LEOPARDS AND LIONS

E A F# B

You were right about the time I took the ladder

I was wrong about your heir

You were right about the fact that I don't matter

I was wrong about your death

F#m B (2x)

F#m B A G#m B

Could it ever be something strange?

Will you ever be something useful to me?

Oh, useful to me!

Solo (same as top)

C#m A B (3x)

Sounds like leopards and lions

Outside the walls and they are fighting to see

F#m G#m A B

A dream of … a civil society rising out the darkness

E A F#m B (3x) E

You're useless to me!

You're useless to me!

CITY FOLK

CALIFORNIA

G D C

California's looking away

Found the wind and it's here to stay

Found the summer in Jah Tampico Bay

Caught a fish but she caught away

Oh ooh ooh ooh

California's not looking back

She's living on a carousel with somebody else

I wanted something that she couldn't give

California where are your kids?

Ooh ooh oohooh

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

DYou say let's risk it on the dice

I sit here thinking and I'm thinking it is wrong

You dream of sleepless Sunday nights

I sleep for hours and I wake up feeling tired

Your trees are filled with shining lights

That you first hung on Christmas 1989

D (3x) F#m E

TOMORROW (the ballad of the crimson couch)

E Eadd F# A9 B

Stay in at the rocket house tonight

Spaced out on the crimson couch quite a sight

F#m A C#m A F#m AIt's already late

It's already light

It's already dark

It's already day

It's already lateE

It's already tomorrow

Shipped off to the shores of possibility

And long gone down we deny a certain certainty

Break:

C#m A E B (2x)F# A B

Tomorrow we'll hide ourselves away

THE HESHER REMEMBERS

G Am Em C The last remark that cut the dark

Was uttered in confusion

We left the stage, the wind swept in

The stars were in confusion

La da da da da. La da da da da dah! (2x)

DSome guess and others claim

C Am F DAll relatives had different things to say

On the streets some people meet

But they're just passing through

Everyone must soon become a burden to the truth

F G F D

Aah ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

Tell us of the lies to the pass the time on frozen beaches

We were never really friends stretched out upon the reaches

La da da da da. La da da da da dah!

Outro:

C Em (3x) C G Em
