1. DO YOU LOVE ME?
Bass intro:
(Guitar plays , , , over piano solo)
I found her on the night of fire and noise
Wild bells rang ina wild sky
I knew from that moment on
(riff 1 here)
That I would love her till the day that i died
And I kissed away a thousand tears
My lady of the various sorrows
(riff 2 here)
Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
So I kept some safe for tomorrow
On an endless night silver star spangled
The bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me
Like i love you
, , ,
, , ,
She was given to me to put things right.
And I stacked all of my accomplishments beside her.
Yet I feel so obsolete and small
(riff 1 here)
I found God and all his devils inside her.
In my bed, she cast the blizzard out.
A mock sun blazed upon her head.
(riff 2 here)
And so completely filled with light, she was
Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad.
Our love lines grew hopelessly tangled
And the bells from the chapel went jingle-jangle
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me? (Do You Love Me?)
Do You Love Me
Like i love you

REPEAT!

2. NOBODY'S BABY NOW
--12-|-12-12-12-13-|-13-12-|
--13-|-13-13-13-13-|-13-13-|
Riff 1 :-
Riff 2:-
I've read the holy books
(Riff 1)
Tried to unravel the mystery og Jesus Christ the saviour
I've read the poets and the analysts
(riff 1)
Searched through the books on human behaviour
I've travelled the whole world around
Searching for an answer that refused to be found
I don't know why and I don't know how
But she's nobody's baby now
riff again
Same as verse one but play Riff 2 in place of
riff 1 (at appropriate places).
3. LOVERMAN
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
Bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
(how much longer)
etc.
Loverman! Since the world began
Forever Amen! Till the end of time
Take of that dress I'm coming down
I'm your loverman cause i am what i am what i am what I am
L is for love baby
O is for only you that i do
V is for loving virtually everything that you are
is for loving almost everything that you do
R is for rape me
M is for murder me
A is for answering all of my prayers
N is for knowing your loverman's going to be the answer to all of yours
Back to pre-chorus and then back to verse.
4. JANGLING JACK
Jangling Jack goes yackety yack
Visits the home of the brave, hails a fat yellow cab
Jack wanna celebrate, Jack wanna big drink
Driver drops him at a bar called the rinky dink
Jack pushes through the door and crosses the floor
Tips his hat to a man grinning in the corner
going do dum do, do dum do, do da do, do da do.
says I'm jangling jack I go do da do
I wanna Rinky Dink Special with a little umbrella too
Jack flops on his stool Sees the grinning man laugh
So Jack laughs back jack raises his glass
Says God bless this country and evrything in it
The losers and the winners the good guys and the sinners
The grinning man says Buddy it's all yackety yack
Whips out a little black pistol shoots a bullet in jack
Jangling jack, dp da do, do da do
Jangling jack How do you do da do
Repeat all.
5. RED RIGHT HAND
Riff 1:
Riff 2:
take a little walk to the edge of town, Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms, like abird of doom, as it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires ij the humming wires
Hey man you know you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat and a red right hand
Repeat over the next two verses then play riff 1
Final verse (you'll see him in your nightmares ...etc)
Organ solo 2 - Riff2
6. I LET LOVE IN
-
Despair and deception love's ugly little twins
came a knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling you're the punishment for all my former sins
I let love in, I let love in
repeat x 3
()
O, Lord tell me what i've done
() ()
Pleaes don't leave me here on my own
()
Where are my friends My friends are gone
Repeat

Return to beginning for final verse.
7. THIRSTY DOG
* * * *
(dampened)
I know you've heard it all before but I'm sorry for this three year war
For setting up the camps and wires and trenches
I'm sorry for the other night I know sorry don't make it right
I'm sorry for things I cannot even mention
* * * *
I'm sorry sorry sorry sorry
(intro riff x 2)
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the thirsty dog
* * * *
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
(intro riff x 2)
I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
Repeat over remaining verses/chorus
8. AIN'T GONNA RAIN ANYMORE
- |-||-||
-
Once there came a storm in the form of a girl
-
It blew to pieces my snug little world
-
Sometimes i swear i can still hear her howl
-
Down through the Wreckage and the ruins
And it aint gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
( bass)
Now my baby's gone
repeat
And it aint gonna rain anymore
Now my baby's gone
And it ain't gonna rain anymore
( bass)
Now my baby's gone
And I, And I'm on my own
She ain't coming back no more
She ain't coming back no more
She ain't coming back no more
Say what you will, I don't care
9. LAY ME LOW
They're gonna lay me low (lay me low)
They're gonna sink me in the snow
They're gonna throw back their heads and crow,
When i go
They're gonna jump and shout (lay me low)
They're gonna wave their arms about
All the stories will come out
/
When I go
All the stars will glow bright (lay me low)
All my friends will give up the fight
They'll see my work in a different light
When i go
They'll try telephoning my mother (lay me low)
They'll end up getting my brother
Who'll spill the story on some long lost lover
/
that they hardly know
Hats off to the man, On top of the world
Come crawl up here baby, and I'll show you how it works
If you wanna be my friend and you wanna repent
And you want it all to end and you wanna know when
Then do it now, don't care how take your final bow
Make a stand, take my hand, and blow it all to hell.
Repeat
10. DO YOU LOVE ME? (PART 2)
( and played as slow single strums allowing each note of the
chords to ring out)
Onward and onward and onward i go
Where no man before could be bothered to go
Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes
()
And it's all downhill with a bullet
This rambin and rovin has taken its course
I'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses
And the city streets crack and great hole forces me down
()
with my soapbox, my pulpit.
The theatre ceiling is silver star spangled
and the coins in my pocket go jingle jangle
Do you love me (do do, do do, do do, do do,)
Do You love me (do do, do do, do do, do do)
Do you love me
Repeat over remaining verses.
