Verse 1
C
G
You asked me to jump the forty
C
-five measured feet into the water
G
But I'm no folly built for your lazy pleasure
C
If only it were so
G
Bm
Your hands were fairly stone -cold
G
C
as you placed them on my neck
We climbed on the train at
Burnham
Bm
G
We anchored our city loving
C
to our oral past
D
High above the fields of
Killar
Cranky
Bm
C
We made up rhymes and names
for passing polite strangers
G
You dared me out of earshot,
C
faces beamed behind backs
D
McGregor pulling on his lead to
climb more snowed -up steps
C
My winter jacket cast me out as
G
a well -dressed loon
Existing on the margins,
C
exciting to be sharing
G
C
Christmas with you all
G
I thought I'd see you up the
Berks of
C
Aberfeldy as if some common thoughts
would bring us together ten
G
years later for nothing really
C
just to look, just to drink you in
G
i carry a memory like a bag full of feathers
C
once stuck in the back of my
G
C
throat but now a warm and dream
D
and i'm more concerned about keeping the
C
neighbor's cat out of my garden than
who you may be or you may not be
G
fucking and who may be
C
dancing a jig in the middle
D
as stupid as I was believing
in fate and fairness
C
and all the big questions I could not answer
G
so I busied myself with the flippancy
C
Em
D
G
of art
C
Em
D
G
C
G
The genius is the subtlety
of the waves
Lapping on the shore,
C
slowly taking over the
dry shell
G
C
With its salty tongue, like a lounge singer
G
An up per -tier nonchalance,
C
G
I'm caring for the land it's reclaiming I'm caring for the crowds it's destroying
C
The next day I shall walk in its wake
D
Discovering the bones in the pottery,
C
once it made it above the shoreline
Penguin visits the coast,
G
hoping to be recognized by
Descendants of descendants,
C
and taken and unloved
D
Discovering the bones and the pottery,
C
once a native of this shoreline
Penguin visits the coast,
G
hoping to be recognized by
Descendants of descendants,
C
D
G
and taken and unloved
C
Baltimore, sailed, hoping to escape my temper I put you in a song,
I wrapped you up with
cotton wool
G
Cast here as an angel,
C
battling the demons
G
Cold -bloodedly,
you took your opportunity
North
C
London,
Hogmanay, the year my faith
The was shattered,
G
C
a sunken city came alive with fireworks
D
Eager to please, I sang like a stranger
C
And me and my tape friends,
we drank you under the table
G
And the music you swore by was nothing,
C
it was terrible
D
Scared with a noise, if you're shrieking
C
The dog chased ghosts in the kitchen
He tore up the newspapers
and ate all the jam
G
An d the glassware you collected was smashed and
C
Em
D
G
lilting on the floor.
C

C
G
The sadness hoops through me
like a stubborn sea wind
C
When I'm feeling my worst and
the best news in the world
G
Fails to move me,
C
I cannot bear your touch or the share of words
G
Or gossip or humour,
well that's when I need you most
C
Just to be here,
to be quiet and warm and free with a drink
G
Until I forget such moments exist
C
D
When the high rolls in,
it's just a question of waiting it out
C
And that's when the music
I swear gets me through
G
C
I close my eyes and everything is okay
D
When the high rolls in,
C
it's just a question of waiting things out
And that's when the music,
I swear, gets me through
G
I close my eyes,
C
G
C

and everything's okay
Baltimore, we sailed,
hoping to escape my temper

London,
G
Hogmanay, the air my faith was shattered

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
