Drag Me Under - Nicholas Gledhill


G (G base), G (C base), G (B base), G (A base)

D, Am, D, Am, D, Am, C, D

Drag me under
Deeper down into the waves
Crashing thunder
Hard against the sand
Pull me further
Out into the open sea
Drag me under
Drag me under your spell

Makes me wonder
How did I spend my mind
In time without you near me
Get to thinkin'
How would I keep my mind
or would I lose it? Blind
Without you.

Drag me under
Deeper down into the waves
Crashing thunder
Hard against the sand
Pull me further
Out into the open sea
Drag me under
Drag me under your spell

Floating empty
Crashing through the waves
In a storm, no harbour near me
Come to save me
Show me how to dive
You show me I''m alive
When you're with me.

Drag me under
Deeper down into the waves
Crashing thunder
Hard against the sand
Pull me further
Out into the open sea
Drag me under
Drag me under your spell

Start to scare me
Never make it back, now
To the shore I left behind me
Now you have me
Please, never let me go
Just keep me here and
Drag me under

Drag me under
Deeper down into the waves
Crashing thunder
Hard against the sand
Pull me further
Out into the open sea
Drag me under
Drag me under your spell

Please drag me
Drag me under your spell.

Fall At Your Feet - Crowded House


Bbmin A Bbmin F# Bbmin A Bbmin F#

Bmin D
I'm really close tonight
Cm F#
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Bmin D
Lying in the dark
Cm F# F#
I think that I'm beginning to know her

Bm D G
Let it go I'll be there when you call

D A Bm G
Whenever I fall at your feet
D A Bm G
And you let your tears rain down on me
D A Bm G
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

Bm D
You're hiding from me now
Cm F#
There's something in the way that you're talking
Bm D
The words don't sound right
Cm F#
But I hear them all moving inside you

Bm D G
Go I'll be waiting when you call

D A Bm G
Whenever I fall at your feet
D A Bm G
And you let your tears rain down on me
D A Bm G
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain

D A
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
Bm G
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
D A
Do you want my presence or need my help
Bm G
Who knows where that might lead

D A Bm G
Whenever I fall at your feet
D A Bm G
And you let your tears rain down on me
D A
Whenever I fall
Bm G
Whenever I fall
D A
Whenever I fall
Bm G
Whenever I fall

No Need - Nicholas Gledhill


G D Am
And there's no need to argue anymore
G D
'cause we've seen what's come before
Am
And what's in store
G D
And you know what's on the line
Dm Am
When you say the faults are mine

Am E
And you're not the one to cry
Am E
When you let the people buy
Am E
All the no need stuff that you sell
Am E
And then more spells to make them well

And there's no need to argue anymore
While the car we're steering
Races t'ward the wall
And you turn to me and say
"It'll jump out of the way"

And there's no need to shout
At me, while spreading all your doubt-
ing, and confusion through the crowd
You should know that I have vowed
To stop you any way allowed,
To stop you, anyway. I've vowed

To show there's no need to argue anymore
We can go our separate ways
And be no more
Or we can fight together still
And show the kids we have the will
And there's no need to argue anymore


Am G
You think that I'm wrong
Am G
When I say that you're wrong
Am G
That you think that I'm wrong
F
In that way.

G F
"Then prove it" you say.
G F
"I can't prove it" I say.
G F
And so this is the way
E
All along.

F G
You don't realise you see
F G
That there's great ways to see
F G
All the truth I can see
Am
But no proof

Em Am
There's no proof, in your spoof
Em Am
Of a process, no proof
Em Am
For you either, no proof.
Em
You won't see

That there's no need to argue any more
'cause the bombs won't win the fight
Or stop the war
And I've said it all before...
You should choose the other door

And there's no need to trust
me, Even though your thoughts disgust
me, I don't need you to believe
me, 'cause belief ain't why you need
me, you need people who can sort
Through all the lies you use to rort
Us, and distort the truth your way
And I'm so confident to say

That there's no need to argue anymore
'cause we've seen what's come before
And what's in store
And you know what's on the line
When you say the faults are mine
And there's no need to argue anymore

Into My Arms - Nick Cave


F C
I don't believe in an interventionist God
F C
But I know, darling, that you do
F C
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
F C
Not to intervene when it came to you
F
Not to touch a hair on your head
Dm
To leave you as you are
G
And if He felt He had to direct you
Em G
Then direct you into my arms

Chorus:
Dm
Into my arms, O Lord
C
Into my arms, O Lord
Dm
Into my arms, O Lord
C
Into my arms

F C
And I don't believe in the existence of Angels
F C
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
F C
But if I did I would summon them together
F C
And ask them to watch over you
F
To each burn a candle for you
Dm
To make bright and clear your path
G
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
Em G
And guide you into my arms

Chorus

F C
But I believe in Love
F C
And I know that you do too
F C
And I believe in some kind of path
F C
That we can walk down, me and you
F
So keep your candles burning
Dm
And make a journey bright and pure
G
That you will keep returning
Em G
Always and evermore

Chorus


-- Lyrics and Music by Nick Cave

Vincent - Don McLean


G Am
Starry Starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey
C D7 G
Look out on a summers day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G Am
Shadows on the hills. Sketch the tress and the daffodils
C D7 G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land


Chorus:
Am D7 G Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 D7 G
They would not listen the did not know how perhaps they 'll listen now

G Am
Starry starry night flamings flowers that brightly blaze
C D7 G
Swirling cluds in violet haze reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue
G Am
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
C D7 G
Weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed beneath the artists loving hand


Chorus:
Am D7 G Em
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 D7 G
They would not listen the did not know how perhaps they 'll listen now

Am D7 G Em
For they could not love you but still your love was true
Am Cm
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
G F7 E7 Am7
You took you life as lovers often do But I could of told you Vincent
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

G Am
Starry starry night. Portraits hung in empty halls
C D7
Frame-less heads on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world
G
and cant forget
G Am
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes
C D7 G
A silver thorn a bloody rose - lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow


Chorus:
Am D7 G Em
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 D7 G
They would not listen they're not listening still perhaps they never will


-- Lyrics and Music by Don McLean

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole

G Bm Em C
G Bm Em Em9 C C

G G Bm Bm C C G G
ooh... ooh...
C C B7 B7 Em Em C C
ooh... ooh...

G Bm C G
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
C G D Em C
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby
G Bm C G
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
C G D Em C
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true

G D Em C
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
G
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
D Em C
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
G Bm C G
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
C G D Em C
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?

G Bm C G
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
C G B7 Em
I'll watch then bloom for me and you
C D Em C
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
G Bm C G
Well I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white and
C G B7 Em
the brightness of day, and I... like the dark
C D G C
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

D G
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
D G
are also on the faces of people passing by
C G C G
I see friends shaking hands saying, ³How do you do?
C G Am7 D
They're really saying, I, I love you
G Bm C G
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
C G B7 Em
They'll learn much more than we'll know
C D Em C
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

G D Em C
Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
G
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
D Em C
High above the chimney tops is where you'll find me
G Bm C G
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
C G D Em C
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?


G G Bm Bm C C G G
