C                                G
2. Do you ever dream of me, do you ever see the letters that I write,
                                  D
    when you look up through the wire,
            D7                 G           - G7
    Nikita, do you count the stars at night.
                          C                              G
    And if there comes a time, guns and gates no longer hold you in,
                                   D       - D7
    and if you're free to make a choice,
                                    G             - G7
    just look towards the west and find a friend.      + REFRAIN 

 

Crocodile Rock
Tom: G
        G                                     
1. I remember when rock was young,

    me and Susie had so much fun,
             C                              
    Holding hands and skimmin' stones,
           D
    had a old gold Chevy & a place of my own.
            G                           
2. But the biggest kick I ever got,
                  Bm
    was doin' a thing called the Crocodile Rock.
               C                                                    
    While the other kids were rockin' 'round the clock,
             D
    we were hoppin' and  boppin' to the Crocodile Rock, well.
  Em                                                
    Crocodile Rockin' is something shockin',
               A7
    when your feet just can't keep still.
D7                                      G
    I never had me a better time and I guess I never will.
E                                                
    Oh, Lawdy mamma, those Friday nights 
          A7
    when Susie wore her dresses tight and
D7                                    C         G - Em - C - D    
    the Crocodile Rockin' was out of sight
            G                          
3. But the years went by and rock just died, 
           Bm
    Susie went & left me for some  foreign guy,
     C                                   
    long nights cryin' by the record machine ,
      D
    dreamin' of my Chevy & my old blue jeans .
                G                                      
4. But they'll never kill the thrills we've got,
             Bm
     burnin' up to the Crocodile Rock,
              C                             
    learning fast till the weeks went past, 
                D
    we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well.

          Bm    D                         Em
 boy  if  I did    I'd   buy    a big  house  where 
G                          (  A4  A) 
    we both could  live

My  gift  is  my  song   and  this  one's  for  you

D               G7+   A/C#                       F#m7

but the sun's  been  quite, kind

they're  blue

anyway  the thing  is   / What  I really mean

1.              It's a little bit funny,        this feeling inside,
a                    C             Am            F
    I'm not one of those who can        easily hide.
C                      G           Em              Am
    I don't have much money, but ,     boy, if I did,
C                  Dm           F                  G    ~
    I'd buy a big house where,      we both could live.
  C               F              G              Em
2.   If I was a sculptor, but,       then again no,
          Am             C             Am                F
    or a man who makes potions in a       travelling show.
            C                    G                  e         Am
    Well,       I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do,
C                  Dm         F                   C  - F - C
    my gift is my song and       this one's for you.
G                     Am         Dm                F
    And you can tell everybody     this is your song,
G              Am                  Dm                 F
    it may be quite simple, but      now that it's done,
Am                           G
    I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
Am                       F
    that I put down in words :
         C         Dm              F             G       C-F-G-F
    How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.
   C                F     G                      Em
3.    I sat on the roof      and kicked off the moss,
             Am          C                   Am             F
    well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
C                             G     Em                      Am
    But the sun's been quite kind,      while I wrote this song
C                        Dm        F                    G    
    It's for people like you that        keep it turned on.
   C                   F        G                      Em
4.    So excuse me forgetting,      but these things I do,
Am                    C                 Am                F
    you see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
C                  G              Em        Am
    Anyway,  the thing is ,  what I really mean :
C                   Dm             F              C  - F - C
    Yours are the sweetest eyes       I've ever seen.
G                    Am         Dm                F
    And you can tell everybody     this is your song,
G              Am                  Dm                F
    it may be quite simple, but      now that it's done,
Am                           G
    I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
Am                       F
    that I put down in words :
         C         Dm              F             G       
    How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.
Am                           G
    I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
Am                       F
    that I put down in words :
         C         Dm              F             C      -F-G-F-C
    How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.
