================================================================== Track 6 - Holly Ann CAPO: 1st Fret [Intro] C F C F C F C [Verse 1] She is a weaver

Through her hands the ^Fbright thread travels Blue green water, willows weeping, ^Csilver stars

[Verse 2] She sings and sighs as the shuttle flies

Through the yarn like a Kerry ^Fdancer Pink and purple velvet red for a ^Clover's bed ^Am

[Chorus]

Living ^Emnorth of San Francis^Dmco ^C With a man who ^Fbuilt his house a^Clone ^Am Living ^Empeaceful in the ^Dmcountry The ^Clights of the Golden ^GGate will lead her ^Chome ^F ^C

[Verse 3] She is a spinner

In her hands the wooden wheel ^Fturns the wool around Then a^Cround again

[Verse 4] A gypsy from Bolinas

Sits and plays the mando^Flin Faces smile in the firelight of a ^Cfoggy night ^Am

[Chorus]

Living ^Emnorth of San Francis^Dmco ^C Sometimes it's ^Fnice to be a^Clone ^Am She says, it's ^Empeaceful where she is ^Dmliving The ^Clights of the Golden ^GGate will lead her ^Chome ^Am

[Bridge]

The baby born when I was ^Folder Her hands are light, her hair is bright as the ^Csummer sun ^Am

[Chorus]

Living ^Emnorth of San Francis^Dmco ^C Sometimes it's ^Fnice to be a^Clone ^Am She says, it's ^Empeaceful in the ^Dmcountry The ^Clights of the Golden ^GGate will lead her ^Chome The ^Clights of the Golden ^GGate will lead her ^Chome ^F ^C

================================================================== Track 7 - The Hostage [Verse 1]

I'm a ^Dmguard in the grey iron prison, at ^Gleast I was 'till ^Dmnow It was ^Gnever a picnic ^Bbsocial, never a ^Dmday They never come in laughing and you ^Gknow they never taught them ^Dmhow It was ^Gdamn hard work, and you ^Bbwouldn't believe the ^Dmpay

[Verse 2]

It was early in the morning, lord, I ^Gwasn't but half a^Dmwake When the ^Gcons went nuts, and ^Bbtook us by sur^Dmprise I never was one for shaking, but I ^Gfound it hard to ^Dmstand With a ^Gsix-inch blade held ^Bbright before my ^Dmeyes

[Verse 3]

We could hear a siren blowing, ^Gsomebody yelled in ^Dmpain Then it ^Ggot so quiet, you could ^Bbhear a bird walk ^Dmby They all had masks on their faces, and they ^Gspoke with a voice of ^DmCain "If they ^Gcome in shooting, then you ^Bbknow you're bound to ^Dmdie"

[Verse 4]

I turned to a buddy named Willie, I said "^GWillie, it'll be all ^Dmright If they ^Gmeant to kill us we'd be ^Bbhalf way down to ^DmHell

See, they high-jacked a plane in the desert

And the ^Ggovernment screamed and ^Dmcried But to ^Gsave some lives, they ^Bbopened up a prison ^Dmcell"

[Verse 5]

So the days kept coming and going, ^Gtension was getting ^Dmhigh But I ^Gwasn't too worried, I ^Bbfigured I knew the ^Dmscore I knew they were talking to someone, I ^Gknew they were willing to ^Dmtry So I ^Gfigured my freedom was a ^Bbmatter of a day or two ^Dmmore

[Verse 6]

But, Jesus, early this morning, the ^Gwhirlybird dropped the ^Dmgas It ^Gmade me puke and it ^Bbbrought me to my ^Dmknees The bullets came like hailstones, I ^Gheard the first ones ^Dmpass Then they ^Gcut down Willie, and they ^Bbgot Jim Kelly and ^Dmme

[Verse 7]

They come in yelling curses, like they were ^Gcrossing the River ^DmRhine ^GShot down every ^Bbgoddamned thing they ^Dmsaw And while I lay there wounded, I ^Gtook another one in my ^Dmspine ^GPoor Jim Kelly took a^Bbnother one in his ^Dmjaw

[Verse 8]

They say we had our throats cut by a ^Gband of desperate ^Dmmen ^GSay they saved as ^Bbmany of us as they ^Dmcould Well, the governor he should know it, but I ^Gthink I'll say it a^Dmgain That the ^Ggovernor cut my ^Bbthroat and he cut it ^Dmgood

[Verse 9]

Let them take the governor, hold ^Ghim for a couple of ^Dmdays ^GSee who goes in ^Bbshooting to set him ^Dmfree Hell, they'd open every jail in the country, they'd ^Gsend them on their ^Dmway They'd ^Gnever do to ^Bbhim what the governor done to ^Dmme

================================================================== Track 8 - Song For Martin [Intro} C G Bb F C [Verse 1]

In Red Rock, Ari^Fzona, he ^Glived for many years alone ^F A gangly kid from Colorado, who could sing the sweetest ^Csongs I first heard Woody's ^Fsongs from him^G in a cabin in the snow ^F Seems like it was yesterday, but it was years and years ^Cago

[Verse 2]

He moved to Ari^Fzona in ^GNineteen Sixty-One ^F Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the ^Csun My life was movin' ^Ffast by now,^G I was always on the run ^F My country life was far behind^C and the circus had begun ^Em

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

I knew that me and ^FMarty,^G we should have been good friends ^F I always knew the paths we walked, were meant to cross a^Cgain We talked on the ^Ftelephone ^Gonce or twice a year ^F His voice was so familiar, his memory was ^Cclear

[Verse 4]

I'll never know what ^Fbrought him to ^Gwhere he finally stood ^F A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the ^Cwoods But somehow I could ^Fhear it, it ^Gstruck my heart as well For the ^Funknown man who needs a hand,^C for the friend I'll never know ^Em

[Chorus]

Marty, I know it got ^Amlonely out ^Fthere ^AmCoyotes cryin' at midnight in the ^Ccold desert air The ^Emheart that sorrow broke in you can ^Amnever be re^Fpaired ^EmMart, I know ^AmI let you down^F somewhere ^Em ^Am ^F ^C

================================================================== Track 9 - [Verse 1]

One ^Emmorning in Bolivia The leader ^Bmof the parti^Csans And two of his com^Empanions Were forced to flee the mountains ^Cfor their ^Dlives

[Verse 2]

Through ^Emgreen and dusty villages They sped a^Glong the little ^Emroads The peasants smiled and shouted as they ^Ghurried ^Cby ^EmJesus called out to everyone, "Don't think that we are leaving They only ^Dtried to frighten us with guns, we shall re^Cturn" ^G

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your ^Cwork ^G Continue with your ^Ctalk ^Eb You have it in your ^Ghands ^Eb To own your lives, to own your ^Emlands

[Verse 3]

The people smiled and shouted and they ran along a ^Dlittle ^Emwhile Then stood and watched, their hands were restless and empty The ^Bmbody of Je^Emsus was in the jeep That they blew up before it ^Dreached the ^Cplane The ^Bmpriest was proud to ^Cbless him For ^Dwhat there was of him re^Gmaining in the after^Cnoon

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your ^Cwork ^G Continue with your ^Ctalk ^Eb You have it in your ^Ghands ^Eb To own your lives, to own your ^Emlands

[Chorus 2]

There is no one who can ^Cshow you ^G The road you should be ^Con ^Eb They only tell you, they can ^Gshow you ^Eb And then tomorrow they are ^Emgone

[Verse 4]

The smell of oil and incense fill the ^Droom in this adobe ^Emhut Where on the ^Dtable lies the body of a ^Cman His ^Emface is pale and ^Bmyoung, his beard is dark and ^Emcurled Pennies hold his ^Deyelids from the ^Emevening ^Clight ^Em

[Verse 5]

People from the village, those who ^Bmknew him, those who killed ^Emhim Stand inside the door, their hands are restless and empty They watch the priest make silent ^Dcrosses in the ^Cair And pray to god in^Emside their hearts for their own souls ^G

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your ^Cwork ^G Continue with your ^Ctalk ^Eb You have it in your ^Ghands ^Eb To own your lives, to own your ^Emlands

[Chorus 2]

There is no one who can ^Cshow you ^G The road you should be ^Con ^Eb They only tell you, they can ^Gshow you ^Eb And then tomorrow they are ^Emgone

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your ^Cwork ^G Continue with your ^Ctalk ^Eb You have it in your ^Ghands ^Eb To own your lives, to own your ^Emlands

[Chorus 2]

There is no one who can ^Cshow you ^G The road you should be ^Con ^Eb They only tell you, they can ^Gshow you ^Eb And then tomorrow they are ^Emgone

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your ^Cwork ^G Continue with your ^Ctalk ^Eb You have it in your ^Ghands ^Eb To own your lives, to own your ^Emlands

[Chorus 2]

There is no one who can ^Cshow you ^G The road you should be ^Con ^Eb They only tell you, they can ^Gshow you ^Eb And then tomorrow they are ^Emgone

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your ^Cwork ^G Continue with your ^Ctalk ^Eb You have it in your ^Ghands ^Eb To own your lives, to own your ^Emlands
