This is a full album tab for Richard Shindell's album/compilation "13 Songs You May or May Not Have Heard
Before." Please bear in mind that he is a folk singer, and therefore many versions of these songs exist. I
have written down here the way that I play them, but I strongly encourage you to mess around with them and
add as many hammer-ons and pull-offs as you can manage. If you have questions, leave them in the comments
or on my user page.
Thanks.

You stay here, I'll go look for bread.

Dry your eyes, I'll be all right. I know where they've laid the mines.

You stay here, I'll go look for coats.
There may still be some out on the road.

We'll wash them clean with melted snow. The kids don't ever have to know.

You stay here, I'll go look for guns.
I think I know where they've hidden some.

'Cause if a tiger comes one night we won't go without a fight.

You stay here, I'll go look for God.
It's not so hard 'cause I know where he's not.
[Chorus]
I will bring him back with me. Make him listen, make him see.
[Verse]
You stay here, I'll go look for wood.

[Intro]
[Verse]
TheB merge from the turnpike was murder, but its never a cinch
BIt was Friday at five, and no one was giving anC inch
They Csqueezed and the edged and they Dglared
CHalf them clearly Dimpaired by Crage or exhaustion
(one strum)
The rest were just touchy as hell
[Break]
[Verse]
BSomewhere near Paterson everything slowed to a crawl
BThe all-news station was thanking someone for theC call
Its a Cvan from St. Agness Dchoir
There's a Cnun out there changing a Dtire
C (one strum)
By the time they got by her, tempers were out of control
[Break]
[Chorus]
AmSo they all hit the gas in a dash for position
CBobbing and weaving and flashing their highbeams
EmFliping the bird and screaming obscenities
C (one strum)
A well-insured hoard hell-bent on Saturday
[Break]
[Verse]
AndB so they continued west-bound and into the sun
BLaw and decorum constraining nary aC one
By Cthen it was devil-mayD-care
CNot a-one even vaguelyD aware
C (one strum)
That they'd come all the way to the Delaware Water Gap
[Break]
[Chorus]
AmBut how had it happened? They had all missed their exits
CHow had it happened? Was it some kind of vortex?
EmAnd in they all went, bumper to bumper
CFaster and faster, no sign of a trooper
GIn they all went, like sheep to the slaughter
DBankers and carpenters, doctors and lawyers
EmAnd in they all went, families in minivans
CDemocrats, republicans, weekend militiamen
GThey followed the river, and rounded the bend
DBetween Minsi and Tammany and into their destinies
EmLying in ambush right their before them
CThe angry old sun right on the horizon
[Break]
[Verse]
BSister Maria tightened the bolts of the spare
BShe said a quick prayer and put the old van intoC gear
ThankC God that the traffic wasD light
If sheC hurried she might not beD late
C (one strum)
For that evenings performance at the state penetentiary
[Break]
[Chorus]
AmShe entered the common room and their was her choir
CAltos and baritones, basses and tenors
EmCar thieves and crack dealers, mobsters and murderers
CHusbands and sons, fathers and brothers
GAnd so it began in glorious harmony
DSoftly and Tenderly calling for you and me
EmWith the interstate whining way off in the distance
CAnd the sun going down through the bars of the prison
GThey poured out their souls, they poured out their memories
DThey poured out their hopes for whats left of eternity
EmTo sister Maria her soul like a prism
C (one strum)
For the light of forgiveness on all of their faces
[Break]

Your next of kin
C D* Em D C
I know which house she's hiding in
C D* Em D C D*
So now that you know whose skin you're saving
Em D C D*
In this photograph, who's this one waving?
I think youEm know, so Dspeak up, Camigo
[Chorus]
It saysG here that by trade you were aD fisherman
Well I'll bet youEm Indians can really reel theCm in
And if you get theD chance
You shouldG try to get up to LakeD Michigan
C D*
Well maybe, but then again....
[Verse]
C D* Em D
Where were we then?
C D* Em D
Is he your friend?
C D* Em D C
Well I recommend that you look again
C D* Em D
Where does he stay?

What is his name?
C D* Em D C
There is no shame. He'd do the same
C D* Em D C D*
So what do you say? I don't have all day
Em D C D*
It's up to you. Which will it be
Good Emcitizen orD poor caCmpesino?
[Chorus]
My Gdad used to rent us this place inD Ontario
He showed us Emhow to cast the line and tie theC flies
He used toD say that God rewGards us for letting theD small ones go
C D*
Well maybe, but I don't know...anyway
[Verse]
C D* Em D
It's easy to bite. You just take the bait
C D* Em D C
Don't snap the line. You can't fight the hook
D* Em D C
Hurts less if you don't try to dive
[Chorus]
GSenor, as you know I was aD fisherman
And how full theEm nets came in
We hauled them up by Chand
But when weD fled, I lGeft them just out past theD coral reefs
C D*
They're waiting there for me...running deep

Intro: G D Em C / G D C C
[Verse]
I saw them Gstanding in the Drain
EmOut on Seventh AveCnue
He held her Gclose, like she might Dfall if he let Cgo C
He helped her Gin, he shut the Ddoor
And our Emeyes met in the Cmirror
"To EngleGwood, just take it Dslow" is all he Gsaid C G
[Chorus]
And into the Cstream we pulled aEmway
I know it Dwell, this old balClet
Finding the Cflow, minding the Emsway
Catching Ggreen lights all the Cway C
[Verse]
Up AmsterGdam, the meter Ddark
EmI turned off the radCio
She whispered "GThanks, I could not Dbear another Cword." C
Out on the Gbridge, the traffic Dslowed
EmThe brake lights and the Cwash
Of all those Gtruckers heading Dsouth on ninety-Gfive C G
[Chorus]
And across the Cspan we pulled aEmway
I know it Dwell, this old balClet
Finding the Cflow, minding the Emsway
Catching Ggreen lights all the Cway C
And I brought them Dhome
I brought them Emhome C
I brought them Ghome in that Dcruel, cruel Grain D C C
[Bridge]
And now it's Gspring, and where's the Drain
EmAll the wells are running Cdry
And the Greservoirs have Dreached an all-time Clow C
And if this Gred light ever Dturns
EmIf I can make it through the Cpark
I'll head upGtown for the Dlast fare of the Gday C G
[Chorus]
And turn it Cdoes, I pull aEmway
I know it Dwell, this old balClet
Finding the Cflow, minding the Emsway
Catching Ggreen lights all the Cway C
[Verse]
And there they Gare, outside St. DLuke's
EmWith their flowers and Cballoons
All aGmazement at the Dbaby in her Carms C
As AmsterGdam makes us a Dplace
EmI ask about her Cname
And we all Glaugh when he says DHope and she says GGrace C G
[Chorus]
And then it Cstarts, the heavens Emgive
I know it Dwell, this old balClet
Finding the Cflow, minding the Emsway
Catching Ggreen lights all the Cway C
I brought them Dhome
I brought Emthem home C
I brought them Ghome in that Dsweet, sweet Emrain C
I brought them Ghome in that Dsweet, sweet Grain C G

[Verse]
DYou took the toaster when you went
GYou never paid your half the rent
DYou took the spices from the rack
GBut you dont have to put them back
EmCause in your haste on Halloween
AYou left your camera on the bed
EmWhere we played roles in black andG white
You left a role of black andEm white
I set the timer and thought ofA you
And put the lense up to myEm head
I took a photograph forG you
What comes out gray is reallyD red
[Chorus]
AAreEm yoGu happy Dnow?
AAreEm yoGu happy Dnow?
AAreEm yoGu happy Dnow?
[Break]
[Verse]
DI smashed your pumpkin on the floor
GThe candle flickered at my feet
DAs goblins flew across the mooon
GThe children peered into theEm room
A cowboy shivered on theA porch
As Cinderella checked her Emwatch
A hobo waited in the Gstreet
An angel whispered "trick-orEm-treat"
But what was I supposed toA do
But to sit there in theEm dark?
I was amazed to think thatG you
Could take the candy with youD too
[Chorus]
AAreEm yoGu happy Dnow?
AAreEm yoGu happy Dnow?
AAreEm yoGu happy Dnow?
[Break]
[Verse]
DI've sat all night and now it's Gdawn
And I cannot believe myD eyes
There's garbage strewn across theG lawn
Where we once stared up at theEm sky

[Verse]
D A Em G*
Must've been in late September
D A G A G*
When last I climbed Reunion Hill
D* A Em G*
I fell asleep on Indian Boulder
D A G* A* D
And dreamed a dream I will not tell
A G* D
I came home as the sun went down
A G* A
One eye trained upon the ground
D A G2 G*
Even now I find their things
D A G* A D
Glasses, coins, and golden rings
[Break]
[Verse]
D A Em G*
It's ten years since that ragged army
D A G A G*
Limped across these fields of mine
D* A Em G*
I gave them bread, I gave them brandy
D A G* A* D
But most of all I gave them time
A G* D
My well is deep, the water pure
A G* A
The streams are fed by mountain lakes
D A G2 G*
I cleaned the brow of many a soldier
D A G* A D
Dousing for my husband's face
[Break]
[Bridge]
Em G* G2
I won't forget our sad farewell
Em G* A
And how I ran to climb that hill
DJust to watch him walG3k across theA valley
EmAnd disappearG inAto the Dtrees
[Break]
[Verse]
D A Em G*
Along there in a sea of blue
D G A G*
It circles every afternoon
D* A Em G*
A single hawk in God's great sky
D A G* A* D
Looking down with God's own eyes
A G* D
He soars above Reunion Hill
A G* A
I pray he spiral higher still
D A G2 G*
As if from such an altitude
D A G* A D
He might just keep our love in view
