THE CAPTAIN

Intro: (G)(D)(Em)(C)

Well I don't (G)have as many friends because
I'm (D)not as pretty as I was
I've (Em)kicked myself at times because I've (C)lied
So I will (G)have to learn to stand my ground
I'll (D)tell 'em I won't be around
I'll (Em)move on over to your town and (C)hide

Well I have (G)handed all my efforts in
I (D)searched here for my second wind
Is there (Em)somewhere here to let me in I (C)asked
So I (G)slammed the doors they slammed at me
I (D)found the place I'm meant to be
I (Em)figured out my destiny at (C)last

(Bm)Did I for(C)get to thank you (D)for the (G)ride
I (G/F#)hadn't (Em)tried I tend to (D)run away and (C)hide

And you be the (G)Captain
And I'll be (D)no one
And you can (Em)carry me away if you (C)want to
And you can (G)lay low
Just like your (D)father

THIS FLOWER

But take this (G)one here (C)for a (G)start
And you can (C)keep it in your (G)heart
I have everything I (D)need because of (G)you

Well if my (G)life was (C)long e(G)nough
To pack up (C)everything I (G)love
I would do just that and give it all to (D)you
But it's im(G)possi(C)ble to (G)pay
All the (C)things that you gave a(G)way
So this flower I (D)give will have to (G)do

All the (G)flowers (C)growing (G)wild
For ten (C)thousand lonely (G)miles

THE HARD WAY

Capo III

If I could (A)do it all again
Well I wouldnt change a thing
I'd have you back the way I had you (E)then
But one thing that I know
This time I wouldn't make you go
I'd have you back I wouldn't lose you a(A)gain

But I learned the (D)hard way
I can't have it back what I had (A)then
Yes I learned the (D)hard way
And I know I won't have that chance a(E)gain

Some nights I (A)sit on my own
With the feeling of alone
Wondering if your ever coming (E)home
And I know why you're gone
I'll be the first to say I'm wrong
But it's hard to spend another night a(A)lone

But I learned the (D)hard way
I can't have it back what I had (A)then
Yes I learned the (D)hard way
And I know I won't have that chance a(E)gain
Yes I learned the (A)hard way

LAST HARD BIBLE

Capo IV

(First and last choruses are sung a capella, which is Italian for "Put the damn instruments down.")

CHORUS:
I sold my (G)last hard bible
Just to pay my bills
I called my mother
To re(D)serve me in her will
And the (G)pay I'm getting every Thursday night
Well it (C)just don't seem enough
Well (G)money can buy me a hell of a lot
But it (D)sure won't buy me (G)love

Well I bought me a (G)car
And I bought me a roadtrain
The car won't (C)go
The train's too (G)slow
So I found me a mansion
On the highest hillside
Bigger then this (F)town
But (D)it don't feel like (G)home

CHORUS

Well I spent my (G)cash
On a brand new heartache
I spent my (C)time
Trying to make it (G)back
He took my heart
And he took my savings
He took the (F)train
And (D)left me on the (G)tracks

CHORUS

DON'T GO

Dsus2: x00230
G/E: 320030
Dsus4: x00233

(Dsus2)As you're disappearing I'm hearing
All I wanted you to (G)say
I should (Dsus2)focus more on the thought of
Letting you just slip a(G)way
But I (A)get this strange feeling you're not revealing
(G)Everything you wanted to say
So it's (A)just a little harder for me to play the part of
(G)Watching you walk away

So be(Dsus2)fore you disappear again
Just think of what you're feeling and don't (G/E)go
There's (Dsus2)more to what you're telling me
I'm not buying what you're selling me don't (G/E)go

Don't you (Dsus2)understand that I'm stranded
In a feeling I can't (G)shake
Don't you (Dsus2)realize that I'm frightened
Of (Dsus4)all the things you're gonna (G)take
And (A)now you seem so distant
So much more resistant
To (G)ever let the feeling show
So it's (A)hard for me to face it
Even less replace it
(G)Everything you're letting go

So be(Dsus2)fore you disappear again
Just think of what you're feeling and don't (G/E)go
There's (Dsus2)more to what you're telling me
I'm not buying what you're selling me don't (G/E)go

(Dsus2) . . . fade
