  ¨How will I know if it’s working...¨

  F# minorF#m
  right?

F# minorF#m    G+G
light confuses
D MajorD   C# minorC#m B minorBm    G+G
 the tiny  isles of bruises
  F# minorF#m   BB
the mangled lines

(Riff 2)
I see the signs of aging

D MajorD        D MajorD
But if I try to feel at all
 E minorEm        E minorEm
I am deceived my mind’s affected
D MajorD
it’s empty now
D MajorD
as I lay down
E minorEm
I feel alright
E minorEm
my heart is racing

F# minorF#m   G+G
Turn the noise on
D MajorD     C# minorC#m  B minorBm   G+G
 I’d like to  feed my poison
 F# minorF#m   BB
assembly lines

(Riff 2)
carry a velvet warning

F# minorF#m  G+G
to the yard
D MajorD     C# minorC#m  B minorBm    G+G
 it’s just like striking matches
  F# minorF#m   BB
the polish lies

But it’s working in your blood
 BB A#mA#m  G# minorG#m    E MajorE
(Working in  your blood)

Which you know is not the same as love
 E minorEm     F# minorF#m
(Same  as  love)
G+G          (D MajorD)
Love is only in your mind
 D MajorD C# minorC#m  B minorBm     G+G
(Working in your mind)
       A augmentedA
And not your heart

F# minorF#m    G+G
Now, it’s working

And not your heart

2. Song for DAN TREACY

 D MajorD       B minorBm       G+G          Gm/Bb
He spends his time, or maybe half of his time, or part of the time wandering

      D/AD/A        B minorBm        E minorEm
’round the creeks and cobble stones of hackney lanes

D MajorD         B minorBm      G+G           Gm/Bb
with a tear in his eye, as the children walk by, he’s thinking of a song

   D/AD/A       B minorBm     E minorEm   F# minorF#m   F minorFm
then stops, to paint a picture of a frown, walking around

E minorEm C minorCm G minorGm F# minorF#m F minorFm x2

And the fast guitar that’s right after that part goes like this:

D MajorD      B minorBm        G+G             Gm/Bb
Dan Treacy’s smile, leaves you trying to decide who’s the victim, what’s the crime?

  D/AD/A            B minorBm     E minorEm
no rest for the mind, that’s seen it all before

D MajorD             B minorBm         G+G         Gm/Bb
and I don’t know where he lives, but he’s a myth of a man, and Texas Bob the cameraman

  D/AD/A      B minorBm       E minorEm       F# minorF#m    F minorFm
is off to fix his sit before the show, yeah but where did he go?

E minorEm C minorCm G minorGm F# minorF#m F minorFm x2

  C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
to know when your time’s up

   BB         E MajorE        G# minorG#m    B minorBm
you flip the glass and watch the hours quickening

   A augmentedA  A minorAm
oh oh oh oh oh

    C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
in the back of the station

  BB        E MajorE          G# minorG#m     B minorBm
fluorescent lights about to quit their flickering

     A augmentedA            F#F#
well he speaks his mind, he says ¨what is crime?¨

F# minorF#m         F#m6F#m6
Dan Treacy’s eyes

D MajorD           B minorBm       G+G
In the middle of the park, when the underground is dark

      Gm/Bb
he’s a poet he’s a lark

      D MajorD         B minorBm        E minorEm
he starts thinking about a place that no one knows

D MajorD            B minorBm       G+G
and when the creeks run dry, he stays frozen in time

     Gm/Bb
strange lights in the sky

   D/AD/A           B minorBm          E minorEm
start blinking, I can see the car outside but he’s listening

         G# minorG#m            B minorBm
oh oh oh oh, he’s listening, oh oh oh, he’s listening, ah ah ah

     A augmentedA      A minorAm
when he’s making up his mind


C# minorC#m     A augmentedA      BB          E MajorE     G# minorG#m  B minorBm  A augmentedA A minorAm
He made his mind up, to get things done and overcome

C# minorC#m     A augmentedA    BB        E MajorE     G# minorG#m B minorBm A augmentedA A minorAm
He made his mind up, yeah he’s gonna let it go

C# minorC#m     A augmentedA    BB        E MajorE       G# minorG#m B minorBm A augmentedA A minorAm
he made his mind up, in the park and at the station

C# minorC#m     A augmentedA    BB        E MajorE     G# minorG#m B minorBm A augmentedA A minorAm
he made his mind up, yeah, he’s gonna get it done

C# minorC#m     A augmentedA    BB        E MajorE     G# minorG#m B minorBm A augmentedA A minorAm
he made his mind up, ooh yeah he’s gonna get it done

C# minorC#m     A augmentedA   BB  E MajorE  G# minorG#m B minorBm
he made his mind up

A augmentedA              BB
yeah, he’s gonna let it go, uh oh

        C# minorC#m    BB
no matter the time, oh oh

     C# minorC#m       BB
when the creeps run by, oh no

         C# minorC#m      BB
he’s making his mind up, oh oh oh oh

F# minorF#m             BB
yeah he’s gonna get it done whoa

F# minorF#m                  BB
oh yeah, when the creeks run dry whoa oh

F# minorF#m              BB
yeah, he’s gonna listen to his soul,

F# minorF#m                   F# minorF#m
yeah, when the creeps walk by and say, ¨come here boy, look me in the eye¨

F#m6F#m6                   E MajorE
bow to the heart, back to the beat of Dan Treacy

3. Someone’s Missing

E MajorE           C# minorC#m        A augmentedA   BB
Someone’s telling the toll to me
        G#G#            F# minorF#m  A minorAm
I’m cut and I’m weeping like a rubber tree
E MajorE           C# minorC#m        A augmentedA   BB
but i don’t care who’s left behind
   G#G#                  F# minorF#m  A minorAm
lost revelations that I’ll never find
    C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m     G#7G#7
in the long hall pipes are whispering
   G#7G#7     G#7G#7
blues prepared for anti-christening

E MajorE          C# minorC#m        A augmentedA   BB
somewhere there’s an honest soul
     G#G#              F# minorF#m  A minorAm
to mirror teeth where neon lures troll
E MajorE            C# minorC#m      A augmentedA   BB
and what’s extinct might come alive
     G#G#               F# minorF#m  A minorAm
a purple smoke in some internal shrine


    C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m    G#7G#7
with a long sigh let the hissing in
    C# minorC#m  F# minorF#m    G#7G#7
stones deformed by gentle kissing and
    G#7G#7
all the closed eyes start to glisten
    G#G#
but it feels like someone’s missing
    G#G#
yeah it feels like someone’s missing
    BB
yeah it feels like someone’s missing
    BB
yeah it feels like someone’s missing

  E MajorE    C# minorC#m     A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
it feels like someone’s missing


4. Flash Delirium

DmDm

FF
Mild apprehension
   DmDm            A/EA/E
Blank dreams of the coming fun
FF
 Distort the odds of a turnaround
  DmDm            A augmentedA
Gut screams out next to none
      BB
So turn it on
    E MajorE
Tune it in
     A augmentedA
And stay inert
     FF
You say ¨I’ve got the backbone¨
     DmDm          A augmentedA
The back way to escape the gun
FF
 Climbing a tree with a missing limb
    DmDm      A augmentedA
And not saving anyone
      BB
And now it hurts
      E MajorE
To stay at home and see

A augmentedA
Flash

The mirror ball’s throwing mold
  DmDm
You can’t get a grip if there’s nothing to hold
    BB
See the flash catch a white lily laugh and wilt
     E MajorE
So if you must smash a glass first fill it to the hilt

FF
Plants

As far as I know are still,
C majorC       A augmentedA
 Still bending toward the light
     FF
And if we dance

Until the heart explodes
   DmDm        A augmentedA
It’ll make this place ignite
FF         G+G
 And even if this hall collapses
C majorC         A minorAm         FF
 I can stand by my pillar of hope it’s just
 DmDm      A augmentedA
A majorA case of Flash Delirium


FF
Here’s a growing culture

Deep inside a corpse
DmDm
Ages stuck together
A augmentedA
Taking it to the source
FF
Timeless desperation
C majorC
Pictures on a screen scream
DmDm      A augmentedA
 ¨hey people, what does it mean?¨

BB  E MajorE  A augmentedA

FF        F minorFm
Comfort keeps us nice
  C majorC        A augmentedA
So quick to donate everything
  BB                E MajorE
Die wolken drifting blinding smiles circling
  FF   F minorFm    C majorC
And time’s tingling spines
 A augmentedA         BB
Attaching hands to floor
  E MajorE
The rosy-tinted

A augmentedA
Flash

The hot dog’s getting cold
      DmDm
And you’ll never be as good as the Rolling Stones
     BB
Watch the birds in the airport gathering dirt
     E MajorE
Crowd the clean magazine chick lifting up her skirt


F(hold)
 Why close one eye and try to
C majorC         A minorAm
 Pledge allegiance to the sun
FF                DmDm     A augmentedA
 When plastic ghosts start terrorizing everyone
FF     G+G
 Geometric troops aligning
C majorC    C/BC/B    A minorAm
 Carried up to the burial mounds
FF
 My earthbound heart is heavy
C majorC        A minorAm
 Your heartbeat keeps things light
FF             DmDm       A augmentedA
 With the violence forever threatening the night
  FF       G+G
And even if this hall collapses
C majorC         A minorAm         BB
 I can stand by my pillar of hope and trust
           E MajorE
That our heads won’t bust

FF         G#G#
Six six, five five red battleships
   C/GC/G
Forty earthlike planets
   A augmentedA
Three holes two tits
  B/F#
One fork in it’s side
   E MajorE
Zero tears in their eyes

(double time)
FF
Sue the spiders

Sink the Welsh
G#G#
Stab your facebook

Sell sell sell
C/GC/G
Undercooked

Overdone
A augmentedA
Mass adulation not so funny
B/F#
Poisoned honey

Pseudo science
E MajorE
Silly money
         A augmentedA
You’re my honey

5. I Found A augmentedA Whistle

C majorC       A minorAm      FF      A minorAm
Hey I found a whistle that hangs like a charm
C majorC       A minorAm          FF      G+G
  And when my noose is tied I could blow it and fall down into your
E minorEm      D MajorD      E minorEm       B7B7
Arms. fifteen centuries of dissolution and grief
   C majorC       G+G        FF
to return a yellow trickster and a thief

(Repeat for all verses)
Yeah I found a whistle that works every time
That’s when the trail escapes to nowhere
And the flood erases the crime
Such conviction
To paint all the wall with the blood
Of the young and the faithful and the good

Yeah I found a whistle as thin as a sheet
To split the dumbness of a vision
Between asleep and a sleep
Tiny axes
Repeatedly raising the flag
All ignored, real emotion’s such a drag

Hey I’ve got a pistol that’s aimed at your heart
And on dark nights when the moon is right
I could show you
The head attached with a scarf
Aerophane sorceress, at home obeying the fates
When it’s gone, has it gone all the way?

Ending
   C majorC       G+G      FF      C majorC
This time I found a whistle that works every time
C majorC       G+G      FF   E7E7
Yeah I found a whistle that works, hangs like a charm
C majorC     G+G      FF      C majorC
I found a whistle that works every time
C majorC       G+G      FF   E7E7
Yeah I found a whistle that works, closes my eye every-
FF           G+G            C majorC
time. A augmentedA whistle, I’ve got it, I’ve got it this time.

Part D MajorD (02:10 - 04:44):


	Transition - Play A augmentedA major until the singing comes in.

	A augmentedA
	Balance the books, the ledges, the loons

	               F# minorF#m
	the disappointed look on the faces

	          E MajorE
	that squint at the moon

	C# minorC#m            B minorBm
	I’ve seen it with shadows enhanced

	     C# minorC#m          D MajorD
	and then vote to decide who’ll advance


	A augmentedA
	Silver jet plane, making a turn

	            F# minorF#m             E MajorE
	exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn

	C# minorC#m               B minorBm
	it’s not the life lesson I’d’ve guessed

	C# minorC#m               D MajorD
	if you’re conscious you must be depressed

	      A augmentedA          C# minorC#m
	or at least cynical


	E minorEm
	But someone might still eat the steaks

	F#F#
	even if they’re tough


	D MajorD
	Spending the day

	C# minorC#m
	chewing the fat

	B minorBm         E MajorE            A augmentedA
	floating away isn’t rough but it’s not enough


	A augmentedA
	Oh Marianne, pass me the joint


	the sandpaper’s tan

	  F# minorF#m           E MajorE
	go-getters are surfing the point

	  C# minorC#m           B minorBm
	and London’s a scratch on the lens

	   C# minorC#m      D MajorD
	it’s over before it begins

	A augmentedA
	Silk ’round her neck falls down to her shoulders

	           F# minorF#m           E MajorE
	the older I get, the more I suspect there’s a trick

	  C# minorC#m            B minorBm
	but really there’s no trick at all

	   C# minorC#m         D MajorD
	that doesn’t result in a fall

	   A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
	or a faltering


	E minorEm
	But something might spit out the bait

	F#F#
	even if it’s real


	D MajorD
	Rolling away

	C# minorC#m
	missing the spoke

	B minorBm             E MajorE         A augmentedA      C# minorC#m
	close to the ground like a wheel but it’s not joke


	D MajorD
	Holding the line

	C# minorC#m
	clutching the phone

	B minorBm        E MajorE          A augmentedA
	nobly wasting the night, but it isn’t right

	         F#F#
	it’s not right


	D MajorD
	Smelling for blood

	C# minorC#m
	praying for rain

	B minorBm         E MajorE          A augmentedA
	running away isn’t rough, but it’s not enough

	DmDm	      G7G7        A minorAm        G+G  E minorEm   A augmentedA
		and you can sit beside me and tell me what it’s worth

	DmDm          G7G7        A minorAm 	G+G	E minorEm	A augmentedA

The verse is just a simple chord progression:

*Note: The chords are pretty much above the exact syllables
    of each lyric.

Verse 1:

G+G  F#/G    E minorEm   D MajorD
  Dead in the water
C majorC     B/C   A minorAm
It’s not a paid vacation
G+G   F#/G    E minorEm      D MajorD    C majorC
  The sons and daughters of city officials
 B/C     A minorAm
Attend demonstrations
G+G    F#/G   E minorEm    D MajorD
  It’s hardly a sink or swim
   C majorC     B/C    A minorAm

G+G  F#/G    E minorEm  D MajorD
  Out with a wimper

It’s not a blaze of glory
G+G      F#/G      E minorEm
  You look down from your temple
  D MajorD    C majorC    B/C     A minorAm
As people endeavor to make it a story

But all is lost if it’s never heard

D MajorD
And all I need’s a great big congratulations

G+G F#/G E minorEm D MajorD C majorC B/C A minorAm A minorAm


Just repeat for the rest of the song:

Verse 3:

I’ll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems
I’d rather dissolve than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast

Break 1

Verse 4:

The difference is clear
You throw it in your cauldron
Rust and veneer, dusk and dawn
Steinways and Baldwins
You start with a simple stock of all the waste
And salt to taste

Break 2

Chorus 2:

But damn my luck and damn these friends
That keep on combing back their smiles
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
