This old man, he was flesh

They wheeled him in upon a trolley

E A D A
Draw a window on his skin
This old man, he was next
blindfolded to face the volley
Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
Love will come of all our sins
Paint it on my tailfin, now Vera Lynn
This old man persevered
in his mind, he laid with Molly
Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
Cleanse us with your healing grin
Septicemia always wins Vera Lynn

Arms of love
G C G CG
Maybe tonight you're aching
C A C
For someone you're dreaming of
A D C
Wait till the dawn is breaking
A D C
Into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're crying
Like a poor wounded dove
Tomorrow you'll be flying
Into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're falling
For someone you don't know enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawling
Into the arms of love
Maybe your world is fading
It wasn't strong enough
Through all the dirt you're wading
Into the arms of love

The leaves on the table are all turning grey

in my Rail - way shoes
The ghost of your father is right by your side
He's so close to you that he's almost inside
He's guiding your hand as he's guiding your limbs

Take the train, take the other train mister and standby
E (etc...) E F#m7(sus4) Dsus9
Take the train, take the other train honey and ride
Madam, I burn for you night after day
I'm empty without you and colder than clay
The wax on my body is making me cold
but I'll never be able to go where I'm told in my
Railway shoes
in my Railway shoes
The Moon Inside
These chords are about one half-tone below what they are on the
record, but playing "F, Bbm+2, Bb" is a pain, so put a capo on,
on the first fret, and pretend it's not there!
Am+2 is 032200
E Am+2 E Am+2 A
E E7
I was walking home when I heard you knock
A
There were two of you, it was such a shock
E E7
There was one that cried on the telephone
A
And the other laughed deep inside my bone
Am+2
E E7
I can tell you this, when the full moon seed
A
It be plant in you, then it's what you need
E E7
Cause the flower of Love growing in your heart
A
Will eventually tear your world apart
Am+2
E G A G
The moon inside gets round and round
E G A7
The moon inside gets round
E E7
I can tell you this, when the female hand
A
She contours you, and you're like the sand
E E7
And you'd never guess you were in so deep
A
Till you try to walk, but you just can't creep
Am+2 E G A C D E
E G A G
The moon inside gets round and round
E G A7
The moon inside gets round
E Am+2 A
E E7
Well she takes her time, but she arrives
A
With her candle stub and her carving knives
E E7
Like a pumpkin head, you'll be lit within
A
And she severs you with a six inch grin
Am+2
E G A G
The moon inside gets round and round
E G E
The moon inside gets round
A E
And round and round and round
A C D E
And round and round and round and round
E G A G
The moon inside gets round and round
E G E
The moon inside gets round
then you're dust
G A
Time runs backwards in the end
Em A
you turn into a child again
A D
then you're dust
Remind yourself what you once were
an animal without much fur
then you're dust
You've got to be yourself, be a man
Till the time runs off your hand
then you're dust
D Em
Nobody wakes you
D A
Nobody can
D Em
Nobody shakes you
D
Anymore
Walk around and breathe the air
you can find it anywhere
till you're dust
serpent at the gates of wisdom
G D C G F C
Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom, curling round a tree
G D C G - F C
With your eyes so dark and empty looking straight through me
G D Bb C
How did you get so unwinding, do you know my sin?
G D C G F C
When you're so close to the answer, why don't you go in?
Serpent at the gates of Wisdom, who did you decieve
She was weak, but that's no reason for what you did to Eve
You're a fool - You broke the stillness. She gave birth to desire
Rolling dowen the frozen highwaay like a buring tyre
Serpent at the gates of wisdom, where do you belong?
Wisdom cannot be transmitted, it keeps you hanging on.
Do you really serve the Devil if it's all God's plan?
Good and evil need each other. Honey I'm your man.
Serpent at the gates of wisdom, like a purple scar
Leering at me round the dashboard as I reach my car.
I close the door, I start the engine, and I take control.
God above and all his angels, have mercy on your soul.
Driving Aloud (Radio Storm)
Verse
-----
The pattern that is repeated over and over
again (with variation in which chord follows which) is :
Amin7 A7 A7sus4
The chord just before the chorus is the A7
NOTE: I'm pretty sure these chords are barred
Chorus
------
Now this is where Frank and I disagree. I say the
chorus is :
D Fmaj7
Radio forecast intermitant storms
Cmaj7+D
Tidal waves that change their forms
A7 (open not barred)
Yeah
Whereas Frank insists that the Fmaj7 is really
a Gsus4 - so try playing both versions and see what you
think is right.... ;-)
Bridge
------
The chords are (in order but not synced with words) :
C D F C G A
CHORDS :
I'll give the barred and open tunnings for the chords

when i was dead
A D
When I was dead I wore a strong perfume
A D
When I was dead I didn't leave the room
Dm A Dm A
And I saw the apples hanging, like moments in the orchard
Dm A Dm A B
But falling into action, the moment soon is over, no returns
A D
When I was dead I wasn't interested in sex
A D
I didn't even care what happened next
Dm A Dm A
I was free as a penny whistle, and silent as the glove
Dm A Dm A
I wasn't me to speak of, just a thousand ancient feelings
Dm A E G A
That vanished into nothing, into love
A D
When I was dead somebody took my hand
A D
I couldn't see his face I took his hand
Dm A Dm A
And the Devil asked me to supper, he said "Careful with the spoons"
Dm A Dm A
And God said "Oh ignore him. I've got all your albums"
Dm A B G A
I said "Yes, but who's got all the tunes?"
A
When I was dead
The last A (on the repeat and fade "When I was dead") can be alternated
with A+9, which is a hell of a lot simpler than it sounds - it's an
ordinary A chord, but with the B string left open (002200), and there
may
be the occasional Dm in that fadeout, too...
