Oriental Rug
Oriental Rug
INTRO (instrumental)
F#-minor / B / F#-minor / B A
VERSE 1
F#-minor / A / D A / E
Pretty pattern painted on it. When I’m feeling weary there’s a place that I can go
F#-minor /A /D /E
Put your bare feet there upon it. Put your body down on a paradise of thread
CHORUS
F#-minor A / F#-minor A
I’d walk a mile for a camel, I’d tip my hat for a jug
E / D //(BACK TO INTRO)
But I don’t go for any o’ that stuff just as long as I got you here on my Oriental rug
VERSE 2
F#-minor / A / D A / E
Once I was a lonesome drifter. I couldn’t keep you happy and I couldn’t bring you home.
F#-minor /A /D /E
‘Til you saw my fuzzy carpet and you laid you down, like it was your very own
CHORUS
BRIDGE
F#-minor / F-#minor A / F-#minor /F-#minor A // 4x
You may think I’ll never get it
You may think I’m crazy and I’ll always be alone
But I’m a needle, or I’ll thread it
And I’ll reap just what I sew. What’s above is down below
CHORUS
INTRO as OUTRO

Wine In A Mug
Wine In a Mug
E A E A E A E
If you didn’t build it then it might not stay (it might not stay, you know it might not stay)
If you didn’t build it they can take it away (take it away, you know they’ll take it away)
A7
You know you have to want it or it might just lead you astray
CHORUS
E c#min A
I drink wine from a mug now.
E c#min A
Can’t get a grip when it’s in a bottle somehow.
E c#min A
Wine from a mug now
E A-A E
E A E
If she didn’t love me then I might not care (instrumental instead of vocal repeat)
If she was just pretending, what was I doing there?
A7
I told her to convince me and she gave me such a terrible stare.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
A
You never gonna get another chance now
The carousel don’t do another dance now
It goes around once
It goes around twice
The music stops, the pony drops
B
No, no! No, no! No, no!
E A E A E A E
I never understood the things she did not say (did not say, you know she did not say)
I never could connect the dots that washed away. (washed away, you know they washed away)
A
My cup is overflowing and I think the bill is hell to pay

The Way Things Were
The Way Things Were
A EE E/D
The way things were no inquisition no jealousy
The way things were no suspicion uncertainty
The way things were no lonely days no sleepless nights
The way things were no power plays no vicious fights
A A/C# D
What would you do to get back to the love you had before?
CHORUS
E
You shower her with all your charms and affection
E E
That doesn’t matter. You’re facing in the wrong direction.
D D/E
You’re not sleeping with her <break!>
A
You’re sleeping with the way things were. Shadoobee bop bop.
G D A
The way things were. Shadoobee bop bop.
The way things were. Shadoobee bop bop.
The way things were. Shadoobee bop bop.
A E E E/D
The way things were you used to know now you just wonder
The way things were you see the light Don’t hear no thunder
The way things were you feel the heat Don’t see the sun
The way things were you hear the rumors From every one
A A/C# D
What would you do to get back to the love you had before?
CHORUS
A A/C# D B7/D#
What would you do to get back to the love you had before? Ooo ooo ooo!

Jealous of Your Dreams
Jealous of Your Dreams
D E D E
A kite will still fly with a tangled string
D E D D
A bird is still a bird with a broken wing
e- D e- e-
But a space without walls doesn’t mean a thing
G A G A
Some things are so broken they cease to be
C A G
Let in so much light that there’s nothing to see
e- E
You without me Don’t you know what I mean?
CHORUS
G A D
Jealous of your dreams, ‘cause I ain’t in ‘em
G A D
Jealous of the games you play, ‘cause I can’t win ‘em
G A D
Jealous of the things you want, I can’t begin ‘em
G E
Jealous of your dreams
D E D E
A man will still walk with a broken heart
D E D D
He’ll carry on with the other parts
e- D e- e-
But a man without a dream doesn’t feel a thing
G A G A
He won’t feel the cuts upon his feet
C A G
Let out so much blood let in the street
e- E
Oh, oh Don’t you know what I mean?
CHORUS
BRIDGE
G D
Find the place that’s/ farthest from me
D A A
That’s where I should / go
e- e-

Lyrics
21st Century Winter
Twenty First Century Winter
Warm, lord it’s warm, shouldn’t be so fair
Lookin’ for dark clouds, don’t see any there
I’m not appeased. It’s the time of year
Cold and darkness ought to reappear.
CHORUS
What do you do when your world ain’t right
Dark in the day and it’s brighter at night
What do you do when your lady fair
Turnin to gentlemen everywhere
Pay no mind to the call of the hound
Everybody’s runnin’ as fast as they can
Nowhere to go, nowhere to stand
Twenty-first century winter comes around
Twenty-first century winter comes around
Sad, lord it’s sad, cause it’s like a dream
Where everything isn’t as bad as it seems
When what’s goin’ on is a cryin’ shame
The devil parades under a different name
Run just as fast as your feet will fly
Weep like a baby to a lullabye
You won’t escape, sugar, you can’t hide
Warm rush of water from a changing tide
