Joey

G  F     C  G   x2

C                 D                C                 G
Born in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when
C              D           C                 G
 Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
C              D       C                         G
 Always on the outside  of whatever side there was
          Em                      G
When they asked him why it had to be that way,
           C         /b      Am
"Well," he answered, "just because."

Larry was the oldest, Joey was next to last.

Isis

Bb        Ab          Eb           Bb
I married Isis on the fifth day of May,
But I could not hold on to her very long.
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away
For the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.

I came to a high place of darkness and light.
The dividing line ran through the center of town.
I hitched up my pony to a post on the right,
Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down.

A man in the corner approached me for a match.
I knew right away he was not ordinary.
He said, "Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?"

Hurricane

|: Am   F   Am   F :|

Am                           F
Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Am                             F
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
Am                          F
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Am                       F
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
C                           F
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
C                       F
The man the authorities came to blame
Dm                          C
For somethin' that he never done.
Dm                        C   Em              Am

You Angel You

G   D/f#   C/e   D   C   D   G

G   D     G
You angel you
    G      D          G
You got me under your wing.
    G       D/f#         C/e     D
The way you walk and the way you talk
  C            D      G
I feel I could almost sing.


You angel you
You're as fine as anything's fine.
I just want to watch you talk with your
memory on my mind
    C                               G
You know I can't sleep at night for trying
      G         D/f#      C/e    D
Yes I never did feel this way before,
G         D/f#       C/e     D

On a Night Like This

E    A   E

                E
On a night like this
            B
So glad you came around,

Hold on to me so tight
    E
And heat up some coffee grounds.
               E7/g#
We got much to talk about
    A           Am/f#
And much to reminisce,
           E
It sure is right
     B          E
On a night like this.


On a night like this
So glad you've come to stay
Hold on to me, pretty miss
Say you'll never go away to stray.
Run your fingers down my spine
Bring me a touch of bliss
It sure feels right
On a night like this.

On a night like this
I can't get any sleep,

Going, Going, Gone

Official album version

Am   Dm   |Am   Dm

F
I've just reached a place
Am
Where the willow don't bend.
        Dm
There's not much more to be said
/c       Bb
It's the top of the end.
    F
I'm going,
    C
I'm going,
    Dm
I'm gone.

I'm closin' the book
On the pages and the text
And I don't really care
What happens next.
I'm just going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.

I been hangin' on threads,
I been playin' it straight,
Now, I've just got to cut loose
Before it gets late.
So I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
