This is the whole album, taken from other tabs on this site, I corrected some of the lyrics, and chords as well. I'm sure there are mistakes though, so please correct me. ---------------------------------------------- OH SISTER G Oh sister, don't be afraid of me I won't be nailing you down in the nursery C Just like the rest of them did With those watery, wandering fingers of spit G C G That were supposed to be glorious and fine G Oh sister, won't you believe in me I only wanted to be hard on the family C Here with you now in this zillionth infirmary A mother makes frantic and drunk calls from Germany G C G All of the time G Oh sister, sweet brown and beulahry milk from your blisters on your grandmother's jewelry C there in the parlor all naked in front of me G C G Watching the lights from the cracks making archery animal designs Em C Rose Wallace Goldeline just moves her mouth over anything G D Thats fleshy free and flowering like oranges out in the open Em But don't you waste your sins again C She don't need you or won't fuck your friends G D And you, you're American, self important boiling over Em To prove that she must still exist C she moves herself about her fist G and wont ever never give a shit D about all those words you're wasting again Em C G Some pretty bright and bubbly wondrous dream D You'd like to kill and clean And claim her as your own Em But don't you worry C G D All those dainty and dirty emotions just go away and fade out on their own G Sister, now that you're leaving Our fingers will falter Our lungs will be leaking C All over each other and without even speaking We'll know that it's over and smiling or greeting G C G Whatever comes next G And oh sister You're getting married with some angry twister C That you'll have to carry home drunk every evening from the cemetery And if he makes it back half alive you can bury him G C G Under your sheets G And oh sister now that you're greaving I can not imagine there is any meaning C forgetting you ever could once had the feeling that made you keep on G C G and pretend you were breathing of all of this world and in an age of empty rings D C I don't want to feel the thing G C G I don't even want to know D Rose Wallace Goldeline C don't you ever die on me G don't you own the way you go ---------------------------------------------- FERRIS WHEEL ON FIRE (Thanks to MoonFace) Both barre chords. Barre F on the first fret and G on the third. The F-G pattern continues through all verses. F Well now first of all G We became what we always had feared F Every engine holds G All their oils on fire appeared F They finally broke through G And on your shoulder F This weight has been placed upon you G And everything we ever learned F But now I'm keeping still G In someone's bright carnival ride F All the crowd just cheers G As the bolts break and metal collides F Spiraling through G And flying up over the hills F And now everything's broken in two G And everything we ever would F But now most of all G I am holding you under my skin F Watch these buildings fall G Watch as each weak resistance caves in F G All over you, all over F And now finally fading from view G Is everything we ever knew Repeat F and G throughout the last part. ---------------------------------------------- HOME (Thanks to Thewheeman) E C G x2 E Hold C G E Well you can hold your hands together all you please C G E Won't erase those tender tidings you endured C G E You were just another family member on their knees C G D Just a social work statistic out the door C G D They beat against the tender sidings of your soul C G D With all those pretty little hammers of control C G D And where they are tonight well you will never know C G E But I swear that I will find them now C G E C G E More C G E Its more than just a simple question of decay C G E More than all those fists that beat into your door C G E It's more than all the shrinks that told you you’re okay C G D It's more than anything that I have waited for C G D They beat against the tender sidings of your soul C G D With all those pretty little hammers of control C G D And if they even can remember I don't know C G E But I swear that they'll remember now C G E C G E C G x4 E Home C G E It's just another word you'll always push away C G E Just a memory you wear outside your clothes C G E And it will burn down into cinders and some day C G D They will burrow down to their parental holes C G D They beat against the tender sidings of your soul C G D With all those pretty little hammers of control C G D And if they've ever paid a price well I don't know C G E But I swear that they will pay one now ---------------------------------------------- APRIL 8th (Thanks to liamf) e|---------------------------------| B|---------------------------------| G|-----0-------0-------0-------0---| D|---6---0---4---0---2---2---4---4-| A|-7-------5-------3-------5-------| E|---------------------------------| Just strum E at the end Lyrics: Crawl across toward your window I'm calling softly from the street Always a lonely widow Half awake and sleeping on my feet I'm of age but have no children No quarter phone booth calls to home Just late night television Inside my bedroom all alone There is no use in waiting Offer up your steps so I can climb Show me all your figure paintings Etched in the middle of the night Let me stretch upon your carpet Let me hear the rain tap on your street Knowing I am safe on the inside (Strum E Here) Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep ---------------------------------------------- I WILL BURY YOU IN TIME (Thanks to UtBDan) I'll get around to putting the chords over the lyrics soon, i'm just trying to get all of them in one place right now.
