I know that the chords are already here, but some are missing and some of them are adequate at best. So I figured I would do a proper list of chords/tabs, if not for everyone else, for myself. It's not intended to completely transcribe the album, it's more of a sit around and singalong sort of thing. Enjoy. RANDOM RULES

^CIn 19^Em84 I was ^Fhospitalized for ^Capproaching perfection. ^CSlowly screwing my ^Emway across Europe,^F they had to make a ^Ccorrection. ^CBroken and ^Emsmokin' where the infrared ^Fdeer plunge in the digit^Cal snake. ^CI tell you, they make it so you ^Emcan't shake hands^F when they make your han^Cds shake.

^DmI know you like to^Fmaj7 line dance, ^DmEverythings so democratic and ^Fmaj7cool, ^DmBut baby there's ^Fmaj7no guidance when r^Candom rules.

^CI know that a ^Emlot of what I say has been l^Fifted off of men's room w^Calls. ^CMaybe I've c^Emrossed the wrong rivers and ^Fwalked down all the wrong^C halls. ^CBut nothing can ^Emchange the fact that we ^Fused to share a^C bed ^Cand that's why it ^Emscared me so when you ^Fturned to me and^C said:

^Dm"Yeah, you look^Fmaj7 like someone ^DmYeah you look like ^Fmaj7someone who up and left me low. ^DmBoy, you look ^Fmaj7like somene I u^Csed to know."

[PLAY VERSE CHORDS DURING SOLO]

^CI asked the ^Empainter why the ^Froads are^C colored black. ^CHe said, "Steve, ^Emit's because people leave and no ^Fhighway will bring them ^Cback." ^CSo if you don't ^Emwant me, I ^Fpromise not^C to linger, ^CBut before I go I ^Emgotta ask you dear about the ^Ftan line on ^Cyour ring finger.

^DmNo one should have tw^Fmaj7o lives, ^Dmnow you know my ^Fmaj7middle names are wrong and right. ^DmHoney we've got two ^Fmaj7lives to ^Cgive tonight.

--- NIGHT SOCIETY I'm not going to get too deep with this one, it's just riffs and whatnot over this progression: C D Em D C And you hold the last C. If somebody wants to tab it, go ahead, but I can't really imagine too many people being pissed that they miss out on playing this one. --- FEDERAL DUST (slide up to A, then G) Bass riff (I just play it on guitar): |-------------|-------------| |-------------|--------2----| |--------2-4--|----------4--| |--0-2h4------|--0-2h4------| repeat as necessary

With the verses in this song whenever the Bbm is played there tends to be a hammering on between a Bbmsus2 and the Bbm. If you know what that means, good. If you don't, well, it's not really that important. --- PEOPLE The verse Emaj7 in this song is played as this: xxx444 VERSE

^Amaj7Moment

s ^Emaj7can be monuments to you If your life is interesting and true. It's just the same for a man or a girl, The meaning of the world lies outside thw world.

People love people and they understand if you wanna renovate your background mind (a federal woman needs a municipal man) people gotta synchronize to animal time.

^EYou can't ^B7change the feeling but you can ^Echange your feelings ^B7about the feeling in a ^Esecond or two... Ahhh^B7 (hold B7) E People always come around.

^EI'm studying the ^B7ceiling on a little a^Efternoon and ^B7when I paint my ^Edining room Ahhhh^B7 people gonna come a^Eround.

^Amaj7I love

t^Emaj7o see a rainbow from a garden hose lit up like the blood of a centerfold I love the city and the city rain, suburban kids with biblical names.

People ask people to watch their scotch. People send people up to the moon. When they return, well there isn't much. People be careful not to crest too soon.

^EThe drums march ^B7along at the cli^Ep of an I.V. drip like ^B7sparks from a muffler dragged ^Edown the strip. Ahhh^B7 I really hope you'll come ^Earound.

^EIt's sunny and ^B775. It ^Efeels so good to ^B7be alive. ^Ecome on baby don't ^B7stay inside. Everybody's coming ^Eout tonight.

--- BUCKINGHAM RABBIT

^GBack then I had a B^Fuckingham ^Emrabbit. I'd been lonely since she found Christ. Now is the time to depend on the law: the ^Dnights of my professional ^Emlife.

^GI was living in a ^Fvery young ^Emcity. Grand piano, great lakes, good-bye. If you ask me my name, it's high-low-jack in the game. I can ^Dtrack a single bee to the ^Emhive.

Every ^Gsingle ^Fgame was a ^Emblowout. And the Nascar blurred into porn. Scenic this, scenic that, don't fall for the traps Of the ^Dman who was never ^Emborn.

^Fmaj7And so the rent became ^Amwhiskey, ^Fmaj7and then my life became r^Amisky: ^Fmaj7And so the rent became w^Amhiskey (whiskeyyeyey), ^Fmaj7shattered dogs on the ^Amrocks.

^GAt the back of the ^Fbar there's a ^Emcouch where the lonely people go and lie. They talk to the honky tonk psychiatrist into the ^Dwee hours of the ^Emnight.

^GThe factories on ^Fmuscle r^Emelaxers. The pine perfume of hilltown floors. The lover, the thinker, the talker, the singer won't be ^Dlucid for her ^Emanymore.

^Fmaj7And so the rent became ^Amwhiskey, ^Fmaj7and then my life became r^Amisky: ^Fmaj7And so the rent became ^Amwhiskey (whiskeyyeyey), ^Fmaj7shattered dogs on the r^Amocks.

--- HONK IF YOU'RE LONELY

^DRadio's on, feeling all right ^ECruising the strip on a Saturday night. ^GI smile and I wave and I hide all my pain but the sign on my bumper ^Dgives me away:

^GHonk if you're ^Alonely ^Dtonight ^GIf you need a friend to ^Dget through the night ^GA toot on your horn, a ^Dflash of your brights ^GHonk if you're ^Alonely ^Dtonight.

(verse chords) I know honky-tonk where we can go. A booth in the back with the lights way down low. The jukebox is playing a sad melody for heart-broken lovers like you and me. We'll laugh and we'll flirt and we'll dance every dance and before the night's over we'll take a chance. The morning will find us with a smile on our face and we'll be together in a lover's embrace.

^GHonk if you're ^Alonely ^Dtonight ^GIf you need a friend to ^Dget through the night ^GA toot on your horn, a ^Dflash of your brights ^GHonk if you're l^Aonely ^Dtonight.

(verse chords) I know it seems sad to be so damn blue but there's always the chance that you'll meet someone new. I know that somewhere waiting for me is a sad lonely lover with a bumper that reads:

^GHonk if you're^A lonely ^Dtonight ^GIf you need a friend to ^Dget through the night ^GA toot on your horn, a ^Dflash of your brights ^GHonk if you're ^Alonely ^Dtonight.
