[G]

[C]Where are you going [F]I don't [G]mind
I've [C]killed my world and I've [F]killed my [G]time
So [C]where do I go [F]what do I [G]see
I see [C]many people coming [F]after [G]me
So [C]where are you going to [F]I don't [E]mind
If I [Am]live too [Am7]long I'm a[F]fraid I'll [C]die
So [F]I will follow you wher[C]ever you [E]go
If your [Am]offered [Am7]hand is still [F]open to [C]me

CHORUS:
[E]Strangers [E7]on this [Am]road we are [F]on
[C]We are not [G]two; we are [C]one [Cm6] [F] [C] [G]

[C]So you've been where [F]I've just [G]come
[C]From the land that brings [F]losers [G]on
So [C]we will share this [F]road we [G]walk
And [C]mind our mouths and [F]beware our [G]talk
Till [C]peace we find tell you [F]what I'll [E]do
All the [Am]things I [Am7]own I will [F]share with [C]you
And if I [F]feel tomorrow like I [C]feel to[E]day
We'll [Am]take what we [Am7]want and give the [F]rest a[C]way

[CHORUS]

[C]Holy man and [F]holy [G]priest
This [C]love of life makes me [F]weak in my [G]knees
And [C]when we get there [F]make your [G]play
Cause [C]soon I feel you're gonna [F]carry us a[G]way
In a [C]promised lie you [F]made us be[E]lieve
For [Am]many [Am7]men there is [F]so much [C]grief
And my [F]mind is proud but it [C]aches with [E]rage
And if I [Am]live too [Am7]long I'm a[F]fraid I'll [C]die ...

[CHORUS]
[E]Strangers [E7]on this [Am]road we are [F]on
[C]We are not [G]two; we are [C]one [Cm6] [F] [G] [C]

Long Way Home (Tom Waits)

Chords used: A-A7-F#m-D

F#m: 2-4-4-2-2-2



capo 1

[A]Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
Though I said I'd go before us
And [A7]show the way back [F#m]home
There a [D]light up a[E]head
I [A]can't hold on very [D]long
For[A]give me pretty baby but I [E]always take the long way [A]home

[A]Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
Got a head full of lightning
A [A7]hat full of [F#m]rain
And I [D]know that I [E]said
I'd [A]never do it a[D]gain
And I [A]love you pretty baby but I [E]always take the long way [A]home

[A]I put food on the table
And a roof overhead
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
For the [A7]highway in[F#m]stead
Watch your [D]back, keep your eyes shut [E]tight
Your [A]love's the only thing I've ever [D]known
One thing for [A]sure pretty baby I [E}always take the long way [A]home

[E]mmmmm, [A]mmmmm, [D]mmmmm, [E]mmmmm

[E]You know I love you [A]baby
More than the whole wide world
You’re my woman
I [A7]know you are my [F#m]pearl
Let's go [D]out past the party [E]lights
Where [A]we can finally be a[D]lone
Come with [A]me...and [E]we can take the long way [A]home
Mm mm [D]mmm, come with [A]me, together
[E]we can take the long way [A]home
Mm mm [D]mmm, come with [A]me, together
[E]we can take the long way [A]home
[D] [A] [E] [A]

Lone Star (Norah Jones)

submitted by Minh

We'll kick things off with this song because it's the first song I tabbed by ear. And because Norah Jones is hot. (If you want the version from the CD, there's another non-live version at the bottom.)

(and I don't care if Trenton calls me an easy listening wuss. Actually, I do care, but it's too late now so here we go.)

Chords Used: C-F-G-E-Am-Am7-D7



[C]Lonestar [F]Where are [C]you out tonight
This [G]feeling, I'm [E]trying to [Am]fight [Am7][D7]
[G]It's dark and I [E]think that
[Am]I [Am7]would give [D7]anything
[F]for you to [G]shine down on [C]me

[C]How far, [F]you are, I[C] just don't know
The [G]distance I'm [E]willing to [Am]go [Am7][D7]
I [G]pick up a [E]stone and [Am]cast [Am7]to the [D7]sky
[F]Hoping for [G]some kind of [C]sign
