Across the Road Words and Music by Dan Klock

D7 Across the road, across the road Gotta find another set of clothes G D7 One that fits my stoney ways G D7 One that shines both night and day E A D7 Gotta make my home across the road

Two bit shanty and a broken down track One breaks the air and the other breaks your back Wind blows on onward the draft blows you back To the two bit shanty and that broken down shack Gotta make my home across the road

I got hustled out a hundred bucks Took a few times until I learned the ropes One last shot as I cracked my bank Gotta double my dimes, gonna load my dice Gotta make my home across the road

Alley Cat Man Words and music by Gina Riggio

Dm C Cardboard sign G Standing by the side the road Dm C Will work for food G It says as the line of cars slows

Though a traffic jam / Is where this broken road has lead It ain’t as bad / As one inside his head got more opinions / than change clinking in my cup get a job he screamed / then he rolled his window up once I had a face / But that was in another life before this slippery slope / Decided which way I would slide before this slippery slope / Decided which way I would slide

Dm F G Alley cat man, Living out, Living out a life on the edge Dm F A Scraping bottom But he ain’t too proud, No he ain’t too proud to beg Dm F G Alley cat living, Toes clinging to the tip of the fence Dm F A Got a hole in my pocket But I don’t need your, Don’t need your two cents

Imaginary lines / People drawing in the sand Dividing off the masses / Into neat little packages No one really chooses / Taking things for free You just end up here somehow / When you gotta eat Seeing as how / Both of us are here One of us a human / The other one a deer I’d say don’t shoot / but it wouldn’t make a sound so I make you feel a little uneasy / When you, when you turn me down so I make you feel a little uneasy / When you, when you turn me down

CHORUS

So you say that I / Could probably pull myself Up by my bootstraps / The way this land was built But the foundation / Is shaking and a rattling round So this broken system has / Nowhere to go but down So this broken system has / Nowhere to go but down

CHORUS

All The Way Home Words and music by Spinal Tap

D7 Well I’m sittin’ down beside the railroad tracks A And I’m waiting for that train to bring her back D7 G7 If she ain’t on that 519, I’m gonna know what sorrow means D7 A D7 I’m gonna cry, cry, cry all the way home.

CHORUS G D7 All the way Home, all the way home A D7 I’m gonna cry, cry, cry all the way home.

Her daddy didn’t like me, this he said He could not get it through his old gray head That I loved his daughter so, could not stand to see her go I’m gonna cry, cry, cry all the way home

CHORUS

Extra verses by Dan Klock:

Well I’m wishing for that midnight whistle moan To sing to me that long lonesome song But that train ain’t comin by, faded off in the midnight sky I’m gonna cry, cry, cry all the way home

CHORUS

Another day done came and blew away If I close my eyes I can still see her face If tomorrow comes and goes and I’m still waiting at the old crossroads I’m gonna cry, cry, cry all the way home

CHORUS

All We Need Words and music by Dan Klock

C Didn’t want to have to write a song F Of how I should just move on C Didn’t want to have to walk away D7 G Knowing that your love wasn’t meant for me

I still go crazy for your love Still feel the same as I ever thought Laying on the whistle while you hold the key Let me tell you mama just let it ring

C F C F All We Need – All We Need C F G C All we need is a double shot of love and a melody

Woke up in the morning you were on my mind Swear I could see that we were getting by Rollin’ neath the covers from scene to scene Tangled in a web called the lover’s dream

Burning with the love that the food Lord made Still light a candle each and every day Baby let me hold you while the fire grows Let me tell you woman you’re the only one

All we need…

Never thought I’d ever howl the blues Or play a gentle song like a love struck fool Takes it from me, won’t you give it a try I’ll sing to you honey till the day I die

All we need…

Allegra Words and music by Dan Klock

A Hold on a minute, don’t get so uptight Settle down easy mama, it seems we’ve got all night D There’s nothing round here to be bought, there’s nothing here to sell A One turns the handle while the other posts the bail

B D A Allegra my darlin’, shining high on the mound B D A We’ve all come to see you, gonna tear this jailhouse down

Stoned by the bushel, grass on the rise June bug dancin’ fiddle plays eleven on the side Loose in the stable with your hair flying free Queen bee says to the two love birds “Would you care to make it three?”

Allegra my darlin’ shining high on the mound We’ve all come to see you, throw around that lovin’ smile

Carrying a beam of light let it shine above the keys Flowing like a waterfall on the evening canopy Shaken down the village or dancing in the street What’s mine is yours, what’s yours is hers and no one plays for keeps.

Allegra my darlin’, shining high on the mound We’ve all come to see you – all we’ve lost has now been found

Aries Words and music by Dan Klock

Am Baby, baby, baby I’ll treat you right G Take you dancing on Saturday Night F G Am Sunday Comes, I’ll make you breakfast in bed

I’d take you to my fishin’ hole, bait your line, and even cast your pole Honey, relax. Let me do the rowin’

I see ya baby and my legs go numb, I’d crawl to ya honey just open up So I can take you walkin’ when the sun comes up

C G Am C G Am Time to let it shine, Time to share the wine

I’d bet in Vegas You’d beat the odds, trump the Ace, and win the car Plates would read, “baby, you’re the queen of hearts.”

I’d plant a seed in the desert sand, water that seed twice a day by hand Plant your dreams all over this land

Time to let it shine, time to share the wine

I wanna sew you a dress so sweet, and watch it flow in the summer breeze Rollin’ along in harmony

As the leaves change so gracefully, as the autumn moon takes your breath away As the singer sings and the players play, a tune that bears your name

Time to let it shine, time to share the wine

As the Day Slips Between Words and music by Dan Klock

A E Toss and turn on a crescent moon D A Gazing down beneath A E Oh my stars what a peaceful sight D A As it steals the air I breathe

Notice a boat drifting from the shore Through the raging waves Carrying a load of broken vows As the day slips between

A E There ain’t no jewels at the end of the line D Can’t take your gold with you when you die D A E Ain’t got time to roll on by Bm D Bm A You gotta empty your cup while you still got time

Way down down the shattered road Is a fiddle ringing true It ain’t made of golden strings Nor the finest wood

She can sing and she sure can dance As she glides along the keys Evening mistress in a morning dress I’m gonna marry her someday

Shooting stars up above my head If I made a wish, well this would be it Heard a wise man whisper son don’t quit If I raised you right then you won’t give in

Ashes in my Glass Words and music by Dan Klock

Em I found 552 reasons, I need 448 more On why I need a woman that wants to throw me to the floor Am Em I have grass stains on my pillow, and ashes in my glass Am B7 I got a five string broken guitar singin’ “Get out of here, fast!”

C G Am Em On and on, the wheels keep goin’ round C G Am B7 Round and round as the world is spinning still C G Am Em On we go, as the seasons take their roll C G Am B7 On our own, on down the open road

Black cat in the passin’ lane Greyhound out in front Flashin lights shining down on me Gotta get the hell out of dodge

Crack of lightening lit the sky Thunder shook the trees I got an engine filled with one last crime Like an outlaw blessed with wings

CHORUS

String quartet on Main Street Tin can full of coins Living out fame and fortune On a corner in south Detroit

With a midnight tone as pure as gold Wine as sweet as sage They’re taking that song for one last ride And they’ll never come back the same

CHORUS

Back Upstream Words and music by Dan Klock

C Am C Am Racing waves, on your back you float C Am C Am Passin’ green grass and river roots C An C Am Sooner or later you’ll be passin’ through C Am C Am C Am Hear you getting closer by the jingle of your boots

Em Am But the babbling river’s gonna rock me to sleep C G Gonna carry all my troubles back upstream Am C Lead me to the water when the well runs dry G Am Lead all my travels to paradise

Steady pace, guiding light Those good old days and sleepless nights Believing in song and a hand or two Some days the lanes open and some days they’re closed for good

But the babbling river gonna rock me to sleep Gonna carry all my troubles back up stream Lead me to the water when the well runs dry Lead all my troubles to paradise

Racing waves, on your back you float Passin’ green grass and river roots Sooner or later you’ll be passin’ through Hear you getting closer by the jingle of your boots

But the babbling river gonna rock me to sleep Gonna carry all my troubles back up stream Lead me to the water when the well runs dry Lead all my troubles to paradise

Be Cool Words and music by Gina Riggio

A D E G Let me tell ya bout the other shoe landing on my head even when I want to A D E G Get peace of mind cause it’s my calling to live my life not thinking that the sky is falling D E G Can’t step on cracks, Don’t wanna break my mother’s back D E G I renovate my mind so often, You’d think that my bad luck wouldn’t be this common

CHORUS D A C G I get excited when I think for a while that everything is gonna stay the same D A C G I go blind with my big stupid grin as I walk right into the flames D A C G I’m so tired of being in the fool, It would be so nice to sit and relax D A C G Put too much pressure on myself to be cool, I gotta get this monkey off of my back

Keep the chatter going while I’m holding my breath, cause you never know when I might be staring down death – When it comes, well, I’d better look hopeful, cause I had no religion on account of being doubtful. - Broken mirrors, Salt on my shoulder, Now it’s here, the rolling boulder -- That I guess is the moment of truth, all resistance is useless…

CHORUS

BRIDGE D Em G Tell me now what’s next on the list, Is there some karmic feedback left I have missed D Em G One hit from crazy, 2 ft from the ledge, that’s why it always seems like I’m on edge

CHORUS

JAM ON CHORUS CHORDS

If I have to be in pain, sustain my brain against the tension. I guess necessity is the mother of invention - Tried to catch a patch of cloud and found it’s silver lining A little bit of light to guide me while I’m in hiding - I’ll break down walls, and while I drop them - I’ll break my fall, with something soft then I won’t have to face the unpleasant side Of the mess that I have made

CHORUS

Beautiful People Words and music by Gina Riggio

Verse 1: Ab Cm Eb Bb It was a dark and stormy night although the sun was right outside & I’m stilling hiding in my overcoat If I had the recipe for peace of mind, then I’d be sure to write it down in my notes I still haven’t found the dose but, God, I know I’m close it’s a simple combination and the hour of its creation is still hiding underneath my nose

CHORUS Cm Ab Eb Bb I/Just want to fly high tonight Db Ab I want to be high on life Bb Cm I want to get back to why we’re here Ab Bb Eb Bb Beautiful people, shed no tears.

Verse 2 Ab Cm Eb Bb Turning through the pages as an ocean in me rages but anticipating my next move pushing on my heart so it will recognize the trigger and now all I have to do is pull even if its face would show How am I supposed to know? They say the big discoveries really don’t come easily since at the time your head is full

BRIDGE Db Eb Ab Ab7 Is it a drop in the bucket or just enough to play the fool? Db Db/Eb and erase all the lessons even if you think the blame’s on you?

Verse 3 Ab Cm Eb Bb The rain is coming down again like curtains on the stage before I move my hand to raise a glass to all of the forgotten deeds that scattered all the ugly seeds among the blossoms of my past The envelope is fat but nothing’s hit me yet The answer’s never in the first one hundred places that you look, it always ends up in the last.

Broken Glass Words and music by Jacob Haqq-Misra

Boxcar Runner Words and music by Gina Riggio

D F#m C G Pennies in the fountain Change with a similar fate D F#m C G Couple cents for your thoughts When it don’t make sense to wait D F#m C G Facing the crime while they draw fuzzy lines Between wrong and right D F#m C G But if they don’t understand and you’re tellin yourself that you gotta sit tight

A E D B Just when you thought you had a way, taking your time, smelling the roses for a change A E D B A-G-A-G You want to run today, well give it some time, put your nose to the grind, you’ll be free someday

Making plans for the summer, Leaving all the demons behind Never thought this could happen, And now I’m saying goodbye The people we’ve lost That we’ll always remember How soon we forget It’s not the pain that we’re after But the hole that it fills when we’re Caught in a twist

Just when you thought you had a way Taking your time, smelling the roses for a change Wishing that she was still here today But if she saw you now I know she’d say you’re just fine And you’ll be free someday

D C G D Lucky is a train ride, people on the side lines, sand in the hour glass. Free as many hands as we can from the man even though I’m not riding first class On the freight line swinging my legs in time with the rhythm of the wooden track Box car runner come to take me away so I never ever have to go back

He gave me the world ‘n I was young so I bit On the bate he would offer What else could I do but secretly wish He was a little bit softer Now a piece of him stares at me With her blue eyes, I hope she never knows All the pain that he caused me, I hope I can Show her to love as she grows

Just when you thought you had it made. You put in your time, didn’t know that someday it would change Every time I lose my place I find it again, because I ain’t giving in. I’ll be free someday

Wake up at dawn thought the sun was still up But it was only my head Punching the clock, guess I do what I got to do to get me ahead Took the chances I wanted Because I wanted to live Not ashamed of it now because of who I’ve become if I had to do it again

Just when you thought you had a way. Taking your time, thinking something’s finally gonna change Working so that you can own your days And use em to try to be a man with a mind. And be free someday

D C G D Lucky is a train ride, people on the side lines, sand in the hour glass. Free as many hands as we can from the man even though I’m not riding first class On the freight line swinging my legs in time with the rhythm of the wooden track Box car runner come to take me away so I never ever have to go back

Busted for Nothin’ Words and music by Gina Riggio

Bb I’m the odd one out and I can’t win Pullin’ off the highway at the 3am Eb Gotta find my way before I run outta time Bb Cause the red and blue lights aren’t far behind

CHORUS: Eb I’ve always been good, I never took no chances Bb And now I’m a victim of circumstance, yeah F Eb Bb I got busted for nothin’ again.

I could be the decoy that you need To get away with something that you shouldn’t be Cause even when I’m minding my own business I must do something that looks suspicious

CHORUS

Well, it looks like I got a case to crack For why there’s a bullseye on my back Is it when I’m sober that I drive like a drunk Or just the tie-dyed sticker that’s on my trunk

CHORUS

Take your power trip off overdrive Cause officer, I’ve got nothing to hide Being this bored should be against the law So go bother somebody doing something wrong

CHORUS

Carry Them Around Words and music by Gina Riggio

Gm Creep in through the cellar doors To the basement of my mind Dm Some skeletons are in there, Where they’ve been a long long time Gm Bits of sentences that had been spoken long ago Dm Rattle around the inside of my skull when I’m alone

Bb C Am Dm And I can’t seem to forget, Although it would be good to be Bb C A7 Better than the words you used when disrespecting me

CHORUS Gm Bb I can’t carry them around, I just can’t carry them around C These chains that weigh me down Dm I just can’t carry them around

If you knew me once at fifteen and again at thirty five You’ll know that life has weathered me like stone against the time The gears that keep on turning of the clock that won’t rewind Some of them are rusted and it’s messing with my mind

And I can’t seem to forget, but it would be good for me To take away the tie and gag and finally be free

CHORUS

Jam: Gm  Dm

Why is it so hard to forget about the past? What do we know when we are young that has a chance to last? Before you go and criticize be wise to hold your tongue No lie when old men say that youth is wasted on the young

I can’t seem to remember just when it was I was But since then I became and now I’m letting go because….

Chateau in the Shade Words and music by Dan Klock

C G Sittin on a loveseat without my gal, man you know I gotta roll C G She left me high about an hour ago, moving like a rolling stone F C G C Staring out the window is a two bit town, everyone is going broke F C Gathered all my change and went the other way G C Now I’m leaving this town for good

Sitting on a see-saw by myself, man ya know I gotta roll Didn’t take long to notice they were gone, truckin’ on down the road Whistlin’ Dixie was a sunshine band singing won’t ya’ll come along Ain’t quite sure about the shape I’m in, but I know I gotta ramble on

Oh my mama ya sure look fine, it’s a shame that I gotta roll Carry all I own in my guitar sack and there ain’t much room for more Looking for a needle poking from a stack is like looking for a rhyming song Waiting for a train that ain’t a coming back, now the road is staring me down

Smelling like a hippie on a two month run, Lord he was born to run Waiting for a rain cloud to wash my bones, lately I’ve been loving sun Found me a hole by the river’s bend and everyone was gathered there Thought I’d strip down and swim a little while then see where it goes from there

Runnin’ from the law with an illegal smile, Virginia wants me dead and gone Had to take a turn off the beaten trail, well I guess I’ll be slowing down Built me a Chateau in the Shade among the oak and the thorns People passing by would stop and stay, we had a party going on.

The third verse was taken out after a couple of shows.

Cry Me a River Words and music by Dan Klock

C Bb C Bb C C Bb C Bb C I climbed on board the southbound on a goodbye Saturday Made my way to ‘bama, Lord I had to get away Chimes of freedom shouting buddy ain’t no slowing down That lonesome locomotive gonna haul this poor boy off

CHORUS C Bb C Bb F G Cry me a river, make it long deep and wide Drown in tears of sorrow but I won’t lay down and die Cry me a river, somehow I gotta get by Floating by boat at sunset while watching my blues collide

(Am Pentatonic note ditty thing)

Changing lanes in Memphis made it halfway across the state Took a turn in Nashville but I could see I was out of place Kickin’ up dust and gravel with the ticket stub in my hand I swear on a stack of Bibles, I won’t go back there again

CHORUS

I met a roving gambler who stole from a diamond thief I met a piper playing on the streets of New Orleans I met a drunken beggar who was too damn stoned to beg I met a broken widow cryin’ Lord take me home someday

CHORUS

Crystal Bay Words and Music by Dan Klock

Bm C9 G Em C G-F-C-F-G Crystal Bay, casting colors, ocean waves, vast and deep Gradual breeze, shifting freely, wild bouquet and unrestrained Field of dreams, painted stories, sunset tales, desert plains Burning light, flashing ambers, smoke and flame, shall be released Spacious skies, dancing showers, wind and rain, sleet and snow Golden rays, silver linings, milky way, the great unknown

C F – C – F – G For all those times C F – C – F – G We’ve come together C F – C – F – G And all goodbyes C F – C – F – G But not forever

End: Bm – C – G – F – C – F – G

Down in the Mine Words and music by Dan Klock

A Down in the mine, black as coal Leave it all behind when they shouted gold E Just how much can one man take D A Better ask the other who took his place

Diggin’ up the ground, rollin’ in dirt Jump in the river to wash off the earth Snaggin’ up tuna in a wooden boat When no one is looking jump overboard

E Just how much can one make take D Better ask the other who took his place E Won’t be long he’ll be blowing by you D D7 A Shouting “Man, let me tell you bout the poor man’s blues.”

D If I would have listened to my papa in my early days A I would’ve taken his advice and learned how to play E A rhythm, a line, and a melody D D7 A About a working man’s song for a working man’s dream.

Dig me out a hole, make it six feet deep Gather in a circle, let the church bells ring Bury my boots with my old six string Ease me on down to the Grand Parade

Fire Dancin’ Maiden Words and music by Dan Klock

C# She’s a fire dancin’ maiden, her hair is hanging low She’s a child of the midnight hour, she’s got rhythm in her bones F# C# She was born of the earth and water. She’s a jester with a flute F# D# G# G#7 She can turn a one line melody into a symphony of tones

CHORUS F# C# She’s got a fire burning in the palm of her hand F# C# G# She’s leading from behind while dancing in the sand F# C# G# Shakin’ like a leaf on a crooked branch F# C# Soaking up the rhythm, she ain’t turning back

She’s a circle in the sunshine like a moonbeam shining high She can take you into outer space and then bring you back the sky She’s a gypsy on an endless trip with footprints smooth as glass She lays and dreams on a maple tree that has fallen in the grass

CHORUS

Her mama was a poet and her papa sang the blues She was bound to sing for supper, & then baby sing like there ain’t nothing to lose Making her way off the beaten trail on a kick down and a smile She don’t embrace the ordinary days, she lets her nights run wild

CHORUS

A song for our beautiful sisters.

Flow River Flow Words and music by Dan Klock

G (C-G) C (D-C) Hanging out on the banks of the river, sunshine going down G (C-G) F G Singing about that mighty river and how it rolls along Rolls along on it’s own free will, teaching me and you You can learn a lot about yourself if you spend some time with you

Singing C G Flow River Flow C G Down the banks of the Ohio C G As you roll, gypsy roll F G Keep that river flowing in your soul

Gust of spring blows by your nose, taste of sugar sweet Little blue bird on a big old branch to keep you company

Skipping stones like you did at five, ya never really knew When you grew up you’d still be skipping more than two

Singing

Flow River Flow Down the banks of the Ohio As you roll, gypsy roll Keep that river flowing in your soul

Instrumental Part: G ----- F ----- G ----- F repeating

Graceful as a baby’s hand, stubborn as a child Song as sweet as mother’s love and papa’s open arms Twenty-nine times it has been sung about how she rolls and flows Time has passed, her voice has changed but she still keeps rolling on

Singing Flow River Flow Down the banks of the Ohio As you roll, gypsy roll Keep that river flowing in your soul

Freak Flag Words and music by Gina Riggio

Bb Eb F7

People out on the dance floor About fifty rows deep and they won’t stop moving no no no nobody’s getting any sleep but that’s the way that they like it twirling and twistin to the beat it ain’t no club no the ceiling is the sky dirt underneath their bare feet

Hey, now take your time No need to make up any lines And if you’re putting on airs leave ‘em behind with your cares And let your freak flag fly

Fire dancers out in the grass Twirling those bright orange flames Old heads out there shaking their thing Their spirits have no age

It’s a colorful circus of a cartoon crazy Baby can’t take your eyes off the show And if the outside world caught a glimpse of the madness They’d never wanna go home

Hey, now take your time No need to make up any lines And if you’re putting on airs leave ‘em behind with your cares And let your freak flag fly

Instrumental Bridge (Time signature change) F#maj7 – C#maj7 – Ebm - Ab

There’s a little place where I go to hide It’s somewhere deep in the woods Just a beautiful space where I meet all my friends They say we’re up to no good

But I say it’s a matter of taste And well, it’s fine by me We may be dancing on the edge of the world But it’s where we go to be free

Gypsy Street Words and music by Dan Klock

A7 I stumbled in a mudhole, a little too deep for my boots D7 (3 measures) A7 I stumbled in a mudhole, a little too deep for my boots B7 D7 Climb up on the high ground, saying, “Man, what’s the use?”

A7 He paid for her a ticket, feeling like a pretty nice guy D7 (3 measures) A7 He paid for her ticket, feeling like the captain of her eye B7 D7 But her bases were all loaded, and home plate was cold and dry.

Stumble through the city, strumming songs on Gypsy Street Stumble through the city, strumming songs on Gyspy Street Ain’t seen no one round here since the day I learned to sing

Judge slams down the gavel, mutters, “Boy your ass is mine.” Judge slams down the gavel, mutters, “Boy your ass is mine.” Now the blues man plays the guitar like a man that’s doing life.

Swig of poison whiskey never could quite feed my head Swig of poison whiskey never could quite feed my head But a double dose of sunshine feels like fifty thousand friends

I often wake and wonder, do I got a one track mind? I often wake and wonder, do I got a one track mind? Am I chasing what I am, or chasing just what’s mine?

Standing on the corner with my backpack at my shoes Standing on the corner with my backpack on my shoes Some say he’s a bum these days. Others say, “Play me a tune.”

Gone Words and music by Gina Riggio

Verse pattern: Bb F Eb Chorus pattern: Bb Gm F Eb

Verse 1 The beat’s too fast, she can’t keep up The action swirls around her as she tries to run Attempts to speak, No words come up She lifts her knees, but her feet are stuck (La da da da da)x2

Verse 2 The tallest nail, Is pounded down Asking questions only met with disapproving frowns He sets a wave in motion for His descendants who are still clinging to the shore (La da da da da)x2

Chorus There’s a subtle beauty in a line that comes out wrong Power to the ones who keep on shuffling their feet along Let yourself be humbled by the ones who spin to their own song For what they leave behind might not be noticed till they’re gone, Gone, Gone

Verse 3 Brush and pencil, touching down on canvas white Painting shadows under shapes describe an artist’s plight It hangs alone on a wall just out of sight To be a star is to give off your own light (La da da da da)x2

CHORUS

Verse 4 Late at night, toiling away the candle wax Brilliant ideas, but his youth is met with critical attacks The seeds of change won’t be sown today For he must wait for the oldest talking heads to fade (La da da da da)x2

CHORUS

High Times Words and music by Dan Klock

Bm F#m Rhythm bell rang and it would not stop Bm G F# Came for a day but stayed for a month Bm Em Speaking of the high times and what has become G F# Never coming back or looking back down

Saving up my change to buy a straw hut Made a good living running from the law Thought I had a chance when I tried to go slow Choose the wrong side of the wrong damn road

Steady summer rain on a Monday afternoon Reflect upon the days as you’re chasing on through Shaking your head, ya made it out alive Countless miles and unbound highs

Shape of your voice and the tone of your skin Breath from your words that are thrown in the wind Turquoise Lady with long brown hair Eyes of the oceans never can compare

Rhythm bell rang and it would not stop Came for a day but stayed for a month Speaking of the high times and what has become Never coming back or looking back down

Hustlin’ Jones Words and Music by Dan Klock

E Hustlin Jones playing trips to win A Became a man when he was ten E B7 Mama prayed he’d ride that gospel plow

E At the stroke of four on an all night binge A Five alive on a smoke stained bench E B7 E Piano playin ragtime Cajun style

Two of hearts and a wild card stare, Dancing Queens always come in pairs Jonesy is as slick as a crocodile

Lit a match to a stubbed cigar, Lady luck from a blessed draw One jacks were sliding off the pile

Room was loose and stares were tense, Jones was calm as a second glance Reputation followed him to town

That he would bluff and not think twice, Nod to you with one black eye That’s right, partner, Papa taught me well.

Pot was stacked like a Georgia whore, Dawn was peakin’ through the swingin door Last call, boys, time to lay ‘em down

He slammed the cards down on the floor, Read ‘em and weep that ain’t no bluff Grabbed the cash and fired off a round

Jonesy rode with his brim down low, Through the town that he’d just won Saw a fine fair maiden struttin south

With a rebel smile and an outlaw grin, said “Come with me if you wanna win!” This town went bust and I’ve only just begun.

(He wins, doesn’t get killed, and gets the girl.)

I’ve Been Wandering Words and Music by Gina Riggio

Intro: (repeat a while) C Am Bb F C Bb F

C Am Bb F got a road worn smile, and it's gone a lot of miles C Bb F but everything I left behind is done C Am Bb F I've tied up all the loose ends, said goodbye to all of my friends C Bb F got to go now and it's been a real good run and maybe it was just a game and it's all supposed to sound the same I guess I must just get bored easily But flying out to space Is still a leap of faith It shows you only what your heart can see

C D I've been wandering this city by myself but I'm not lost F G C I changed my name and now I’m moving on C D If it’s wrong to go for broke then I don’t wanna be right F G C ‘cause this is what love sounds like

C Am Bb F C Bb F

In someone else's make up, looking for rooms to shake up can't help but feel a little out of place it's someone else's hair, but I know you know I'm in there recognizing all the clues that it's my face

I guess I'm just a person Trying to the better version Of myself with all the awkwardness inside Won’t let you in Between this costume and my skin I only feel me looking through these eyes

CHORUS

Bridge: Bb F maybe I'm too old to hope to see my name in lights C G and secure myself a place in history Bb F maybe I'm too plain and the world stage is much too bright C G I still hope that there's some room for me

Jam: C Am Bb F C Bb F

CHORUS Just One More Night Words and music by Dan Klock

G You’ve been sayin’ honey that I’m wasting my time Good love is so hard to find C G Just one more night - just one more night D C G If I can’t have you baby then give me just one more night.

Listen for the wedding bells to be my bride I heard you got a man on the side Just one more night – Just one more night If I can’t have you baby then give me just one more night

Wine by the fire and a belly full of bread I’d rather have you in my arms instead Just one more night – just one more night If I can’t have you baby then give me just one more night

You provide the rhythm and I’ll provide the rhyme We’ll dance to the tune that band provides Just one more night – just one more night If I can’t have you baby then give me just one more night Then it’s farewell, baby, and I’ll meet you on down the line

Ending: D C G – D – G

Long Way to Go Words and music by Dan Klock

C C7 If I were a taxi driver I would give the world the keys F C If I were a bus driver I would let you ride for free F C If I drove the mail train, I would bring it to your door C G C We got a long, long way to go

If I drove a pick-up truck, I’d haul your troubles off If I drove a semi-truck, every line I’d cross If I drove the getaway bus I’d drive like a bat out of hell We got a long, long way to go

If I owned a love bug, I’d name it after you I’d pick your favorite shade of paint and I’d cruise the avenue As we escape down lovers’ lane with your whole life ahead of you We got a long, long way to go

If I rode on a gospel plow, the garden I would roam If I road a stage coach, I’d ride those horses home If I make it to the promised land, I swear I’ll pray for all We got a long, long way to go

We got a long, long way to go.

We got a long, long way to go.

Last Call Words and music by Gina Riggio

(Bm F#m E repeating throughout)

Last door closes All that’s left downtown are empty store fronts and for lease signs Who will fill them? Who will fill them?

It’s almost last call I swear I’ve heard this song About a million times but I can’t Help but sing along They can’t help but sing along cause they don’t know that we’re too

CHORUS Too young to say goodbye Don’t you know that we’re too young to die I’m not ready to say goodbye Don’t you know that we’re too young to die

Late at night now It’s hard to find good friends these days it seems the phone will never ring No time for love No time left in life for simple things

The wind is blowing And nothing changes Except the time when something does Cause someone says that Being different’s not that hard and they must know that we’re too….

CHORUS

I climbed a mountain Yesterday in my free time And when I reached the top I checked to see If I had arrived But all I’d done was climb Making sense of the chatter from the heads on the End of the road and nowhere to go tube Gotta climb so high that you can’t see your toes It’s an illusion man and you’ll believe what they want The horizon line is so far from the naked eye you to But just over the edge is the beginning of the sky Turn it off block the signals coming at my head And maybe that’s what it means, just a dream that you The waves are making slaves of the ones who aren’t can see On your lap like a cat or the gnomes dancing on the sheets already dead Half-awake in the middle of a sin I’m afraid that this land that I love is in the bands of Afraid to take a breath when you don’t know what you’re the man breathing in Whose intentions only can corrupt The colors of sound may not mean a thing Set me free from the spin of the wheel Except the voices in my head and the songs that they sing Give me patience lord for the world to heal.

Maggie Words and music by Dan Klock

G D F C Done a lot of time on the backside of the mountain G F C Digging for gold, throwing seeds among the stones G D F C Praying to the sun to yield a new tomorrow G F C Singing to the clouds as they wash upon the ground

Travelin’ down to the mainline highway Billboards makin’ no sense at all Each turn takes you on a new beginning Sometimes the wheels, they don’t turn at all

Bb F C Can you make it one more night? Bb F C Can you, Maggie, one more mile?

Angel flees from an open doorway Out of bounds and living on the run But if livin for today is only what you make it Well, I heard before that tomorrow never comes

Can you make it one more night? Can you, Maggie, one more mile?

Good luck to the ones who keep on keepin on Farewell to those of you that don’t Those windy songs will always be a blowing And open arms will lead the way home

Maggie was the name of my camper. She was breaking down just outside of Philly while on Phil Tour. We had tickers for the next three shows and was just hoping Maggie would get us there. The “Angel flees” verse, however, is about Renee Boje. She fled to Canada while running from the DEA for growing pot. The chorus fits her as well. - Dan

Moonshine Love Words and music by Dan Klock

G You’ll whistle like the wind when she blows past Chase her down but she runs too fast Sleepin’ like a baby but with one eye shut She’s a top shelf woman, she was born to strut D Scent of Lilac, singing like a dove C G Throw it all together it’s just moonshine love

Perhaps one song she’ll be in your grasp She’ll be dancing down the isle when the last chord slaps She’ll give you a wink so long farewell By the time you say goodbye you’ll be waving to the crowd She floats like a butterfly, stings like a shot Throw it all together, it’s just moonshine love

C G Live and learn, you’ll die a wise man, Stubborn as a mule you’ll die in quicksand D C You don’t have to beg for the bell to ring, Love doesn’t knock and it doesn’t sting C G They say ya only get one time around, they say that only the good die young D Well, ya better make the most of it while ya can, C G If it ain’t got soul it’s just a moonshine dance

Drop a gold dollar in the wishing well, pray to the heavens to cast a spell See her in the garden, guarding her fruit That damn thing ain’t got no roots She may look sweet hanging on the vine But it’s moonshine love, so don’t waste your time

Some love diamonds silver and gold, work eight days a week and still be broke You’ll be chasin down bourbon with a shot of blues Ya never want to end up like that poor dude Sounds like a riddle, laugh while you can But with moonshine love, you don’t stand a chance

G If it ain’t got soul it’s just a moonshine dance…x 3

Medicine Show Words and music by Dan Klock

D What’s your name, baby what’s your sign A Tell me what I gotta do to make you mine G D Should I turn around, come home, settle on down G D Take you with me baby, let it all hang out G E Inch by inch, baby mile by mile

CHORUS: D G Good times are coming on fast D G Same as before, are they here at last D G High times, on the medicine show A It’s the only life I think I’ve ever known

Maroon dressed devil, satin, lace Handing you a bottle, hook, line, and bait

Born to temptation, cool as sin I’d pray to heaven, where do I begin? Look at me know, look at the shape I’m in

CHORUS

Winter came one afternoon Heard a king crying out the royal blues

If she’s a queen then I’m a fool Living in a castle made of ice and glue Summer came and away he flew

CHORUS

Mystery Train Words and music by Junior Parker

A E Train I ride – fifteen coaches long Train I ride – fifteen coaches long B7 The woman I’m in love with A7 E She’s on that train and gone

Train, train – rolling down, down the track Train, train – rolling down, down the track Took my baby, Lord ya know it ain’t bringing her back

Well, I went down to the station to meet my baby at the gate I asked the station master is that train running late He said “Son, if you’ve been waiting on the 444, I hate to tell ya boy, that train don’t come here anymore.”

Train, train – rolling down, down the track Train, train – rolling down, down the track Took my baby, Lord ya know it ain’t coming back

The story of our band name

“Mystery Train” is an old Junior Parker song from the 1930s.

Although many artists have covered this particular song it was the Jerry Garcia Band versions that blew me away the most. As a dedication to Jerry, the Grateful Dead, and our scene, the name of our band was born.

It’s spelled as one word because the JGB/Merl Saunders album, “Live at Keystone,” had the title listed as one word. – Dan

Neptune Seas (Part 1) Words and music by Dan Klock

Ebm Abm Occupying Neptune Seas, Ocean high and mighty waves Bbm Ebm Seashore swells in cycles tossing under, to and fro

Multi shades of shelter interlocking one another On an esplanade of diamond silt and pristine yellow sun

Wooden ships on further trips are setting sail with distant maps While scrolls of poems line the deck with just enough for all

Nighttime falls, you lose your name, never mind the time of day Wake with morning glories growing tightly in your palms

She believes in crazy love, when one door opens, one door shuts Virgin roads shall whisper, sister I can lead you home

High and low the tide still flows, it teaches you that all you own Are thoughts and dreams and memories as they wash away in song.

Never Let Go Words and Music by Dan Klock

Dm G Since we’re laying down together with the evening off the ground Dm G Free as a pair of angels rolling round in a lovers’ cloud Dm G Conversation glances we got so much to talk about Dm G Roll me over baby we can talk as the sun comes up

F C Dm Don’t ever let go F C Dm Don’t ever let go

Roses on the mantle, fireflies light the door Beeswax candle burning undressed shadows on the floor Tips of crazy fingers holding minutes as they pass I see that I should take my time and make each moment last

Don’t ever let go Don’t ever let go

Beauty to a pedal to a painter painting scenes Poets sheet of paper after forty seven states And there you are a dreamer as a singer dressed in song Spinning belly dancer with a Monday morning smile

Don’t ever let go Don’t ever let go

Further out than Venus and you’re deeper than a stone Roads that seem least traveled are the roads that lead you home Rise, shine, good morning, roll over, time to go Twenty some years behind you and a lifetime still to sow

Don’t ever let go Don’t ever let go

Nine Pound Blues Words and music by Dan Klock

A E Ridin’ into glory in the pouring rain A D Dragging every inch of that ball and chain A E A Mounty got a number tattooed on his arm

Hung my name on every pole Lean 180, ‘bout six foot four Lay him down and get yourself a cash reward

D A D A Jingle jangle, spin around, won’t get caught today D A D A Shake and rattle and sing along, this time we got away.

You’d think with four trains heading out of town There’d be at least one that I could squeeze on Made it passed the brakeman, quiet as a thief

Hiding in my stripes till I make it home Swapping road stories with an old hobo Freight train whistle howling just like a junk yard dog

Jingle jangle, spin around, won’t get caught today Shake and rattle and sing along, this time we got away.

Nine pound hammer sure makes you sweat Twice as hard when you lose your grip Louie pours a double called the nine pound outlaw blues

Swinging till dark chipping every stone Been laying that track since I was twenty four Louie, my man, tonight I ride them home

Jingle jangle, spin around, won’t get caught today Shake and rattle and sing along, this time we got away.

Overgrow Words and music by Dan Klock

Em7 A7 Oh my baby what a beautiful sight Em7 A7 To see ya all groovin’ on a groovy night Em7 A7 I’ll bet somewhere it’s been laid down as sin Em7 A7 To have a high smile and high grin

Monkey is in the rafters hanging with the candy man They all got together, took me by the hand Since that day I’ve been living in a jam Road map the size of the whole wide land

We gotta G A Em Oooooooooooooovergrow….

Subterranean misfit in an underground scene Smoke filled room and a dim lit stage What could they be playing that could make the world move Revolution calling from the stage to you

You gotta G A Em Oooooooooooooovergrow….

Play It Again Words and music by Jacob Haqq-Misra

I rode up in the evening thirty minutes to show Eb Cm Fm Bb Grab a drink and watch the ivories come alive Eb Cm Fm Bb Be the first to catch the curtain, see the last of 'em go Eb Eb7 Ab Adim7 Can't believe some folks are stayin' home tonight Eb Bb Eb

Toss a nickel, drop a dime to send a smile my way Sing the song ya' sung a hundred time aloud Play the sound to soothe my soul before the end of the day Ring it out just like there's no one else around

Chorus: Play it again, boy, play it again There ain't no use in quittin' 'till the day comes to an end You've been workin' all the while for a chance to shine tomorrow So tonight ya' better play it once again

I've seen him with a crowd and seen him take the stage alone Never lets a single note slip past his hands And its somethin' close to magic as they dance to and fro To let the music be the singer of the band

The melody rides over while the rhythm stays on track Everyone on board begins to sway This train has left the station, there's no use to go back So just relax, let the conductor have a say

I know the end to every lick each time it comes around And remember every show that got away Some folks think I'm crazy, I depend on the sound To lift me up and help me see another day

I'll never miss the smile he makes when folks let out a cheer And when he's still I know he'll close his eyes I hope he knows I'm grateful 'cause the music's so real Makes everyone so glad to be alive

Bridge: One night after the crowd had gone and I still had nowhere to go G7 C7 He said, "We're taking this show on the road, and I hope I see ya' in the front row!" F7 Bb7

I took my ride and looked around the place where I was at And let my mind take over with a grin I never thought I'd meet someone to draw me from that It's the right thing, I can feel it from within

The hall lit like a bonfire while the music blazed on stage He played his heart and hands and soul so true I know it's the beginning of the very first page Because the old familiar song still sounds so new

Road Song Words and music by Dan Klock

CHORUS 1: B A When the lights go down, mama, kick off your shoes E B When the tempo does the two-step, they’re swingin it just for you When the roof is shakin’, baby, and the smoke consumes the room It’s the first song of the first set and they’re singing it just for you

VERSE 1: B F# Chasin’ a smile that is bound to last E B Tear down the walls that were built too fast Living in a world that knows my cries They’ve heard it before, about a hundred times

CHORUS 2: B F# I’m just a road boy, struttin’1/slidin’2/rollin’3 down the line A E Pocket full of dreams that I can live by B A I’ve opened up the sky to hear the songbirds sing E B Never did they once ever sound the same

VERSE 2: Thinking of a girl that you loved to touch Thinking of the times that she played too rough. Thinking of your home and if the seeds were sown Thinking of the stars and that harvest moon. (Go to Chorus 1)

VERSE 3: Workin’ on a road that was spread too thin Covering the holes that I could not fix Running down the miles that spin my head Passing the time anyway I can (Go to Chorus 2)

VERSE 4: Rollin down the lines that we love so much Making new friends every place we stop Lending our homes to rest your bones Sending you off, well fed and stoned (Go to Chorus 2)

VERSE 5: Singing of the world as it spins off track Singing of the miles that you have on your back Singing of the songs that keep you strong Singing of the nights when you were doing wrong. (Go to Chorus 1, then Chorus 2)

Rebel Sue Words and music by Gina Riggio

Am Leading sisters into battle I’ve seen her walking down the street While marching all alone E7 Ain’t nobody that got somewhere good A twinkle in her eye By doing what you’re told D7 The taste of glory in her mouth CHORUS G Am Adventure on her mind One day I packed my bag When I knew I’d had enough Her swagger says she doesn’t care Embraced the road ahead of me And speak the truth she does No doubt it would be rough Riding high on inspiration Against the rules because Said goodbye to my mama And wiped my watered eyes Am Cause the future is a speeding train She’s Rebel Sue, Rebel Sue And I won’t be left behind C Whatcha gonna do CHORUS D7 They’re watching from their windows Kick back under the moonlight E7 Mud has stained our knees Oh the things they speak of you Sue and I’ve been running wild Am And doing as we please Don’t tell my mama or the neighbors C She never said a word That what I wish was true But I know that she knew D7 E7 Am That freedom has a price Was that I could be as bad as Rebel Sue. And we’ve been paying down our dues

I hide my darkest secrets CHORUS Behind a lady’s smile But petty coats are cumbersome And pigtails aren’t my style

Want to shed my fair skin In exchange for worker’s hands She’s my hero from a distance Cause nobody understands

CHORUS

I found Sue at the station And much to my surprise No army stood behind her No wingmen by her side

Sea of Blue Words and music by Dan Klock

D A Hey boy where ya goin', mama it'll be alright G I've been down this road ten thousand miles, since the fourth day of July His last step hit the KC ground he nodded through his eyes So long Colorado hello Caroline

CHORUS Beneath this sea of blue Oh what a view Among this scene of peace And all the days between

Each day a season passes, you rise up off the floor Another day lays beside you and it has come to settle a score So you deal, trade or borrow and you never hesitate In a mean ol' world full hustles and cheats you found a friend today

CHORUS Beneath this sea of blue Oh what a view Among this scene of peace And all the days between

Livin' on top of a great big world, swinging vine to vine Overhead was an angel band playin' ramble on down the line All those nights in a little grass shack, built by the hands of fate My first love was truth or dare, she was a risk I had to take

CHORUS Beneath this sea of blue Oh what a view Among this scene of peace And all the days between

Send Me a Smile Words and music by Jacob Haqq-Misra

F Well it’s a wide wide world full of everything you need Ride a tower to the top and see it all beneath Bb I got a hundred kinds of coffee and a thousand pounds of beans F I’ve seen it all before but still I don’t know what it mean C Bb We’re in this place together, gonna stay awake forever F Till I find myself a friend like you

CHORUS F Send me a smile C F Just a glance from your eyes so I know I’m not invisible F F7 Bb You may think me a stranger who can make it alone F C F But there still ain’t nothing quite like a smile

Listen to the music as the band begins to play Here the silence of tomorrow as the night turns into day Sip some whiskey on the side lines, take another shot of gin The sounds that make you move but give you nowhere to begin I ain’t got nothing better can we talk about the weather Well I know you know I’ve had my fill

CHORUS

BRIDGE Bb F And even with the streets rolling on C Bb Let the man on the post be your guide Bb F Cause there’s really no way to go wrong C C7 And there’s always a way to get by

I got my fill of history watching walls go down and up If that’s the way it goes well then I guess I’m outta luck Found a jingle on the corner where they know my kind of rhyme A little piece of gratefulness that managed to survive We find ourselves a walkin’ but I know we’ll be forgotten When I take myself to better days

Shades of August Words and music by Dan Klock

Bm All those shades of august turning bright and falling free Em Bm Autumn born from summertime laying right below your feet Bm Em Blue jay in the southern sky, black bear goes to sleep Bm Rolling off the mountains with the seasons on your sleeve

Em Bm Fireside at midnight and there’s stories still to tell Em Bm C#m Learn the names of a stranger, find our face out in the stars Em Bm Lately I’ve been thinking just how far out this could go F#m Bm Days go by like hours and the nights go on and on.

Five o clock this morning and the sun lays across the land March winds blowing gently along each winter’s branch Out here in the wilderness are footprints in the snow Skyline takes your breath away, hear the call of the wild

April rain a pouring just enough to fill the world Hey now May is growing, flowing bright, warm, and bold Morning wakes a newborn seed, growing to the sky Cherished ground you walk upon as thawed before your eyes.

Sooner or Later Words and music by Gina Riggio

Cm7 F7 (This is the whole song)

Don’t tell me what it means, it’s just a dream. Get your head out of the clouds she said Well I like it here. It’s friendly and it’s clear. For the first time things make sense Wanna stare at the clouds, Wanna roll around On the ground lay on my back Gonna stick my toes into the sand, Not gonna try to understand a thing, just gonna belly laugh

CHORUS Sooner or later When your body falls apart What will you have Sooner or later When life changes on a dime What will you have Sooner or later When you’re at your dying day What will you say Well that was time well spent

You know me, I’ll work hard. But not too too hard. Can’t toil away that precious time If you love what you do they say, you’ll never work a day In your life.

Got to have meaning so I can see that gleaming glow Of connection between one and I I’ll live healthfully And age gracefully So that you can see it in my eyes

CHORUS

I’m not too old, I’m not too bold, But after all this time I’m not that young I’m nothing great, I’m nothing special, but The gifts the good lord gave me are enough

I got a few Friends who are true They’ve been by me through thick and thin Through the clichés, and the delays. When I am ahead or when I’m caving in

CHORUS

Step it Up Words and music by Dan Klock

G7 Wrote a pile of letters but they never got sent Got a half a thousand pages that are stuck inside my head C Layin’ right beside me is a half a roll of stamps Stick ‘em all together and this is what she said

C D-D#-E-F-G7 Step it up! C D-C#-C-Bb-G7 Step it up

Only got one name and I believe it belongs to you I’m waiting for this bell to ring inside this telephone booth With a coin tight in my hand just enough to pay the toll I heard her voice and shouted, “You’re my sweet jelly roll!”

C D-D#-E-F-G7 Step it up! C D-C#-C-Bb-G7 Step it up

High steppin’ outta town with our red eyes open wide Flaggin’ down the 419 gonna catch it flyin’ by As quickly as it comes is as fast as it can go Feelin’ like two lovers in a set of hobo’s clothes

C D-D#-E-F-G7 Step it up! C D-C#-C-Bb-G7 Step it up

Keepin it together while this space is heating up Keepin’ it together gonna let our spirits run Keepin’ it together gonna love you till I drop Keepin’ it together and I swear I’ve never stop

C D-D#-E-F-G7 Step it up! C D-C#-C-Bb-G7 Step it up

Summertime Gone Words and music by Dan Klock

A G Wake up in the morning, scratch my chin A G Cool rain a blowin’, got wood to split A G Can’t wait no longer, gotta get on it A G Summer is a bygone, what a time we had.

Summertime came and summertime gone Looks like we had better throw on something warm Winds blow over, winds blow through Wind gonna take the leaves, gonna give ‘em to you

A G A G Oh, oh. Take it easy. Oh, oh, let it grow.

Playin’ for the moment, rollin’ along Nowhere else to be that ya aint been before Road goes on forever but it won’t lead you home When ya live up in the tree tops with birds of song

Rise up in the morning with a can’t wait grin Wear the clothes of a sandbox kid Gather around timbers where it all began Ain’t no rhyme or reason how you felt within

Oh, oh. Take it easy. Oh, oh, let it grow.

Note: The A chord bounces back and forth with A major and D major. The G chord goes back and forth with the C major chord.

Sundown Jam Words and music by Dan Klock

A Whatcha gonna do at the Sundown Jam Set the mood to shake and dance When it comes round to your sweet smile In advance we thank you all

E D Flyin’ high above the sound, Flying high barefoot and proud

Whatcha gonna do at the Sundown Jam Play that song like you never have Bend that tone if the note goes flat Let it roll out your fingers and off your back Some may get it, some may not Some keep shining when the sun goes down

Whatcha gonna do at the Sundown Jam Tappin out a rhythm on the old tin can Hootin’ and a Hollarin’, banging on a drum Field full o’ spinners, field full of love Flowing like a river after a storm Everyone keeps on keepin’ on

Butterfly comes, butterfly goes No one ever told that butterfly no Spin, jump, roll around, make it known With one big smile you are the show She don’t live for the rich man’s fold She sure as hell never goes what she’s told

Whatcha gonna do at the Sundown Jam Harmonize with a few good friends One takes tenor and one takes bass One takes the middle and the other can’t sing He’s playing with his boomerang in the fog Thank God he’s got his lucky dog

Livin’ on a back road country block Back to good livin’ threw away my watch Ol’ time fiddle and the banjo man Now that’s what I call a summertime jam!

Sun in My Face Words and music by Gina Riggio

F# B The scorched dry earth stretches out for miles No shade in site as far as I can see Even the plants have attitudes From the tallest tree down to the smallest weed

It doesn’t rain here much but when it goes The pristine sun-kissed sky just opens up Now I am invincible as I run between the drops And the air I breath is cleaner when it stops

CHORUS

C# D#m I can’t wait B F# Cause everywhere I go, the sun is in my face C# D#m No need to hide B F# The ground rolls out behind me and I know the day is mine G# F# Look back and see how far I’ve come

I scramble over sheets of rolling rocks It teaches me to overcome the odds A thirsty cactus pokes its head from between a pair of stones And it’s at that moment that I know

CHORUS

JAM: D# C# G#

When I look out over gray and wish for green Like I’ve missed the forest for the trees Things are what they are because that’s how they ended up Guess that’s how it’s always gonna be

CHORUS

That’s Alright Words and music by Dan Klock

D7 You can take my rope, you can take my chain You can leave me hangin’ without a thing G D7 That’s alright, that’s alright A G D7 That’s alright mama, either way I’m doin’ fine

You can bring gray skies, command the rain You can shield the sun behind a hurricane That’s alright, that’s alright That’s alright mama…Made it here and my strings are dry

You can sleep all day, run with the dogs Come home to bed, long after dawn That’s alright, that’s alright That’s alright mama, made it here and it feels so right

You can sail the seas, leave me on the shore You can play your game, I ain’t keepin’ score That’s alright, that’s alright That’s alright mama, we are here and it’s time to shine

The Way We Never Were Words and music by Gina Riggio

Em7 F#m7 Em7 F#m7 On any street in any city, the movement never stops I got myself a front row seat cause I don’t have to beat the clock Hanging out in purgatory till I’ve had my fill Draw conclusions from their movements when I’m standing still

CHORUS: F#m7 B Em7 A Longing for the old days, the way we never were F#m7 B Em7 A When time went by more slowly and heartbreaks didn’t hurt F#m7 B Em7 A Missing all the those long nights when we’d stay up with the stars F#m7 B Em7 A The way we never were is just the way we hope we are

Catching up with friends from long ago feels just like home We chat and laugh is if no time has passed since last we spoke Realize we’re getting older, we’re not children anymore But going back in time would cheat us out of what’s in store

CHORUS: Longing for the old days, the way we never were When time went by more slowly and heartbreaks didn’t hurt Missing all the those long nights when we’d stay up with the stars The way we never were is just the way we hope we are

Wish that I could leave my troubles in the time when I was young I didn’t know it then back then it turns out I had none Life was so much sweeter when it didn’t cost a cent Now I’m looking at the hour glass wondrin’ where time went

CHORUS: Longing for the old days, the way we never were When time went by more slowly and heartbreaks didn’t hurt Missing all the those long nights when we’d stay up with the stars The way we never were is just the way we hope we are

Trail’s End Words and music by Jacob Haqq-Misra

Gm C7 Gm C7 Born to live this way, worn to live today Gm All talk and no show, C7 Gm C7 Never thinking ‘bout the show comin’ down

In this grand parade, it ain’t just a game Putting mind before money ‘cause the money says it’s over and through

Searching for a cure, never be too sure Wait for the lighting to strike Catch a cloud but don’t get caught in the rain

Work to stay secure, so much to endure Give a shout in the jungle Here the echo it’ll follow you home

CHORUS: Gm Bb Calling You, set me free C Gm Watching over all we see Gm Bb Calling you, let me be C Bb Look around us, it’s all I see

Checked out by a pro, but it’s tough to know If the reason for the rhyme Creates the rhythm to the music you play

Find some time alone, face the afterglow Chasin shadows after nightfall Keeps the fire burning over and through

CHORUS

Got to take a stand, tell those in command If they do or if they don’t It only matters if they hear what you say

Raise a broken hand, to a distant land Hit the end of the trail Keep facin’ miles of you already knew

CHORUS

Tune Without A Name Words and music by Dan Klock

I can see in this space I’m standing There’s a tune without a name I can see in this space I’m standing There’s an ear to hear you sing

I can see in this space I’m standing As you tug upon the strings I believe in this space I’m standing That the world is one big stage

CHORUS At the foothills of the valley, chasin’ rainbows in the sun Wishing for direction as the circle of life unfolds Is it worth its weight in silver, one can never tell But I can see in this space I’m standing in I believe it belongs to song

I can see in this space I’m standing There’s a tree as old as Christ – that his fingers gave it life I should guard it with all my might Like the whisper from a butterfly on a treetop takin’ flight

CHORUS At the foothills of the valley, I believe it belongs to soul….

I can see in this space I’m standing An ocean deep and vast – a reflection built to last A world beyond our grasp As golden as the promise that’s revealed in all good time

CHORUS At the foothills of the valley, believe it’s along the shore

I can see in this space I’m standing A road as smooth as ice – that the stones were kicked aside Times doesn’t hesitate We should give before we take

CHORUS At the foothills of the valley, I believe it belongs to sound

Upside Down Words and music by Gina Riggio

E B A E up against the back wall, quietly he stands not quite sure what he should do with his large awkward hands puts them in his pockets, and takes them out again feeling eyes invisible, burning through his skin (Hold E out 1 measure)

E B A E everyone around him knows just what to do flattery's not imitation when it's done by fools a battle cry with undertones of insecurity He's just undressed the part of him he hoped they'd never see

CHORUS B A E Pardon me while I’m just passing through, won't make a sound B A E I’d check the books for what to do but I just don't know how B A E as soon as I get there I'm gonna up and leave this town B A E F#7 But I've got the wrong directions and my road map's upside down A Upside Down

A light brush with a finger, and a silence between words every breath is diced apart and every heartbeat hurts when will it get easier when will it just click how can I find the answers in a manual so thick

Jam E B A E sometime later as an old man he doesn't understand why these things keep happening he's done all that he can Least I can count on one thing in poverty or wealth I've always done the right thing, he mumbles to himself

CHORUS x2

Under the Wire Words and music by Gina Riggio

Eb – Eb/Db – Eb – Gb Nobody’s gonna catch me, nobody’s gonna know Where I keep my buried treasure they’ll never go

Nobody’s gonna catch me, nobody’s gonna see Where I keep my secrets cause I carry them with me

Eb Gb Db Eb I try so hard to beat them at their own game Eb Gb Ab I got this far, guess my two left feet can dance Db Barely tripping up on chance Eb Gb Db Eb One over par, one minute left to make it Eb Gb Just under the wire….. (hold 1 extra measure) Ab B Eb I’m flying by the seat of my pants

Then again I’m not that brave, I’m not that tough Seems that I always wait just long enough

They say that I run between rain drops Think fast! Here comes a bullet, just dodge the shot

CHORUS

Makin something outta nothing, gonna make it last Turn a dollar into five, gotta change it fast Living end to end and not a penny more But enough left over to get me home

CHORUS

I took a deep breath and I closed my eyes Put my heart out there one last time

I was once starving out in the woods Old days behind me, new times are good.

CHORUS

Unwind Words and music by Jacob Haqq-Misra

Bbm I'm always home where I'm at Gb Ain't never gonna look back Db Once you feel the beat Ab It makes you keep movin' on

Watch the morning star | And notice who you are Bring the sound to life | Let the music play

Bbm I don't mind but I Absus4 Sometimes wonder why I get Eb Wrapped up into a knot and try to F7 Unwind myself to right where I am

I don't mind, but I Sometimes wonder why I get Wrapped up into a knot and try to Unwind myself to right where I began

I'll take whatever's here | If no one else is near It's a lonely night | There's always room to share

Meet me where I stand | I hope it makes you feel glad To be dancin' | Like you own the light

CHORUS

Movin' 'till I drop | No point in tryin' to stop Every mile I take | Leaves a year behind

The longer that you're gone | Keeps me playin' along To the tune you sang | When we began

CHORUS

Bridge Repeat 4 times. [Stay on Bbm, Gb, Db, Ab] Never stop | Lookin' what's above and beneath Unwrap the knot | Unwind another mystery

Stay on chorus chords

CHORUS 3 times to end Welcome Home Words and music by Dan Klock

Intro: Bbm – Cm – Bbm – Ab

Ab Gb Sound of a piano as it’s blowin in the wind Ab Carrying a promise that it’s something more than this Journey into space untold surfing on a quest Swaying sounds of motion as the music plays the band

Wake up in the bushes with your sandals in the air Time to rise and ramble down the road without a care Take it easy, take it slow, take it as it goes Each one got each other and the climate suits our clothes

CHORUS Ab Db Spend my waking days chasing circles round the moon Eb Db Eb Everyone I know is chasin good times too Ab Db Futher down the road is a song called welcome home Eb Db Eb Bbm* You can hear the piper playing to it all night long

Branches in the forest leave you higher than the range See a little further once the leaves have slipped away Footprints down the mountain holding dreams with none to spare Leaving open lanes asking “where will you go from here?”

CHORUS

Coming down the back stretch as your laying in your bed With all those distant memories that are spinning in your head Gather up the children to recite a faithful tale Of how you heard the music and you found those countless miles

CHORUS

*First goes into intro chords: Bbm – Cm – Bbm - Ab *Second goes into verse chords: Ab – Gb *Third goes into chorus chords: Ab – Db – Eb – Db – Eb *Fourth goes into intro chords again: Bbm – Cm – Bbm – Ab

Winter Song Words and music by Gina Riggio

F# F#sus4/B Barefoot on a frozen hill / Gravel in my toes F# C# Where this path is leading / Almighty only knows F# F#sus4/B Now, I don’t need to see the light / Least not before my time F# C# B C# F# Just need to reach the point when / I’m not asking why

Don’t wander in the forest / Because I’ve lost my way It’s just that I can see the night / More clearly in the day

Take away the buildings / Take away the streets Take away my shoes, why don’t ya? / I still have my feet

F# C# It’s been a long hard winter / Caterpillars don’t tell lies B G#m You’ll be wise to heed their warning / Of those gray December skies F# C# When you’re sitting in the room / Where lady luck has done you wrong G#m B C# F# You’ll be waiting out the storm / Singing this here winter song

Through a clearing in the overlook / Where everything’s still ice I see the rooftops of the houses / Where the snow has turned them white

An imaginary skipping stone / Bounces on the sea Of the many lefts and wrong turns / And the many memories

CHORUS

Jam on G#m C# G#m C# Turnaround after G#m is B C# F#(this F# is the beginning of the next verse) Then back into verse pattern again.

These times can be impossible / Waiting for the spring Tired of the learning / And the lessons winter brings

My fingers just don’t move right / Chills run across my skin But inside my heart stays warm / When the blizzard snows me in

CHORUS – Short Jam on Verse Chords – CHORUS to end

What Would It Take Words and Music by Gina Riggio

Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 The simple life is not so hard to live Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G With just the right amount of takin’ and a half a pound of give Am G Am Throw away all the lines that are just stories anyway Am G F And make the most of living by just living for today

C Em F What would it take for there to be more happy songs C Em F Songs about being grateful, not just right about what’s wrong C Em F Fm People wasting words and energy on being sad D7 G C When they could be dancin’ til the morning comes

Broken hearts may seem impossible to mend Sometimes streaks of bad luck seem to never end When the odds are stacked you can count on that Everyone’s elastic, what hits bottom bounces back

Chorus

The little things in life just make it all worthwhile Like sunsets, fingerpaintings, and your lover’s smile You don’t need to have it all you just need to be Open to a world of possibility

Chorus

Jam: C – D9 – C – G – F C – D9 – F - G – G

Wheelman Words and music by Dan Klock

Am – G / Am – C – G / Am – C – G

Am G Cold shot of daybreak through the bars Saddle up warden, call the guards One in the tower calling ten on the ground Rounds get shattered, but I ain’t going down

C G Wheelman, go man, step it up, run F C Jailbird flying back up north G Free as a feather, quick on his feet F C This ain’t no life, but it chose me.

Am – G / Am – C – G / Am – C – G

Floating on the water, rolling them bones Riverboat gambler betting all he owns Poor man’s wager for a rich man’s prize Pair of eights backed with ace’s high

Wheelman, go man, step it up, run. Jackpot higher than heaven above Out on a river boat full of dreams. This aint no life, but it chose me.

Jam on whole pattern

Back at the safe house counting my dimes Bank on the corner that’s just my size Faster than poker, quicker than dice Spin the wheel with dynamite

Wheelman, go man, step it up, run Last shot of freedom but you can’t slow down Raised by an outlaw, made for a thief This ain’t no life, but it chose me.

Jam on whole pattern Then Am – G (jam on verse chords)

Wheelman, go man, step it up, run, Even the lord raised devil, son Beg for mercy as you go to sleep, this ain’t no life, but it chose me.
