Date: Tue, 30 Jan 96 16:47:16 GMT Sender: djb@maths.bath.ac.uk Hi, I downloaded this file a while ago, and found some seriously wrong chords in Try Not To Breathe and Everybody Hurts, so here's the corrected file in its entirety. -- Duncan. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: padd0008@gold.tc.umn.edu From: ssp5688@ocvaxa.cc.oberlin.edu (BANANAFISH CHORUS: Play 3 times.

HTSWIMMING" Intro.... G B(note)-C G B(note)-D

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night... G B(note)-C D G B(note)-C A C D (over and over again for the whole song... the two lines above are played for each line) Nightswimming deserves a quiet night The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago Turn around backwards so the windshield shows Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse Still It's so much clearer I forgot my shirt at the water's edge The moon is low tonight Nightswimming deserves a quiet night i'm not sure all these people understand It's not like years ago The fear of getting caught The recklessness in water They cannot see me naked These things they go away Replaced by every day Nightswimming remembering that night September's coming soon i'm pining for the moon and what if there were two Side by side in orbit Around the fairest sun A bright type could never drawn could not describe, Nightswimming You I thought I knew you, you I cannot judge, you I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly, underneath my breath Nightswimming The photograph reflects every streetlight a reminder Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night

WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen) [B-Side to "Drive"] They sen^Dmtenced me to twenty years of bo^Amredom For try^Dming to change the system from wi^Amthin I'm com^Dming now I'm coming to rew^Amard them Fi^Grst we take Manhatt^Fan,^E then we take Berl^Amin

s Of Love" (Robin Hitchcock) [B-Side to "Man on the Moon"] I've tried to lay out the rythym as graphically as possible.

(d = down, ^ = up) d d ^ ^ d ^ d d ^ ^ d ^ d d ^ ^ d d d ^ ^ d ^

^G(intro, same as firs^Ct sung line) ^G ^C ^G ^G Maybe to^Cnight you're ^Gachin' ^C ^G ^G For someone you're ^Fdreamin' o^Cf ^C ^DTomorrow ^Dyou'll be ^Cwakin ^CInto the ^DArms, into the ^D/G*arms of ^CLove ^C

(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.) Maybe tonight you're cryin Like a poor wounded dove Tell me you'll soon be flying Into the Arms, into the arms of love Maybe tonight you're takin You couldn't get enough Honey you'll soon be wakin' Into the Arms, into the arms of Love [Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung verse.] Maybe the world is falling It wasn't strong enough Tell me you'll soon be crawling Into the Arms, into the arms of Love (repeat to end)

LESS" [B-Side to "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite"] Verses: Chords: Em/Bm (?) (I don't think its a chord, just some random Peter stuff)/G alternate w/:Em/Bm (?)/G/Bm (?) tab goes like this:

E - - 0 - - 2 - - 3 - - 2 - - 2 - B - 0 - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 G 0 - - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - alternate with: E - - 0 - - 2 - - 3 - - 3 - - 3 - B - 0 - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 G 0 - - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - Prechorus (if that is what it is): ["They come and they come..."] B/A/D/E Chorus: ["Don't talk to me..."] chords: G/F/Em tab goes like this: E - - - 3 - - 3 B - 0 - - 0 - - G 0 - 0 - - 0 - E - - - 1 - - 1 B - 1 - - 1 - - G 2 - 2 - - 2 - E - - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 B - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - G 0 - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - "FRETLESS" He's got his work, and she comes easy They each come around when the other is gone Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son, The dye has been cast, the battle is won The bullets were blanks, a double locked gun I couldn't admit to a minute of fun. And they come and they come and they come I accept it with a gentle tongue No words spoken, no ? kept Take it, stomp twice, ring bell Tether that ringing, freeze Enough with the rifle and talk already We all know what it means Take this conversation to your great divide I can only swallow what I ate, And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her. And they come and they come and they come I accept it with a gentle tongue No heart broken, no ? kept Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone Reach for each other before you leave Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E Don't threaten me with a gentle tease, Don't threaten me with angry Please please please don't try to tell me what I am And they come and they come and they come I accept it with a gentle tongue No words spoken, no ? except Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone Don't talk to me about being alone.... Ends on Em.
