To set me free

Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967
[Verse]
C F
Walt Grace, desperately hating his whole place
Am
Dreamed to discover a new space
F
And buried himself alive
C F
Inside his basement, tongue on the side of his face meant
Am
He's working away on displacement
F
And what it would take to survive
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Dm
'Cause when you're done with this world
Am G
You know the next is up to you
C F G
And his wife told his kids he was crazy
C F G
And his friends said he'd fail if he tried
C F
But with a will to work hard
Am D
And a library card
F G C
He took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
[Verse]
C F
That morning, the sea was mad and I mean it
Am
Waves as big as he'd seen it
F
Deep in his dreams at home
C
From dry land
F
He rolled it over to wet sand
Am
Closed the hatch up with one hand
F
And pedaled off alone
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Dm
'Cause when you're done with this world
Am G
You know the next is up to you
C F G
And for once in his life it was quiet
C F G
As he learned how to turn in the tide
C F
And the sky was a flare
Am D
When he came up for air
F G C
In his homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride
[Verse]
C
One evening
F
When weeks had passed since his leaving
Am
The call she'd planned on receiving
F
Finally made it home
C
She accepted
F
The news she'd never expected
Am
The operator connected
F
A call from Tokyo
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Dm
'Cause when you're done with this world
Am G
You know the next is up to you
C
Now his friends
F G
Bring him up when they're drinking
C F G
At the bar with his name on the side
C F
And they smile when they can
Am D
As they speak of a man
F G C
Who took a homemade, fan-blade, one-man submarine ride

A Face To Call Home
[Verse]
D Bm
I am an architect
F#m A
Of days that haven’t happened yet
D Bm F#m A
I can’t believe a month is all it is been
D Bm
You know my paper heart
F#m A
The one I fill with pencil marks
D Bm F#m A
I think I might have gone and inked you in
[Chorus]
G
Little by little
inch by inch
D/F# A
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
G
It ain’t much but it is a start
D/F# A
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
G
And a face to call home
D/F# A
A face to call home
G D/F# A
You got a face to call home
[Verse]
D Bm
So glad you didn’t see
F#m A
The nervous wreck I used to be
D Bm F#m A
Never thought a man could be so small
D Bm
You never look at me
F#m A
Like I am a liability
D Bm F#m A
I bet you never think I’d been at all
[Chorus]
G
Little by little
inch by inch
D/F# A
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
G
It ain’t much but it is a start
D/F# A
You got me swaying right along to the song in your heart
G
And a face to call home
D/F# A
A face to call home
G D/F# A
You got a face to call home
[Outro]
G D/F# A
Maybe I could stay a while
G D/F# A
I am talking like all of the time
G D/F# A
With a face to call home
G D/F# A
A face to call home
G D/F# A
You got a face to call home
