       Radio Song
       ==========

       
       "Hey, I can't find nothing on the radio...Yo, turn it to that
       station"
       
       Ab              Absus      Ab
       The world is collapsing around our ears
       Absus             Ab     Absus4   
       I turned up the radio, I can't hear it.
              F                        F
       When I got to the house and I called you out
               F                       F
       I could tell that you had been crying, crying.
                  F                                    F
       It's that same same song on the radio makes me sad
            Bb7              
       I meant to turn it off, to say good bye, to leave in quiet (See 'Ya)
                  F
       The radio song, hey, hey, hey
             Ab           Absus         Ab            Absus         Ab    
       Absus  
       I've everything to show, I've everything to hide, look into my eyes,
       listen
       
       Bb       Eb
       
              F                                                   F
       When I got to the show (yo ho ho) I could tell that you had been
       crying, crying
                  F                                       F 
       It's that same same song (The DJ Sucks!) it makes me sad
                            Bb7                          Bb7       F
       I tried to turn it off, to say goodbye my love, that radio song, hey,
       hey, hey
       
            Ab         Absus    Ab  
       The world is collapsing around our ears
       Absus             Ab          Absus
       I turned up the radio, But I can't hear it.
       F
       Yea (yea, baby, baby, baby, baby)
           Bb7                             Bb7
       I tried to sing along, but damn that radio song
                 F
       Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
              Ab           Absus
       I've everything to show (everything to show), 
               Ab          Absus
       I've everything to hide (everything to hide), 
             Ab       Absus           
       Look into my eyes, listen to the radio
         Absus           Ab        Ab         Ab
       I turned up the radio, I can't hear it
              Ab                 Bb  Eb
       Now I can't hear it.
                   F
       Hey, hey, hey (say what) 
       Hey, hey, hey (let me do that with you)
       Hey, hey, hey, hey ,hey, hey, hey, hey
       Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, (say what, say what, say what)
       Hey, hey, hey (check it out)
       (What are you saying, what are you playing.)
       (Who are you obeying day out and day in.)
       (Baby, baby, baby, baby, that stuff is driving me crazy.)
       (DJs communicate to the masses, sex and violent classes.)
       (Now our children grow up prisoners, all their lives radio
       listeners.)
       


       
       Losing My Religion
       ==================

       (intro: Dm  Am  Dm G)

        G    Am            Em
       Oh, life it's bigger,
       Em                       Am
       it's bigger that you and you are not me
                               Em
       The lengths that I will go to,
                             Am
       the distance in your eyes
       Em                  Dm
       Oh no I've said too much,
                     G
       I've said it all
                         Am
       That's me in the corner,
                         Em
       that's me in the spotlight,
                  Am
       losing my religion
                  Em
       Trying to keep up with you
             Am                      Em
       and I don't know if I can do it
                           Dm
       Oh no I've said too much,
                        G
       I haven't said enough
       
                                  F
       I thought that I heard you laughing,
                                  Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/E
       I thought that I heard you sing
         F                 Dm       Am
       I think I thought I saw you try
       
       





       {same as before}

       Every whisper of every waking hour
       I'm choosing my confessions
       Trying to keep an eye on you
       Like a hurt lost and blinded foal, oh
       Oh no I've said too much, I said it all
       Consider this, consider this
       a hint of the century,
       Consider this, a slip that brought me to my knees, pale
       What if all these fantasies come flailing around
       Now I've said too much
       I thought that I heard you laughing,
       I thought that I heard you sing
       I think I thought I saw you try
       
           Am
       But That was just a dream
       C               G
       That was just a dream
       
       {same as before}
       That's me in the corner,
       that's me in the spotlight,
       losing my religion
       Trying to keep up with you
       and I don't know if I can do it
       Oh no I've said too much,
       I haven't said enough
       I thought that I heard you laughing,
       I thought that I heard you sing
       I think I thought I saw you try
       But That was just a dream
       Try, cry, fly, and try
       That was just a dream
       Just a dream
       Just a dream
       Dream

       A       G       B    A     G      B     {keep repeating
                                                A G and B chords}

       Dusk is dawn is day, where did it go
       I've been laughing, fast and slow
       Moving in still-frame, howling at the moon
       Morning found me laughing, up and down, down, low, low, low
       Night suits me fine, morning suits me fine
       I've been so happy, happy, way up high, high
       In between, down below, low, low, low
       Low, low, low
       C             G          Em
       I skipped the part about love
       C             G          Em
       It seemed so silly to love
       
       A    G     B   .......
       Low, low, low
       Low, low, low
       I said the morning, it isn't your time
       Barefoot and naked, I can see your lines
       It doesn't bother me, if you are white
       Your grass is grassly wet
       Your light, white is bright, light, white, light
       
       C                 G          Em
       I'll skip the the part about love
       C            G           Em
       It seems so shallow, to love
       
       Low, low, low
       Low, low, low
       
       You and me, we know about time
       We know how things go, they come and go and live and grow
       They pass and go and glow and glow, up and down, high and low, low, low, low
       Low, low, low
       
       I skipped the part about love
       It seemed so silly to love
       I skipped the part about love
       It seemed so shallow, love
       Low, low, low
       Low, low, low
       I like you hands, all full of glory, all full of glory
       


       
       Near Wild Heaven
       ================


       Intro :   D    A      G   G D G
       
       A            G              A    G
       Whenever we hold each other, we hold each other
       F#m                       G     F#m               G
       There's a feeling that's gone, something has gone wrong
             A                   G             A 
       And I don't know how much longer I can take it
             G                 A
       How speed of heart can break it
               G                        A              G
       Take my head in your hands and shake it in this near wild heaven
                       D         A                  G
       Not near enough (living inside, living inside)
                                  D               A             G
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       
       Whatever it takes I'm giving, it's just a gift I'm giving
       Try to live inside, try to move inside
       And I always thought that it would make me smarter
       But it's only made me harder
       My heart flown open wide in this near wild heavan
       Not near enough (living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven
       
       Holding my hands together, holding my feet together
       Holding myself together in this near wild heaven
       not near enough (living inside, living inside)
       Not near enough (living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)
       Near wild heaven (living inside, living inside, living inside)

       chorus:  {this is a riff off of a D chord}

       E / / /    E7 / / /
       
       {then somewhere along there,  theres that bridge ....}
       
       D / / /   F# major / / /   G / / /   E7 / / /
       
       That's it, hope it wasn't too confusing.  You'll have to kind of piece
       these parts together as the song goes.  Many of the melody notes are found
       within the open chords.

       Belong
       ======


       Chords : Gmaj7 & CaddF# - repeat for whole song.

       Her world collapsed early Sunday morning.
       She got up from the kitchen table,
       folded the newspaper and silenced the radio.
       Those creatures jumped the barricades
       and headed for the sea, sea.  
       
       Those creatures jumped the barricades and headed for the sea.
       She began to breath, to breath at the thought of the sea
       she would sit and wisper to her child, belong.
       She held the child and whispered with calm, calm, belong.
       
       She stood and whispered to her child, belong.
       She held the child and whispered with calm, calm belong.
       
       Those barricades can only hold for so long.
       Her world collapsed early Sunday morning.
       She took the child, held tight, opened the window.
       The breath, this song held on and knew, knew, belong.
       


       
       Half A World Away
       =================


       {Intro:  Am  G  D  Em }
       
       {On the Am chord hammer on to the D string (second fret) in rhythm with
        the song.}
       
       A D7sus2 looks like this:
       (E) -0-           I could have called it an Am(add D) since the low A
       (B) -1-           is in the bass note I believe.  However, It leads into
       (G) -2-           a G chord, and musically, a D is what you'd want to
       (D) -0-           call it.
       (A) -0-
       (E) ---
       
       {Notice that the majority of this song follows the pattern:
       G /  D /  Em / Am D7sus2  It's really cool how the progression
       starts out on Am but in the middle of the song, the verse starts
       pretty much on G.}
       
         Am                G
        This could be the saddest dusk
              D           Em
        I've ever seen
                        Am
        Turn to the miracle
       
        G     D
        I alive
          Em         Am
        My mind is racing
          G            D
        As it always will
            Em                Am
        My hand is tired my heart aches
                G             D
        From half a world away
                  Em
        Hear my head swarm
            F
        To go it alone
        And hold it alone
         D
        Haul it alone
            Dsus4  D
        And hold it
         F
        Go it alone
        Hold it alone
       
       
         D7  G               D
        Oh lonely deeps and hollows
         Em
        Half a world
         Am       D7sus2 G
        Half the world away
              D
        My shoes are gone
             Em          Am D7sus2
        And life spent
           G                 D
        I had too much to drink
            Em
        I didn't think
            Am      D7sus2  G
        I didn't think of you
            D                 Em
        I guess that's all I needed
            F
        To go it alone
        And hold it alone
          D
        Haul it alone

        Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall
       
        D7        G              D
        Oh this lonely world is wasted

        Pathetic eyes high       life
              D                Em       Am
        The blinded tide is turned to sea
              G                 D
        The storm it came up strong
                  Em
        And it shook the trees
             Am D7sus2           G
        And blew      away our fear
         D                  Em
        I couldn't need to hear
       
        {same as before}

        To go it alone
        And hold it alone
        Haul it alone
        And hold it
        To go it alone
        And hold it alone
        Haul it along
        To go it alone
        And hold it alone
        Haul it along
        And hold it
        Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall
       
        This could be the saddest dusk
        I've ever seen
        Turn to the miracle
        I alive
        My mind is racing
        As it always will
        My hand is tired my heart aches
        From half a world away

       Me In Honey
       ===========


       Here is a neat lick to simulate the groovy bass
       to Me In Honey.  Only play the four strings 
       indicated in the tab.  It's basically a C# chord
       that's been modified a bit.  The h stands for 
       "hammer-on".The numbers stand for frets. This is 
       my first attempt to write compu - tab. (Hint: barre
       the 4th fret)

       I sat there looking ugly looking ugly and mean,
       Knew what you were saying, you were saying to me
       Baby's got some new rules, baby said she's had it with me
       Seems a shame to waste your time on me
       Seems alot to waste your time on me

       There's wild honey in this world
       Baby there's honey so sweet
       If you got to do what you do, do it with me
       Seems a shame to waste your time on me

       Left me to love,
                 G#7      lick
       What it's doing to me 
       
       Knocked a silly knock flat, sideways down
       Those things they pick you up, turn you around
       Say your piece, say you're sweet for me
       If it's all the same, share the pain with me
       If it's all the same, save the shame for me

       Baby's got some new rules, baby said she's had it with me
       There's a fly in the honey, baby's got a baby with me
       That's a part, that's a part of me
