1. _ Teen Angst (what The World Needs Now)
Dm-g7-c-g-d
D-g7-c-g-d
I don't know what the world mayneed,
But i'm sure as hell that is starts with me.
And that's a wisdom,
I've laughed at.
I don't know what the world may want,
But a good stiff drink it surely don't.
So i think i'll go and fix myself a tall one.
Cause, what the world needs now
Is a new kind of tension.
Cause the old one just bores me to death.
Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like i need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
But a v8 engine is a good start for me.
Think i'll drive to find a place,
To be surly.
I don't know what the world may want,
But some words of wisdom could comfort us.
Think i'll leave that up to someone wiser.
Cause, what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like la la la la la
Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like i need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
And i never grasped your complexities.
I'd be happy just to get your attention.
And, i don't know what the world may want,
But your long, sweet body lying next
To mine could certainly raise my spirits.
Cause what the world needs now
Is a new frank sinatra
So i can get you in bed.
Cause what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like i need a hole in my head.

2. _ St. Cajetan
A(-am-a-a7-a embellishment)
F#m-d
A-g-d-f#m-e
A-cm-a-g-a
You know i don't feel well.
I gotta thirst in my mouth.
And all i want is a cool drink of water.
You know i don't feel well.
I got salt in my wounds.
And all i want is a cool drink of water.
Can you hear me, st. cajetan?
I once knew a well so sweet.
I put my lips, my lips to the pail to drink.
But i would give it all up for some water.
You know i don't feel well.
Got the salty taste of my tears.
And all i want is some relief from this.
You know i don't feel well
Been tossed and turned on this ocean.
And all i want is this one wish.
Can you hear me, st. cajetan?
All i want is a cool drink of water.
Can you hear me, st. cajetan?
All i want is a cool drink of water.
Can you hear me, st. cajetan?
All i want is a cool drink of water.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me, st. cajetan?

3. _ Mr. Wrong
Origin: cracker
G-f(bass c)-g-c-g-d(7)-g-c-g
D-g-d(7)-g-c-g-g-d-c(7)-g-d(7)-g
C-g-c7-d(7)
(ending:c-g-d-d7-g-c-g-f-g)
Well, meet me by the river that goes nowhere.
Let me lay my sorry trip on you.
Won't you meet me by the river, little darling'?
I might just let you see my bad tattoo.
Well i was gonna bring you flowers, but i didn't.
It's the thought that counts and i think i'm a bit too broke.
But there's some change in my ashtray--maybe just enough to pay.
For a half pint of somethin', probably make us choke.
Chorus:
Well you know i'd rather not go and meet your family.
They'd probably send me back where i belong.
Don't want to hear about mr. right.
'cause he's out of town tonight.
Baby come and spend some time with mr. wrong.
I drive a one-eyed malibu without a muffler.
And a tape deck that works if you kick it hard enough.
And baby if you like to read, i've got some great pornography.
And a ten pound flashlight rolling in the trunk.
Chorus
Now, do you have a girlfriend and does she look as good as you?
Would she like to meet my brother?
He'll be out of jail in a month or two.
Chorus
Where i come from they call me mr. wrong.

G-d-em-c-g-d-g
D-g-c-g-d-c-d-g-d(bass f#)-em-c-d-g (ending: c-g-d-c-g)
Chorus:
Someday well i'll get it right.
Yeah one day i'll get it right.
Someday well i'll get it right.
Yeah one day i'll get it right.
And i had a dream last night
That i was feeling barely human.
So save me a place in your parking lot.
And save me a place beside you
When you lie down to sleep at night.
Someday i'll get it right.
Chorus
And if you see the dark clouds
Gathering out on the horizon.
Don't be alarmed
Their just there for me.
Just save me a place beside you
When you lie down to sleep at night.
Someday i'll get it right.

7. _ I See The Light
F#m i'd really like to see you now
A in your father's combat boots

For the grace that others have inside
The simple peace they make with life
They feel love like some summer's night

8. _ Dr. Bernice
Intro:
Dm-a7-dm (ending:dm-dm7-dm6-bbmaj7-a-a7-dm)
Okay 1 2 3 2 2
Dm baby don't you drive around with a7 dr. bernice.
She's not a lady doctor at dm all.
She's got hands like a man.
With a7 hair on the back.
She'll crush you with her em-dm-brace.
Though the f wind may c whisper and f moan some-a-times
We dm all need a gm kind place a7 to dm live.
Though the f wind may c whisper and f howl at your a door
We dm all need the gm comfort a7 of dm friends.
Baby don't you drive around with dr. bernice.
That ain't a real cadillac.
It's a delta 88 spray painted black
With fake leather seats from warren's
Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
On a hot desert night it is still.
Though the world may whisper and howl at your door
You're not obliged to let them all in.
Okay johnny.
Dm-a7-dm
Dm-a7-dm
F-c-f-a-dm-gm-a7-dm
F-c-f-a-dm-gm-a7-dm
Baby don't you drive ride in that faux cadillac
If you must please ride in the back.
If you sing while you ride you'll be a siren tonight.
Spare this poor sailor's life from the rocks.
Though the wind may whisper a melody now.
We can't find a tune of our own.
Though the world may whisper and blow in your face
And tangle the hair on your head.
On a hot desert night we can drive down the road
And the stars will spell out your name.
On a hot desert night with the windows down wide.
The sirens will sing me their song.
And the ghosts of the sailors who died on the rocks
Feel not a twitch of regret.
Though the wind may tangle the hair on your head.
You sing like a siren to me.
On a hot desert night, the caravan stops
At the oasis next to your heart.
The soundtrack is played by some aged british queen
On bbc radio one.
Though the wind my whisper and epic sometime
The cast must include karen black.
Though the symphony strings shifts with the sand.
You sing like a siren to me.
You gm sing like a a7 siren to dm me
You gm sing like a a7 siren to dm me dm7-dm6-bbmaj7-a-a7-dm

E-a-e-d-a-d-a-f#m-e-d(-a-d embellishment)
(ending:f#m)
As far as i know, the world don't spin
They carry you around in your bed
And rearrange the stars all night
To satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Could i redeem myself
If i was someone else
I'd walk on the water
In your dad's swimming pool
Show you my bloody palms
If i thought that would satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Satisfy you
Now i'm not wise, and i'm not old
So i'll be bitter, and i'll be cruel
I just did it less each and every day
Did i satisfy
Did i saaaaaaaatisfy-ha-ah-ah-ay ha-ah-ah you
Until satisfy-ha-ah-ah-ay ha-ah-ah you
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until satis--oh till i satisfy (satisfy you, satisfy you)
Until i satisfy

Hey hey it's okay to make
A little mess out of your life.

To show you how to have a good time.

Come and party with your spirit guide.

Well i've been up to pa-g-ris, and i've slept in a c park.
Went down to barce-g-lona, someone broke in my c car
And i'll search the world f over for my angel in c(sus4) black.
Yeah, i'll search the world g over for a euro-trash c(sus4) girl.
Took the train down to athens, and i slept in a fountain.
Some swiss junkie in turin, ripped me off for my cash.
Yeah, i'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a euro-trash girl.
The crs on the metro shook me down for a bribe.
On my knees for the sergeant when my passport arrived.
Yeah, i'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a euro-trash girl.
Euro-trash girl, euro-trash girl
Euro-trash girl, euro-trash girl
Yeah, i'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a euro-trash girl.
Called my mom from a payphone, i said "i'm down to my last."
She said "i sent you to college, now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married, well she hung up the phone.
You know she never did like me, but i can stand on my own.
Sold my plasma in amsterdam: spent it all in a night
Buying drinks at the melk weg for a soldier in drag.
Yeah, i'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a euro-trash girl.
Euro-trash girl
My euro-trash girl
Yeah, i'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a euro-trash girl.
Solo johnny
G-c-g-c

Got a tattoo in berlin and a case of the crabs.
A rose and a dagger on the palm of my hand.
Yeah, i'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a euro-trash girl
Euro-trash girl
My euro-trash girl
Yeah, i'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a euro-trash girl.
