Begin The Begin

Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can
I wish to meet each one of you and you me you
Fall On Me

Intro : a little ditty around a C chord
{ same as before}
There's the progress we have found
A way to talk around the problem
Building towered foresight isn't anything at all
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
When I was young and full of grace
And spirit hid a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit I will not tell
You're on your honor not to tell
Swan Swan H

Verse - Am Dm
Chorus - Em F
Bridge - G Bm C D
Swan swan hummingbird
Hurrah we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Girl and dog he bore his cross
A long low time ago people talk to me
Johnny Reb what's the price of pans
Forty a piece or three for one dollar
Hey captain don't you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks
Night weaves her hair chains
Years you wouldn't bring back sing
Wooden beams and dove tails sweep
I struck that picture ninety times
I walked that path a hundred ninety
Long low time ago people talk to me
A pistol hot cup of rhyme
The whiskey is water the water is wine
Marching feet Johnny Reb what's the price of heroes
Six and one half dozen the other
Tell that to the captain's mother
Hey captain don't you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks
Night weaves her hair chains
Swan swan hummingbird
Hurrah we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Long low time ago people talk to me
A pistol hot cup of rhyme
The whiskey is water the water is wine

I Believe
=========
On this song, you can simulate that little guitar melody by starting off with a plain jane E-chord, then playing an Esus4, and then stretch your pinky down to the 4th fret of the D string to make that F# note.
When IE was young and full of grace
and sEpirited a rattlesnake
When IE was young and fever fell
My spEirit I will not tell
You're on yAour honor not to teF#mll
I belEieve in coyotes and time as an abstract
ExplEain the change the difference betAween
What you want and wF#mhat you need there's the kBey
Your adventure fG#mor today what do you do
BetwAeen the hours of the daBy

I --- I -------- I ---- believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what IA believe in
When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit I will not tell
You're on your honor on your honor
Trust in your calling make sure your calling's true
Think of others the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make practice practice makes perfect
Perfect is a fault and fault lines change
I believe my humor's wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
same as before

And I believe the holds are slipping

And change is what I believe in
