Track 2 - So Begins The Task

CAPO: 4th Fret

[Verse 1]
D A C Bm A
Now begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long
D A C Bm A
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting

[Chorus]
Em G D A
I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow

[Verse 2]
D A C Bm
Camping on the edge of your city, I wait
G D A
Hoping someday you'll see beyond yourself
D A C Bm
Shadows on the ceiling, hard, but not real
G D A
Like the bars that cage me within myself

[Chorus]

I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow

[Instrumental]

I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow

[Verse 2]
D A C Bm
All of these cages must and shall be set aside
G D A
They can only keep us from the knowing
D A C Bm
Actors and stages now bow before the truth
G D A
And the love between remains a-growing

[Chorus]
Em G D A
I must learn to live without you now
Em G D A
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow

[Outro]
D A C Bm G D A

The sunrise hits their oilskin boots

Like a man knows a woman

She makes him wait around for half the morning

For the tide to turn

Pull in the ropes, Seine haul fisherman

Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day

Waiting for the gulls to tell them

When the fish will come

Way out on the ocean

The big ships hunt for whales

The Japanese have caught so many

My fisherman's not greedy

With the sun and the sand and a net full of fish

When the tide turns

[Intro]
Am G Am Em Dm C F G

[Verse 1]
C Am
My grandmother's house is still there

But it isn't the same

A plain wooden cottage
Dm G
A patch of brown lawn
Dm Am
And a fence that hangs standing
F C G
And sighing in the Seattle rain

[Verse 2]
C Am
I drive by with strangers
Em
And wish they could see what I see
C F
A tangle of summer birds
Dm G
Flying in sunlight
Dm Am
A forest of lilies
F C G
An orchard of apricot trees

[Chorus]

Secret Gardens of the heart

Where the flowers bloom forever

I see you shining through the night
F Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter

[Verse 3]
C Am
Great grandfather's farm is still there
Em
But it isn't the same
C F
The barn is torn down
Dm G
And the fences are gone
Dm Am
The Idaho wind blows
F C G
The topsoil away every Spring

[Verse 4]
C Am
I still see the ghosts
Em
Of the people I knew long ago

Inside the old kitchen
Dm G
They bend and sigh
Dm Am
My life passed them up
F C G
And the world passed them by

Secret Gardens of the heart
F Dm C
Where the old stay young forever
F Dm F C
I see you shining through the night
F Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter

C Am
But most of all it is me that has changed
Em
And yet I'm still the same
C F
That's me at the weddings
Dm G
That's me at the graves
Dm Am
Dressed like the people
F C G
Who once looked so grown-up and brave

[Verse 6]
C Am
I look in the mirror through the eyes
Em
Of the child that was me
C F
I see willows bending
Dm G
The season is Spring
Dm Am
And the silver blue sailing birds
F C G
Fly with the sun on their wings

[Chorus]
F Dm F C
Secret Gardens of the heart
F Dm C
Where dreams live on forever
F Dm F C
I see you shining through the night
F Dm C
In the ice and snow of winter

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

She is a weaver
F
Through her hands the bright thread travels
C
Blue green water, willows weeping, silver stars

[Verse 2]

She sings and sighs as the shuttle flies
F
Through the yarn like a Kerry dancer
C Am
Pink and purple velvet red for a lover's bed

[Chorus]
Em Dm C
Living north of San Francisco
F C Am
With a man who built his house alone
Em Dm
Living peaceful in the country

The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home

[Verse 3]

She is a spinner
F
In her hands the wooden wheel turns the wool around
C
Then around again

[Verse 4]

A gypsy from Bolinas
F
Sits and plays the mandolin
C Am
Faces smile in the firelight of a foggy night

[Chorus]
Em Dm C
Living north of San Francisco
F C Am
Sometimes it's nice to be alone
Em Dm
She says, it's peaceful where she is living
C G C Am
The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home

[Bridge]
G F C
You can see the bridges of the city

Hanging in the air by steel and stone

She says, it's peaceful where she's living
C G C F C
The lights of the Golden Gate will lead her home

[Verse 5]

She is a weaver

Through her hands the bright thread travels

Blue green water, willows weeping, silver stars

She is my sister

The baby born when I was older

Her hands are light, her hair is bright as the summer sun

Living north of San Francisco

She says, it's peaceful in the country

==================================================================

Track 7 - The Hostage

[Verse 1]
Dm G Dm
I'm a guard in the grey iron prison, at least I was 'till now
G Bb Dm
It was never a picnic social, never a day
G Dm
They never come in laughing and you know they never taught them how
G Bb Dm
It was damn hard work, and you wouldn't believe the pay

[Verse 2]
G Dm
It was early in the morning, lord, I wasn't but half awake
G Bb Dm
When the cons went nuts, and took us by surprise
G Dm
I never was one for shaking, but I found it hard to stand
G Bb Dm
With a six-inch blade held right before my eyes

[Verse 3]
G Dm
We could hear a siren blowing, somebody yelled in pain
G Bb Dm
Then it got so quiet, you could hear a bird walk by
G Dm
They all had masks on their faces, and they spoke with a voice of Cain
G Bb Dm
"If they come in shooting, then you know you're bound to die"

[Verse 4]
G Dm
I turned to a buddy named Willie, I said "Willie, it'll be all right
G Bb Dm
If they meant to kill us we'd be half way down to Hell

See, they high-jacked a plane in the desert
G Dm
And the government screamed and cried
G Bb Dm
But to save some lives, they opened up a prison cell"

[Verse 5]
G Dm
So the days kept coming and going, tension was getting high
G Bb Dm
But I wasn't too worried, I figured I knew the score
G Dm
I knew they were talking to someone, I knew they were willing to try
G Bb Dm
So I figured my freedom was a matter of a day or two more

[Verse 6]
G Dm
But, Jesus, early this morning, the whirlybird dropped the gas
G Bb Dm
It made me puke and it brought me to my knees
G Dm
The bullets came like hailstones, I heard the first ones pass
G Bb Dm
Then they cut down Willie, and they got Jim Kelly and me

[Verse 7]
G Dm
They come in yelling curses, like they were crossing the River Rhine
G Bb Dm
Shot down every goddamned thing they saw
G Dm
And while I lay there wounded, I took another one in my spine
G Bb Dm
Poor Jim Kelly took another one in his jaw

[Verse 8]
G Dm
They say we had our throats cut by a band of desperate men
G Bb Dm
Say they saved as many of us as they could
G Dm
Well, the governor he should know it, but I think I'll say it again
G Bb Dm
That the governor cut my throat and he cut it good

[Verse 9]
G Dm
Let them take the governor, hold him for a couple of days
G Bb Dm
See who goes in shooting to set him free
G Dm
Hell, they'd open every jail in the country, they'd send them on their way
G Bb Dm
They'd never do to him what the governor done to me

==================================================================

Track 8 - Song For Martin

[Intro}
C G Bb F C

[Verse 1]
F G F
In Red Rock, Arizona, he lived for many years alone
C
A gangly kid from Colorado, who could sing the sweetest songs
F G F
I first heard Woody's songs from him in a cabin in the snow
C
Seems like it was yesterday, but it was years and years ago

[Verse 2]
F G F
He moved to Arizona in Nineteen Sixty-One
C
Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the sun
F G F
My life was movin' fast by now, I was always on the run
C Em
My country life was far behind and the circus had begun

[Chorus]
Am F
Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Am C
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
Em Am F
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Em Am F C
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere

[Verse 3]
F G F
I knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends
C
I always knew the paths we walked, were meant to cross again
F G F
We talked on the telephone once or twice a year
C
His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear

[Verse 4]
F G F
I'll never know what brought him to where he finally stood
C
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the woods
F G
But somehow I could hear it, it struck my heart as well
F C Em
For the unknown man who needs a hand, for the friend I'll never know

[Chorus]
Am F
Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Am C
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
Em Am F
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Em Am F Em Am F C
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere

Track 9 -

One morning in Bolivia
Bm C
The leader of the partisans

And two of his companions
C D
Were forced to flee the mountains for their lives

[Verse 2]
Em
Through green and dusty villages
G Em
They sped along the little roads
G C
The peasants smiled and shouted as they hurried by

Jesus called out to everyone, "Don't think that we are leaving
D C G
They only tried to frighten us with guns, we shall return"

Continue with your work

Continue with your talk

You have it in your hands

The people smiled and shouted and they ran along a little while

Then stood and watched, their hands were restless and empty

That they blew up before it reached the plane

The priest was proud to bless him

For what there was of him remaining in the afternoon

Continue with your talk

You have it in your hands

To own your lives, to own your lands

The road you should be on
G Eb
They only tell you, they can show you
Em
And then tomorrow they are gone

[Verse 4]
D Em
The smell of oil and incense fill the room in this adobe hut
D C
Where on the table lies the body of a man
Em Bm Em
His face is pale and young, his beard is dark and curled
D Em C Em
Pennies hold his eyelids from the evening light

[Verse 5]
Bm Em
People from the village, those who knew him, those who killed him

Stand inside the door, their hands are restless and empty
D C
They watch the priest make silent crosses in the air
Em G
And pray to god inside their hearts for their own souls

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your work
C Eb
Continue with your talk

You have it in your hands

To own your lives, to own your lands

And then tomorrow they are gone

Continue with your talk

You have it in your hands

To own your lives, to own your lands

The road you should be on

They only tell you, they can show you

And then tomorrow they are gone

[Chorus 1]

Continue with your work

Continue with your talk

You have it in your hands
Em
To own your lives, to own your lands

[Chorus 2]

They only tell you, they can show you
