Song For Zula

Key: EMedium

C#m

Some say lEove is a bBurning thing

That it C#mmakes a fiery rAing

Oh but I know Elove as a Bfading thing

Just as fC#mickle as a feather in a Astream

See, honey, I saw lEove. You see, it came to Bme

It put its C#mface up to my face so I could Asee

Yeah then I saw Elove disfigure Bme

Into somC#mething I am not recognAizing

See, the cage, it cEalled. I said, "BCome on in"

I will not C#mopen myself up this way Aagain

Nor lay my face to the Esoil, nor my teeth to the Bsand

I will not lC#may like this for days now uponA end

You will not see me Efall, nor see me struggle to Bstand

To be aC#mcknowledge by some touch from his gnarleAd hands

You see, the cage, it cEalled. I said, "Come on Bin"

I will not C#mopen myself up this way Aagain

You see, the moon is Ebright in that treetop Bnight

I see the sC#mhadows that we cast in the cold, cAlean light

My feet are Egold. My heart is Bwhite

And we raC#mce out on the desert plains aAll night

See, honey, I am nEot some broken Bthing

I do not C#mlay here in the dark waiting for Athee

No my heart is Egold. My feet are Blight

And I am rC#macing out on the desert plains allA night

So some say Elove is a buBrning thing

That it mC#makes a fiery Aring

Oh but I know Elove as a cBaging thing

Just a kC#miller come to call from some Aawful dream

O and all you Efolks, you come to Bsee

You just C#mstand there in the glass looking atA me

But my heart is Ewild. And my bones Bare steam

And I could C#mkill you with my bare hands if AI was free.

My Dove My Lamb

Key: FCapo 6Medium

C/G

, Key of F#

(standard tuning EADGBe)

C/GFGFC

C/GI remember evenings when my dFad would sing

GHiding in the hallways, FI am listenCing

C/GKeeping still my body until it?sF borne aloft

GHer hair is soft her breath is soft Fand her name is sofCt

C/GAnd gather me completely in her Fsighing hands

C/GMy dove Gmy dove my lCamb

FC/G

Born with ocean thunder underneath our veins

Lonelier than cows left standing in the rain

Holy when our weight into the waves is tossed

Though ships get lost and fish get lost and names get lost

She will wait to greet me where it meets dry land

My dove my dove my lamb

So be careful of that language some words are stones

They?ll lead you out from town and leave you all alone

Past the mirrored diamond mares that run all night

Where camptown ladies sing that song ?aw come alright?

But lo they sing it sweetly so I?ll understand

My dove my dove my lamb

Though my sight be near and my way be long

Though the light I chase be disappeared by dawn

I have seen her standing on the roofs at night

I have seen her silver figure bathed and bright

And I have seen her sleeping in the cold white sand

My dove my dove my lamb

So even in these cities where she?s haunting me

Even when my weariness is wanting me

Even when my wickednesses want to breathe

Even in these dirty clubs counting 1-2-3

I will keep a singing til I no more can

My dove my dove my lamb

And later if I?m better I?ll be born again

I?ll pull my newborn body from the thorns and limbs

Finding with my fingers where they?ve torn the page

From some ancient book all gold and worn from age

And writ upon it neatly though in trembling hand

My dove my dove my lamb

Then later in the evening I hear trumpets ring

I stretch out in the dark and I am listening

Studying the sadness in your perfect limbs

Move them under mine until they learn to blend

And I will keep repeating til they understand

My dove my dove my lamb

Ride On Right On

Key: CMedium

Pretty straight forward. Just the chords that match the bass stabs in the song, which is

how I like to play it. Enjoy!

CIt's going right, I hate you took Gme right on

It's getting me by, I hate you took me right on

And never the heart, I hate you took me right on

The city in light, I hate you took me right on

CThe kids in the park, I hate you tooGk me right on

The city of dark, I hate you took me right on

It grows in the back, I hate you took me right on

And nothing would last, I hate you took me right on

EBut take your greedy hands

FLay them on me

EBut take your greedy hands

FLay them on me

CThis is not my heart, I hate you tookG me right on

You sit at the bar, I hate you took me right on

We lay in the dark, I hate you took me right on

We wait for the core, I hate you took me right on

EBut take your greedy hands

FLay them on me

EBut take your greedy hands

FLay them on me

CI'm moving too fast, I hate you tookG me right on

We move in the past, I hate you took me right on

And it never can last, I hate you took me right on

It grows in the back, I hate you took me right on

Muchachos Tune

Key: GEasy

I sang, G"Roll away the stone",

Set up a Ctrembling in my bones,

I sGat there all alone,

Just crDied and cried.

I saw theG moonlight's mirrored glow,

On thatC old dirty city's snow,

I satG there feeling low,

O Dmy, O my.

I fCound some fortune, found some fame,

I found thGey cauterized my veins,

Hej,Em I've been fucked Dup. And I've been Ga fool,

But like the Cshepherd to the lamb,

Like Gthe wave unto the sand,

I'lEml fix myselfD up. To come and Gbe with you.
