Down I will not die (Fig. 2) When I’m well I long to be Only in love with you But I guess I’ll never be whole And you know it’s true (Fig. 2) It does not stop me that we all die I know this trip’s to slaughter But if only I could let me cry I’d feel the healing water Down I will not die. Down I will not die. Down I will not die.

This town’s gotta shake down to its roots And I don’t know if that’s the sands or the tropical fruits I don’t believe all the things I see But I’m still bettin’ on you and me Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. She was goin’ for a ride and I don’t mean in a car Had the brain about the size of a frozen pea But on a scale of one to ten she was twenty-three Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. A big fat man’s gonna make me a king He gotta see through tan and a pinky diamond ring Slick back hair shirt to his thigh Import silk slave labor dyed Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta go get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. A tattoo is a popular accoutrement It come in red and in blue and it says anything you want Some folks say your gonna regret But the somedays haven’t come around just yet Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta go get out of L.A. And the boy-whores sell their souls on the boulevard And that’s a shirt-free store where they don’t take credit cards From the hills to the chills it’s a quick fall down It’s a great big city it’s a real small town Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta get out of L.A. Hey hey baby we gotta go get out of L.A.

You Mama You [Intro] just strumming a G chord When I was young and pushed around And beaten up and beaten down Who’d I run to mama tell me who And as I grew to be a man And all the world held such élan I did what I thought I just had to do It was you mama you it was you all along It was you I ran away from I was wrong And if I could I’d change my life I swear to God I’d cut it out with a knife And with glue stick I’ reapply it in song Continue the same chunking pattern And laid back Kerouac never had no heart attack Drinking and thinking about the place he ran back to The moloch is an old man the moloch is a love-lack Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend Jack Mama sometimes and I remember you chorus Man loves woman Mother loves child Sometimes I call my lady mama So I can feel at home for a while So I can feel at home for a while Looking around at all the Mellencamp towns The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds I found places and traces of a storybook world And I went out there for a ride On the misty coast but the holy host is under the Mickey D’s American flag and it’s unfurled chorus Man loves woman sometimes Mother loves child Sometimes I call my lady mama So I can feel at home for awhile So I can feel at home for awhile George (Fig.1) e-----3-|---0---|-----3-|---0---|-----3-|---0---|---1-1-|

An angel on earth She stood there and she told us She had clearly rehearsed every verse Of the lies that tie you down I’ve forgotten my first love I haven’t seen her since when There’s a bum on the corner He thinks that I’m his best friend we pretend He says the rapture is any day That’s when God’s coming round But maybe he best stay away They’ll run him right out of town like a clown With the lies that tie you down There are times when a man feels That it’s him against the world There are times when a man steals From the love of his girl There are days when a beast dies Long before the gun And there are days when a crow flies Straight into the sun to be done With the lies that tie you down The lies that tie you down The lies that tie you down (Fig. 2) Nineteen-ninety Nineteen-ninety

the objects in my home I am caressed by my razor And so am not alone I spoon an oversized pillow I bought for such that use And to the flowers in my garden I am lover not recluse If you my dear were such a flower You would stay and only grow And I would tend to you and water baby And straight up would you go You would spread and maybe blossom With each passing summer’s day And not the suitors from a hundred hives Could draw your love away (Fig. 3) Then as autumn shut the light Down in advance of winter’s bite According to true lover’s creed You would not die but go to seed (Fig. 1) For so it is with paper towels And other things about my place The old begets the new And the things I need keep up to pace But you my dear are gone forever You left no silly seed behind Save a rotten pit it lingers Cherry stone in my mind (Fig. 2) You’re not a paper towel no You’re like the wind go howling (Fig. 3) You fled as if the autumn greys Were the herald of final days Uprooting with your seeds An all cruel harvest of love’s first fall (Fig. 2) You’re not a paper towel You’re like the wind go howling Can’t wrap you around my dowel no no You’re like the wind go howling Bring her back for me Little Bo Peep I’ve got to find her I can’t Go to sleep (Fig. 3) In Between e-----3---|-1-1-0-1-|-1-1-0-1-|-0-----------|--|---------- b---3---3-|-3-3-3-3-|-1-1-1-1-|-1-----------|--|----------

some time in a State Penitentiary I believe he made ten cents an hour And I knew a girl in college as sweet as the summer sun Never worried ’bout books or knowledge She was busy having too much fun And I hear these days she’s livin’ at home with her three-year-old son Readin’ up on women taking power (Chorus chords) The trees grow high And the leaves they grow green Oh me oh my all the things that I have seen Don’t be surprised little bro When the world turns out mean Life is what happens in between (Verse chords) Well I knew a man old man about ninety-five He could hardly see nor stand but he was goddamn glad to be alive And he said Hey son go and taste of life Get in your car and drive And that’s exactly what I do But out here on the road You know a man leads a simple life Don’t carry no heavy loads And he don’t get time for the lady or a wife But sometimes the stars I’m followin’ Well they don’t shine so bright And that’s when I wish I was home with you (Chorus Chords) And the trees they grow high And the leaves they grow green Oh me oh my all the things that I have seen Don’t be surprised little bro When the world turns out mean Life is what happens in between [Verse chords + (fill 1)] (Verse Chords) Well you remember our dad Remember what he said He said This here’s a family Gonna be together til we’re dead Ten years and two homes ago It ain’t quite what turned out to be And I still hear those words They ring and ring and ring inside of me (Chorus Chords) The trees grow high And the leaves they grow green Oh me oh my all the things that I have seen Don’t be surprised little bro When the world turns out mean Life is what happens in between Life is what happens in between Prophet [Intro] I guess I make my way OK I guess I do I guess I get by just like you I’m keeping to myself though if you don’t mind I don’t want to leave any fingerprints Moving down the boulevard the walk of fame The Japanese they’re up against it trying to match their hand sizes with the household names And I just try to bob and weave and keep from bumping into furry fairy prostitutes And make it to the corner gonna lose myself inside outside news and I remember when I first had come to town And you suggested that I kneel and kiss the ground You were such a prophet then to me And you you’re nothing to me Nobody wants to help when you start with a please To supplicate is not the way you’ve got to put the other man down on his knees But that’s not why I arrived no that was not the reason Don’t mind if I retire from a town without one just like a season. . . I remember when I first had come to town And you suggested I kneel and kiss the ground You were such a prophet then to me And you you’re nothing to me Waltzing slowly in Counter time to your piercing cameras before me Moving closer I’ve Come to know that there’s nothing in there to show me Pretty good show she said I kinda like your style Well maybe we could go to bed and I could help you run the three-minute mile But first you gotta take the drinks you gotta learn to fake the smiles She was a piece of past her prime real estate a late great tit turnstile. . . I remember when I first had come to town And you suggested I kneel and kiss the ground You were such a prophet then to me And you you’re nothing to me I remember when (Repeat) (7b) e- 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0

next time around" And I walked for miles and carried my bags On streets with no sidewalks in search of a ride It was me and a Baby Ruth A chewy chunk of chocolate truth And here from the bus I would like to say thanks Thank you I had imagined a breakfast of coffee And muffins maybe some cinnamon toast If I believed I’d gain your attendance I could have provided the ho-holy host And I walked for miles in search of a ride On streets with no sidewalks and carried my bags It was me and a Baby Ruth A chewy chunk of chocolate truth And here from the bus I’d just like to say thanks Thank you Thanks a lot Thank you not Two seats behind me reclining An angel is peering at me now from under a book She catches me staring and smiles to the window Again I’m in love and with only a look And it must be it’s true I am free And last night a bird you know who spoke to me Fmaj G6 A9 Saying welcome the solitude it’s your family tree Natural harmonics at the 12th fret And you would’ve been Only a heaven At noon I will fly to my city my prison And you will be forever gone from my life And soon I’ll deny any lingering vision Of me in some catalogue and you as my wife ’Cause I walked for miles in search of a ride On streets with no sidewalks and steep muddy banks It was me and a Baby Ruth A chewy chunk of chocolate truth And here from the bus I’d just like to say thanks Thank you Thank you Thanks a lot Thank you I was walkin’ down the road carryin’ a heavy load Feelin’ and believin’ that might’ve been a prince toad But no Fill 1 e-0-0-0-2-3-| b-1-1-1-1-1-| g-0-0-0-0-0-| d-0-0-0-0-0-|

E-3-----------|-------------|--------------|---------------| (Fig. 1) I got a letter today An invitation The writing looked like you Hello how are you and by the way Please RSVP I do I thought of writing sad words Of how it used to be But I didn’t wanna bring you down I guess the bells’ll ring pretty well without me Don’t worry ’bout me baby I’ll wear the thorny crown I’ll play the clown If you think that I don’t love you You’re dead wrong And that don’t matter anyway I couldn’t bear to see you up there with the white dress on Here’s my vow to you: I’ll stay away (Fig. 1) I remember when In a lover’s whisper you said No other man would ever share your bed But we both know that’s not been so And I wish I’d never let you go Now you’ve found a better man instead I wish you health and wealth And a white house on the hill And I I hope you raise a family Little boy and a little girl A little more joy in this little old world Would that it be enough for me If you think that I don’t love you You’re dead wrong And that don’t matter now anyway I couldn’t bear to see you up there with the white dress on Here’s my vow to you: I’ll stay away Time rolls on and dreams they die And I’ve thrown out the pictures I had of you & I And if you’re wondering if love can be true Well think of me and my baby darling Like I like I do Old friendships fade away Love falls apart And you’ve not spent a single day outside my heart And there’s just one more dream I have inside for you I hope you’re smiling when He turns around and says I do I do / / Ddim7 e-3 0 2 0 0 2 3 3 2 0 b-3 1 3 0 0 3 3

That was all I heard When you spoke to me Ah ah aye Ah ah aye I want you You Asked me if I knew What a nipple was for Put me on the floor And then raped me to explode Ah ah aye I found you I had much more than I wanted I found much more than I gave The lives we’re living Are too complex for words Yet we are turds Of great philosophers In the sky Way up high cockadoodle-doo I found much more than I wanted I got much more than I gave Mary had a little boy And the little lamb Who am I... And why... Are you... I got much more than I wanted I got much more than I get / / e-0 0 0 0 0 b-0 1 2 1 0 g-0 0 2 0 2 d-2 2 2 2 2 a-2 3 0 3 0 E-0 x x 0 0
