Intro:
F Bb F F Bb F
C Bb F C Bb F
F Bb
When we were as strangers
F
It was so long ago
I liked you
Bb F
But I lacked the courage to tell you so
C Bb
Wanted you by my side
F
But never below me
C Bb
It doesn't seem so bad
F
now that you know me
now that you know me
F Bb F
F Bb F
C Bb F
C Bb F
F Bb
The situation was just right
F
for us to be friends
Bb
and gradually upon your love
F
I came to depend
C Bb F
I wasted time, afraid some day you'd outgrow me
C Bb F
It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me
Bb F
We comforted and gave each other security
Bb F
Protected from the world and all its insanity
C
When winds of madness
Bb F
threatened to undertow me
C Bb F
It doesn't seem so bad now that you know me
F Bb F

FANFARE IN D MAJOR (COME, COME) (Grant Hart)
Chords:
D XX0232 D/E XX2X32 D/B X2X03X D/C X3X03X
C X32010 A X02220
Note: The series of D related chords are played by fixing your third
finger to the 'B' string, third fret and then using your first and
second fingers to fret the bass notes as required.
D
Well I'm so speechless
D/E D/B
I can barely reach this place
D/C D/B D
but don't know how
We were together
D/E
and we were untethered
D/B D/C D/B D
and things aren't like that now
It seems we're drifting
D/E
and things are now shifting
D/B D/C D/B D
into this ag - o - ny
and now I assemble
D/E
things that resemble
D/B D/C D/B D
whatever used to be
C
Come, come
D / C / D / / /
can't you think of something to say
C
Come,come
D A
can't you take the time away
D
I don't reckon
D/E
not for one second
D/B D/C D/B D
that I'd ever need to cry
Your calculating
D/E
that I'm just waiting
D/B D/C D/B D
for you to walk on by
and love lies bleeding
D/E
You were stampeded
D/B D/C D/B D
and I knew it all a - long
and it's my vision
D/E
that your decisions
D/B D/C D/B D
gonna turn out to be wrong
C
Come, come
D / C / D / / /
can't you think of something to say
C
Come,come
D A
can't you take the time away
D A
Time away
D A
Time away
D A
Time away
D D/E D B D/C D/B (this line played four times)
C D / C / D / / /
C D A
D D/E
Well I refrain from speaking about pain
D/B D/C D/B D
I wont use such a word
D/E
and I wont guard the thoughts that you've started
D/B D/C D/B D
because it seems so absurd
D/E
and you can't touch me all that much
D/B D/C D/B D
because my feelings are un - molested
D/E
and you can contact me abstractly
D/B D/C D/B D
but I'm not in - ter - ested no, no
C
Come, come
D / C / D / / /
can't you think of something to say
C
Come,come
D A
can't you take the time away
D A
Time away
D A
Time away

Well it sinks to the bottom

G Am
I avoided policemen when
C G
I went to cop
G Am
She sang one two three, one two three
C G
come get it now
G Am
and I took just as much as my
C G
brass would allow
Chorus:
G Am C G
On the main, the main, remember your name,
G Am C G
Remember the things you and I became
G Am C G
Reeperbahn, Christiania, Pigalle, all the same
G Am C G
On the main, the main, remember your name
She was so crucified by the end of the day
with her head in her hands she decided to pray
Jesus Christ topped the list of the most wanted souls
Like DeQuincey he died with his arms full of holes
Chorus
G Am C G (played four times)
Chorus
I was smack in the middle of alphabet town
There was life on the corners and death all around
You know hell is the worst place that I've ever been to
The hell that I've been through but I stuck it into

D Am G
When I picked up the keys

We had to keep the stove on all night long

You put our names on the mailbox

It was the first place we had to our selves

There was a time

Intro:
C F C F C
Em F C Em G
C
With diamond wings and harps a strumming
F C
she can see the angels coming
C
With silver wings and hats of gold
F C
They've come to bring her back into the fold
Em
and she rambles on insensibly
F
about her china berry tree
C
and reaches out and touches me
Em G
an opportunity that's not repeating
C
With tearful eyes I see him standing
F C
On the bridge above the landing
With burdened thoughts he's had before
F C
Compel him to commit his final chore
Em
Then he throws himself into the air
F
and leaves behind his painful cares
C
and ends his life as one who dared
Em G
to climb the stairs that lead into the morning
C F C(add F) C
C F C(add F) C
Em F C(add F) C
Em G G*
C
The squealing breaks and lights a crashing
F C
consciousness commences crashing
and what you can and cannot see
F C
are separated instantly
Em
His soul is from the wreckage thrown
F
and suddenly he's on his own
C
above the land where he had grown
Em
his life on loan
G
collected in the morning
C F C.
