[Am]I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my [C]mind
There was something so pleasant about that [F]place.
Even your emotions had an echo, in so much [E]space

[Am]And when you're out there, without care,
Yeah, I was out of [C]touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know e[F]nough
I just knew too [E]much

Does that make me [Am]crazy?
Does that make me [C]crazy?
Does that make me [F]crazy?
Probab[E]ly…

[A]And I hope that you are having the time of your [F]life
But think [C]twice, that's my only ad[E]vice
Come on now, who do [Am]you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you [C]are,
Ha ha ha bless your [F]soul
You really think you're in con[E]trol

Well, I think you're [Am]crazy!
I think you're [C]crazy!
I think you're [F]crazy, Just like [E]me…

[A]My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a [F]limb
And all I re[C]member is thinking, I want to be like [E]them
[Am]Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like [C]fun
And it's no coincidence I've [F]come, And I can die when I'm [E]done

Maybe I'm [Am]crazy
Maybe you're [C]crazy
Maybe we're [F]crazy

How did Mandela get the will to sur[pass the everyday
when injustice had him caged and trapped in every way?
How did Gandhi ever withstand the hunger strikes at all?
Didn't do it to gain power or money if I recall.
It's the gift, I guess I'll pass it on, mother thinks it'll lift the stress of Babylon
my mother knows, my mother she suffered blows
I don't know how we survived such violent episodes
I was so worried, it hurt to see you bleed,
but as soons as you came out the hospital you gave me sweets yea,
they tried to take you from me, but you still only gave 'em some prayers and
sympathy.
Dear Mama, you helped me write this
by showing me to give is priceless

Creatin' medication out my own tribulations

Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say.
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.

And we'll all float on any way, well.

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand.
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on good news is on the way.

[C]She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studies sculpture at St. Martins College
That’s where [G]I caught her eye
[C]She told me that her dad was loaded
I said "In that case I’ll have a rum and coca-cola"
She said [G]"fine" and in a thirty seconds time she said

[F]"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people [C]do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like [G]you"
Well what else could I do? I said "I’ll see what I can [C]do"

[C]I took her to a supermarket
I don’t know why but I had to start it some[G]where - so it started there
I said [C]"Pretend you’ve got no money"
She just laughed and said "Oh, you’re so funny"
I said [G]"Yeah, well I can’t see someone else smiling in here

Are your sure[F]you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people [C]see
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like [G]me
But she didn’t understand, she just smiled and held my [C]hand

[C]Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some [G]fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll [C]never get it right, cause when you’re laid in bed at night
watching [G]roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all

[F]You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never do whatever common people [C]do
You’ll never fail like common people
You’ll never watch your life slide out of [G]view
And dance and drink and screw because there’s nothing else to [C]do

[C] [G] [C] [G]

[F]Sing along with the common people,
Sing along and it might just get you [C]thru?
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they are laughing at [G]you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is [C]cool

[C]Like a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you
look [G]out, they’ll tear you insides out
[C]Cause everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it’s all
Such a [G]laugh and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath

You will [F]never understand how it feels to live your life
With no [C]meaning or control and with nowhere left to go
You are a[G]mazed that they exist and they burn so bright
Whilst you can only [C]wonder why

[C]Rent a flat above your shop, cut you hair and get a job
Smoke some [G]fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school
But still you’ll [C]never get it right, cause when you’re laid in bed at night
watching [G]roaches climb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it all

[F]You’ll never live like common people
You’ll never do whatever common people [C]do

It was [Am]just a little while past the [Em]sunset strip
They [C]found the girl’s [G]body in an [D]open pit
Her [Am]mouth was sewn shut, but her [Em]eyes were still wide
[C]Gazing through the [G]fog to the [D]other side

They [Am]booked me on a whim and threw me [Em]deep in jail
With no [C]bail, sitting [G]silent on a [D]rusty pail
Just [Am]gazing at the marks on the [Em]opposite wall
[C]Remembering the [G]music of my [D]lover’s call

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D]

So you [Am]make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes

I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin
But they [C]say it’s never [G]too late to [D]start again

A [C]pistol and a [G]hat and a [D]worn out flute

And I [C]shot a man [G]down on the [D]edge of town
Then I [Am]stole me a horse and I [Em]rode it around
Til the [C]sheriff pulled me [G]in and he [D]sat me down

He said, [Am]you make no mistake I know just [Em]what it takes

I’ve been [Am]wandering in the dark about as [Em]long as sin

[Am] [Em] [C] [G] [D] [twice]

Well the [Am]sheriff let me go with a [Em]knife and a song
So I [C]took the first [G]train up to [D]Oregon
And I [Am]killed the first man that I [Em]came upon
Because the [C]devil works [G]quick, you know it [D]don’t take long

Then I [Am]went to the river ford to [Em]take a swim
You [C]know that black [G]river water is as [D]black as sin
And I [Am]washed myself clean as a [Em]newborn babe
And then I [C]picked up a [G]rock for to [D]sharpen my blade

Tuned down a step (i think it's a step... don't know the technical explanation, but if you put the capo on the first fret and tune it normally, then when you take off the capo, it sounds about right.)

[Am]I love my mother
[Am7]I love my father
[Am]I love my sisters, [F]too.
[Am]I bought this guitar
[Am7]To pledge my love
[Am]To pledge my love to [F]you.

I am a [Am]rock bottom [Am7]riser
[Am]And I owe it all to [F]you
I am a [Am]rock bottom [Am7]riser

At the bottom of the [Dm]river
[C]Glinting at my foolish [Dm]heart
So my [C]foolish heart
Had to go [Dm]diving
[C]Diving, diving, diving
Into the [Dm]murk

And from the [C]bottom of the river
I looked [Dm]up for the sun
Which had [C]shattered in the water

As I [C]thrashed and I grabbed
I started [Dm]rising, rising, rising

[Am]I left my mother
[Am7]I left my father
[Am]I left my sisters, [F]too
[Am]I left them standing on the [Am7]banks
And they [Am]pulled me out
Of this [F]mighty, mighty, mighty river

When [A]I'm with you I'm looking for a [D]ghost
Or [Bm]invisible [Em]reasons
To fall [A]out of love and run screaming from our [D]home

[D]Because we live in a house of mirrors

Not [G]nobody, not a thousand beers

That's why I'm [Em]here on your doorstep

It al[A]lows me to talk endlessly to [D]you

I'm [G]good at it, I've mastered it
A[Em]voiding, avoiding [A]everything

And [D]not what loves you [G]back

A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash)

Written by Shel Silverstein

Chords Used: A-D-E

Capo 2

[A]My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't [D]leave much to ma and me
Just [E]this old guitar and an empty bottle of [A]booze.
[A]Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the [D]meanest thing that he ever did
Was [E]before he left, he went and named me [A]"Sue."

[A]Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My [D]fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd [E]roam from town to town to hide my [A]shame.
[A]But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd [D]search the honky-tonks and bars
And [E]kill that man who gave me that awful [A]name.

[A]Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I [D]just hit town and my throat was dry,
I [E]thought I'd stop and have myself a [A]brew.
[A]At an old saloon on a street of mud,
[D]There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the [E[dirty, mangy dog that named me [A]"Sue."

[A]Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a [D]worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I[E] knew that scar on his cheek and his evil [A]eye.
[A]He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I [D]looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I [E]said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now you gonna [A]die!!"

[A]Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he [D]went down, but to my surprise,
He [E]come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my [A]ear.
[A]But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we [D]crashed through the wall and into the street
[E]Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the [A]beer.

[A]I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I [D]really can't remember when,
He [E]kicked like a mule and he bit like a [A]crocodile.
[A]I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He [D]went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He [E]stood there lookin' at me and I saw him [A]smile.

[A]And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be [D]tough
And I knew I wouldn't be [E]there to help ya [A]along.
[A]So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I [D]knew you'd have to get tough or die
And [E]it's the name that helped to make you [A]strong."

[A]He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I [D]know you hate me, and you got the right
To [E]kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you [A]do.
[A]But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the [D]gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause [E]I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you [A]"Sue.'"

[A]I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I [D]called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I [E]came away with a different point of [A]view.
[A]And I think about him, now and then,
Every [D]time I try and every time I win,

And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him…
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! [A]I still hate that name!

Bm: 2-2-4-4-3-2
F#m: 2-4-4-3-2-2 (he seems to be playing a different chord, but can’t quite figure it out… in the meantime, this sounds okay).

Live solo version by Glen Hansard:

Did you [Bm]fall on your [D]way
It's a [G]long way [F#m]down
Welcome [Bm]back to your [D]place
I hope you [G]know it [F#m]now
'Cause it's [Bm]true what you [D]say
We're the [G]wrong way [F#m]round

And the [Em]lie that cut the [A]worst
Has been re[Em]solved, then re[A]versed

Fina[G]lly.. Finally… Final[F#m]ly…
Final[G]ly… Finally...

Ah come [Bm]on.. show the [D]way
Where are you [G]running [F#m]now.
Is it [Bm]lack of re[D]straint
Has you [G]turning [F#m]round.

And I [Em]know, were both the [A]same
You played your [Em]part, so your part to [A]blame

When you [Bm]want something so much,
It's drawing [G]trouble on your [F#m]life
And when you [Bm]lost something so good
It's hard to [G]focus on what's [F#m]right

Instrumental:
[Bm] [D] [G] [F#m]

And in the [Em]end what hurt the [A]worst
Has been re[Em]solved and then re[A]versed
And I [D]know its not what you [A]said
It's like the [Em]letter I just sat and [A]read

Final[G]ly… Finally… Final[F#m]ly… [line 4x]

When you [Bm]found something so good,
It's drawing [G]trouble on your [F#m]life
And when you [Bm]lost something so good
It's hard to [G]focus on what's [F#m]right

I [G]love it so far… I love it so far… I [F#m]love it so far…
I [G]love it so far… I love it so far… I [F#m]love it so far… [G]

(Note: Before I looked it up, I he was saying "I'm laughing so far..." at the end... which i kind of like better.)

[D] Cross the [F#m] border, [G] into the [A] big bad world
Where it [D] takes you about an hour just to [F#m] cross the road,
Just to [G] stumble across another [A] poor old soul,
From the [D] dreary old lanes to the [F#m] High St madness,
I [G] fight with my brain to [A] believe my eyes
And it's [D] harder than you think to [F#m] believe this sadness,
It [G] creeps up my spine and haunts me [A] through the night

Life is [Bm7] good, and the girls are gorgeous,
[G] Suddenly the air smells much greener now
And I'm [Bm7] wandering around with a half pack of cigarettes
[A] Searching for the change I've lost somehow

These [D] Streets, have too many [F#m] names for me
I'm [G] used to Glenfield Road and spending [A] my time down in Or[D]chy
I'll get used to this [F#m] eventually I [G] know, I [A] know

[D] Where'd the [F#m] days go [G] when all we [A] did was lay
And the [D] stress that we were under wasn't [F#m] stress at all,
Just a [G] run and a jump into a [A] harmless fall
From [D] walking by a high-rise to a [F#m] landmark square,
You see [G] millions of people with [A] millions of cares
And I [D] struggle to the train to make [F#m] my way home
I [G] look at the people as they [A] sit there alone

Life is [Bm7] good and the sun is shining,
[G] Everybody floods to their ideal place
And the [Bm7] children all smile as the boats shuffle by them,
[A] Trying to pretend that they've got some space.

[D]swinging the world by the [G] tail
bouncing over a [D] white cloud
[A] killing the [D] blues

[D] Now I'm guilty of something
I hope you never do, because there is [G] nothing
sadder than [D] losing yourself in love.

[A] somebody said they saw me
[D]swinging the world by the [G] tail
bouncing over a [D] white cloud
[A] killing the [D] blues

Instrumental
[D] [G] [D] - [A] [D] [G] - [D] [A] [D]

[D]Now you ask me just to leave you
to go out on my own and get what I [G] need to
you want me to [D] find what I've already had

[A] somebody said they saw me
[D]swinging the world by the [G] tail
bouncing over a [D] white cloud
[A] killing the [D] blues
