2. _ Smoke Signal
Went to the movie matinee
To see the blue coats try to get away
From a smoke signal
Above the trees
A smoke signal
Shifting in the breeze
Some folks think it's make believe
Other folks ain't so naive
About a smoke signal
Could see it coming
A smoke signal
Hear the drums drumming
You don't believe what you read in the paper
You can't believe the stranger at your door
You don't believe what you hear from your neighbor
Your old neighborhood ain't even there no more
Indian maid will plant the seed
And cultivate a whole new breed
There's a smoke signal
Over your head
A smoke signal
You know what it said?
When they're torn out by the roots
Young brothers join in cahoots
To send a smoke signal
Near and far
A smoke signal
No matter where you are
You don't believe what they say on the radio
You don't believe what you see on the video
Living in the shadow of a doubt today
Still waiting for the smoke to clear away
Tried to get in touch with you
Tried to get my message through
By smoke signal
Honey, do ya read me
Smoke signal
Call me if you need me
There you were all in white
Standing out in the broad daylight
Lookin' like a smoke signal
From heaven above
Smoke signal
Oh, my love

3. _ Volcano
Got my motor runnin'
Little girl, are you comin'
Keep your candle burning bright
Soon as you are ready
Hold that ladder steady
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me in the dark
Like a ghost rider in your yard
Carving names in bark along the boulevard
I'd be a bushwhacker
Even be your hijacker
Keep your candle burning bright
When we cross that railroad track
There'll be no turning back
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me sitting here
Up on top of your fence
I'm like an alley cat up here, without a lick of sense
Volcano--i'm about to blow
Volcano--gonna overflow
Volcano--look out below
Don't leave me empty-handed
Like a villain in the woods
Prowling around the grounds, trying to make off with the goods
Volcano--i'm about to blow
Volcano--gonna overflow
Volcano--look out below

4. _ 4% Pantomime
The management said they were sorry
For the inconvenience you are suffering
And mr. booking agent, please have mercy
Don't book the jobs so far apart
We went up to griffith park
With a fifth of johnny walker red
And smashed it on a rock and wept
While the old couple looked on into the dark
Oh, richard, tell me if it's poker
Oh, richard, tell me, who's got the joker and is it poker
Deuces wild, like an only child
I'll see what you got. how much is in the pot
You pay the tips and i'll collect the chips
It's a full house tonight--everybody in town is a loser
Yeah, you bet
The dealer's been dealing me bad hands
From the bottom of the deck without the slightest blush
And i don't know whether to call or check
But right now i feel like i got a royal flush
And my lady didn't show from 'frisco
But we had to go on with the show
Everybody got stoned--it was a gas, it was a smash
Everybody got wrecked, checked. oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, belfast cowboy, lay your cards on the grade
Oh, belfast cowboy, can you call a spade a spade
Oh, richard, tell me, is the game poker
I can't understand who the fool is that holds this joker
Is it poker
Oh, belfast cowboy, lay your cards down on the table
Oh, belfast cowboy, do you think you're able

5. _ Where Do We Go From Here?
Did you hear about the eagle of distinction
The one that came on every friday afternoon
Well, it seems that eagle has near flown into extinction
Descending to the sand
His biggest enemy being man
Have you ever seen the freedom on the wing
Where do we go from here? i asked my woman
Where do we go from here? oh woman, my woman
La la la la la la la la la, she said, nowhere
Did you hear about the railroad going under
How it seems its days are numbered on the board
Well, i feel sad about the railroad and it's no wonder
It'd run right by my door
I can't hear it anymore
How can you get to sleep when the whistle don't moan
Where do we go from here? is there no way of knowing
Where do we go from here? oh, i need to be shown
La la la la la la la la la, they said, somewhere
Have you heard about the buffalo on the plain
And how at one time they'd stampede a thousand strong
Now that buffalo's at the zoo standing in the rain
Just one more victim of fate
Like california state
You sure do miss the silence when it's gone
Where do we go from here? i hear from no one
Where do we go from here? could you tell me, someone
La la la la la la la la la, i'd go anywhere

6. _ The Moon Struck One
(the | means a new measure and the / means the bass note on the current chord.)
Intro: |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |bb eb9 |
|g-7 |g-7 |d-7 |d-7 |
Julie and little john tyler lived in the house next door
G-7 d-7 |g-7 d-7 |e-7b5 |eb-j7 |
We would be the great triangle and to this we swore
D- |ebj7 |bb d-/a |g- |
Julie was my sweetheart, little john was my cohort
C /bb |/a /g |f |f |
And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart
Gb |gb |bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2
Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun
|gb |gb |bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 |
And promised to return before the moon struck one
Bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7 ||
Julie came running through the pasture--she was screaming at the sky
She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly
Little john was stung by a snake over by the lake
And it looked like he s really, really hurt--he was lying in the dirt
Who, we went it as fast as we could run
|bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 |
But we lost little john as the moon struck one
Bb ebadd2 |bb ebadd2 ||gb |gb |eb-7 |eb-7
I was vacant, julie was a bird with a broken wing
We were always afraid of what tomorrow might bring
We'll drive down to durango--up and leave this place
And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace
The car broke down when we had just begun
|bb ebadd2 |
And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one
Bb ebadd2 |[7x] then g-7

7. _ The River Hymn
(the | means a new measure and the / means the bass note on the current chord.)
[piano intro slow gospel thang]
Starts 3/4
Improv/no time
F |bb |f/c |d- |d- /d /e |
The ladies would put the baskets on the table
F |bb/c |d- |g- / f/a
And the men would sit beneath a shady tree
|bb |f/c |d- |d-/c |
The children would listen to a fable
Bb |a- |4/4 g7 |/ | meter
While something else came through to me
|f bb |f/c bb/d |f bb |f/c bb/d
The river got no end, just roll around the bend
|f bb |f/c bb |f |bb
Then pretty soon the women would all join in
|f |f
On the river hymn...
|c/g /e |/c / |f/a / |f/f / |
The whole congregation was standing on the banks of the river
C/g /e |/c / |f/a |c |f
We are gathered here to give a little thanks thanks
|3/4 bb |f/c |d- |d- /d /e |
The voice of the rapids will echo
F |bb/c |d- |g- / f/a |
And ricochet like an old water well
Bb |f/c |d- |d-/c |
Who d ever want to let go
Bb |a- |4/4 g7 |/ | meter
Once you sit beneath its spell
|f bb |f/c bb/d |f bb |f/c bb/d
It's dark and wide and deep, towards the sea it creeps
|f bb |f/c bb |f |bb
I'm so glad i brought along my mandolin
|f |f d |
To play the river hymn...
G |g c |
You can ride on it or drink it
F |/ / g g/b |
Poison it or dam it
C |/ / f f/a |
Fish in it and wash in it
Bb |c
Swim in it and you can die in it
|f |c |f ||
Run, you river, run
3/4 bb |f/c |d- |d- /d /e |
Son, you ain't never seen yourself
F |bb/c |d- |g- / f/a |
No crystal mirror can show it clear, come over here instead
Bb |f/c |d- |d-/c |
Son, you ain't never eased yourself
Bb |a- |4/4 g7 |/ | meter
Til you laid it down in a river bed
|f bb |f/c bb/d |f bb |f/c bb/d
If you hear a lonesome drone, it's as common as a stone
|f bb |f/c bb |f |bb
And gets louder as the day grows dim
|f |f
That's the river hymn...
|c/g /e |/c / |f/a / |f/f / |
The whole congregation was standing on the banks of the river
C/g /e |/c / |f/a |c ||f |f ||
We are gathered here to give a little thanks thanks

8. _ Endless Highway
G d
Take a silver dollar and put it in your pocket,
A e
Never let it slip away.
G d a
Always be a man, not a boy gone astray.
D d/c# bm bm/a e a
When ya get half cra-zy from the august heat
D d/c# bm bm/a
Or on a frozen, rotted road
E
With no one to complain to about your achin' feet.
(chorus:)
A g d a
You're gonna walk that endless highway,
D e a
Walk that high-way till you die.
G d a
All you children goin' my way,
D e a
Better tell your home-life sweet goodbye.
When i see a detour up ahead,
Well, i leave it far behind,
Who knows what you're apt to find there.
With the cost of livin, and the price of dyin',
Well it look like t'me this time i wont be buyin'
(chorus)
When they get a scapegoat by the throat,
It's hard labour and cold beans.
If ya get away real quick,
You'll be eatin from the poison peanut machine.
Well, i sing by night, wander by day.
I'm on the road and it looks like i'm here to stay.
(chorus)

9. _ Life Is A Carnival
E
You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
Run away, run away--it's the restless age
Look away, look away--you can turn the page
A a7 e
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
F#m e/g# a b7sus e
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
E a/e e a/e
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
E a/e e a/e
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot
Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree
From trying to deal with people--people you can't see
Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
Give away, give away, all the souvenirs
We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world
The flat old world
The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl
Life is a carnival--it's in the book
Life is a carnival--take another look
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival--believe it or not

When i get there i wonder what she'll do

And then one night i was drinkin' and a-thinkin'
In the bottom of the glass i could see bessie's face so strong
I'm just goin' down the road t' see bessie
Oh, see her soon
Goin' down the road t' see bessie smith
When i get there i wonder what she'll do
When she sees me will she know what i've been through?
Will old times start to feelin' like new?
When i get there will our love still feel so true?
Yet all i have, i'll be a-bringin' it to you
Oh bessie, sing them old-time blues

11. _ Don't Do It
Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
A sacrifice would make you happy if nothing for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
My pride is all gone whether i'm right or wrong
I need you baby to keep on keepin' on
You know i'm trying to my best
Oh i'm trying to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me
While i've been trying to do my best
Well i've tried to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
Go down to the river and there i be
I'm gonna jump in girl, but you don't care bout me
Open up your eyes
Can't ya see i love ya?
Open up you heart, girl
Can't ya see i need ya?
Oh baby don't do it, do it, do it
Don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me
While i've been trying to do my best
You know i've tried to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart

12. _ Thinkin' Out Loud
I was thinkin' out loud
Talking to myself
I was up on a cloud
There was nobody else
No, no i did not call
I never was allowed
To speak up at all
I was just thinkin' out loud
Transylvania train, circus never came
The heroes are all gone
No trampoline, fell without a scream
Who's looking for a job
Before i realized, i was hypnotized
Flashback to the past
Cross-eyed jack, monkey on his back
We knew it would not last
Room service gone off duty
The bellman has retired
This hotel is a beauty
Even the house dick's been fired
Then the sky came crashing down
And knocked me off this cloud
When i fell to the ground
I was just thinkin' out loud

Till you won't recognize it at all
Streets were wide open
Till the break of dawn
'twas frisco in its heyday
Imported from hong kong
For about five dollars
Or one thousand yen
You could gamble n ramble in a brothel
Or take it to the opium den
Shoot out in chinatown
They nailed up every door
They're gonna level it to the ground
And close it up for evermore
Confucius had once stated
All across the land
Below the surface, crime and love
They go hand in hand
The fire dragons burn
Buddha's lost his smile
But swears that we will meet again
In just a little while
1st chorus
B/f# e add2 |b5 under far east jam fade
Till you won't recognize it at all

Oh, the streets of rome are filled with rubble,
E a d
Ancient footprints are everywhere.

You could almost think that your seeing double,
E a
On the cold, dark night on the spanish stairs.

Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room,

Where i got me a date with a pretty little girl from greece.

She promised she'd be there with me,

When i paint my masterpiece.

Oh, the hours we spent, inside the coliseum.
E a
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time,
D a d a
Oh those mighty kings of the jungle, i could hardly stand to see'em
E a
Yes it sure has been a long, hard drive.
E a
Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory,
E a d
When i ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese,
A d a
Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody
E a
When i paint my masterpiece.
Am c#m
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola,
D bb e d c#m d e
Oh to be back in the land of, coca-cola.

Well i left rome, and landed in brussels,

On a plane ride so bumby that i almost cried,

Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling mussels,

Everyone was there to greet me when i stepped inside,
E a
Newspaper men eating candy,
E a d
Had to be held down by big police.
A d a e a
Someday, its gonna be different, when i paint my masterpiece.
