Beating so fast in search of new dreams 
F#m                           Dm 
A love that will last within your heart

And a loser I will be, for I've never been a winner in my life.

Though it's the animal in me, But I'd rather be 
a beggar man on the shelf.

And so the story goes they wore the clothes

The whale of a lie like they hope it was

And the Goodmen of Tomorrow

Had their feet in the wallow

And their heads of Brawn, were nicer shorn

And how they bought their positions with saccharin and trust.

By your lack of Conclusions 
 
D  D  Em  A7 
 
I was Stone and he was Wax 
So he could scream and still relax, unbelievable 
And we frightened the small children away 
And our talk was old and dust would flow 
Thru our veins and Lo! it was midnight 
Back o' the kitchen door 
Like the grim face on the Cathedral floor 
And the solid book we wrote 
Cannot be found today 
It was stalking time for the Moonboys 
The Bewlay Brothers 
With our backs on the arch 
In the Devil-may-be-here 
But He can't sing above that 
Oh, We were Gone 
Real Cool Traders 
We were so Turned On 
You thought we were Fakers 
 
D  D  Em  A7 
 
Now the dress is hung, the ticket pawned 
the Factor Max that proved the fact 
is melted down, 
And woven on the edging of my pillow 
Now my Brother lays upon the Rocks 
He could be dead. He could be not, 
He could be You. 
He's Camelian, comedian Corinthian and Caricature 
"Shooting-up Pie-in-the-Sky" 
The Bewlay Brothers 
In the feeble and the Bad 
The Bewlay Brothers 
In the Blessed and Cold 
In the Crutch-hungry dark 
Was where we flayed our Mark 
Oh, We were Gone 
Kings of Oblivion 
We were so Turned On 
In the Mind-Warp Pavilion 
 
Hm A 
Lay me Place and bake me Pie 
G Em 
I'm starving for me Gravy 
Hm A 
Leave my shoes, and door unlocked

I might just slip away

Just for the Day, Hey! [Repeat last 2 lines into fade]

Back to verse for "I miss your soup, and I miss your bread . . . " 
 
Follow this with the chorus of   D   F  G  A for "Just wear that dress 
when you di-i-i-i-ine." 
 
Then comes a second Bridge for some very narcissistic lyrics and 
a very basic A  G  D progression of chords.

Then back to acoustic intro. The rest of the song is pretty 
self-explanatory, save for a few guitar lead inserts and other 
effects. 
 
During the "D-A-V-I-D" section of the song, this fill is played 
over and over about ten times.

This last fill is played near the end during the whole verse 
and is almost inaudible. But it is there. It ends the song. Let 
this ring to end it.

I Still dont know what i was waiting for 
F G 
And my time was running wild, 
F 
A million dead-end streets. 
C Em 
And every time i thought i'd got it made 
F G13 
It seems the taste was not so sweet, 
C Dm7 Em7 Ebm7 
So i turned my self to face me 
Dm7 G7 
But I've never caught a glimpse 
C Dm7 Em7 Ebm7 
Of how the others must see the faker 
Dm7 G7 
I'm much too fast to take that test

Time may change me -- but i cant trace time 
 
-- oh yeah -- 
 
I watch the ripples change their size 
But never leave the stream 
Of warm impermanence. 
And so the days flow thru my eyes 
But the days still seem the same. 
And this children you spit on 
As they try to change their worlds, 
Are immune to your consultations. 
Theyr'e quite aware of what they're going thru. 
 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, don't tell them to grow up and out of it. 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, there's your shame, 
you've left us up yo our neck in it. 
Time may change me, but you can't trace time. 
 
Strange fascination fascinating me. 
Oh changes are taking the place I'm going thru. 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange, 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, Oh look out you Rock 'n rollers 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange 
Ch-ch-ch-changes, pretty soon now you're gonna get a little older. 
Time may change me, But i can't trace time.

I [Am]took this walk to ease my [G] mind 
To find out what's gnawing at me [F] 
Wouldn't think, to look at me, 
that I've [Am]spent a lot of time in education 
[G] It all seems so long ago 
I'm a [Am]thinker, not a talker 
[G]I've no-one to talk to, anyway 
 
I [Am]can't see the road 
for the [G]rain in my [F]eyes 
[Am]Ahhh,[G]ahhh,[F7]ah,[F]ah. 
 
I [Am]live above the grocers [G]store, 
owned by an [F]Austrian 
He often calls me down to eat 
And he [Am]jokes about his broken English, 
[G]tries to be a friend to me 
But for [Am]all my years of reading conversation, 
[G]I stand without a word to say 
 
I [Am]can't see the bridge 
for the [G]rain in my [F]eyes 
[Am]Ahhh,[G]ahhh,[F7]ah,[F]ah. 
 
And the [Am]world is full of [G]life 
Full of folk who don't know [F]me 
And they walk in twos or threes or more 
While the [Am]light that shines above the grocers store 
[G]investigates my face so rudely 
And my [Am]essays lying scattered on the floor 
[G]Fullfil their needs just by being there 
And my hands shake, my head hurts, 
my voice sticks inside my [F7]throat 
I'm [Am]invisible and [G]dumb, 
no-one will recall [F]me 
 
And I [Am]can't see the water 
through the [G]tears in my [F]ey-y-yes

This is played through a total of three times, then started a fourth 
time. The fourth time is the same up the the point marked with a  
and then:

( # ) 
 
The part within the parentheses is played a total of three times, then 
started a fourth time, stopping at the point marked with a # 
 
(Note: when you are playing the "UB40" part, this is where it stops 
paralleling the "David Bowie" part - don't worry about this until later). 
 
Next, the first part is played through three more times, then started 
a fourth time and played up to the point marked with a , followed by 
what I think Trey & co. call the first interlude: 
 
E|---------------------------------7----------------| 
B|-----------4-7-4-------------5-7---7-5------------| 
G|---------6-----------4-7---6-----------6-4--------| 
D|-----4-7---------7-4-----7-----------------7-4----| 
A|---6-------------------------------------------7--| 
E|-7------------------------------------------------| 
 
After playing this, move the whole thing down 2 frets (so your pinkie 
is on on the 5th fret) and play the same pattern. The next time 
through, again move it down 2 frets and play the same pattern, although 
the fingering is a bit different since there are some open strings. 
Next, move the whole thing up so that your pinkie is on the 13th fret, 
then down to the 11th fret, and finally down to the 9th fret. 
 
Next, the guitar rests for two beats while the piano plays        C# then A, 
then plays: 
 
E|-------------------12--------------------| 
B|-11----12-------13-------11-12-13-11-----| 
G|----11----12-13-------13-------------13--| 
D|-----------------------------------------| 
A|-----------------------------------------| 
E|-----------------------------------------| 
( ) 
 
A couple of notes on this: I play the first 6 notes with my ring 
finger, moving it up from the 11th to 13th frets. Also, I cheat on 
the part marked in parentheses, playing it like: 
 
P 
E|------------------| 
B|----11-13-11------| 
G|-13----------13---| 
D|------------------| 
A|------------------| 
E|------------------| 
 
Next, this whole pattern is moved up chromatically and played starting 
on the 12th fret and again at the 13th fret. Then comes: 
 
E|-------------------15--------------------------------------------| 
B|-14----15-------16--------12-13-14-15--15-14-13-12--14-15-16-17--|

G|-----------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----------------------------------------------------| 
E|-----------------------------------------------------| 
 
Then comes a fast descending chromatic run: 
 
E|-20-19-18-17--19-18-17-16--18-17-16-15--| 
B|----------------------------------------| 
G|----------------------------------------| etc... 
D|----------------------------------------| 
A|----------------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------| 
 
And so on until: 
 
E|-10-9-8-7-----------------------------------------------| 
B|----------10-9-8-7--------------------------------------| 
G|-------------------10-9-8-7-----------------------------| 
D|----------------------------10-9-8-7--------------------| 
A|-------------------------------------10-9-8-7-----------| 
E|----------------------------------------------10-9-8-7--| 
 
I'm not entirely sure about this last part, but it's close. 
 
Next comes the "UB40" part, which is exactly like the "David Bowie" 
part except everything is moved up 3 frets. I put a note indicating 
where the UB40 part stops paralleling the David Bowie part. After 
that point comes the _really_ weird part (the second interlude). This 
part is based on a long pattern that repeats in several positions, but 
is not played all the way through in a couple of these positions: 
 
 
/S /S  H 
E|------------------------------------------10--------------------------| 
B|-----12-----10-----9-------------------11----11-----8--9--------------| 
G|---9----9------9------8--9--8--9--9-12----------12--8-(8)-8-----------| 
D|-9--------9------9----9-10--9-10----------------------------11-10-11--| 
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 
P /S /S 
E|-----8-------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-7-9---9---10----10--11-(10)--12----------------------------12-12--| 
G|---------8--8----10--10--10---10---9-10---9-10--10-10-13-13--------| 
D|-----------10----10--10--10---10--10-11--10-11---------------------| 
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 
 
A B 
H H /S /S 
E|------------------5-5--7-7----------------| 
B|-9-(10)--9-(10)---7-7--9-9----------------| 
G|-9---9---9---9----7-7--9-9----------------| 
D|------------------7-7--9-9-------9--------| 
A|----------------------------9-11---11-13--| 
E|------------------------------------------| 
  
 
At this point, this whole pattern repeats with everything moved up 2 
frets (so the first note played is on the 11th rather than the 9th 
fret). Then, after the last slide from the 13th to the 15th fret, the 
following is played, and then held for four beats: 
 
Ab 
E|-----| 
B|-13--| 
G|-13--| 
D|-13--| 
A|-----| 
E|-----| 
 
Next, the whole pattern is repeated 3 frets down from the original 
position (so the first note played is on the 6th rather than the 9th 
fret). The pattern is started again 2 frets up from this position (so 
the first note is played on the 8th fret), but stops at the point 
marked with a . An E chord is then played and held for four beats: 
 
E 
E|----| 
B|-9--| 
G|-9--| 
D|-9--| 
A|-7--| 
E|----| 
 
 
Next, the whole pattern is started again 7 frets down from the 
original position (so the first note played is on the 2nd fret), until 
the point marked with a  . After that comes: 
 
G A 
/S 
E|-3-3--0-0--------------9------------------------------------------------| 
B|-3-3--2-2---------12-9---11-10-12-9-------------------------------------| 
G|-0-0--2-2---------------------------9-12-9-11----9----11----------------| 
D|-0-0--2-2------2------------------------------12---11----12-9-12-11-----| 
A|-2-2--0-0--2-4------------------------------------------------------12--| 
E|-3-3--------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 
 
E|------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-13-10-12----10----12-9----10-9-----------------------------------| 
G|----------12----11------11------9-10----9---------10--------------| 
D|-------------------------------------12---10-12-9----11-9-11-8----| 
A|---------------------------------------------------------------9--| 
E|------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 
 
E|-----------------------------------------------12--| 
B|-11----10------7-8--9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17--12--| 
G|----12-----7---7-8--9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17--12--| 
D|-------------8-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18--14--| 
A|---------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------| 
 
Next comes the jam, which is pretty much        Em to D. Towards the end, it 
starts alternating the Em to   D part with a   C to   D to   Em part: 
 
C  D  Em  Em  C  D  Em  Em  Em  D  Em  D  Em  D  Em  D 
 
I'm not sure how Phish decides when to kick into this part - when my 
old band played it, the bass player would just scream when he thought 
the time was right. Anyway, after alternating these parts a few 
times, Trey plays a pull-off pattern outlining the C, D, and  Em 
chords: 
 
C D Em C D Em 
Repeat 4x Repeat 4x Repeat 8x Repeat 4x Repeat 4x Repeat 8x 
P P P P P P 
E|-15-12-------17-14-------19-15-------15-12-------17-14-------19-15-----| 
A|-------13----------15----------17----------13----------15----------17--| 
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
 
 
This goes back and forth between this pattern and the        Em to     D part a 
few times, and then when Trey decides to end the jam, he plays the 
pull-off pattern up until the point marked with a , and then plays 
four whole-step bends at the 22nd fret (so he's bending        D up to E). 
And finally: 
 
-Repeat 4x- 
Em A B 
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|------x-x-x-2--4--4--5--4--5-------------------------------------------| 
G|-0----x-x-x-2--4--4-(4)-4-(4)------------------------------------------|

A|-2----------------4-(4)-4-(4)------------------------------------------| 
E|-0---------------------------------------------------------------------| 
drum

The fourth time the  B chord marked with a is played, I think Trey 
toggles his pickup selector switch.

[Verse] 
D                  E 
  In the event that this fantastic voyage 
     Bb                  D 
Should turn to erosion and we never get old 
       E                Bb 
Remember it's true, dignity is valuable 
                     D 
But our lives are valuable too 
 
[Chorus] 
A    D                           A 
 We're learning to live with somebody's depression 
  D                             G 
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression 
           A 
We'll get by, I suppose 
It's a very modern world, but nobody's perfect 
It's a moving world, but that's no reason 
To shoot some of those missiles 
Think of us as fatherless scum 
It won't be forgotten 
                                    D             E 
'Cause we'll never say anything nice again, will we? 
 
[Verse] 
     Bb 
And the wrong words make you listen 
      D 
In this criminal world 
       E                 Bb 
Remember it's true, loyalty is valuable 
                     D 
But our lives are valuable too 
 
[Chorus] 
A    D                           A 
 We're learning to live with somebody's depression 
  D                             G 
And I don't want to live with somebody's depression 
           A 
We'll get by I suppose 
But any sudden movement I've got to write it down 
They wipe out an entire race and I've got to write it down 
But I'm still getting educated but I've got to write it down 
And it won't be forgotten 
                                      D          E Bb... 
'Cause I'll never say anything nice again, how can I?

Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag 
Perspiration trickled down her forehead 
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder 
She was led away bewildered and amazed 
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter 
As her escort asked her softly for her name 
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady 
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor 
 
CHORUS #2: 
Crying "God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good 
God knows I'm good, surely God won't look the other way 
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good

The first and the last are telling it all 
Telling you loud but selling it small 
I'm taking a swing at this shadow of mine 
Crucifix hangs an' my heart's in my mouth 
but it's here 
 
(E chord w/ riff 1) 
Heaven's in here 
Among the twilight and stars 
Like a rocket to Mars 
Heaven's in here 
 
(Solo forever on the E chord) 
 
(Verse) 
Heaven lies between your marbled thighs 
The rustle of your falling gown 
We stumble and fall like trajedy falls 
We stumble and twirl there's heaven in here 
We stumble and fall uncertain we fall 
flesh on flesh but there's heaven in... 
Heaven's in here 
 
(E chord w/ riff 1) 
Heaven's in here 
Among the twilight and stars 
Like a rocket to Mars 
Heaven's in here 
You'll dance to my tongue 
We'll dance on the sun 
We're twilight and stars 
There's heaven in here 
 
(Solo on E chord until the end)

D Am 
Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution 
G Bb C 
No more three steps to heaven 
 
Chorus chords (and lyrics are the same everytime): 
D Am C G A 
And it's no game, (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo) 
 
And then consider this whole part the bridge, 
which is identical in both versions, so I won't rewrite the lyrics 
Em A 
Documentaries on refugees, Couples 'gainst their targets 
C G A 
Throw a rock against the road and it breaks into pieces 
Em A 
Draw the blinds on yesterday and it's all so much scarier 
C G A 
Put a bullet in my brain and it makes all the papers 
E  Hm  D  A  E 
 
E Hm D A B 
And it's no game, (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo) 
 
C  A 
 
There we go. now the lyrics: 
Part 1 
(verse chords) 
Shimeto ya kage ga ka ku mei o miteiru 
Mo tengoku no giu no kai dan wa nai 
Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution 
No more three steps to heaven 
(chorus) 
 
(verse) 
Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare 
Nani ga okkote iru ka wakara nai 
I am barred from the event 
I really don't understand the situation 
(chorus) 
 
(verse) 
Doko ni kyokun wa aruka 
Hitobito wa yabi ooraneteiru 
Konna dokusaisha ni igashime rareru nowa kanashi 
(chorus) 
 
(bridge) 
 
(verse) 
Nammino kiroku eiga 
Hioteki o se ni shita kiobi to tach 
Michi ni ishi o nage reba 
Konago na ni kudake 
Kimo ni nutao sureba 
Kyo hu wa maso 
Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba 
Shinbun wa kaki tateru 
So where's the moral 
People have their fingers broken 
To be insulted by these fascists-it's so degrading 
D Am A 
And it's no game (ooo-ooo) 
(Shut up!...shut up!) 
 
Part 2 
(verse) 
Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution 
No more three steps to heaven 
Just walky-talky - heaven or hearth 
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan 
(chorus) 
(verse) 
I am barred from the event 
I really don't understand the situation 
So where's the moral, people have their fingers broken 
To be insulted by these fascists-it's so degrading 
(chorus) 
(bridge) 
(verse) 
Children 'round the world 
Put camel shit on the wall 
Making carpets on treadmills 
Or garbage sorting 
D Am A 
And it's no game (ooo-ooo)

D F#m G 
Oh my love, Janine, I'm helpless for your smile 
E E7 A G D 
Like a Polish wanderer I travel onwards to your land 
A G F#m 
And were it not just for the jewels I'd close your hand 
 
Your strange demand to 'collocate' my mind 
Scares me into gloom, you're too intense 
I'll have to keep you in your place 
I've no defence, I've got to keep my veil on my face 
 
CHORUS: 
D D/C  G C G 
Janine, Janine, you'd like to know me well 
C G F C 
But I've got things inside my head that even I can't face 
D D/C  G C G 
Janine, Janine, you'd like to crash my walls 
C G F C 
But if you take an axe to me you'll kill another man 
D C G C D D C G C D 
Not me at all 
 
You're fey, Janine, a tripper to the last 
But if I catch you standing on my toes 
I'll have a right to shout you down 
For you're a lazy stream, in which my thoughts would drown 
 
So stay, Janine, and we can glide along 
I've caught your wings for laughs 
I'm not obliged to read you statements of the year 
So take your glasses off and don't act so sincere

Sits like an adder, he smiles like a reptile, 
She love him, she love him, but just for a short while, 
She's scratching the sand, won't let go of his hand, 
He says he's a beautician, he sells you nutrition, 
Keeps off your dead hair and making a bundle, (<-not sure about lyrics)

LAST 2 CHORDS: The last two chords of the song are 'A' to 'G'. The effect at 
the end is achieved by using a Les Paul style guitar and turning the top 
volume, for the neck pickup, off and then whilst holding the         G flicking the 
toggle switch quickly. It helps if you stand next to a loud amp aswell, 
because then you get the feedback starting to creep in!!!

Don't be afraid of the room 
Touch the fullness of her breast 
Feel the love of her caress 
She will be your living end

As Bowie is singing "She will be your living end" the chords are G#m, G, G#m, 
Bb, G#m, G, G#m, Bb until the song fades out.

To watch this creature fair 
Boys stood upon their chairs to make thier point of view 
I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey 
And Lady Stardust sang his songs 
Of darkness and dismay 
 
And he was alright, the band was altogether 
Yes he was alright, the songs went on forever 
And he was awful nice 
Really quite paradise 
And he sang all night long

Ooh, how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

He sang all night long

Verse2. 
 
They say your life is going very well

But I can see it's not okay 
 
 
Verse3. 
 
He makes you laugh 
He brings you out in style 
He treats you well 
And makes you up real fine 
And when he's strong 
He's strong for you 
And when you kiss 
It's something new 
But did you ever call my name 
Just by mistake? 
I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do 
So I'll just write some love to you 
 
 


G G/F# Dm/F E7 Am 
It's a god-awful small affair to the girl with the mousy hair

But her mother is yelling "No" and her father as told her to go 
G/F# Dm/F 
But her friend is nowhere to be seen 
E7 Am

To the seat with the clearest view

and she's hooked to the silver screen

But the film is a saddening bore

She could spit in the eyes of fools as they ask her to focus on 
 
CHORUS:

Sailors, fighting in the dance hall 
Am Fm G Gm Dm 
Oh man! look at those cavemen go, it's a freakest show

Take a look at the Lawman, beating up the wrong guy 
Am Fm G Gm Dm 
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know he's in the best selling show 
Fm Am C+    Am7 D7 F Gsus4 D 
Is there life on Mars? 
 
 
It's on Amerika's tortured brow 
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow 
Now the workers have struck for fame 
Cause Lennon's on sale again 
See the mice in their million hordes 
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads 
Rule Brittania is out of bounds 
To my mother, my dog and clowns 
But the film is a saddening bore 
`Cause I wrote it ten times before 
It's about to be writ again

War made him a soldier, little Franky Mear 
G Em C D G 
Peace left him a loser, the little bombradier. 
Em C D G 
Lines of worry appeared with age, unskilled hands that knew no trade 
Hm Cm C D G (C Cm G) 
Spent his time in a picture(?) house, the little bombradier.

Franky drank his money, the little that he made 
G Em C D G 
Told his woes to no man, friendless lonely days.

Sunshine entered our Franky's days

Gone his sorrows his hopeless maze 
Bb D A 
His life was fun and his heart was full of joy

Two young children had changed his his aims, 
Dm A 
He bought the toffees and played their games 
Bb D A 
He bought them presents with every coin he made.

Then two gentlemen called on him, asked him for his name

Why was he friends with the children, were they just a game 
Em C D G 
Leave them alone or we'll get sore, we've had blokes like you in this nation 
before 
Hm Cm C D G 
The hand of authority said "no more" to the little bombradier. 
Em C D G 
Packed his bags, his heart in pain, wiped a tear and caught a train 
Hm Cm C D G 
Not to be seen in this town again, the little bombradier.

Here comes Johnny Yen again 
With the liquor and drugs 
And the flesh machine 
He's gonna do another strip tease. 
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion? 
I've been hurting since I've bought the gimmick 
About something called love 
Yeah, something called love. 
Well, that's just like hypnotizing chickens. 
 
Well, I'm just a modern guy 
Of course, I've had it in the ear before. 
I have a lust for life 
'Cause of a lust for life. 
 
I'm worth a million in prizes 
With my torture film 
Drive a GTO 
Wear a uniform 
All on a government loan. 
I'm worth a million in prizes 
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk 
No more beating my brains 
No more beating my brains 
With liqor and drugs 
With liqor and drugs. 
 
Well, I'm just a modern guy 
Of course, I've had it in the ear before 
Well, I've a lust for life (lust for life) 
'Cause of a lust for life (lust for life, oooo) 
I got a lust for life (oooo) 
Got a lust for life (oooo) 
Oh, a lust for life (oooo) 
Oh, a lust for life (oooo) 
A lust for life (oooo) 
I got a lust for life (oooo)

And the flesh machine

Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion? 
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick

Love, love, love 
Well, that's just like hypnotizing chickens. 
 
Well, I'm just a modern guy 
Of course, I've had it in the ear before

I'm not a prophet or a stone age man 
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on 
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien

You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo

Hear this Robert Zimmerman 
F#m E(VII) Esus4(VII) 
I wrote a song for you 
A Abm 
About a strange young man called Dylan 
F# E(VII) 
With a voice like sand and glue 
Abm C#m7 
Some words in truthful vengeance 
B A 
Could pin us to the floor 
F#m E 
Brought a few more people on 
 
A H7 
Put the fear in a whole lot more 
 
Chorus: 
A 
Ah, here she comes 
A 
Here she comes 
D A 
Here she comes again 
A 
The same old painted lady 
E 
From the brow of the superbrain 
F#m 
She 'll scratch this world to pieces 
G 
As she comes on like an friend 
A 
But a couple of songs 
A 
From your old scrapbook 
E 
Could send her home again 
 
You gave your heart to every bedsit room 
At least a picture on the wall 
Sat behind a million pair of eyes 
And told them how they saw 
Then we lost your train of thought 
The paintings are all your own 
While troubles are rising 
We'd rather be scared 
Together than alone 
 
Chorus: 
 
Repeat intro: 
 
Now hear this Robert Zimmerman 
Though I don't suppose we 'll meet 
Ask your good friend Dylan 
If he'd gaze a while down the old street 
Tell him they've lost his poems 
So they're writing on the walls 
Give us back our unity 
Give us back our family 
 
F#m Abm 
You're every nation's refugee 
A B 
Don't leave us with their sanity 
 
Chorus: 
Ah, here she comes 
Here she comes 
Here she comes again 
The same old painted lady 
From the brow of the superbrain 
She 'll scratch this world to pieces 
As she comes on like an friend

[C7] There's a [F] starman [Dm] waiting in the sky 
He'd [Am] like to come and [C] meet us 
But he [C7] thinks he'd blow our minds 
[C7] There's a [F] starman [Dm] waiting in the sky 
He's [Am] told us not to [C] blow it 
Cause he [C7] knows it's all worthwhile 
He told me: 
[Bb] Let the children [Bbm] lose it 
[f] Let the children [Dm7] use it 
[Gm] Let the children [F] boogle

Dm Am 
My set is amazing, it even smells like a street 
G 
There's a bar at the end where I can meet you and your friend 
Dm Am G 
Someone scrawled on the wall "I smell the blood of les tricoteuses" 
 
Who wrote up scandals in other bars 
Dm Am 
I'm having so much fun with the poisonous people

Spreading rumours and lies and stories they made up 
 
Dm Am 
Some make you sing and some make you scream 
G 
One makes you wish that you've never been seen

So you scream out of line "I want you! I need you!

When it's good, it's really good, and when it's bad I go to pieces" 
Dm Am G 
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing 
 
Dm Am 
Well, on the street where you live I could not hold up my head 
G 
For I put all I have in another bed 
Dm Am 
On another floor, in the back of a car 
G 
In the cellar like a church with the door ajar 
Dm Am 
Well, I guess we must be looking for a different kind 
G 
But we can't stop trying 'til we break up our minds 
Dm Am 
'Til the sun drips blood on the seedy young nights 
G 
Who press you on the ground while shaking in fright 
Dm Am 
I guess we could cruise down one more time

With you by my side, it should be fine

We'll buy some drugs and watch a band

Then jump in the river holding hands

Loves to be loved x2

F G 
F 
When all the world was very young 
G 
And mountain magic heavy hung 
F 
The supermen would walk in file 
G 
Guardians of a loveless isle 
Am Am/G F 
And gloomy browed with superfear their tragic endless lives 
E 
Could heave nor sigh 
 
In solemn, perverse serenity 
F G 
Wonderous beings chained to life 
 
CHORUS #1: 
F G F G 
Strange games they would play then, no death for the perfect men 
Ab Bb Am F Ab C 
Life rolls into one for them, so softly a supergod cries 
 
Where all were minds in uni-thought 
Power wierd by mystics taught 
No pain, no joy, no power too great 
Colossal stength to grasp a fate 
Where sad eyed mermen tossed in slumber 
Nightmare dreams no mortal mind could hold 
Man would tear his brother's flesh 
A chance to die, to turn to mold 
 
CHORUS #2: 
Far out in the red sky, far out from the sad eyes 
Strange, mad celebration, so softly a supergod cries 
 
CHORUS #3: 
Far out in the red sky, far out from the sad eyes 
Strange, mad celebration, so softly, a supergod dies

D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6 
Solemn faced the village settles down, undetected by the stones 
A A#dim 
And the hangman plays the mandolin before he goes to 
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6 
Sleep, and the last thing on his mind 
A A#dim 
is the wild-eyed boy imprisoned 'neath the 
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6 
covered wooden shaft, folds the rope into it's bag. 
A A#dim 
Blows his pipe of smolders, blankets 
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6 
smoke into the room, and the day will end for some. 
C G F E7sus E7 
As the night begins for one. 
 
(Chords the same until they pick up again) 
Staring through the message in his eyes lies a solitary son 
from the mountain called the freecloud where the 
eagle dare not fly, and the patience in his sigh 
gives no indication for the 
townsmen to decide, so the village dreadful groans 
Pronouncing gross diversion as the 
label for the dog. Ooo it's the madness in his eyes 
C G 
As he breaks the night to cry 
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6 
Its really me, really you and really me 
A A#dim 
It's so hard for us to really 
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6 
be, Really you, really me, 
A A#dim 
You'll lose me though I'm always really 
 
D D/C# D/C D/B C C C C 
free. 
 
C C7 
And the mountain moved it's eyes to the world and realized 
Bb Ab C E7sus   E7 
Where the snow had saved a place for the wild-eyed boy from free cloud 
(Same chords) 
And the village dreadful cried as the moat began to rise 
For the smile stayed on the face of the wild-eyed boy from freecloud. 
G C 
And the women once proud clutched the heart of the crowd 
G C 
as the boulders smashed down from the mountains hand. 
Am C 
And the magic in the stare of the wild-eyed boy said 
Am C E7sus   E7 
"Stop Free Cloud, they won't think to cut me down, no, no, no!" 
F C F C 
But the cottages fell like a playing card hell 
Bb F C 
and the tears on the face of the wise boy 
F C F C 
came trembling down to the rumbling ground 
Bb F C 
and the missionary mystic of peace/love 
D D/C# D/C D/B Bb6 
Stumbled back to cry among the clouds 
A A#sus  D D/C# C 
Kicking back the pebbles from the Free Cloud mountain's track. 
 
 


C 
They pulled in just behind the fridge 
G 
He laid her down - he frowns 
Dm 
Gee my life's a funny thing 
F 
Am I still too young 
C 
He kissed then and there 
G 
She took his ring took his babies 
Dm 
It him minutes took her nowhere 
F 
Heaven knows she'd've taken anything 
 
Em F#m 
All night - she wants the young American 
Em F#m 
It's all right - but she wants the young American 
 
Scanning life through the picture window 
She finds the slinky vagabond 
He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang 
Heaven forbid she'll taken anything 
But the freak and his type - all for nothing 
He misses a step and cuts his hand 
Showing nothing he swoops like a song 
She cries where have all papa's heroes gone 
 
All night - she wants the young American 
It's all right - but she wants the young American 
 
All the way from Washington 
Her breadwinner begs of the bathroom floor 
We live for just these twenty years 
Do we have to die for fifty more 
 
All night - she wants the young American 
It's all right - but she wants the young American 
 
Do you remember president Nixon 
Do you remember all the bills you have to pay 
or even yesterday ...

Баста — лирический проект рэпера из города Ростов-на-Дону, Россия, Василия Вакуленко, созданный в 2006 году.Был 1996 год, он уже написал первую песню «Мой город» и собрал группу, которая называлась «Уличные звуки» — Street sound. Василий значился в ее составе под именем Баста Хрю. «Меня с детства называли Хрюшей, потому что разбрасывал все непонятно где», — объясняет Баста.Примерно в это же время рождалось знаменитое ростовское рэп-движение, которое в следующем десятилетии стало лидирующим в стране. Баста был непосредственным участником процесса. И даже поучаствовал с треком «Первый удар» в большом и шумном объединении молодых рэперов — ростовской Касте, впоследствии ставшим группой «Каста».Далее Баста двинулся в своем, более лиричном направлении. Трек «Моя игра» стал одним из главных в его биографии. Вася Вакуленко стал знаменитым на весь Ростов. «Звездная болезнь? Нет, не появилась. Появились наркотики и старшие друзья, реальные хулиганы» — вспоминает Вася. «Точно могу сказать, что эта песня не раз спасала меня. Бывало, хотели лишить жизни, а когда узнавали, что это я, оставляли в покое».Вся эта нелегкая и полная злоключений жизнь стала историей, которая теперь зарифмована в его альбомах. «В 2002 мой друг Жора вымутил у своей мамы денег и мы купили компьютер. Вадик QП сводил первое демо к будущему альбому». Эти самые треки случайно попали к Богдану Титомиру и он предложил ребятам уехать в Москву. Был 2004 год. А спустя 2 года вышел альбом «Баста 1» и на ТВ начали крутить клип «Осень». Московская жизнь Басты неразрывно связана с «Газгольдером». На тот момент клуб только открылся и носил статус самого закрытого заведения в Москве. Но Баста держался в стороне от местной рэп-тусовки. Первым новым знакомым — ее представителем — стал Смоки Мо, а позже Вася узнал Гуфа. «Однажды я подошел к Гуфу на концерте, тот вспомнил «Мою игру», мы с ним решили сделать кавер-версию, которая вышла на альбоме «Баста 2», — рассказывает Вася. Но настоящий взрыв случился сразу после этого, когда Баста поучаствовал в клипе группы Centr «Город дорог». После этого слава Басты вышла далеко за пределы родного Ростова и Москвы.Посыпались номинации, премии, награды и статусы. Второй альбом «Баста 2» вышел в 2007 и стал хитом продаж. Он звучал взрослее и разнообразнее. Выпустив в промежутке два релиза под псевдонимом Ноггано, третью пластинку Баста писал уже в статусе одного из ведущих рэп-артистов страны. Новый материал рассчитал на более широкую аудиторию, а подборка хитов «Урбан», «Ростов», «Солнца не видно» и «Калифорния» уже не в первый раз проверяет на прочность самые большие площадки Москвы.В октябре 2012 года, Баста записал несколько кавер-версий песен Михея, в частности трек «Мама», на который был снят видеоклип. Также Василий выступил на большом концерте, посвященном 10-летию памяти Михея, который прошел 1 ноября на площадке Arena Moscow.В конце 2012 года снялся в ролике, призванном привлечь внимание к дискриминации людей с ВИЧ-инфекцией.Дискография 2006 Баста 1 2007 Баста 2 2010 Баста 3 2010 Баста/Guf 2013 Баста 4 2016 Баста 5, Часть 1 2016 Баста 5, Часть 2

Макс Корж — молодой музыкант из Минска, который легко смешивает в своем творчестве электронную музыку, рэп, пение. 
Он родился ноября 1988 года, в городе Лунинец Брестской области. В раннем возрасте он с родителями переехал в Минск. Получил музыкальное образование по классу фортепиано и попутно научился играть на гитаре. В 16 лет он с друзьями создал музыкальную группу LunClan, которая просуществовала недолго. После этого было еще несколько проектов, но они тоже не имели большого успеха. 
После всех неудач Макс попробовал себя в роли битмейкера, сочиняя музыку для других исполнителей. Эта идея также не увенчалась успехом, после чего он начала петь свои песни сам. 
Во время учебы в Белорусском государственном университете Макс Корж записал свою первую сольную песню. Проучившись в БГУ до 3 курса, он понял, что учеба ему мешает и бросил университет и всерьез занялся музыкальной деятельностью. Он записал песню «Небо поможет нам» и выложил ее ВКонтакте. После чего Максима забрали в армию. Когда он вернулся домой, то узнал, что песня стала популярна в интернете. За это время песня собрала большую аудиторию, ее транслировали в эфире некоторые минские радиостанции. После он начал активно рассылать свои песни диджеям, чтобы они крутились в клубах. 
В мае 2012-го он выпустил в Беларуси первый сольный альбом, а через год уже собрал многотысячные залы. Его востребованность у концертных промоутеров стала ажиотажной, он дважды выступил в программе «Вечерний Ургант» на Первом канале, а презентация его второго альбома «Жить в кайф» вновь побила рекорды — так, в столице Беларуси она прошла в пятнадцатитысячной «Минск Арене».

Молодой и талантливый белорусский рэп-исполнитель Макс Корж. Мастер бешеных концертов. На странице представлены подборы с аккордами и текстами песен.

Скриптонит (Адиль Жалелов, родился 3-го июня 1990-го года в Ленинском, Казахстан) — казахстанский русскоязычный рэпер и музыкальный продюсер.Начинал с создания инструменталов для других хип-хоп-исполнителей, попутно записывая в стол свои песни, оттачивая таким образом свои навыки по написанию текстов.Первую известность ему принёс видеоклип на песню «VBVVCTND», который получил хорошие отзывы и привёл исполнителя к контракту с творческим объединением Gazgolder.В 2015-ом году Адиль выпускает свой первый сольный альбом «Дом с нормальными явлениями», получивший восторженные отзывы слушателей и музыкальных критиков и моментально ставший классикой русского рэпа.Скриптонит работает в совершенно разных жанрах: начиная с южного звучания, он пришёл к более музыкальному и разноплановому подходу как к музыке, так и к вокалу.Весной 2017-го года вышел его второй альбом под названием «Праздник на улице 36». Как заявил сам Жалелов в июньском интервью у Юрия Дудя, «Праздник…» — это коммерческий релиз с очевидными хитами, а «тот самый альбом», или «Улица 36», название которого стало известно из небольшого июльского отчёта с Gazgolder Live от MTV и который слушатели ждали с момента выпуска «Дома…», был запланирован на осень этого же года.В итоге 16-го декабря 2017-го года вышел двойной альбом Скриптонита — «Уроборос: Улица 36» / «Уроборос: Зеркала». После выхода пластинки Жалелов заявил, что в связи с тем, что для него рэп как жанр себя исчерпал
