Sacred Heart
F# C#
Now I’m out walking on Saturday morning
F#
without a direction, I’m a dime a dozen,
C#
a worthless tourist – a walking target
D#m Bbm
with his eyes stuck on glue and paper
D#m
no roof to crawl under
Bbm
but with a heart full of rain
a heart full of rain
F#
Full as the clouds
C#
my throwaway map should throw me away
and where does it take me
F#
streets long since flooded
raindrops and heartbeats
C#
though Noah doesn’t want me
you won’t let me drown
D#m
I don’t need to see you
Bbm
I just need to feel you
when we make love
D#m
feel you in the dark
Bbm
feel you in the future
when we make love
F#
Up in heaven do we make ‘em burn up
C#
or do they ignore us bigger fish to fry
F#
waiting with the others at the Sacré-Cœur
C#
many different colors from all over the world
D#m
here in the City of Love
Bbm
no one wants me here
D#m
but I remember
Bbm
the sweet things we did together
when we made love F# C# F# C#
F#
Saturday morning waiting with the others
C#
listening to Messiaen waiting in the dark
F#
at the Sacré-Cœur the future doesn’t matter
C#
nothing lasts but the dark
where we feel love
D#m
track me down and I’ll give you
Bbm
my pomegranate heart my throwaway heart
D#m
track me down and stop me
Bbm
I’m ripe enough for the terror
F#
that lies at the center of my heart’s desire
C#
I’m always alone I’m always alone
F#
I’m always alone I’m always alone
C# F#
and I don’t want to be always alone
Listen to Mark's version of Gershwin's classic S'Wonderful, from Vidal Sassoon, the Movie.

as per konk sessions version
Gm
Yeah you’re looking good
All the ropes that held you down unravel
Dm
Like Mission District pigeons
Gm
And now you’re God’s servant, the one
Dm
With a holy knife on the holy throat
Gm
I love that leather head band
Dm
I love the feathers, man, you’re so handsome
Gm
I bet you can translate all the sidewalk cracks
Dm
You can hear the wailing of the ghosts
Eb Dm
All I know is I betrayed you
Eb Dm
By not dragging hell to find you
Gm
And boom your eyes are open
Dm
You’re no one’s dog – you can’t be pet
Gm
You’re packing weapons from the future
Dm
And pity isn’t one of them
Gm
You’re flashing secret pirate maps
Dm
Abracadabra is in the air
Gm
You’re the rainbow made of skulls
Dm
Made by fire, held by wire
Eb Dm
All I know is I betrayed you
Eb Dm
By not dragging hell to find you
Cm Gm
But beautiful you’re always there

Beautiful, your light burning there

I know I’m bullshit because I like sleep

Let’s go toast the twilight at the old horror house
Cm Fm Cm Gm
It’s a graveyard, the music’s loud, the future’s bleak
Cm
And we’ll say hi to Lead Pipe
Fm Cm Gm
Books the bands, says he’s free
Cm Fm Cm Gm
Squeals like a pig when forced to speak
Cm Fm Cm Gm
The speaker stack is covered in thick pile of dust
Cm
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

Give me something I can use

I wanna get messed up, and give up, and end up somewhere else

Sometimes you don’t wanna choose
Cm Fm Cm Gm
It’s a plywood stage and the carpets are rotten
Cm Fm Cm Gm
The band is so loud, they’re lighter than air
Cm Fm Cm Gm
The singer’s heart and soul had long since been bled
Cm Fm Cm Gm
And like the ocean, she didn’t care
Bb
The music, it was blasting
And I couldn’t hear what she said
Oh, but when she signed my poster
She wrote,
Ab
I love you
Gm
She wrote, I love you
Fm
She wrote, I love you
Gm
but you’re dead
She wrote,
Ab
I love you
Gm
She wrote, I love you
Fm
She wrote, I love you
Gm
but you’re dead
Cm Fm Cm Gm
The guitar was pure evil, like the engines on a jet
The singer is beautiful and oh so bored
When she started crawling around on the ground well, honey,
You bet I’ve been down on that beer-soaked floor
Lead Pipe fell in love and said, “Would you look at that slut?”
Beauty brought what was left of him to the edge of despair
He said, “For a little I bet, she would do a whole lot
’cause you’ll do anything when you’re not really there”
Cm Fm Cm Gm
Now tonight, I wanna disappear
So wish me godspeed
For a membership to the human race I’d give up all claim
And I’ll control my arms and my legs and my hands, and my hair and my face
Like I’m holding a gun in a video game

If I Had A Hammer
Verse 1
D A
The love cry of the traveling man goes
G G/F# Em
No one knows who I am
D A
But I’m as priceless as a brass ring
G G/F# Em
That’s losing the heat from your hand
Verse 2
A
A quiet man sits quietly learning his lesson
The slow smooth wheel of disintegration
Same as Verse 1
You don’t want them to talk to you
No you don’t want to take part
You say, “Just get me back to the leper colony
‘Cause that’s where you left my heart.”
Same as Verse 2
I feel time pass by like a joy no medicine can preserve
Somewhere along the line I lost my nerve
Same as Verse 1
Maybe I’m almost there
G A
Give me the keys to your theme park
C#m
Bury me under your layer of snow
G A
And watch me ride all the rides
C#m
Around and around I go
Same as Verse 1
I don’t know if I’ve reached the bottom yet
And I don’t know if the ice has finally begun to set
I feel time pass like a joy I tried so hard to relearn
But somewhere along the line
I passed the point of no return
Maybe I’m almost there
The love cry of the traveling man goes
No one knows who I am
But I’m as priceless as a brass ring
That’s losing the heat from your hand

you live a sham of rain and rust

Truth is a shine in your eye

Only expect time to run out
A question mark – demand no more

Not even murder is so cold
What makes me always turn away?

Patriots Heart
Am Em
If you wanna see something patriotic, there’s a stripper
Am Em
He don’t look that good, but he’s got an all-American smile
Am Em
that fills his underwear with all the lonely dollars
G F
from all the lonely men who no one suffers
Repeat the above
who wait around this bar and spend all their lonely hours
they’re already gone – no one’s running for cover
the farther you run away, the more you have to hide in the dark
white as the worm that crawls in the patriot’s heart
It is so red, white and blue the way he works the bar
selling his embraces like Mr. President or a fallen star
he don’t care babe if you’re worldly or wise
he’s just looking for men with sins in their eyes
and he always says the same thing, he says,
“So, how you doin’, baby? I’m your rod and your staff
and for a tip, you can touch me.
And after a few tequilas, I become something holy.
And this crappy little bar with its sweating mirrors
and its mildewed ceiling are more full of love,
yeah, then even natural selection. And dollar for dollar, babe,
it’s a better bargain. The more you pay,
the more I can break you all apart.”
And dollars pour like ashes from the patriot’s heart.
Now he knows that your good time will kill him,
but the thought of getting old, no it does not thrill him
He says, “Give me all your money and don’t tell me what you’re thinking.
I’m the past you wasted, I’m the future you’re obliterating.”
Oh, come on grandpa! Remind me what we’re celebrating –
that your heart finally dried up or that it finally stopped working?
And how you make a dead man cum?
You learned the undertaker’s art and make ‘em shine
like the alcohol that preserves the patriot’s heart.
We all want a patriot’s heart
Give me your patriot’s heart
You can see him fade with the dawn in a pile of Washingtons
His head is in a spin, he’s happy to pass out again
He would rather fade into the static than hear the violins
that whine like old lovers who whine that they loved him
He would rather laugh alone in the dark with the soft hands of heaven
because they leave him alone with his entertainment system
He does it for the money but he gives more than he’s given
He does it for the money but he gives more than he’s given
and it’s only when he’s naked that he feels his heart
in the whorehouse desert of the patriot’s heart.
We all want a patriot’s heart
We all want a patriot’s heart

lyrics from american music club . com
Bb F7
Take the velvet line for comfort
Bb F7
High above the water, feel disconnected and free
Bb F7
Tired of hopes that I just can’t run from
Bb F7
I travel in secret, I know they’re pursuing me

Morning falls, represents a rebirth

Left overs after a night’s work is done

There’s no sun, just a grey horizon

Hiding from heaven, another frozen world
Gm Watch the ship hold to its course

As an act of devotion

And me, I’m lost at sea
C# Cm Bb
Going through the motions
Bb F7
Gave all my passion to the ocean
Bb F7
She holds it for me in reserve
Bb F7
My world is gone into remission

Your love’s a tragedy that I don’t deserve
Ab Bb
She said, “You’re only growing now.”

She said, “Soon as we’ve begun, then she can have you.

But until then, you’re mine.”

I watch her hold to her course

And me, I’m riding high

Going through…

Seems like every flash in her eye’s

An act of devotion

And me I’m lost in her hands

Going through the motions

Shore far away off the port side

Shore far away off the bow

Sure far away from now

Can You Help Me
A D
I tried to run away but I was frozen in place
A D
My body was made of sawdust and my heart just split
A D
My old friend rigor mortis started to breathe in my face
A D
The air started to drain out of my spirit
D F#m Bm
Help me,
D F#m Bm
can you help me?
A D
A century of my tears wouldn’t even fill a thimble
A D
The war of the class clown is never won
A
But nothing makes me laugh anymore
D
And nothing makes me cry
A D
And nothing makes me feel like I belong
D F#m Bm
Help me,
D F#m Bm
can you help me?
A D
I can’t believe all the stupid things I’m saying now
A
Either I’ve shaken the world off my back
D
or I’ve gone senile
A D
I thought your love was just a great big lie
A D
Now loving you is the only thing that’s gonna get me by
D F#m Bm
Help me,
D F#m Bm
can you help me?
D F#m Bm
All I have to offer you is archeology and Christmas
D F#m Bm
And we’ll turn our backs on what the world has in store
D F#m Bm
And twist the light so that it shines down on us
D F#m Bm
And wait together for the touch of something more
D F#m Bm
Help me,
D F#m Bm
can you help me?

Sleeping Pills
Em D Bm
The world hides like a smile behind your hand
Em D Bm
I became hard and cold, your smile became quicksand
Am G Em D
I don’t know what city I’m dialing your number from
Am G Em D
I don’t know if you’ll be there or if I’ll ever get home
C(running to G)
C C/B Am* G* D
I just took my two sleeping pills
C C/B Am* G* D Em
Now I’m like a bridegroom standing at the altar
Em D Bm
I’m not innocent but I’m bled dry
Em D Bm
And I’m stuck wide awake with no dreams in my eyes
Am
Do your worst
G Em D
I’m sure that it couldn’t even scratch the crust
Am G Em D
Of a case study of a life without trust
C(running to G) I just took my two sleeping pills
Now I’m like a bridegroom standing at the altar
Waiting to embrace my new life
with all the love in my heart
Waiting like a bridegroom standing at the altar
Am G Em D
And everyday I meet more people that I’ll forget
Am G
And everyday I become more like someone
Em D
that you should forget
C(running to G)
I just took my two sleeping pills
Now I’m like a bridegroom standing at the altar
Waiting for you to slip your ring around my finger
The C running to G thing( as I call it... dunno what you call it)

Western Sky (alternative standard version)
E F#
Time for me to go away
E F#
I’ll get a new name, I’ll get a new face
E F#
Time for me to go away
E F#
No I don’t belong in this place
C#m
But I’m not gonna ask you why
You think the parade has passed
D#m
you
E
by
C#m
Or if everything good is gone into the
D#m
Western
E
sky
E F#
I hate to see you look that way
E F#
All the beauty has left your face
E F#
That’s such an easy thing to give away
E F#
That’s impossible to replace
C#m
So I’ll take you in my two weak hands And I’ll throw
D#m E
you so high
C#m
Just to watch you fall forever in the
D#m
western
E
sky
F# E
And when you land you’ll turn into some kind of prize
F# E F#
Into somebody’s sweet prize
Middle
C#m G#m F# G#m D#m
E F#
I won’t see you no more
E F#
Who am I to rate that high
E F#
The world’s a shadow of what went before
E F#
The world gives off none of its own light
C#m
So please be happy baby
D#m E
And please don’t cry
C#m D#m E
Even though the parade has passed us by
F# E
Well you can still see it shining in the western sky
E F#
You can still see it shining
E F#
So why won’t you stop crying
