^GDon't call pretty Peggy, ^CShe can't hear you no ^Gmore

Don't leave no message

^CRound her back ^Gdoor They say the ^Cold laughing lady

Been here be^Gfore She ^Ddon't keep time ^C

She don't count ^Gscore G C G

^GYou can't have a cupboard ^CIf there ain't no ^G wall

You got to move

^CThere's no time for you to stall C 020010 Am They say the old laughing lady

Dropped ^Cby to ^Dcall ^G And ^Dwhen she leaves ^Am

She leaves ^Cnothing at ^Gall

verse: (without the run through Am)

^GSee the drunkard of the village ^CFallin' on his ^Gfeet

He can't tell his ankle

^CFrom the rest of his ^Gfeet C 020010 Am He loves his old laughing lady

Because the ^Ctaste is so ^Gsweet ^Bm But the ^Dlaughin' lady's loving

Ain't the ^Amkind he can ^Ckeep ^G D Am C G

There's a ^Gfever on the freeway ^CBlacks out the ^Gnight

There's a slippin' on the stairway

Just ^Cdon't feel right ^G There's a ^Crumblin' in the bedroom

And a ^Cflashin' of ^Glight ^DThere's the old laughing lady

Every^Cthing is all right ^G ^DThere's the old laughing lady

Every^Cthing is all right ^G D Am C G

notes: the quick change to C and G at the end on many lines is omitted it occurs everywhere but 'if there ain't no wall / you got to move...' the run through from C to Am via the B note is a familiar ny trick... @2 Mr. Soul : Unplugged (Tune the guitar down to D) E E E E

^EOh hello Mr. Soul I droped by to pick up a reason For the ^Ethought that I'd caught that my head is the event of the season

Why in ^Acrowds just a trace of my face should seem so ^Epleasin' I'll ^Dcop out to the change but a ^Astranger is putting the ^Etease on

D G D x2 I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her Any girl in the world could have esaily known me better She said 'You're stange, but don't change' and I let her D In a while well the smile on my face turned to plaster Stick around while the clown who was sick does the trick of disaster For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster Is it strange I should change' I don't know - why don't you ask her

Is it ^Dstrange I should change' I don't ^Aknow Is it ^Dstrange I should change' I don't ^Aknow

^FYou can say the soul is gone And the ^Dm/Gfeelings just not there

^BbNot like it ^Cwas so long a^Fgo ^C ^Bb ^C On the ^Fempty page before you

You can ^Dm/Gfill in what you care ^BbTry to make it ^Cgood before you ^Fgo ^C ^Bb ^C

Take the simple case of the sarge Who wouldn't go back to war Because the hippies tore down every - Thing that he was fighting for Or the lovers on the blanket The city turned to whores With memories of green kissed by the sun You can say the soul is gone And close another page Just be sure that yours is not the one F C Bb C

And I'm ^Bbsinging for the ^Fstringman Who ^Bblately lost his ^Fwife

There ^Bbis no dearer ^Dmfriend of mine That ^CI know in this ^Flife

On his shoulder is a violin For his head where chaos reigns But his heart can't find a simple way To live with all those things

All those ^Fthings ^C ^Bb ^C He's a ^Fstringman ^C ^Bb ^C

F C Bb C A stringman F C Bb C

^FThere's somewhere safer where the feelings stay. I wanna love you but I'm getting blown a^Amway. ^G ^F ^Em ^G

I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, And you could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips, that Perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us and our foggy trips. chorus: chorus: notes: from the decade file by inges@''' pulled off alt.guitar.tab chords as on the 'everybody knows this is nowhere' album. @7 The Needle and the Damage Done : Unplugged D DaddC Em7 Gm+Bb C F Esus4 E D DaddC I caught you knocking at my cellar door, Em7 Gm+Bb I love you baby can I have some more

She used to ^Gwork in a diner, never saw a woman look finer I used to order just to see her float across the ^Cfloor.

She grew up in a ^Csmall ^Gtown, never put her ^Croots ^Gdown. Daddy kept movin so she did ^Ctoo.

chorus:

Somewhere on a ^Cdesert ^Ghighway, she rides a ^CHarley ^GDavidson Her long blonde hair flyin' in the ^Cwind.

She's been runnin ^Chalf of her ^Glife. The chrome and ^Csteel she ^Grides,

Collidin' with the very air she ^Cbreathes, the air she ^Gbreathes.

^CLook out for my love Em(7) It's in your neighbourhood

^AmI know things are gonna change But I ^Gcan't say good or bad

Silver wings of morning Shining in the grey day While the ice is forming On a lonely runway Hydraulic wipers pumping Till the window glistens Something saying something But no one seems to listen Men wth walkie-talkies Men with flash-lights waving Up upon the tower Time reads daylight savings I'm home again to you babe You know it makes me wonder Sittin' in the quiet slipstream In the thunder

chorus:

^DLong may you ^A/Drun, ^Glong may ^Dyou run, ^BmAlthough these ^Gchanges have ^Acome.

^DWith your chrome heart ^A/Dshinin' ^Gin the ^Dsun, ^Bmlong ^Amay you ^Drun.

G Bb Well it was back in Blind River in nineteen sixtytwo When I last saw you alive. But we missed that ship on the long decline. Long may you run. chorus: D Dsus4 D verse: Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now With those waves singin' Caroline.

^GFrom Hank to ^BmHendrix, ^CI walked these streets with ^Amyou. ^EmHere I am with this ^Gold guitar, ^Cdoing what I ^Amdo.

^GI always ex^Bmpected, ^Cthat you would see me ^Amthrough. ^EmI never be^Glieved in much, ^Cbut I believed in ^Amyou. ^G

chorus:

^FCan we get it together, can we ^Cstill stand side by ^Gside. ^FCan we make it last, ^Clike a musical ^Gride'

From Marilyn to Madonna, I always loved your smile, Now we're headed for the big divorce, California style. I found myself singin' like a long lost friend The same thing that makes you live can kill you in the end. chorus: Sometimes its distorted not clear to you. Sometimes the beauty of love just comes ringin' through. New glass in the window, new leaf on the tree, new distance between us you and me. chorus: notes: use G 320033 or Giii rather than a straight open G' as on the 'harvest moon' album
