                                             A7
       The feelings that broke through that door
       
       Just didn't seem to be too real
        D                            C
       Beyond it's nothing but a fancy sun just
                             G                            A7
       Hurts my eyes somewhere it must be time for penitance
                                      D
       Gardening at night is never where

       Crawl out of bed and pull the chain
        Bm                          C#
       Tried just changing every month

       They said it couldn't be arranged
        D                          C                               G

       Though not to see the sun gardening at night just didn't grow
       
       {Same as before}
       
       Your sister said that you're too young
       They should know they've been there twice
       Carl was two in fifty one
       They said it couldn't be arranged
       
       
       
       
       Carnival Of Sorts (Boxcars)
       ===========================

       (G) ------0---0----                  (G) -------0--0---
       (D) -----4---4--4--  X 3    then..   (D) -----4------4-
       (A) -7-7-----------                  (A) -7-7-----------
                                                        
       Bm /  G  D  G   A/Asus2  {Repeats over verse}
       
       There's a secret stigma weeping willow
       A diminished carnival of sorts
       Chronic town poster torn weeping willow
       Stranger stranger to these parts
       
       G         A                Bm          A
       Gentlemen don't get caught cages under cage
       G          A
       Gentlemen don't get caught
       Bm   G       A/Asus4   (B) --2-2-3-2-0---
                              (G) ------------2-
       Boxcars (are pulling) out of town
       
       {Do opening riff}
       
       Cages under cages under cages under cage
       
       Secret stigma weeping willow
       Stranger stranger to these parts
       Chronic town poster torn weeping willow
       Diminish stranger
       
       
       
       
       1,000,000
       =========
       
       
       As far as "1,000,000" is concerned, I haven't really had time
       to work out all the chords, but the main one which Buck plays
       over the verses is, I think, something like this:
       
       E--0--          E--0          It's some kind of mutant
       B--0--          B--0 (4?)     "open" B chord.  Also, you
       G--9--     or   G--4          can remove the Barring finger
       D--9--          D--4          alternately to get the bass
       A--9--          A--2          note in there.  Heavy on style
       E--7--          E--2          of course.
       
       I'm not sure of these because I'm going from memory and my
       guitar is at home.  Screw around with it and see what happens.
       
        
       
       
       
       1,000,000
       =========
       
       
       {Riff}
       
       "B" chord:   "E" chord
       (E)  ---       ---
       (B)  -4-       ---
       (G)  -4-       ---
       (D)  -4-       -2-
       (A)  -2-       -2-
       (E)  ---       -0- 
       
       {Alternate between these two chords with feeling}
       
       Secluded in a marker stone
       Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
       
       B/A  A    E/A    A   B/A     A   E/A   A
       {The top 3 notes of these chords is sufficient}
       
       All along the chain secluded in the ruin
       
       Secluded in a marker stone
       Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
       
       A        Bm      Esus4    E/Esus4
       I could live a million years
       
       All along all along all along the ruin
       Secret in secret in secret in the river
       Secluded in a marker stone
       Not only deadlier but smarter too smarter too
