"NIGHTSWIMMING"
Intro....
G B(note)->C
G B(note)->D
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night...
G B(note)->C D
G B(note)->C A C D
(over and over again for the whole song... the two lines above are played
for each line)
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago
Turn around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse
Still It's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
i'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
The recklessness in water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replaced by every day
Nightswimming remembering that night
September's coming soon
i'm pining for the moon
and what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun
A bright type could never drawn
could not describe, Nightswimming
You I thought I knew you, you I cannot judge,
you I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly, underneath my breath
Nightswimming
The photograph reflects every streetlight a reminder
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night

I don't like what happened to your sister
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)
Dm Am
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
Dm Am
The monkey end the plywood violin
Dm Am
I practiced every night and now I'm ready
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
Remember me, I used to live for music
Dm Am
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Dm Am
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

"Arms Of Love" (Robin Hitchcock) [B-Side to "Man on the Moon"]

G C G C G
(intro, same as first sung line)
G C G C G
Maybe tonight you're achin'
G F C C
For someone you're dreamin' of
D D C C
Tomorrow you'll be wakin Into the
D D/G* C C
Arms, into the arms of Love
(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.)
Maybe tonight you're cryin
Like a poor wounded dove
Tell me you'll soon be flying
Into the Arms, into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're takin
You couldn't get enough
Honey you'll soon be wakin'
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
[Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung
verse.]
Maybe the world is falling
It wasn't strong enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawling
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
(repeat to end)

"FRETLESS"
He's got his work, and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son,
The dye has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double locked gun
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no ? kept
Take it, stomp twice, ring bell
Tether that ringing, freeze
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate,
And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no ? kept
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease,
Don't threaten me with angry
Please please please don't try to tell me what I am
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no ? except
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone....
Ends on Em.
