we must rip out all the epilogues in the books that we have read 
C                                 F
and to the face of avert criminal strapped firmly to a chair
C                           G              C
we must stare, we must stare, we must stare

C                                    F                C
we must take all of the medicines to expensive now to sell
C                               F            G
set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell
C                                     F
and to the ear of every anarchist who sleeps but doesn't dream

C F x 3

C                                   F               C
we must blend into the choir sing a static with the whole
C                              F              G 
we must memorize 9 numbers and deny we have a soul
C                                         F
and in this endless race for property and privilege to be won
C                       G            C
we must run, we must run, we must run

C                                        F                  C
we must hang up in the belphry where the bats and moonlight laugh

C                                     F             G 
we must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
C                                               F
and into the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlight and our love
C                             G               C
we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge

F              G               Am                  F
oh my mornings coming back the whole worlds waking up
F                  G                 Am          F
all the city buses swimming past i'm happy just because 
G
i found out i'm really no one

Big River - Johnny Cash


E
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
                                          B7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
E                                                   A
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
     E                   B7            E
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry,
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

I met her accidentally in St. Paul (Minnesota).
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl.
Then I heard my dream was back Downstream cavortin' in Davenport,
And I followed you, Big River, when you called.

Then you took me to St. Louis later on (down the river).
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone, boy, she's gone.
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block.
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone.

Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on.
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans.
Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf.
She loves you, Big River, more than me.

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River.
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

Sublime - Boss DJ

Boss D.J.  by Sublime from "Robbin the Hood"
words and music by Bradley Nowell   tabbed by Noel Krueger

it starts off with lyrics

             G                  C                  G             C
There is a steel train comin through, and i would take it if i could, 
        G               C             G            C
and i would not lie to you because Sunday mornin soon will come,
          G                   C
and the things will be much easier to say,
 G                          C                      G
upon the microphone like a boss d.j., and i won't walk up upon the sea
         C             G                 C
like it was dry land, boss d.j. ain't nothing but a man
    G                                     C
no trouble no fuss (tap guitar twice),    I know why (short pause)
G      C       G                  C 
It's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice,
G      C       G                  C
It's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
             G                                    C
cause i'm spendin' all of a my time, it's just stones and sticks  (not sure
of that line).
      G                                C 
cause on the microphone is where i'm gonna get my fix
               G                          C
just let the lovin take a hold, cause it will if you let it
      G                      C   
i'm funky not a junky but i know where to get it
    G                                     C
no trouble no fuss  (tap guitar twice),   I know why (short pause)
G      C       G                  C
it's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
G      C       G                  C
it's sooo nice, I wanna hear the same song twice

(for the next part, switch to bar chords for A# (sixth fret) and G (third fret)
for C use the eighth fret, and for the D use the tenth fret for the root)

   G            Bb            G            Bb     
oooweee girl, ooowee girl, ooowee girl, ooowee ee girl
          C                        D       C                      D      
and there really ain't no time to waste, really ain't no time to hate,
              C        D     C       D      
ain't got no time to waste, time to hate, 
G                                 C       D
really ain't no time to make the time go way,  ay ay ay ay

(go back to regular chords until the A#, then use a bar chord like before)
           G                    C             G  
so mister d.j. don't stop the music, i wanna know 
          C                  G     Bb
are you feelin the same way too?  
                      G            Bb            G             Bb 
i wanna rock it with you girl, ooo ooo girl, ooo ooo girl, ooo hoo hoo,

solo
C bar chord, D bar chord, repeat (strum slowly, picking each string, listen
to the song to get the right feeling, you pick the G,B, and E strings four
times before moving to the D bar chord and vice versa.

he sings the ooo hoo stuff while doing the solo.

you do the C, D, thing four times, and the fourth time strumming the E,A,
and D strings of both the C and D chords before moving back to the G.
it picks up--
      G        C       G                 C                
cause  it's sooo nice,  i wanna hear the same song twice
G       C       G                 C        
it's sooo nice,  i wanna hear the same song twice (short pause)
D               C                    D   
now-a-days the songs on the radio all, all drive me crazy

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea         chords furnished by Ben Hargrave
writen by Jeff Mangum
performed by Neutral Milk Hotel


chorus: G Em C D

G                 Em
What a beautiful face 
                       C
i have found in this place
                  D 
that is circling all around the sun. 
G                  Em
What a beautiful dream
                          C
that could flash on the screen 
                  D                    G
in a blink of an eye and be gone from me
      Em 
soft and sweet
         C                 D                G Em C D
let me hold it close and keep it here with me



and one day we will die
and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
but for now we are young
let us lay in the sun
and count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be 
in the arms of all i'm keepin here with me


what a curious life we have found here tonight
there is music that sounds from the street
there are lights in the cloud
*Anna's ghost all around 
hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Bridge: Em C G D
Em                   C
now how i remember you
                                  G
how i would push my fingers through
                                    D
your mouth to make those muscles move
                                       Em
that make your voice so smooth and sweet
                                  C
And now we keep where we don't know 
                                  G
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
                             D
with one you loved so long ago

now he don't even know his name


Chorus: G Em C D

What a beautiful face 
i have found in this place
that is circling all round the sun
and when we meet on a cloud 
I'll be laughing out loud 
I'll be laughing with everyone i see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
