[Verse 1] C Bartholemew bring me a fork G7 There's a minstrel parade on tv C Let the lights glow, an excellent reason G7C To stay home tonight
[Chorus] C Oh the old men wave their canes Em They have yesterday's brains FG And their worlds stop turning on sundays C The young lives are clipped Em And smudged on the rocks FG Distorted and forgotten
[Verse 2] C Quietly she enters the room G7 But we can't talk, we can not be seen C Returning her new pair of jeans G7C Just to stay home tonight
[Chorus] C Oh the mirror always shows Em There's a stranger in my clothes FG Standing on the third rail C Lost at sea Em searching for me FG And we don't know how to sail
[Verse 3] C So if you go to guitar store G7 You will see me again
Holding the door C It's an excellent night to sleep on the floor G7C If you stay home tonight

04. Mozzarella Swastikas [Intro] C
[Verse 1] C In a land made of strings G7 Where the hills are balls of twine and the doctor knits the sun C Down in a baseball diamond mine
[Verse 2] C And the mozzarella sweaters G7 Get sewn to the tits where the lump behind the sheet C Is where the tumor took a shit
[Chorus] F And I'll be getting head C Under the rainbow F And I'll be getting head C Under the rainbow F And I'll be getting head CAmFG Under the raaa-inbo-oh-w
[Verse 3] C Well we came upon a cracker G7 And we all came on this cracker and the last one had to eat it C And she did
[Verse 4] C But she threw it up like a whore G7 And the sunshine stabbed right through her like a whore on a skewer C In the wind
[Chorus] F And I'll be getting head C Under the rainbow F And I'll be getting head C Under the rainbow F And I'll be getting head CAmFG Under the raaa-inbo-oh-w
[Verse 5] C Now the king was reading comics G7 When he stepped into some vomit and he screamed like forty wolves C Being burned alive
[Verse 6] C And I rode my dolpin Adam G7 And he fed my dolphin stars, he fed my dolphin stars C Like you'd put gasoline in cars
[Chorus] F Papa was smart C But mama said I wasn't F Now I've got a million dollars C But who doesn't? F Gonna go to the graveyard C To get some beggin' done CAm Gonna dig up megan FGC And cut out my son

BmG Father owned the dating bar so mother ran the store BmG We all lived there together with the army at the door BmG No one to do my laundry or to tell me that they're sure BmG But there really is no me and there's no army at the door
BmG I hustle my way to your bedside BmG I ride on your body like a cab ride BmG I carry refreshments to the good guys BmG I made the good guys some home fries
BmG Pardon me anyone where is the nearest shore BmG We're all in this together and the police are at the door BmG Someone do my laundry or smash through the floor BmG To the tropical vacation buried underneath the store
BmG And I was your favorite bullfighter BmG Whose looks were new to your eyes BmG And i fell apart in that bullfight BmG Where the dress was the sky to your thighs
BmG She said that she had an hour BmG Her father he was in the shower BmG And she took me to her little tower BmG And she showed me her little flower
BmG And just when i thought it was safe to put down my pen BmG She said maybe i will let you fall in love with me again BmG Maybe i will let you fall for loving me again BmG Then she showed me her badge and i think she said then
BmG That i don't have the heart to tell you not to come BmG And everyone has hands just to use someone BmG And it makes me feel just like old gum BmG To ride a fake horse into town BmG To ride a lame horse into town BmG To ride a dead horse into town BmG To ride your big f*cking fake f*cking lame f*cking dead horse into town

Artist: Adam Green Album: Garfield Song: Times Are Bad
I emailed Adam about this song and he replied with the real chords and that his guitar probably out of tune for the recording. I'll tab up the chords he told me he played. To along with the cd, tune your guitar about 1/4 of a step up and substitute the chords this way:
CD Tab F# (244322) | A (577655) E (022100) | G (355433) A (577655) | C (x35553)
AG Well, times are bad CA And all the time you're feeling sad AG And people are laughing CA Telling you to go away AG And your feet are trudgin' CA You're always acting like a curmudgeon AG Well i know i know CBbA That it's hard hard hard
AG Well it's hard to walk around CA Feeling like a circus clown AG Grab a big baton CA And twirl it like a magic wand GA 'Cause your cards are dealt CA And everything is deeply felt AG Well i know i know CBbA That it's hard hard hard
AG And the people that you love CA Are attacking you from above AG And everyone that you trust CA Is just selling you a bucket of lies AG Well just believe CA That it's all gonna be ok AG Well i know i know CBbA That it's hard hard hard

FAmBbGm In a town, in a city, in an eyeball, on a rock BbCmDmEb In a fence where a goat was alone by himself
BbFGmEb There was a boy Who was there BbDmFBb A boy who built a snowman out of himself
FAmBbGm I've been popping out of closets in robin hood suits BbCmDmEb I've been spotted in pictures with Navy recruits BbFGmEb Look at your costume you know that it's true BbDmFBb Any one could pop in as you
FAmBbGm Try to untie your lips but they were double knotted BbCmDmEb I tried to break into you brain but all the entrances were rotted BbFGmEb If the moon had minute hands it would have meant a lot BbDmFBb (strum) But God would have made the moon as a clock.
(strum chords)
Bb Look, look, look at me doing this F7 Look, look, look at me doing that GmF7 Look, look, look at the way that i am
Bb bye bye bye to the crazy ones F7 bye bye bye to the crazy ones GmF7 bye bye bye to the crazy ones
Bb Look, look, look at me doing this F7 Look, look, look at me doing that (2x) GmF7 Look, look, look at the way that i am
(under heavy feedback and distortion) Look, look, look at me doing this Look, look, look at me doing that Look, look, look at the way that i am
(one strum per chord for the rest of the song) Bb But if everybody was the best F7 There would be so few of the rest Gm Oh the places where you've never been F7 Oh the world was just a baby then
Bb A million ways you learn to cry F7 When the boy's little waves pass you by Gm Oh never to be there again F7 Oh the children where so old-fashioned then
Bb Coffins decked out on the street F7 Who's the stranger with the purple feet? Gm Don't i remember him from somewhere F7
before his feet lost his hair?
Bb But if everyone is coffin-bound F7 Then i'm so scared of being not around Gm I'm so scared to never make a sound F7 I'm so scared of being underground
BbFBb Can you see me

BbF (8x)
Verse: BbFBbF When I wake up in the morning I smell your smell BbFBbF God knows that i'm not doing well BbFBbF You're my Clementine, my sweet sunshine BbFBbF A sparkling diamond in your eye

CmBb Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart CmBb Won't you cut out my bleeding heart? CmBb Over the mountains by the sea and the shore CmF I hope you come knocking at my door
(same chord pattern for the rest of the song)
Baby baby let's live in a shoe And I'll tell you some things that I used to do You're a broken book, a thievin' crook You stole my heart with just one look
Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart Won't you cut out my bleeding heart? Over the mountains by the sea and the shore I hope you come knocking at my door
You take my stuff and you make me blue You've got me so goddamned subdued And every day i hope and pray You'll stay with me while the skies are grey
Bleeding heart, my bleeding heart Won't you cut out my bleeding heart? Over the mountains by the sea and the shore I hope you come knocking at my door
