CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]

See her how she flies

Golden sails across the sky

Close enough to touch

But careful if you try

Though she looks as warm as gold
G Am G
The moon's a harsh mistress
C G
The moon can be so cold
[Verse 2]

Once the sun did shine

Lord, it felt so fine

The moon a phantom rose
Bm7 Em
Through the mountains and the pines
C D Em C
And then the darkness fell
G Am G
And the moon's a harsh mistress
C
It's so hard to love her well
[Verse 3]

I fell out of her eyes

I fell out of her heart

I fell down on my face

I tripped and missed my star

And the sky is made of stone
Bb Cm Bb
The moon's a harsh mistress
Eb
She's hard to call your own

Take me past the place I've passed, the last time that I died

Lying in her darkness like a child awaiting birth

Angel comes and takes me for everything I'm worth

Track 3 - Houses
G C9 D
You have many houses, one for every season
G C9 D
Mountains in your windows, violets in your hand
Em7 C9 D
Through your English meadows your blue-eyed horses wander
C9 D
You're in Colorado for the spring
G C9 D
When the winter finds you, you fly to where it's summer
G C9 D
Rooms that face the ocean, moonlight on your bed
Em7 C9 D
Mermaids swift as dolphins paint the air with diamonds
C9 D
You are like a seagull as you said
C G
Why do you fly bright feathered sometimes in my dreams?
Bb C
The shadows of your wings fall over my face
Bb C
I can feel no air, I can find no peace
Bb C
Brides in black ribbons, witches in white
Bb C G
Fly in through windows, fly out through the night
C G
Why do I think I'm dying sometimes in my dreams
Bb C
I see myself a child running through the trees
Bb C
Searching for myself, looking for my life
Bb C
Looking everywhere crawling on my knees
Bb C g
I cannot see the leaves, I cannot see the light
Em7 D
Then I see you walking just beyond the forest
Em7 D
Walking very quickly, walking by yourself
Em7 D
Your shoes are silver, your coat is made of velvet
Em7 D
Your eyes are shining, your voice is sweet and clear
C D
"Come on", you say, "Come with me, I'm going to the castle"
C D
All the bells are ringing, the weddings have begun
C D
But I can only stand here, I cannot move to follow
C C9 D
I'm burning in the shadows and freezing in the sun
G C9 D
There are people with you living in your houses
G C9 D
People from your childhood who remember how you were
Em7 C9 D
You were always flying, nightingale of sorry
C9 D C
Singing bird with rainbows on your wings
Track 4 - The Lovin' Of The Game
[Intro]
C D F C D F C
[Verse 1]
D F
I watched the Feather River glide
C
Over shining golden sand
D F
Struck the silver ribbon wide
C
Held a million in my hand
[Verse 2]
G/B Am
But besides the looking for
The finding's always tame
C D F
And there's nothing drives a gambler
C
Like the lovin' of the game
[Verse 3]
D F
All my life I've searched around
C
Travelin' hard from town to town
D F
But I never really found
C
Anything to tie me down
[Verse 4]
G/B Am
Still I would not trade my time
For a solid diamond claim
C D F
No, I would not trade a fortune
C
For the lovin' of the game
[Instrumental]
C D F C D F C
[Verse 5]

So long, Darlin', don't you cry

I hope that things turn out for you
D F
All these good times goin' by
C
Got to get ourselves a few
[Verse 6]
G/B Am
Still I would not trade my time
For a solid diamond claim
C D F
Oh, the treasure's not for taking
C
It's the lovin' of the game
C D F
Oh, the treasure's not for taking
C F
It's the lovin' of the game___
C
The lovin' of the game
Track 5 - Song For Duke
I didn’t even know the man
Dm
I didn’t know the man himself
G
Even though his music filled my life
C
As it has so many others
C
I knew that he had died that week
Dm
After fighting death a year or more
G
But I had had a rule before
C
That funerals were a waste of flowers
Am
But something said I had to go
Em
To be a witness to his gift of love
F
A man who never once gave up on life
Dm G
Until death took him in its tracks
C
The people stood around the church
Dm
Ten thousand people there they say or more
G
Black and white and rich and poor
C
Together they were there to say farewell
C
In New York City it had rained that day
Dm
The streets were silver and the sky was gray
G
In the church the music sailed and sang
C
And seemed to fill the air with shining sun
Am
The man was a hero
Em
He played the music of our souls
F
He knew that we all have in us
Dm G
A place where beauty always grows
C
Outside in the streets again
Dm
The people wandered through the falling rain
G
They waved their hands and dried their tears
C
And turned to go about their lives again
C
But none of us will be the same
Dm
If we hear the things his music says
G
That loving is the gift of life
C
And making music was his way of love
Am
The man was a hero
Em
He sang the music of our souls
F
He knew that we all have in us
Dm G
A place where beauty always grows
C
Always grows
Track 6 - Send In The Clowns
Capo III
F C F C G7 C C7 F F Dm C
F C F C
Isn't it rich? Aren't we a pair?
G C C7 F Dm
Me here at last on the ground, and you in mid-air
F C Dm F C
Where are the clowns.
F C F C
Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?
G C C7 C F Dm
One who keeps tearing around, and one who can't move.
F C Dm F C
But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.
Cmaj7 Em Am Em
Just when I stopped, opening doors,
Cmaj7 Em Am C
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours;
Em D7 Em D7
Making my entrance again, with my usual flair,
Am Em D7 G G7
Sure of my lines, no one is there.
F C F C
Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear;
G C C7 C F Dm
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear.
F C Dm F C Dm
But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns.
F G7 C
Don't bother, they're here.
F C F C G7 C C7 F F Dm C
F C F C
Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer,
G C C7 C F Dm
Losing my timing this late, in my career?
F C Dm F C
But where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns
Dm F G C
Well, maybe next year.

A choice of cancer or polio

I was always there, right on the job

Track 9 - City Of New Orleans
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G D G
Riding on the City of New Orleans
Em C G
Illinois Central Monday morning rail
D G
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders
Em D G
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail
Em Bm
On the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kenkakee
D A
Rolls along past houses farms and fields
Em Bm
Passing trains that have no name, freight yards of old black men
D C G
And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles
[Chorus]
C D G
Good morning America, how are you?
Em C G D
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
G D Em
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
[Verse 2]
D G
Playing cards with the old men in the club car
Em C G
Penny a point, ain't no one keeping score
D G
Pass the paper bag, but hold the bottle
Em D G
And feel the wheels rumbling beneath the floor
Em Bm
And the sons of Pullman porters, and the sons of engineers
D A
Ride their father's magic carpets made of steel
Em Bm
Mother with their babes asleep, rocking to the gentle beat
D C G
The rhythm of the rails is all they feel
[Chorus]
C D G
Good morning America, how are you?
Em C G D
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
G D Em
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
[Verse 3]
D G
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Em C G
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
D G
Half way home and we'll be there by morning
Em D G
Through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea
Em Bm
And all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream
D A
The steel rail still ain't heard the news
Em Bm
The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain
D C G
This train got the disappearing railroad blues
[Chorus]
C D G
Good night America, how are you?
Em C G D
Say, don't you know me, I'm your native son
G D Em
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans
F C D G
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
F C D G
I'll be gone a million miles when the race is run
F C G
I'll be gone_____
