Note:
* - riff:
[Intro]:
[Verse]:
Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawlslip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
And I was not born to drown
Baby c'mon
[Verse]:
Forget what father Brennan said
We were not born in sin
Leave a note on your bed
Let your mother knows you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll 've driven through the state
We'll 've driven through the night
Baby c'mon
[Chorus]:
*
If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
*
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you rail against your dying day
[Verse]:
And when we looked outside, couldn't even see the sky
How do you pay the rent, is it your parents
Or is hard work dear, holding the atmosphere
I don't wanna live like that
*
If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
[Bridge]:
Jesus Christ, can't save me tonight
Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
Decide on me, yea decide on us
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
[End-verse]:
Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawlslip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
2. Ophelia

Tuning: Standard
Capo 5
Ah, ah, when I was younger
I, I should've known better
And I can't feel no remorse
And you don't feel nothing back
x2
*Piano interlude (chord changes faster)*
I, I got a new girlfriend she
Feels like she's on top
And I don't feel no remorse
And you can't see past my blindness
Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind, girl, since the flood
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love
x2
*Piano interlude (chord changes faster)*
I, I got a little paycheck
You got big plans and you gotta move (whoo!)
And I don't feel nothing at all
And you can't feel nothing small
Honey, I love you
That's all she wrote
Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind, girl, like a drug
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love
Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind, girl, since the flood
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love
Oh, Ophelia
You've been on my mind, girl, like a drug
Oh, Ophelia
Heaven help the fool who falls in love
3. Cleopatra
Original tab by: satir3
Tuning: standard
Capo: 1st fret
Chords used:
[Intro]:
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no plans
[Break]:
[Pre-chorus]:
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
[Chorus]:
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
[Break]:
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
[Chorus]:
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
[Bridge]:
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
[Break]:
Pre-chorus II:
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
It's a bed and a bathroom
And a place for the end
[Chorus]:
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[Intro]:

[Verse]:
I don't own a single gun.
But if I did you'd be the one.
To hold it, aim it, make all the bad men run.
But I don't own a sin- gle gun.
[Break]:
* x2
And I don't have a sweetheart yet.
But if I did I'd break my neck.
To please her, make her wanna stay, in my arms she'd rest.
But I don't have a sweetheart yet.
[Bridge]:
*
I can't believe what I found in daddys sock drawer, sock drawer today.
*
It was a pistol, a Smith & Wesson, holy holy shit.
*
La la la la la

[Break]:

[Verse]:
The things I knew when I was young.
Some were true and some were wrong.
And one day i'll pray i'll be more than my fathers son.
But I don't own a single gun.

[Intro]:
[Verse]:
When you left this town, with your windows down
And the wilderness inside
Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass
'Til the road and sky align
[Chorus]:
The strangers in this town,
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh Angela it's a long time coming
[Verse]:
And your Volvo lights lit up green and white
With the cities on the signs
But you held your course to some distant war
In the corners of your mind
[Chorus]:
From the second time around
The only love I ever found
Oh Angela it's a long time coming
[Break]:
Home at laaaaaast
Were you safe and warm in your coat of arms
With your fingers in a fist
Did you hear the notes, all those static codes
In the radio abyss?
Strangers in this town,
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh Angela it's a long time coming
Oh Angela spent your whole life running away
Break:
Home at laaaaaast
Home at laaaaaast
End:
Vacancy, hotel room, lost in me, lost in you
Angela, on my knees, I belong, I believe
Home at laaaaaast
Home at laaaaaast
Home at laaaaaast
Home at laaaaaast
Homea at last
Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm
Mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm
6. In the Light
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 2nd Fret
I don't know why I just can't let it go
I don't know why I just can't let it go
Memory's old but I just can't let it go
The idea's gone but I just can't let it go
Time, give me my yesterdays
Save it for all you had in your eyes, I have gone away
X2
Fate dealt you a tricky hand
Now you're just left alone in your mind
And I have gone away
I don't know why I just can't let it go
Memory's old but I just can't let it go
X2
In the light, right here in the light
Right here in the -- hold me and don't you ever let this die
Right here in the light, and in the day time
Right here in the -- hold me and don't you ever let this die
In the light, and in the daytime, right here in the

7. Gale Song
Original tab by: ryan__fischer
Tuning: Standard
Capo: NO Capo
It's a lonely road
For the tired man
And you can see it in your face
And you'll be home in spring
I can wait 'til then
I heard you're on the big train
And oh, this too shall pass
This loneliness won't last for long
I wasn't there to take his place
I was ten thousand miles away
So when you hear my voice
When you say my name
May it never give you pain
But I don't want to go
But it's time to leave
You'll be on my mind, my destiny
And I won't fight it in vain
I'll love you just the same
I couldn't know what's in your mind
But I saw the pictures, you're looking fine
And there was a time
When I stood in line for love, for love, for love
But I let you go, oh, I let you go
And he fell apart
With his broken heart
And this blood this blood this blood
Oh, it drains from my skin, it does

Held on to hope like a noose, like a rope
God and medicine take no mercy on him
Poisoned his blood, and burned out his throat
Enough is enough,
He's a long way from home
Break:
Days of my youth wasted on a selfish fool
Who ran for the hills from the hand you were dealt
I flew far away, as far as I could go
Your time is running out
And I'm a long way from home
Break:
x2
Laid up in bed, you were laid up in bed
Holding the pain like you're holding your breath
I prayed you could sleep, sleep like a stone
You're right next to me
But you're a long way from home
Break:
x2
Hospital gowns never fit like they should
We yelled at the nurse, didn't do any good
More morphine, the last words you moaned
At last I was sure
That you weren't far away from home

9. Sick In The Head
Original tab by: -Sauce
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 7th Fret
chords used:
e |-(3)-0--3-(3)-(3)
|--2--3--0--2--(0)
These riffs can be used by a second guitar to add a little something to the song.
If you're playing on your own, they're not necessary, but if you have the skill
level to incorporate the into the chords, it makes the song sound more complete,
but it can be tricky.
Riff 1 - plays throughout whole song except last two lines where riff two is played
Riff 2 - plays during the last two lines before the fade out 'i will not live life
underneath it all...let's just make this count a lot in here'
The first two verses have chords changes that happen when no lyrics are sung.
Listen to the song for timing.
-
People say I'm no good
Write me off, oh yes they should
Fuck 'em they're just sick in the head
They're writing my history
Think somebody should've asked me
Everyone was safe in their beds
Their beds And I said
I won't live, won't live like them
Everyone, they're all seeing red
I don't know
If it's alright with you, but I'll be gone
A ghost will be here in my stead, my stead
And I said
Bridge (Riff 2 plays during these two lines)
I can't live life underneath it all
Everyone is older now and gone
I will not be here forever dear
So let's just make this count a lot in here

RELATIVE TO CAPO ON 4TH
Oh, the devil's inside
You opened the door
You gave him a ride
Too young to know, too old to admit
That you couldn't see how it ends
+
What did you do to my eyes
+
What did you sing to that lonely child
+
Promised it all but you lied
+ (b5)/
You better slow down baa-by soon
It's all or nothing to you
The glow of Hollywood signs
They sold you a bridge
They fed you the lines (they fed you to lions)
You always confused your servants for friends
But you couldn't see how it ends
It's all or nothing to you
+
What did you do to my eyes
+
What did you say to my only child
+
Promised your love but you lied
+ (b5)/
You better slow down baa-by soon
It's all or nothing to you
+
What did you do to my eyes
+
What did you sing to that lonely child
Promised it all but you lied

You better slow down baa-by soon
