A Sort of Homecoming
--------------------
Intro G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2 G6 D2
And you know it's time to go
G6 D2
through the sleet and driving snow
G6 D2
across the fields of mourning to a
G6
light's in the distance
D2 G6 D4 D2
And you hunger for the time
time to heal, 'Desire', time
and your earth moves beneath
your own dream landscape
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D Gii
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run________
G G2 G G2
I'll be there, I'll be there
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight, a high road, a high road out of here
the city walls are all come down
the dust a smoke screen all around to see
faces ploughed like fields that once
gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
on the side of a hill as the valleys explode
dislocated, suffocated
the land grows weary of it's own
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I hmm hmm
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, o come away, o come, o come away I say I
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D G
Oh, ho, ho on borderland we run, and still we run, we run and don't look back
G G2 G G2 D2 D4 D D4
I'll be there, I'll be there tonight tonight tonight
C7
I'll be there tonight, I believe. I'll be there so high (land),
D D2 G6 D2
I'll be there tonight, tonight____________
G6 D2 G6 D2
O come away, I sing I say, um ha, o come away oh say.
G6 D2 G6 D2
G6
The wind will crack in wintertime
D2 G6
this bomb-blast lightning waltz
D2 G6 D2 G6 D4 D G G2 G G2
no spoken words, just a scream . . . yeah.... oh........ oh.....
D2 D4 D Gii
tonight we'll build a bridge across the sea and land
G G2
see the sky burning rain
G G2 D2 D4 D Gii G6 D2 G6 D4 D G6 D2 G6 D4 D
she will die and live again tonight_______
And you heart beats so slow
through the rain and fallen snow
across the fields of morning
to a light that's in the distance
Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
for tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

Pride (In the name of love) [Capo on 1st fret]
Intro chords A A G Em
A D
One man come in the name of love,
G Em
One man come and go.
A D
One come here to justify,
G Em
One man to overthrow,
A D
In the name of love,
G Em
What more in the name of love.
One man crawled on a barbed wire fence,
One man he resist.
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.

Dug from the night, your eyes as black as coal
C Eb
Walk on by, walk on through, walk till you run
Bb Dm Bb
And don't look back, for here, I am
Dm Bb Dm
Carnival, the wheels fly and the colors spin, through alcohol

Red wine that punctures the skin
Dm Bb F
Face to face, in a dry and waterless place
C Eb Bb
Walk on by, walk on thorugh, so sad to besiege your love so head on
F C
Stay tonight, stay tonight in a lie

A Dm
Come on take me home, home again
Instrumental
Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb Gm A
(Now I'm at the part where the violins repeat the chords three times,
sounding like "da-Da-DA")
Dm Dm Dm (strike three times and accent each with the third the hardest)
"da-Da-DA"
Bb Bb Bb
"da-Da-DA"
Dm Dm Dm
"da-Da-DA"

And if the mountain should crumble, or disappear into the sea

Not a tear nor not I, stay in this time

Ever after, there's love in time
F C
And if you save it all, save your love
Gm A Dm
Don't push me too far, don't push me too far, tonight, tonight
******************************************************************
Promenade
C F-C
Earth, sky, sea, and rain
F-C
Here she comes back again.
F-C
Men stroll, sneak the hall
F-C
Words that build or destroy.
F C F-C
Dirt dry bones and stones.
C F-C
Barbed wire fence cut me down,
I'd like to be around.
In a spiral staircase
Am G
to the higher ground.
Am G
And I like a firewall and explode.
F C
Roman candlelightning lights up the sky.
In cracked streets, trample underfoot
Sidestep, sidewalk.
I see you stare into space.
Have I gotten closer now,
behind the face.
Tell me, will you dance with me,
and turn me around tonight.
Up though the spiral staircase to the higher ground.
See slide show, see side town,
coca-cola, football, radio radio radio . . .

Bruised silken skies and burning flag.

Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo Hoo, hoo.
A D
If I could, you know I would.
If I could, I would let it go.
This desparation.

Desolation.
Let it go,
And so to fade away.
To let it go,
And so fade away.

I'm not sleeping.
