Night After Night

E                                              B
Night after night you wander the streets of my mind
                                                      E
Night after night, don't know what you think you will find
E
No place to go, nowhere to turn
A
Everything around you seems to burn, burn, burn
            B
And there's never any mercy in sight,
            E
Night after Night
B     A     E
Night after Night
B     A     E
Night after Night


Night after Night some nuke plant will blow up the world
Night after night another old man is in some young girl

Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word

G

D
Seems like only yesterday
  Em
I left my mind behind
D
Down in the Gypsy Cafe
       Em
With a friend of a friend of mine
    D                            Am
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
    D                                  Am
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
     D                                Am
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
  D                               Am
A phrase in connection first with she
C D
I heard
     D7                         G
That love is just a four-letter word

Outside a rambling store-front window

Liverpool Gal

     C   . . /b . .  Am . . F   . .
When first I came to London town
  C/g . .  G . . F . G C . .
A stranger I did come
    C        /b         Am    F
I'd walk the streets so silently
  C/g     G       F   G C
I did not know no-one
      Am . .   Em     .  .  F . G    C   . .
I was thinking thoughts and dreaming dreams
    C  . .        Em .  F  . . G .
The kind when you roll along
.   C       /b        Am        F
But most of all I was thinking about
    C/g      G         Am . . Em . . F . . G .
the land I'd left back home

I'd stand by the river Themes

Long Time Gone

   D
My parents raised me tenderly
  C              D
I was their only son.
   D
My mind got mixed with ramblin'
     C            D
When I was all so young.
      D
An' I left my home the first time
     C                D
When I was twelve an' one.
      D
I'm a long time a-comin', Ma
     C              D
I'll be a long time gone.

On the western side of Texas
On the Texas plains
I tried to find a job of work
But they said I's young of age.
My eyes they burned when I heard
"Go home where you belong!"
I'm a long time a-comin'
I'll be a long time gone.

If I Don't Be There By Morning

upon the horizon,

Private eye

is on my trail,

And if I don't be there by morning

She'll know that I

must've spent the night in jail.

I been runnin'
from Memphis to LA
Had an appointment
set sometime for today
And if I don't be there by morning
She'll know that I
must have gone the other way.

 Finding my way back to you, girl,

Heartland


There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland,

And the bankers are takin' my home and my land from me.

There's a big achin' hole in my chest now where my heart was,

And a hole in the sky where God used to be.


There's a home place under fire tonight in the heartland,
There's a well with water so bitter nobody can drink.
Ain't no way to get high and my mouth is so dry that I can't speak.
Don't they know that I'm dyin', why nobody cryin' for me? 
My American dream
Fell apart at the seams.
You tell me what it means,
