bookmark_borderRainy Day Song

C / Cm

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

I’ve got a studio
Oh, oh, oh
For you and I,
I, i, i

You can plug right in
And, begin
To play
For the rest of the day

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

Variations of B, B7, F#, F# add E
Capo 2

What will yielding yield?
No protection. No Shield.
I will not yield
… will not yield to Satin
In Her Place Of Patton
… can not erase space
Nor, un-time (your) crime
Now, I can not yield
I will not yield
To Evilville
In Evilville
Never yield
Not “until”
Not will
Wont

I’d say
It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray

Blessed day
Hold n’ steady

It’s not that far away

It’s not that far away
Long as
I don’t go astray
… not that far away

Sitting by the fire

There’s only one place I know
Where the land is green
And, the sky is blue

There’s only one place I know
With a menagerie scene
And, love for you

Pour the Milky Way
It’s not that far…
Third house from our star

We call Her
Home Sweet Home
Menagerie
Where people roam
Home Sweet Home

Humbleness
Modestly, I gotta say
Er, a…
A beautiful place
To breed our race
Via
Her Graciousness

Home Sweet Home

The Rollover

C / F / Am
Let’s go!
While tomorrow turns to yesterday

Where will you be
When it turns anti-climatic
Where will you be
For the last act
Where will you be
For the curtain call
Where will you be
When the credits scroll

Do you care to be here at all?

How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will fall from the sky
How do you think they will get here
Do you think they will rise from the dust

Will we try
We must
Will we try
We must

Come on
Join the party
Come on
Join the show
Come on
Let’s go

Not a glutton for punishment
Rather we have enlightenment
Not a glutton for punishment
Nor the punishment for glutton
I’ve got plenty
More than a few
Tryin’ to share this point-of-view

Dream on and on and on and on….

Makin’ the *Dream On* come true
More than fair
Thankful I knew
You’re the much needed fresh air

G walkdown to C

If we want to stop this from happening
We better wake up

Better wake-up

It would appear the edge is near
At the precipice is us

[secret message here]

Stop the slumber
Start to wonder
Gotta wake-up

Does anybody know what time it is?
I’d really like to go to school today

Please do NOT hit the snooze switch!

bookmark_borderHoly Water

C (and variations, thereof)

I had a vision of some fissures… and geysers…

Holy drinks
Water

The fountains
Spout
The water
Out

From the dirt
An alert

Will the rising sea level cause unusual events?
I mean if the water rises in such a fashion that Mother Nature will be fracking the natural gas, wouldn’t that be a bad thing? Should we get the gas out now?

An Introduction .mp3 and Free Download Information

F# / D# / C# / A# / G# / F#

I’ve got some friends
I’d like you to know
So, let’s get up…
Get up and go

These are the kind of people
Though they don’t congregate
Under a steeple
They help the light shine
The light shine
Shine on and on and on

These people I call friends
Most of them are true
Until the end
Though you know
How things can go
A friend can turn
Into foe
Just so you know

Let the light shine

As far as I know
These are the people
That you want to know
The kind-of friend
You want to the bitter end

Let the light shine on and on and on

So, if you’re not too busy
If you’re not feeling over worked
If you won’t be a complete idiot jerk
I’ll show to some good, good friends
You can be a good, good friend
To the bitter, bitter end

It’s the least I can do
Now that I know you

If it seems you’re day isn’t quite fulfilling
How’s this for gelling
These friends can show ya how to be groovin’
When you get together
It’s like heaven

It’s not a lesson in forgiving
It’s more about believing
In one another
Like sister and brother
Like mother or father
Like son or daughter

Voyager through time and space
You’re always in your place
With so far to roam
Yet, you’re always at home

Voyager
So far to roam
You’re always at home

Voyager through time and space

Voyager
You’re in your place
Can you bring your race
Back home
Voyager
You’re in Her place
Can you bring your race
Back home

Voyager through time and space

Bring it on home

bookmark_borderAllison’s Guitar

A / C / D

Both near and far
All the others
Always wanted to play
Allison’s guitar

Everyday
In every way
That’s all you would hear them say
“If I could only play…
Everything would be OK”

Ever since the very first day
All I wanted to do is play, play, play
Play with Allison’s guitar

All I do is hope and pray
Each and every… every day
Just want to play
With her guitar

Ever since the very first day
All they could say
Is how they want to play
With Allison’s guitar

I want to play with
Allison’s guitar
No matter how bizarre
Want to play with
Allison’s guitar
