Song: Dirty Paws B* 0|2|0|2|1|0 [Verse 1] Jumping up and down the floor My head is an animal And once there was an animal It had a son that mowed the lawn The son was an ok guy Thay had a pet dragonfly The dragonfly it ran away But it came back with a story to say Hey!    Hey!    [Verse 2] Her dirty paws and furry coat She ran down the forest slope The forest of talking trees They used to sing about the birds and the bees The bees had declared a war The sky wasn’t big enough for them all The birds they got help from below From dirty paws and the creatures of snow [Instrumental] * * Hey!           Hey!   [Verse 3] And for a while things were cold They were scared down in their holes The forest that once was green Was colored black by those killing machines But she and her furry friends Took down the queen bee and her men And that’s how the story goes The story of the beast with those four dirty paws [Outro] La la la La la    la la La la la La la    la la La la la La la    la la La la la La la    la la Hey!        Hey!

Song: From Finner Capo 4 [Verse] We came here on his back And we caught your eye     The salty ocean wind Made the seagulls cry     The rocking of his house Had me holding on      But I knew that I was safe From there on out     [Instrumental] - - - - / [Verse] The waves that hit his face Marked the past    And the farrows on his skin Oh how time goes fast [Chorus] And we are far far from home But we’re so happy Far from home all alone But we’re so happy      - - - - / [Verse] After every sunny day Came a stormy night   That’s when finner would say Keep your heads held high [Chorus] And we are far far from home But we’re so happy Far from home all alone But we’re so happy [Instrumental] - - - - / [Chorus] And we are far far from home But we’re so happy Far from home all alone But we’re so happy      [Outro] - - - - / 6.

Song: Six Weeks Capo 4 [Intro] [Verse 1] Slow slow me down Her blood on my bones. Let go lay to rest. We fall we fall we fall We fall to the ground.                   Sleep sleep all night While the young they wait alone. So get up shake the rust. We crawl we crawl we crawl We crawl on the ground. [Chorus] Alone I fight these animals. Alone until I get home.        [Verse 2] A wolf wolf and I We share the same cold meal. I float on float on down. We ride we ride we ride We ride it all out. We ride we ride we ride We ride it all Ride we ride we ride We ride it all Ride we ride we ride We ride it all out. [Chorus] (Guitar doesn’t really start till 3rd time through this chorus but you can play the chords throughout if you want) Alone I fight these animals. Alone until I get home. (4x) [Hook] Coming back I’m coming back. Coming back I’m coming back. She follows me into the woods Takes me home She follows me into the woods Takes me home Coming back I’m coming back. Coming back I’m coming back. She follows me into the woods Takes me home (3x) [Outro]             8. Song:  Love Love Love Capo 7 [Intro]          (x4) [Verse] Well maybe I’m a crook for stealing your heart away And maybe I’m a crook for not caring for it Yeah maybe I’m a bad bad bad bad person       Well baby I know And these fingertips will never run through your skin And those bright blue eyes can only meet mine across a room filled with people that are less important than you [Chorus] Because you love love love when you know I can’t love You love love love when you know I can’t love You love love love when you know I can’t love you..    [Instrumental]          (x4) [Verse] So I think it’s best we both forget before we dwell on it The way you held me so tight all through the night Till it was near morning [Chorus] (x2) Because you love love love when you know I can’t love You love love love when you know I can’t love You love love love when you know I can’t love you      [Outro]          (x7) 9. Song: Your Bones Capo 3 [Verse 1] In the spring we made a boat Out of feathers out of bones. We set fire to our homes Walking barefoot in the snow. Distant rhythm of the drum As we drifted towards the storm. Baby lion lost his teeth Now they’re swimming in the sea. Troubled spirits on my chest Where they laid to rest. The birds all left my tall friend As your body hit the sand. Million stars up in the sky Formed a tigers eye That looked down on my face Out of time and out of place. [Chorus] So hold on Hold on to what we are Hold on to your heart. [Verse 2] Awaken by the sound           Of a screaming owl. Chasing leafs in the wind Going where we’ve never been.   Said goodbye to you my friend    As the fire spread.           All that’s left are your bones That will soon sink like stones [Chorus] So hold on Hold on to what we are Hold on to your heart. [Instrumental] (same as verse) [Hook/Outro] So hold on Hold on to your heart. 10. Song: Sloom Capo 1 [Intro] [Verse 1] The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn’t notice The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me [Verse 2] The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little nightmare of yours To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget and be the better man to be a better man to be a better man So love me mother and love me father and love my sister as well [Verse 3] The cat’s silhouette as big as a monster In this concrete jungle with street lights hanging their heads So make all your last demands for I will forsake you and I’ll meet your eyes for the very first time for the very last [Chorus] So love me mother and love me father and love my sister as well So love me mother and love me father and love my brother as well So love me mother and love me father and love my sister as well So love me mother and love me father and love my brother as well [Outro] I met a man today and he smiled back at me Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet                    C (let ring) that keep me on my feet 11. Song: Lakehouse [Intro] G - C (repeat it several times) [Verse] Oh I miss the comfort of this house. Where we are where we are Where we are where we are. The floor under our feet whispers out: ’Come on in come on in              C (let ring) where it all begins.’ [Chorus 1] Can you chase this fire away? Can you chase this fire away? We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes But she ran down she ran down She ran down to the house. A fox that gains our trust but then breaks it as he walks away from us away from us. [Chorus 2] Can you chase this fire away? Can you chase this fire away? In the fall we sleep all day. In the fall we sleep all day. Where we are where we are. Where we are where we are. [Chorus 3] Can you chase this fire away? Can you chase this fire away? In the fall we sleep all day. In the fall we sleep all day. [Outro] - - 12. Song: Yellow Light Capo on 2nd fret [Verse] I’m looking for a place to start but everything feels so different now. Just grab a hold of my hand I will lead you through this wonderland. Water up to my knees but sharks are swimming in the sea. Just follow my yellow light and ignore all those big warning signs.
