Saturday All Week
[G] Lucius sang a song
[G] And we all sang along
[G] We sang, [C] "Saturday All Week" [G]
Nothing rhymes with these words
Nothing grows in this light
It's all fluorescent bulbs
Chorus:
[D] Ooooooh, who saw it [C] coming?
[D] Aaaaaah, who coulda [C] known?
We'd have...
[G] Saturday all [D] week
[D] Saturday all [G] week
[G] Saturday all [D] week
[D] Saturday all [G] week
Because the sun was blinding
We didn't see you coming
Guess we didn't - wanna know
Nothing rhymes with Jesus
But nothing less would please us
So please - be kind
Please - be kind
(repeat Chorus)

The Cheatin' Song
[G] I can't believe he doesn't [C] notice
[G] The look that hides behind my [C] eyes

With [G] all the [D] other [G] guys
Chorus:
He must be [C] blind and deaf and [G] stupid
[D] Maybe he [C] just don't [G] care
I can't [C] believe he doesn't [G] notice
All the [D] cheatin [C] that I [G] do
I can't believe he didn't notice
I changed the color of my hair
Late at night he reaches over
But I'm not even there

Cooler Than California
Words: Boughey/Day
A-5th string, G, F, Em
A-5, G, F, F
Capo on 5
Listenin' all day to Mercury Rev
Stretched out late like taffy in the afternoon
Thinkin' all day 'bout this state of stasis
In my mirror sideways eyes of shame
Ch: A, G, F, Em
Cooler than California
Cooler than Echo Beach
Cooler than Frank Sinatra
Cooler than Angelyne
Listenin' all day to Sonic Youth
Spillin' out like coffee beans on the counter
Thinkin' all day 'bout cleaning up my room
In my mirror sideways eyes of shame
Cooler than California
Cooler than Echo Beach
Cooler than Charlie Manson
Cooler than Angelyne
A-5th string, G, F, Em

Lost It Again
A D
It's a major chord
In a major key
But it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
And I'm coming back
From another land
I found my way
And lost it again again again again again again again
(Verse inst)
Tattooed star
On your belly
It makes you famous
It makes a scar
And it's too late (yeah it's too late)
To make a better plan
To find your way
And lose it again again again again again again again
(Verse inst)
And it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
Are you coming back?
When are you coming back?
I'm still waiting
Waiting and waiting
And it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
It's a major chord
In a major key
But it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
And I'm coming back
From another land
I found my way
And lost it again again again again again again again

River Never Crossed
Verse: D C G G
V1:
She [D]told him 'bout [C]life on the [G]river
How nothin' seems to move at all
He talked about what he had forsaken
Rivers never crossed
Chorus: G D C G
[G] Watch me fall ten thousand miles
[D] Finger flames of sunset cloud
[C] Watch me make this line across the
[G] sky
[G] Fold me in your quiet arms
[D] Underwater midnight dream
[C] Whisper words that call us to
[G] sleep
V2:
He always thinks twice in the morning
(....) She never thinks at all
So many hearts left unbroken
Rivers never crossed
[Chorus]
V3:
Now she thinks of him in the evening
When the train whistle calls
Singin' 'bout roads that go nowhere
Rivers never crossed
[Chorus x2]

Moonlight Mile
Capo at the 3rd fret. The first chord is a G shape with the top (high) string left out, plus a finger on the 3rd fret of the B string. This finger stays in place throughout the chord changes. 2nd chord is a regular D, then the 3rd chord is like the first modified G chord but also has the 3rd fret on the low E string left off. I think it's some kind of a B. Fourth chord is back to the D. And that's it!
Been [G]wastin' all my [D]time
On [B]innocence and [D]wine
[G]Countin' all the [D]signs
[B]Along the moonlight [D]mile
Nothin' waits for you
We walk this world alone
There's nothing left but time
Nothing left but time
(repeat both verses)

She's listenin to the radio
And drivin with the windows down
Smokin her last cigarette
Cryin in the dashboard glow
ch1: She's goin down to Mexico
Maybe to Seattle I dunno
Callin from the Interstate
Listening to your heart break
Had to run away again
To show you just how much she really cares
ch2: She's goin to Michigan
Got a friend there with a radio show
The radio just played that song
The one you wrote just for her
And suddenly it's crystal clear
Baby knows it's time to come home

They remember you back in Radiotown

On a mission to find truth or love or something
Well did you find it at the record store?
Did you find it back in Radiotown?
We remember everything you forget
We have your record in a box - it's here somewhere
You were on to something there you had a clue
We were listening in Radiotown

Confetti had fallen
All over my brainchild
Thoughts all unfettered
Had stumbled away

I'd buy you a river

If you'd fall on my doorstep

Call you a taxi
Em
If you'd pick up the phone
C
Say it ain't so

I'll go double or nothing
D
Give you the key
Em
To my cellar door
My leg's made of needles
This plant's so dejected
I'm smothered with proverbs
I'm turning to salt
This town's made of drama
It's gettin' so wasted
Can't find my suitcase
I'm ready to go

Thought I knew about this town
Thought I knew the way back home
Looks like they tore it down

Kissed me there beside the stairs
Kissed me there, kissed me there
Looks like they tore it down

C F G
I've been leaving clues
C F G
But nothing gets through to you
C F G
I've been so alone
C F G
My heart has turned to stone
Now you've gone away
Left so much to say
I'll just stay right here
'Cause leaving never makes it clear
Chorus:
F G
Can't you see the truth
F G
See I did it all for you
F G C
I thought you were the smartest girl in town
There will come a time
When you will walk the line
When you face your fear
I will still be here
Chorus x2

Red Velvet Sky
Em G D Em
Joe was a man who loved the land
A-5 Em C-5 Em
Learned to fight before he could stand
Em G D Em
Nothing could make old Joe cry
A-5 Em C-5 Em
Nothing, aw nothing but a red velvet sky
Met a buffalo girl named Adeline
She couldn't cook but she sure looked fine
She tried so hard to make Joe cry
But she left with nothing but a red velvet sky
Chorus:
Am Em
That red velvet sky and that cold hard ground
B7 Em
Nothing but gravel and rust
Am Em
That red velvet sky makes a quiet sound
B7 Em
As a tear falls into the dust
Bill was waiting up on Crooked Hill
Adeline, his sister, said Joe he must kill
But Joe wouldn't fall and Joe wouldn't cry
Bill's last sight was a red velvet sky
Now Joe is gone and long ago
I don't know nothin' that Joe didn't know
And nothing could make old Joe cry
Nothing, aw nothing but a red velvet sky
Chorus x2

Her Grey City
(aka: Beautiful Song)
[Capo on 2]
[I just wrote the root of the chord - see above for fingering]
Intro: F C G (same chords as chorus)
C B F C
Is she thinking of you and smoking in her grey city
Does she still wear the coat that you bought – the one in the window
Is she drowning or swimming – is she making the most of the day
Just because she don’t call – don’t mean there’s nothing to say
Chorus:
F
Does she still
C
Sing
G G
That song
F
That beautiful
C G
Beautiful song
Does the morning sun warm her and send her into the day
Can she feel the tide changing – feel those clouds drifting away
Is she running or crying – is she playing her red guitar
Now you just want a cigarette – wet from her kiss in the city
Chorus x2

Lost It Again
It's a major chord
In a major key
But it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
I'm coming back
From another land
I found my way
And lost it again again again
Again again again again again again
Tattooed star
On your belly
It makes you famous
It makes a scar
And it's too late
To make a better plan
To find your way
And lose it again again again
Again again again
Again again again...
Repeat 1st verse, then keep repeating repeat "again again again" with these line-pairs overlappin
And it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
Are you coming back?
When are you coming back?
I'm still waiting
waiting and waiting
I found my way
And lost it again again again again again
In a major key
But it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
I'm coming back
From another land
I found my way
And lost it again again again
Again again again again again again
Tattooed star
On your belly
It makes you famous
It makes a scar
And it's too late
To make a better plan
To find your way
And lose it again again again
Again again again
Again again again...
Repeat 1st verse, then keep repeating repeat "again again again" with these line-pairs overlappin
And it's so sad
Yeah it's so sad
Are you coming back?
When are you coming back?
I'm still waiting
waiting and waiting
I found my way
And lost it again again again again again

Box
Paris souvenir
Snapshot of an ear
Photo booth in Rome
4 pictures in a row
Box of precious things
Radio Air Force wings
Ticket stubs and cards
Keys to your old car
Now I know it's much too late
You’ve gone too far away
Forgive me if you can
Another lonely man
With a box of precious things
Lousy poems and rings
Pocket knives and change
Miniature plastic brain

Murder
Please don't break my heart again
Don't think I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
You have retreated
To a distant place
Don't think I can take it
Your eyes have changed
And you're losing grace
Such a beautiful face
Lost to empty space
Ch: It's killing you
And it's killing me
Don't you know
It's murder
Please don't say that word again
Don't think I can take it
Don't think I can fake it anymore
You used to gleam
It made me scream inside
So glad to be beside you
Now you’ve edged on down the bench
And there's nothing here beside me
But an empty space
And your empty face
It's killing you
And it's killing me
Don't you know (X3)
It's murder
Please don’t break my heart again
Don’t think I can take it (X3)
Don't think I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
You have retreated
To a distant place
Don't think I can take it
Your eyes have changed
And you're losing grace
Such a beautiful face
Lost to empty space
Ch: It's killing you
And it's killing me
Don't you know
It's murder
Please don't say that word again
Don't think I can take it
Don't think I can fake it anymore
You used to gleam
It made me scream inside
So glad to be beside you
Now you’ve edged on down the bench
And there's nothing here beside me
But an empty space
And your empty face
It's killing you
And it's killing me
Don't you know (X3)
It's murder
Please don’t break my heart again
Don’t think I can take it (X3)

Pennsylvania
I was drunk when I wrote this song
Watching my feet as I walked along
One Two Three – baby you and me
One Two Three and now it’s raining on the street
Think I’ll go to Pennsylvania
Heard about a railroad job
Waiting for a man like me
Today I walked with Hari Krishnas
Today I dropped a dime in a cup
Today I think I used up all my change
Today I musta called you fifty times
Guess I’ll go to Pennsylvania
Heard about a certain girl
Waiting on a certain corner
Waiting for a man like me
Waiting just for me
I was drunk when I wrote this song
Watching my feet as I walked along
One Two Three – baby you and me
One Two Three and now it’s raining on the street
Think I’ll go to Pennsylvania
Heard about a certain girl
Waiting on a certain corner
Waiting there she’s waiting now
I hear her
Waiting
Waiting for a man like me
Waiting just for me
Waiting for a man like me
Watching my feet as I walked along
One Two Three – baby you and me
One Two Three and now it’s raining on the street
Think I’ll go to Pennsylvania

Waiting for a man like me
Today I walked with Hari Krishnas
Today I dropped a dime in a cup
Today I think I used up all my change
Today I musta called you fifty times

Die of Hope
If I die of hope
Bury me where the sun comes up
And if I die of shame
Just lay me down on a moonless night
Chorus:
Because life is long
It goes on and on
Make no mistake
There's no escape
If I die alone
Bury me where the cows come home
And if I die at peace
Bury me at sea
Chorus x2
If I die of hope
Bury me where the sun comes up...
Bury me where the sun comes up
And if I die of shame
Just lay me down on a moonless night
Chorus:
Because life is long
It goes on and on
Make no mistake
There's no escape
If I die alone
Bury me where the cows come home
And if I die at peace
Bury me at sea
Chorus x2
If I die of hope
Bury me where the sun comes up...

Til You're Gone
He won't love you 'til you're gone
Then he'll write a little song
While all the leaves are falling down
When all the kids come back to town
He'll miss the color of your hair
And he'll see you everywhere
And he'll forget he put you down
When all the kids come back to town
Repeat 1st verse
While all the leaves are falling down
When all the kids come back to town
Then he'll write a little song
While all the leaves are falling down
When all the kids come back to town

And he'll see you everywhere
And he'll forget he put you down
When all the kids come back to town

Nothing
Got a half harvest moon
And a bittersweet smile
Boots on the landing
Then nothing at all
No note on my window
No anger, no pain
No one to take from me
My nothing at all...
Chorus:
Aw, nothin / I got that in spades
When you've got nothing / They can't take it away
And nothing / nothing would make me feel better
Then nothing / nothing at all...
...but a half harvest moon
And a full cup o' wine
Filled up with nothing
Nothing at all
The circle is broken
Just one in a chain
Of thoughts never spoken
Of nothing at all
Chorus x 2
And a bittersweet smile
Boots on the landing

Song for Mikey
I heard the saddest news today
Heard it in a funny way
Tuning my guitar between songs
About a hundred years ago
Just another band on MFO
But for a moment we felt like stars
We sang
Doo doo doot doo – doo doo doot doo doooooo X2
I know I’ve got that tape somewhere
The one with Mikey on the air
Laughing at our terrible jokes
Sitting on that fire escape
Smokin’ butts while we waited
To play our songs On The Town
We sang
Doo doo doot doo – doo doo doot doo doooooo X4
I heard the saddest news today
Heard it in a funny way
Tuning my guitar between songs

Driving In America
Driving in America
Living like an astronaut
Getting high on dinosaurs
This was not the plan
Forget me in this restaurant
Gimme all your debutantes
This room is full of elephants
I can barely see
Don’t you feel alone
Don’t you feel afraid
It’s beautiful inside
Let’s just all go home
Your tower made of cellophane
Nose against a windowpane
Now there’s nothing left but rain
This was not the plan
Don’t you feel alone
Don’t you feel afraid
It’s beautiful inside
Let’s just all go home
Driving in America
Living like an astronaut
Gettin high on dinosaurs
This was not the plan

Her Grey City
Is she thinking of you and smoking in her gray city
Does she still wear the coat that you bought – the one in the window
Is she drowning or swimming – is she making the most of the day
Just because she don’t call – don’t mean there’s nothing to say
Does she still
Sing
That song
That beautiful
Beautiful song
Does the morning sun warm her and send her out into the day
Can she feel the tide changing – feel the clouds drifting away
Is she running or crying – is she playing her red guitar
Now you just want a cigarette – wet from her kiss in the city
Does she still
Sing
That song
That beautiful
Beautiful song
Does she still wear the coat that you bought – the one in the window

L.A. (Lower Allston)
Walking around in LA
Guess it’s just one of those days
When everything seems kinda lazy
Nothing matters at all
Now I can’t remember your number
But I can remember your face
We used to go down by the river
Flake out under a tree
Make our own private asylum
Make like nothing mattered at all
Now I can’t remember your number
But I can remember your face
Walking around in a haze
Just like that day in LA
When everything seemed kinda lazy
Nothing seemed out of place
Now I can’t remember your number
But I can remember your face
Now I can’t remember your number
But I can remember your face
Guess it’s just one of those days
When everything seems kinda lazy
Nothing matters at all
Now I can’t remember your number
But I can remember your face
We used to go down by the river

Big Sad Soul
TV glows through the chicken wire
Sunset grows these shadows higher
Daydream breaks as the screen door slams
There’s not much time
There’s a train goes right by here
Destination unclear
Seen that look on a face before
Whistle’s blowing, there’s the door
I know you’ve got a big sad soul
Just like mine, mama told me so
Don’t leave me here when it’s time to go
All alone with my big sad soul
All alone with my big sad soul
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Thought by now there’d be a sign
Some kind of peace, at least a prize for trying
Now that red horizon’s calling
Mama’s in the kitchen bawling
I know you’ve got a big sad soul
Just like mine, mama told me so
Don’t leave me here when it’s time to go
All alone with my big sad soul
All alone with my big sad soul
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh
Sunset grows these shadows higher

Lost In Space
Music: Sakowski
Words: Boughey
D Am C G
I’m lost in space
Each passing day
Your frozen face
Floats by my window
Like a worry line
‘Round and ‘round
This silent earth
Day into night
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m so high
Like a princess you wait
I’m a feather
Like a camera
I count this time
Like a worry line
‘Round and ‘round
This silent earth
Your frozen face
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m so high
I’m so high
I’m so high
Words: Boughey
D Am C G
I’m lost in space
Each passing day
Your frozen face
Floats by my window
Like a worry line
‘Round and ‘round
This silent earth
Day into night
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m so high
Like a princess you wait
I’m a feather
Like a camera

Like a worry line
‘Round and ‘round
This silent earth
Your frozen face
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m flying
I’m so high
I’m so high
I’m so high

Indie Pop Song
Don’t know how to tell you what I feel
‘Cause I’m not really sure myself
You can say that that’s okay
But I can tell it’s really not
And when you drop me off this time
I’ll wonder whether I was clear
Or did I just confuse you more
Or maybe it doesn’t even matter
What’s the difference
It’s all gotta end someday
You’ll play an encore
Watch the crowd fade away
It doesn’t matter
If we played our songs to perfection
‘Cause it’s just an indie pop song
And it always ends this way
I could run away across the world
Get a job and never leave
Trade my guitar in for a horse
Maybe drive a taxi
And you can build your pyramid
Across the sea, finally get what you need
Get the perfect haircut
Start another rock band
What’s the difference
Y’know it’s all gotta end someday
You’ll play an encore
Watch the crowd fade away
It doesn’t matter
If we played our songs to perfection
‘Cause it’s just an indie pop song
And it always ends this way
Don’t know how to tell you what I feel
‘Cause I’m not really sure myself
You can say that that’s okay
But I can tell it’s really not
‘Cause I’m not really sure myself
You can say that that’s okay
But I can tell it’s really not
And when you drop me off this time
I’ll wonder whether I was clear
Or did I just confuse you more
Or maybe it doesn’t even matter

The Ballad of Tom Billings
Came in outta the sun with his hair on fire
No one ‘round here’d seen his like before
With his singin’ spurs and his tumbleweed heart
He’s a man on a mission
If he can find one good man
He can rest at last
One good man in this city of saints
One good man
One good man
One good man
Her hands are tired and her boots are worn
No one here remembers
The way she smiled when he walked in
Like she’d made a decision
If she can find one good man
She can rest at last
One good man in this city of saints
One good man
One good man
One good man
(repeat)
Repeat 1st verse
No one ‘round here’d seen his like before
With his singin’ spurs and his tumbleweed heart
He’s a man on a mission
If he can find one good man

One good man
One good man
One good man
Her hands are tired and her boots are worn
No one here remembers
The way she smiled when he walked in
Like she’d made a decision
If she can find one good man
She can rest at last
One good man in this city of saints
One good man
One good man
One good man

New Strings
Got new strings on my guitar
It’s like I’m back from war
And there’s just so much more
To life than you and yours
Got this old tattoo
Reminds me of you
You and that old song
We used to think was really great
Now I got a love
It just might even last
I’m not thinking about you at all
Or was it just last night
Your shadow crossed my wall
Was it just last night
Your shadow paid a call
Now I got a love
It just might even last
I’m not thinking about you at all
Or was it just last night
Got new strings on my guitar
It’s like I’m back from war
It’s like I’m back from war
And there’s just so much more
To life than you and yours
Got this old tattoo
Reminds me of you
You and that old song
We used to think was really great
Now I got a love
It just might even last
I’m not thinking about you at all
Or was it just last night
Your shadow crossed my wall
Was it just last night
Your shadow paid a call
Now I got a love
It just might even last
I’m not thinking about you at all
Or was it just last night
Got new strings on my guitar
It’s like I’m back from war

Before Then
When you wake with a start and your arms are asleep
And she’s left in the night with her things
Will you think of the time we made time stand still
And cried, and lied, no regrets
Hope you call me up before then
Before it’s all washed out to sea
Before you wake up to a note on the door
Hope you call me up before then
Hmmm, hmmm (verse)
Now you finger your sleeve
As the evening drones on
And notice a fly in your drink
You think of the time
Forget what she said
And cry, and lie, and regret
Hope you call me up before then
Before it’s all washed out to sea
Before you wake up to a note on the door
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then
And she’s left in the night with her things
Will you think of the time we made time stand still
And cried, and lied, no regrets
Hope you call me up before then
Before it’s all washed out to sea
Before you wake up to a note on the door
Hope you call me up before then
Hmmm, hmmm (verse)
Now you finger your sleeve
As the evening drones on
And notice a fly in your drink
You think of the time
Forget what she said
And cry, and lie, and regret
Hope you call me up before then
Before it’s all washed out to sea
Before you wake up to a note on the door
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then
Hope you call me up before then

Prayer for Rain
If you think about it hard then you’ll see it plain
That a cat’s meow is just a prayer for rain
A night without sleep is a waking dream
And a cat’s meow is a prayer for rain
It’s a cat’s meow
It’s a prayer for rain
This one sprung fully-grown from my brain
When the cats came in just to hear me play
Looked at me as if to say
That a cat’s meow is a prayer for rain
It’s a cat’s meow
It’s a prayer for rain
Gonna write about it in your little book
Open the spigot and let your life our out
Cross your eyes and stare up at the sky
Tip right over and spill it out
It’s a cat’s meow
It’s a prayer for rain
That a cat’s meow is just a prayer for rain
A night without sleep is a waking dream
And a cat’s meow is a prayer for rain
It’s a cat’s meow
It’s a prayer for rain
This one sprung fully-grown from my brain
When the cats came in just to hear me play
Looked at me as if to say
That a cat’s meow is a prayer for rain
It’s a cat’s meow
It’s a prayer for rain
Gonna write about it in your little book
Open the spigot and let your life our out
Cross your eyes and stare up at the sky
Tip right over and spill it out
It’s a cat’s meow
It’s a prayer for rain
