The [C5] print-out's blocked (It re-[F]-lied on [Bb6] you) [C5] … The [Bb6] turbine’s [F] cracked up, [C5] … The [Bb6] building’s [F] froze up [C5] … The [Bb6] system [F] choked up, [C5] … What [Bb6] can we [F] do? [Eb] Please re-mem-ber to [F] men-tion me, In [Bb] tapes you [Db] leave be-[Ab]-hind [Ab]

    [C5] / / / | [Bb6] / [F] / | (x4) The [C5] black box failed (The [F] codes got [Bb6] crossed) And the [C5] jails decayed (The [F] keys got [Bb6] lost) [C5] Everyone kissed (We [F] breathe ex-[Bb6]-haust) In the [C5] new arcade (Of the [F] hol-o-[Bb6]-caust) [C5] … The [Bb6] turbine’s [F] cracked up, [C5] … The [Bb6] building’s [F] froze up [C5] … The [Bb6] system [F] choked up, [C5] … What [Bb6] can we [F] do?

    Good Year For The Roses (by Elvis Costello)

    Intro: [A] / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |

    I can [A] hardly bare the sight of lipstick On the ciga-[D]-rettes there in the [A] ashtray Lying' [A] cold the way you left them But at least your lips car-[D]-ressed them while you [A] packed Or the [D] lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee That you poured and didn't [A] drink But at [E] least you thought you wanted it That's so much more than I can say [A] for me

    [A7] What a good year for the [D] roses [E] Many blooms still linger [A] there The lawn could stand another [Bm] mowing [E] Funny, I don't even [A] care [A7] As you turned to walk a-[D]-way [E] As the door behind you [D] clo-[A]-ses The only thing I have to [Bm] say [E] It's been a good year for the [A] ro-[D]-ses / [A] / [E] / [A] / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |

    After [A] three full years of marriage It's the first time that you [D] haven't made the [A] bed I guess the [A] reason we're not talking There's so little left to [D] say we haven't [A] said While a [D] million thoughts go racing through my mind I find I haven't said a [A] word From the [E] bedroom the familiar sound Of our baby's crying goes [A] unheard

    [A7] What a good year for the [D] roses [E] Many blooms still linger [A] there The lawn could stand another [Bm] mowing [E] Funny, I don't even [A] care [A7] As you turned to walk a-[D]-way [E] As the door behind you [D] clo-[A]-ses The only thing I have to [Bm] say [E] It's been a good year for the [A] ro-[D]-ses / [A] / [E] /

    [D] During the war time an American pilot Made every air raid a time of ex-[A]-citement, She moved to his prairie, and married the Texan She learnt from a distance, how love was a [D] lesson, He became drinker and she became mother She [D7] knew that one day she'd be [G] one or the other, He [A7] ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy Proud of her features, she [G] kept [F#m] her-[Em]-self [D] pretty [D]

    [D] He like a cowboy died drunk in a slumber Out on the porch in the middle of [A] summer, She crossed the ocean, back home to her family But they had retired, to roads that were [D] sandy, She moved home alone without friends or relations [D7] Lived in a world full of [G] age reservation, On [A7] moth eaten armchairs, she'd say that she's sod all The friends who had left her to [G] drink [F#m] from [Em] the [D] bottle [D]

    [D] Drinks to remember, I [Em7] me and myself And [A7] winds up the clock, and knocks dust from the [D] shelf Home is a love that I [Em7] miss very much So the [A] past has been bottled and [G] la-[F#m]-belled [Em] with [D] love

    Under Your Thumb (by Godley and Creme)

    Intro: [Dm] / / / | / / / / | / /

    I was [Dm] standing in the station being [G] pounded by the rain So I [Dm] chose the last compartment of a [G] stationary train Felt some-[B]-one get in be-[Bb]-hind me but I [B] never caught their [Bb] eye But I [B] thought I heard a [Bb] woman's voice, [B] whispering [Bb] Good-[B]-bye / / / [Bb] / / / [F#] / / / [Ebm] / / / | / / So I [Dm] lay down in the darkness with the [G] beer and coffee stains And I [Dm] stared out at the thunder through the [G] broken window panes And al-[B]-though the storm was [Bb] booming like an [B] engine in the [Bb] sky I'm [B] sure I heard a [Bb] woman's voice [B] cry / / / [Bb] / / /

    Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [Dm] thumb for-[C]-ever [Dm] Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [Dm] thumb for-[C]-ever [Dm] Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [F] thumb, [C] .. it's over and [F] done I'll never be [C] .. under your [F] thumb for-[Ebm]-ever / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / /

    So I [Dm] rolled myself a cigarette and [G] smoked it on my own But it [Dm] didn't stop the whispers or the [G] smell of her cologne Then she [B] rose up out of [Bb] nowhere and her [B] hair was full of [Bb] steam And she [B] stuck her head out the [Bb] window and [B] screamed [Bb] And [B] screamed [Bb] … she [B] screamed [Bb]

    Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [Dm] thumb for-[C]-ever [Dm] Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [Dm] thumb for-[C]-ever [Dm] Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [F] thumb, [C] .. it's over and [F] done I'll never be [C] .. under your [F] thumb for-[Ebm]-ever / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | [F#] / / / | / / / / | [E] / / / | / / / / |

    (Spoken) So I [F#] picked up an old newspaper … to [E] read / / / | / / / / | and I [F#] noticed something very strange … in-[E]-deed / / / | / / / / | So I [Dm] looked a little closer and it [G] chilled me to the bone "Woman [Dm] throws herself from speeding train, i-[G]-dentity un-known" But I [B] recognized the [Bb] picture of the [B] woman who was [Bb] dead And [B] underneath the [Bb] picture it [B] said [Bb]

    Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [Dm] thumb for-[C]-ever [Dm] Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [Dm] thumb for-[C]-ever [Dm] Don't wanna be [C] .. under your [F] thumb, [C] .. it's over and [F] done I'll never be [C] .. under your [F] thumb for-[Ebm]-ever / / / | / / / / | / / / | / / / / |
