King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1 (with thanks to cosmicsoul07)
F, Bb, F, C, Bb x2
F When you were young
You were the Cking of carrot Bbflowers F
And how you built a tower Ctumbling through the Bbtrees C
In holy rattlesnakes that Bbfell all around your Ffeet
F Bb F C Bb
F And your mom would stick a fork right Cinto daddy's Bbshoulder F
And dad would throw the garbage all aCcross the floorBb C
As we would lay and learn what Bbeach other's bodies were Ffor
F, Bb, F, C, Bb
F And this is the room
One afterCnoon I knew I could Bblove you F
And from above you how I Csank into your Bbsoul C
Into that secret place where Bbno one dares to Fgo
F, Bb, F, C, Bb
F And your mom would drink until she waCs no longerBb speaking F
And dad would dream of all the Cdifferent ways to Bbdie C
Each one a little more than Bbhe could dare to Ftry
F, Bb, F, C, Bbx4
end on F

and I will spit until I learn how to Cspeak up thru the
doorway as the sideboards Fcreek with them ever
C F Bb F C x2
proclaiming me me ohhhhhhhhhhhh
uFp and over we go the weight it sits on down and I don't know
I will shout until they know what I meCan I mean the

F Bb F C x 4 (somewhere in the oh parts, im not really sure)
ohhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh

wGhat a curious lEmife we have found here toCnight
there is music that sDounds from the street
tGhere are lights in the cEmloud
Anne's ghost all Caround

soft Emand sweet
How the Cnotes all bend and Dreach above the tGreesEm C D
Emnow how i remember yoCu
how i would push my fingers througGh
your mouth to make those muscles movDe
that make your voice so smooth and sweeEmt
And now we keep where we don't knoCw
All secrets sleep in winter clotheGs
with one you loved so long agDo
now he don't even know his nameEm C G D
WGhat a beautiful faEmce

Two Headed Boy

GTwo headed Bboy
All Gfloating in Bglass
The Gsun it has Bpassed
Now it's Cblacker than Gblack
I can Chear as you tap on yourD jar
I am Clistening to hear where you Gare
I am Clistening to hear where you Gare
GTwo headed Bboy
GPut on sunday sBhoes
And Gdance round the Broom to aCccordion Gkeys
With the Cneedle that sings in your Dheart
Catching Csignals that sound in the Gdark
Catching Csignals that sound in the Gdark
We will Dtake off our Cclothes
And they'll be placing Gfingers through the Dnotches in your Cspine
And when all is breaking , Geverything that youD could keep inCside
now you're eyes aint moving Amnow, they just lay there in their clDoud
GTwo headed Bboy
With Gpulleys and Bweights
CreGating aB radio plCayed just for tGwo
In the Cparlor with a moon across herD face
And Cthrough the music he sweetly Gdisplays
Silver Cspeakers that sparkle allG day
CMade for his Clover who's floating and Amchoking with her hands across her DfaceC
And in the Gdark we will Dtake off our cClothes
And they'll be placing fGingers through the Dnotches in your Cspine
And when all is breaking, Geverything that Dyou could keep iCnside
now you're eyes ain't movingAm now, they just lay there in their cDlouououououd
GTwo headed Bboy
There's noG reason toB grieve
The Gworld that you Bneed is wrapped in Cgold silver Gsleeves
Left Cbeneath Christmas trees in the Dsnow
And I will Ctake you and leave you Galone
Watching Cspirals of white softly Gflow
Over your Ceyelids and all you did
Will wait until the point when you let Dgo
CDee dee dee dee dGe -> multiple times
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fool-- im not so sure on this one but if playin through the whole album you
can interlude with these chords-- i think theyre right
i think its something like:
altering between-- Am Em Am Em x2 then G followed by a quick F
before going back to Am Em Am Em (multiple times)
then when it gets higher, im not sure, but i think it then just alternates
between C E C E (also multiple times)
then it goes right back into Am Em Am Em
yeah so i use these chords when im playing along with the song on the album and it
works out pretty good but if you have any suggestions please share

Holland, 1945 (thanks to americanpig11)
C G x2
CThe only girl I've evGer loved
CWas born with roses in Gher eyes
CBut then they buried her Galive
One evening Dnineteen-forty-Cfive
With just her Dsister at her Gside
And only Dweeks before the Cguns
All came and Drained on everGyone
Now she's a Dlittle boy in CSpain
Playing Dpianos filled with Gflames
On empty Drings around the Csun
All sing to Dsay my dream has Gcome
But now we must Cpick up every Gpiece
Of the Clife we used to Glove
Just to Ckeep ourselves
At lGeast enough to caDrry on
ACnd now we ride the circus Gwheel
CWith your dark brother wrapped inG white
CSays it was good to be aGlive
But now he Drides a comet's Cflame
And won't be Dcoming back aGgain
The Earth looks Dbetter from a Cstar
That's right aDbove from where you Gare
He didn't Dmean to make you Ccry
With sparks that Dring and bullets Gfly
On empty Drings around your Cheart
The world just Dscreams and falls aGpart
But now we must pCick up every pGiece
Of the Clife we used to Glove
Just to Ckeep ourselves
At lGeast enough to caDrry on
And Ghere's Awhere Cyour Cmother Gsleeps
And Ghere Ais Cthe Croom where your Gbrothers were Dborn
GInAdenCtions Cin the Gsheets
Where their GboAdies Conce Cmoved but don't Gmove anDymore
And it's so Csad to Gsee the Cworld Gagree
That they'd Crather see their Gfaces filled with Dflies
GAll Awhen CI'd Cwant to Gkeep white Droses in their eGyes
(ps- instead of tabbing it out to accommodate the horn part that fills the
end, i suggest just moving in to communist daughter, which starts on G)

Communist Daughter (thanks to patjack)
G D C C x2
SweetG communist
The communist daughter
DStanding on the sea-weed water
CSemen stains the mountain tops
Csemen stains the mountain tops
With Gcocoa leaves along the border
DSweetness sings from every corner
CCars careening from the clouds
CThe bridges burst and twist around
And Gwanting something warm and moving
DBends towards herself the soothing
CProves that she must still exist
CShe moves herself about her fist
Sweet Gcommunist
The communist daughter
DStanding on the sea-weed water
CSemen stains the mountain tops
C G D C C x2 G <- end on
semen stains the mountain tops

Oh Comely (thanks to americanpig11 again)
EOh comely C
I will be with you when you lose your Ebreath
Chasing the onlyC meaningful memory you thought you had Eleft
With some pretty bright and bubbly Cterrible scene
That was doing her thing on your Echest
But oh comely C
It isn't as pretty as you'd like to Gguess
In your memory you're drunk on your awe to me
It Cdoesn't mean anything at alEl
Oh comely C
All of your friends are letting you Eblow
Bristling and ugly C
Bursting with fruits falling out from the Eholes
Of some pretty bright and bubbly Cfriend
You could need to say comforting things in your Eear
But oh comely C
There isn't such one friend that you could find Ghere
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
I'll Ccrush him with everything I own
Esay what you want to say
Hang for your hollow ways.
CMoving your mouth to pull out
All your miracles Eaimed fCor meeDeeeGe. D G D G D E
EYour father made fetuses
With flesh licking ladies
While Cyou and your mother
Were asleep in the trailer park
EThunderous sparks from the dark of the stadiums
The Cmusic and medicine you needed for comforting
So Emake all your fat fleshy fingers to moving
And Cpluck all your silly strings
And bend all your notes for me
ESoft silly music is meaningful magical
The Cmovements were beautiful
All in your ovaries
EAll of them milking with green fleshy flowers
While Cpowerful pistons were sugary sweet machines
ESmelling of semen all under the garden
Was Call you were needing when you still believed in me
Esay what you want to say
Hang for your hollow ways.
CMoving your mouth to pull out
All your miracles Eaimed fCor meeDeeeGe. D G D G D E
E(Da Cda da part)
EI know they buried her body with others
Her Csister and mother and 500 families
And Ewill she remember me 50 years later
I Cwished I could save her in some sort of time machine
EKnow all your enemies
We Cknow who are enemies are
EKnow all your enemies
We Cknow who are enemies are
Am E (x3)
AmGoldaline my dear
We will fold and freeze together
EFar away from here
There is sun and spring and green forever
But Amnow we move to feel
For ourselves inside some stranger's stomach
EPlace your body here
Let your skin begin to blend itself with AmmineE
Amde de de de de Ela da da da (x2) end on Am

Ghost (thanks to indiglopulse)
EGhost, ghost I know you live within me
Feel as you fly
In thunderclouds above the city
Into one that I
ALoved with all that was left within me
Until we tore in two
ENow wings and rings and there's so many
Waiting here for ByoAu E
EAnd she was born in a bottle rocket, 1929
With wings that ring around a socket
Right between her spiAne
AAll drenched in milk and holy water
Pouring from the skEy
EI know that she will live for ever
She won't ever diBe
BShe goes and now she knows she'll never be afrEaid
BTo watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escaEpe
Dee, de dAe dEe de...
Bridge:
A E A E B A E
EAnd one day in New York City baby
A girl fell from the sky
From the top of a burning apartment building
Fourteen stories higAh
AAnd when her spirit left her body
How it split the suEn
EI know that she will live for ever
All goes on and on and on and
BShe goes and now she knows she'll never be afraEid
BTo watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escEape
Dee, de dAe Ede de...
End:

Untitled-- this one is pretty pointless when just playing on guitar, but if
playing along with the album i think these are the exact chords to use-- also play
them as the guitar sounding part in the background not as the whiny horn like part
playing the main part-- if done right it sounds very good!
E A (alternate between these for a while)
then alternating E B (this comes in when the horn part sounds different, i
believe after the second pause)
then back to E and A before the extended E strumming right at the end
i think thats it-- sounds good to me!
