The Hole
Tom: EmFácil(Em)The old woman finally caught me
(Am)Sneakin' round her cave
Her hair looked just like barbwire boys
And her smile just like the (Em)grave
She asked me could I stay awhile
I (Am)said I'd better go
She slid her arm around my neck
And sweetly whispered (Em)no
(Em)It's cold and dark and lonely here
(Am)as soon enough you'll see
I'm oh so glad you stumbled in
I've been cravin' (Em)company
I cannot stay too long you know
I (Am)left some friends at home
Don't you fret about your friends
Down here we're all (Em)alone
(Em)What about my mother
(Am)I can't just leave her there to mourn
You don't have to think about her
Just forget you were ever (Em)born
I'll disappoint my father
you (Am)know he worked so hard for me
If you have to pay your father back
Just send him some (Em)misery
(Em)I'll miss, I said, a girl I know
(Am)I can't just leave there to pine
she's still got plenty of men to go
I'm sure she'll do just (Em)fine
What about my little boy
She (Am)said, he's just like you
Let a few short years roll by
He'll end up down here (Em)too
(Em)Then her pale green eyes began to glow
(Am)she placed her hand on mine
she smiled and said don't worry
you'll get used to me in (Em)time
As her cold tongue flickered toward
I (Am)spun myself around
made a dive for the passageway
but the walls come crashing (Em)down
(Em)Now her eyes were the only light
(Am)my fevered brain could see
but I tore myself away from them
and fell down to my (Em)knees
I've come too far, I can't get back
I (Am)beseeched the Gods of men
fame and fortune just laughed at me
then silence once (Em)again
A whisper deep within
embrace the God of Love
I lifted my face and through the tears
I saw light fall from (Em)above
(Em)I hurled myself into the wall
(Am)I ripped and clawed my way
through the stinkin', clingin' loam
back to the light of (Em)day
I crawled out into the wind again
the (Am)sky upon my face
I heard the earth sigh patiently
as it slid back into (Em)place
(Em)Now I'm back among the ones I love
(Am)I'm loved by them in turn
and it's only on the darkest night
that green eyed memory (Em)burns
So walk my friends, in the light of day
don't (Am)go sneakin' 'round no holes
there just might be something down there
wants to gobble up your (Em)soul

Marie
Tom: AmFácilAm
G
Dm
(Chord progression repeats though entire song)
AmI stood in line and left my name
took aGbout six hours or Amso
Well, the man just grinned like it was all a game
Gsaid they'd let me Amknow
DmI put in my time till the Pocono line
Amshut down two years Dmago
AmI was staying at the mission till I met Marie
now I Gcan't stay there no Ammore
Fella 'cross town said he's lookin' for a man
to move some old cars around
maybe me and Marie could find a burned-out
van and do a little settlin' down
Aw, but I'm just dreamin', I ain't got no ride
and the junkyard's a pretty good ways
that job's about a half week old besides
it'd be gone now anyway
Unemployment said I got no more checks
and they showed me to the hall
my brother died in Georgia some time ago
I got no one left to call
Summer wasn't bad below the bridge
a little short on food that's all
Now I gotta get Marie some kind of coat
we're headed down into fall
I used to play the mouth harp pretty good
hustled up a little dough
but I got drunk and I woke up rolled
a couple of months ago
they got my harp and they got my dollar
them low life so and so's
harps cost money and I ain't got it
it's my own fault I suppose
The Pocono's down but the Chesapeak's runnin'
two freights everyday
if it was just me I'd be headed south
but Marie can't catch no train
She's got some pain and she thinks it's a baby,
says we gotta wait and see
in my heart I know it's a little boy
hope he don't end up like me
Well, the man's still grinnin' says he lost my file
I gotta stand in line again
I want to kill him but I just say no
I had enough of that line my friend
I head back to the bridge, its getting kinda cold
I'm feelin' too low down to lie
I guess I'll just tell Marie the truth
hope she don't break down and cry
Marie she didn't wake up this morning
she didn't even try
she just rolled over and went to heaven
my little boy safe inside
I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them
caught a Chesapeak on the fly
Marie will know I'm headed south
so's to meet me by and by
Marie will know I'm headed south
so to meet me by and by

Silver Ships Of Andilar
Tom: AmCapo 4FácilAm
G
Am7
C
AmWell,of those that sailed the silver ships
From AGndilAm7-ar I Gam theAm last.
And, the Amdeeds that rang our Cyouthful dreams
It Gseems shall go uAmndone.
Ah, nAmorth for the shores of Valinor
Our boGws in Am7crimson, Gsails were Ammade
Our cGaptains were strong, our lCances long
And our lGiege the Holy AmKing.
Well, the hills did turn from green to blue,
and vanish as on the decks we watched
But every thought in that noble company
was forward bound.
To the lifeless plains of Valinor,
where reigns the dark and frozen One.
And with tongues of fire and glorious eyes
We pledged our mission be.
Aw, the climb from mild to bitter ran
and the winds from fair to fierce did blow.
Oath and prayer did turn to thoughts
Of homes left far behind.
And Longed every man for some glimpse of land
And the host that did await us there.
Aw, but each new day brought only a sea
And sky of ice and gray
Thanks give no word can drag you through
Those endless weeks our ships did roll
Thanks give you cannot see those sails
And faces bleach and draw
Ice we drank and leather did chew
For the oceans are unwholesome there
The dead that slid into the seas
Did freeze before our eyes.
Then a wind did fling the ships apart
Each one to go her separate way.
And, the sky did howl, the hull did groan
For how long I do not know.
And what men were left when the winds had ceased
Grew dull and low of countenance.
For soldiers denied his battle plain
On comrades soon must turn
So one by one we died alone
Some by hunger, some by steel.
And bodies froze where they did fall
Their souls unsanctified.
Until only another and I were left
Then just before his flame did fail.
We were shone ourselves brothers-in-arms
To serve the holy king
Now, perhaps this shall reach Andilar
Although I know not how it can.
For once again hes hurled his wind
Upon the silver prow.
But if it should my words are these
Arise young men fine ships to build.
And set them north for Valinor
beneath standards proud as fire

GWon't say I Dlove you babe, GWon't say I Dneed you babe
DBut I'm gonna Aget you babe, and I Gwill not do you Dwrong
GLivin's mostly Dwasting time, and GI waste my Dshare of mine
DBut It never Afeels too good, so Glets not take to Dlong
1:
Oh you're Gsoft as Dglass, and I'm a Ggentle Aman
And we've Dgot the sky to Atalk about
And the Gworld to lie uDpon
GDays up and Ddown they come Glike Rain on a Dconga drum
DForget most, reAmember some but dGon't turn none Daway
GEverything is Dnot enough & Gnothin' is too Dmuch to bear
DWhere you've been is Agood and gone all youG keep is the gettin' Dthere
2:
To GLive Is To DFly Both Glow and Ahigh
So Dshake the dust off Aof your broken wings
And the Gsleep out of you Deyes
Good-by to all my friends it's time to go again
Just think about the poetry and the pickin' down the line
I'll miss the system here the bottom's low and the treble's clear
But it don't pay to think too much on the things you leave behind
3:
Oh I may be gone, But it won't be long
I'll be a bringing back the melodies
And the rhythms that I found
(Intro riff under organ solo)
We all got holes to fill & them holes are all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm sometimes you dig your own
The choice is yours to make, time is yours to take
Some dive into the sea some toil upon the stone
FINAL Chorus:
To Live Is To Fly Both low and high
So shake the dust off of your broken wings
And the sleep out of you eyes
Shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eyes...
(Intro riff, end on D)

And Emsome turned aFway, not to G7look back agCain
G7One stood among them, I reFmember most Cclearly
Well her Emsorrows were Fheavy, and her laughter was G7slow
Well I Ccourted her G7gently, and I Floved her most Cdearly
And I Emcame her majFestic refG7lections to Cknow
oh her G7words, like a mountain, stood Flonely and Clofty
With her Emface like a dayFdream and her hair like the sG7hawl
CWorn by a G7mourner, as he Fsteals away Csoftly
From Emthose that would Fhave him mourn G7nothing at Call
Oh, G7endlessly sorrow rode Fhigh on the Cnorth wind
EmSlashing and Fslicing to take him his G7toll
And Cendlessly G7creatures of Fdarkness were Ccutting
Their Empaths through the wFalls that sG7helter the sCoul

For The Sake Of The Song (ver. 2)
Tom: ACapo 2FácilA

AWhy does she singD...her sad songs forA me, Im not the one,
ATo tenderly bring.D..her soft sympa-Athy, Ive just begun,
To Esee my way clear and its plain if I stop I will Afall,
I can Elay down a tear for her pain, just a tear and thats Aall.A7
.D..What does she want me to Ado?
She sDays that she knows that Emoments are rare,
And I Dsuppose that its Atrue.
TDhen on she goes to Esay I dont care, but she Dknows that IA do.
MEaybe she just has to sing for the sake of theA song,
And Ewho do I think that I am to decide that shesA wrong ?
Shed like to think I was cruel,..but she knows thats a lie,for I would be,
No more than a tool...if I allowed her to cry all over me,
Oh my sorrow is real even though I cant change my plans,
If she could see how I feel then I know that shed understand.
Oh does she actually think I'm to blame?
Does she really believe that some word of mine,
can relieve all her pain?
Cant she see that she grieves just because shes been blindly deceived by her shame?
Maybe she just has to sing for the sake of the song,
And who do I think that I am to decide that shes wrong ?
INSTRUMENTAL: PLAY INTRO
Ah, but nothings what it seems...maybe shell start someday to realize,
If she abandons her dreams,...then all the words she can say are only lies,
Ah, when will she see that to gain is only to lose?
All that she offers me are her chains, Ive got to refuse.
Oh but its only to herself that shes lied.
Shed like to pretend its something that
she should defend, with her pride,
I don't intend to stand here and be...the friend from who she must hide.
MayEbe she just has to sing for the sake of the Asong,
And Ewho do I think that I am to decide that shes Awrong ?
