Four Winds
Capo 3rd fret
Intro: Em, C, G, Am, G, Am, C x4
Your cEmlass, your caste, your country, sect, your nCame or your tribe
There's pGeople always dying trying to kAmeep them alive
His bGody's decomposing in coAmntainers tonight
In an abaCndoned building where
A squEmatter's made a mural of a MeCxican girl
With fGifteen cans of spray paint in a cAmhemical swirl
She's sGtanding in the ashes at the eAmnd of the world
Four winds blCowing through her hair
But when great SAmatan's gDone, the whore of AmBabyloDn
She just cCan't susGtain the pressure wChere it's plGaced
She cAmaves
Interlude: Em, C, G, Am, G, Am, C
The BEmible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the QuC'ran is mute
If you'd bGurn them all together you'd get cAmlose to the truth still
They're poGuring over sanskrit on the iAmvy league moons
While shadows leCngthen in the sun
Cast on a sEmchool of meditation built to sCoften the times
And hGold us at the center while the sAmpiral unwinds
It's knGocking over fences, crossing pAmroperty lines
Four winds, cCry until it comes
And it's the sAmong of mDan
Slouching towards AmBethlehDem
A heart just cCan't conGtain all of that eCmpty spGace
It bAmreaks, it bDreaks, (it breaks)
Interlude: Em, C, Em, C, Em, C, D
Well, I went bEmack, I rent a Cadillac, a cCompany jet
Like a nGewly orphaned refugee, reAmtracing my steps
All the Gway to Cassadega to coAmmmune with the dead
They said, "YoCu'd better look alive"
And I was oEmff to old Dakota where a geCnocide sleeps
In the blGack hills, the bad lands, the caAmlloused east
I buGried my ballast, I mAmade my peace
With four winds, leCvelling the pines
But when great SAmatan's gDone, the whore of AmBabylDon
She just cCan't reGmain with all that oCuter sGpace
She bAmreaks, she brDeaks, she caAmves, she cDaves.
End on: Em
If The Brakeman Turns My Way
Capo 4th fret
When paGnic grips your body and your hCeart is a hummingGbird
RGaven thoughts blacken your mind until you're breCathing in reDverse
AEmll your friends and sedDatives mean weGll but mDake it woCrse
EEmvery reasCsurance just maEmgnifies the doCubt
BeEmtter find yourDself a plCace to leDvel outG
Em, D
Got a crGicket for a conscience always loCoks the other wGay
A coGcaine soul starts seeming like an eCmpty cabDaret
Hey, whEmere have all the daDncers gone? Now the mGusic doeDsn't plCay
Tried to liEmsten to the riCver but you couEmldn't shut your moCuth
Better tEmake a liDttle tiCme to leDvel outG
CI never thought of runGning
CMy feet just led the wDay
GMixed up Signals
CBullet Train
GCars are switched out in the Dcrazy rain
GI could meet you Cany place
If the BDrakemCan tuDrns my wGay
Em, D
All this auGtomatic writing I have trCied to underGstand
From a psyGchedelic angel who was tugCging on my hDand
It's an inEmfinite coinDcidence but it doGesn't fDorm a pClan
So I'm heEmaded for New EnCgland or the PEmaris of the SCouth
Gonna fEmind myDself somCewhere to leDvel outG
Em, D
Are your brGothels full, Oh Babylon, with meCrry MiddleGmen?
Never pGeer out of their periscopes from those dCeep opium dDens
All this deEmath must need a countDerweight always somGeone bDorn agCain
First a mEmother bathes her chCild then the oEmther way arCound
The Scales alEmways fiDnd a wCay to leDvel outG
CI tried to pass for noGthing
CBut my dreams gave me aDway
GMixed up Signals
CBullet Train
GPeople snuffed out in the bDrutal rain
GI could live to Cany age
If the BDrakemCan tDurns my wGay
It is an Amold world it's hard to reD7member
Like a dGime store mysCtery
I'm a reAmpeat first time offD7ender
C D (G)
Who has rewritten history
GMixed up tea leaves
CPhantom Pain
GFuzzy logic in the cDrazy rain
GGetting better eDvery day
If the BDrakemCan tuDrns my wGay
GMixed up Signals
CBullet Train
GCars are switched out in the bDlinding rain
GHe'll be smiling as he sCeals my fate
When the BDrakemCan tuDrns my wGay

Soul Singer In The Session Band
Capo 1st fret
C F C C F G C F C F G F G C
CSee the soul singer in the session baFnd C
CShredded to ribbons beneath the microphoneF stand G
CFelt the quickness of pity like a flaFsh in a panC
FFor the soul singeGr in the session Fband G C
(This chord progression is constant. So just keep playing it!)
Now a red carpet bagger makes a blackberry call
To the plastic pirhana in the city of salt
Wasted wheat paste campaign post no bills on the wall
You mean nothing to no one but that's nobody's fault
See the soul singer in the session band
Shredded to ribbons beneath the microphone stand
Felt the quickness of pity like a flash in a pan
For the soul singer in the session band
I had a lengthy discussion about the power of myth
With a postmodern author who didn't exist
In this fictitious world, our reality twists
I was a hopeless romantic, now I'm just turning tricks
Just like that soul singer in the session band
Shredded confetti beneath the microphone stand
Saw the conflicts of interest, slipping cash in the hand
Of the soul singer in the session band
Now his room is on fire since he painted it red
There's a stranger, silk sequins at the foot of the bed
He's been to weddings and funerals, but he still never wept
Now sorrow is pleasure when you want it instead
Just like our soul singer in the session band
Wailed like an infant atop a white baby grand
We'll need every sand bag and every man
To save the soul singer in the session band
C F C C F G C F C F G F G C
Headlights or taillights, it's a flip of a coin
I've been coming and going since the day I was born
And I followed the bread crumbs but I never got home
I grew old in an instant, now I'm all on my own
Just like that soul singer in the session band
Shredded to nothing beneath the microphone stand
Saw the wave of the future through the crack of the dam
Drowned the soul singer in the session band
FBless the soul sinGger in the sessioFn band G C
classic Cars
Capo 2nd fret
intro: G x4
She was a rDeal royal lady, true pGatron of the arts
Said the Ambest country singers die in the baBck of classic carGs
So if I eDver got too hungry for a sGuitcase or guitar
DTo think of them all Amalone in the Ddark
So I lDaid some nights beside her in a bGed made for a queen
AmShe said I kissed her different, that all the Bmen her age wereG mean
DGave me anything I wanted, Oh the Ggenerosity
I took alDl that I cAmould, it was fDree
Now the sDky is a torn up denim and the clGouds just splattered paint
It’s Ama room I’m renovating; it?B??s a name I Ggotta change
If I get oDut of California I’m goingG back to my home state
To tell them Dall that I Ammade a Dmistake
GAnd I keep looking for that blindfold faith
AmLighting candles to a cynical saint
DWho wants the last laugh at the Amfly trapped in the BwindowsillG tape
AmYou can go right out of your mind trying to escape
DFrom the panicked paradAmox of day to daBy G
If you can’tD understand something then it??Am?s best to be aBfraGid
DThe whole world it loves you if you’re aG chic chameleon
AmIntersecting circles she could hang with anyoBne G
But when coDnducting business she wouldG lie about where she’s from
Saying, &qDuot;Life is hoAmw it is not hDow it was"
DI learned to listen felt like I was baGck at school
AmShe’d talk forever about the phases of the mBoon G
Saying, &quDot;Everything is a cyclGe, you’ve got to let it come to you
DAnd when it does, Amyou will know Dwhat to do"
DWithout even knowing I guess I took up Gher advice
PaintedAm her front door it seemed a Bsuitable goodGbye
DIt’s not that often but I Gthink of her sometimes
Just something qDuaint, a Amcouple shDips in the night
GAnd they keep moving at a glacial pace
AmTurning circles in a memory maze
DI made a new cast of the death mAmask that’s gonnaB cover my Gface
AmI had to change the combination to the safe
Hide it aDll behind a wAmall let people waBit G
And never tAmrust a heart that is so bent it can’Dt breakB G

Lime Tree
I keep floatiGng down the river but the ocean never comeBms

You lefAmt another message said it's done, It's donCe G
When I hear Gbeautiful music it's always from another time Bm
Old frieGnds I never visit, I remember whCat they're like
StanAmding on a doorstep full of nervous buttD7erflies
WAmaiting to be asked to come inside Just Ccome inside G
But I keep go-o-Amo-o-oing out D7

Towards the mouth andG the reunion of the Known and the Unknown C
ConsidAmer yourself lucky if you think of it D7as home

You can move mountainsG with your misery if you don't, If you don't
It cGomes to me in fragments, even those still split Bmin two
Under the leavesG of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit C

There will never Ambe a time more opportune C G
So I just won'tAm be late D7
