For the lift off I use a delay set very long and with a large repeat number and
scrape the low 'E' string while fading the volume in. Then hit random notes on
the high 'E' when there's lots of noise. The outro is again lots of random notes
high up on the high 'E' string with delay.

I tear my soul to cease the pain

I think maybe you feel the same

A7 Cmaj7 Em
So I've been writing just for you

They say your life is going very well

They say you sparkle like a different girl

When all the world is warm and tired

You cry a little in the dark

Well so do I
Am7 Cmaj7
I'm not quite sure what you're supposed to say

He treats you well and makes you up real fine

And when you kiss it's something new

But did you ever call my name
Em
Just by mistake?

I bless you madly, sadly as I tie my shoes
D/C G/B G/Bb D D/C
I love you badly, just in time, at times, I guess
G/B G/Bb D D/C
Because of you I need to rest
G/B G/Bb D
Because it's you that sets the test
Eb Bbm
So much has gone and little is new
A
And as the sparrow sings
F# Bbm
Dawn chorus for someone else to hear
A F# Bbm
The thinker sits alone growing older and so bitter
F Bbm
I gave them life, I gave them all
C Fm
They drained my very soul dry
F Bbm
I crushed my heart to ease their pains
C Fm Ab
No thought for me remains there
Bbm Db C C/B
Nothing can they spare what of me
Am F
Who praised their efforts to be free
G C C/B
Words of strength and care and sympathy
Am F
I opened doors that would have blocked their way
G C C/B
I braved their cause to guide, for little pay
Am F
I ravaged at my finance just for those
G C C/B
Those whose claims were steeped in peace, tranquility
Am F
Those who said a new world, new ways ever free
G C C/B
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me
BREAK: Am F G

Because it's you that sets the test
Eb Bbm
So much has gone and little is new
A F# Bbm
And as the sunrise stream flickers on me
A
My friends talk of glory, untold dream
F# Bbm
Where all is God and God is just a word
F Bbm
We had a friend, a talking man
C Fm
Who spoke of many powers that he had
F Bbm
Not of the best of men, but ours
C Fm Ab
We used him we let him use his powers
Bbm Db C C/B
We let him fill our needs now we are strong
Am F
And the road is coming to its end
G C C/B
Now the damned have no time to make amends
Am F
No purse of token fortune stands in our way
G C C/B
The silent guns of love will blast the sky
Am F
We broke the ruptured structure built of age
G C C/B
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage
Am F
Where money stood we planted seeds of rebirth
G C C/B
And stabbed the backs of Fathers Sons of dirt
Am F
Infiltrated business cesspools hating through our sleeves
G C
Yeah, and we slit the Catholic throat stoned the poor on slogans such as
C/B Am
Wish you could hear, love is all we need, kick out the jams
F
Kick out your Mother, cut up your friend
G
Screw up your Brother or he'll get you in the end
C C/B Am
And we know the flag of love is from above
F
And we can force you to be free
G
And we can force you to believe
C Am
And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain
F
For I once read a book in which the lovers were slain
G
For they knew not the words of the free states
C C/B
It said I believe in the power of good
Am
I believe in the state of love
F
I will fight for the right to be right
G C
I will kill for the good of the fight for the right to be right
C/B Am
And I open my eyes to look around
F Gsus4 G
And I see a child laid slain on the ground
C Am
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
F G
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
C C/B Am F Fsus4 F
But not hearing anymore, not hearing anymore
G C
Just the shrieks from the old rich and I Want to Believe
G C
In the madness that calls now and I want to Believe
G Bb
That a light's shining through somehow and I Want to Believe
F
And You Want to Believe
C
And We Want to Believe
G
And We Want to Live
Ab Bb
Oh, We Want to Live We Want to Live
C G Ab
We Want to Live We Want to Live We Want to Live

Bm Em A
D F#m
I recall how we lived
Am Am7
On the corner of a bed

And we'd speak of a Swedish room
Eb
Of hessian and wood
D F#m
And we'd talk with our eyes
Am Am7
Of the sweetness in our lives
C G
And tomorrows of rich surprise
Eb F A
Some things we could do
C
In our madness we burnt one hundred days
Time takes time to pass
Eb
And I still hold some ashes to me
F
An occasional dream
BREAK: A7 A7sus4 A7 A7sus4
Bm Em A
D F#m
And we'd sleep, oh so close
Am Am7
But not really close our eyes
C G
'Tween the sheets of summer bathed in blue
Eb
Gently weeping nights
D F#m
It was long, long ago
Am Am7
And I still can't touch your name
C G
For the days of fate were strong for you
Eb F A
Danced you far from me
C
In my madness I see your face in mine
I keep a photograph, it burns my wall with time
Eb F
Time an occasional dream
Eb F
Of mine an occasional dream
Ab Bb A Dm C G Bb A7
Of mine an occasional dream of mine

D7 D6 Bb
And the last thing on his mind
A Edim
Is the Wild Eyed Boy imprisoned
D Dmaj7
'Neath the covered wooden shaft
D7 D6 Bb
Folds the rope into its bag
A Edim
Blows his pipe of smolders
D Dmaj7
Blankets smoke into the room
D7 D6 Bb
And the day will end for some
C G E7sus4 E7
As the night begins for one
D Dmaj7 D7
Staring through the message in his eyes
D6 Bb
Lies a solitary son
A Edim
From the mountain called Freecloud
D Dmaj7
Where the eagle dare not fly
D7 D6 Bb
And the patience in his sigh
A Edim D Dmaj7
Gives no indication for the townsmen to decide
D7 D6 Bb
So the village dreadful yawns
A Edim
Pronouncing gross diversion
D Dmaj7
As the label for the dog
D7 D6 Bb
Oh it's the madness in his eyes
C G
As he breaks the night to cry
D Dmaj7
It's really me
D7 D6 Bb
Really you and really me
A Edim D Dmaj7
It's so hard for us to really be
D7 D6 Bb
Really you and really me
A Edim D Dmaj7 D7 D6 C
You'll lose me though I'm always really...free
C
And the mountain moved its eyes to the world of realise
Bb Ab
Where the snow had saved a place
C E7
For the Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud
C
And the village dreadful cried as the rope began to rise
Bb Ab
For the smile stayed on the face
C E7
Of the wide eyed boy from Freecloud
G
And the women once proud
C
Clutched the heart of the crowd
G C
As the boulders smashed down from the mountain's hand
Am
And the Magic in the stare
C Am
Of the Wild Eyed Boy said stop Freecloud
C E7sus4 E7
They won't think to cut me down
C F C F
But the cottages fell like a playing card hell
Bb F C
And the tears on the face of the wise boy
C F C F
Came tumbling down to the rumbling ground
Bb F C
And the missionary mystic of peace love
D Dmaj7 D7 D6 Bb
Stumbled back to cry among the clouds
A Edim
Kicking back the pebbles
D C
From the Freecloud mountainTrack

GOD KNOWS I'M GOOD from Space Oddity
INTRO: G C C G F C
G C C G F C
Am Am7 E7sus4 A7
I was walking through the counters of a national concern
F C G C C
And a cash machine was spitting by my shoulder
Am Am7 E7sus4 A7
And I saw the multitude of faces, honest, rich and clean
F C G C C
As the merchandise exchanged and money roared
C G Am Am7
And a woman hot with worry slyly slipped a tin of stewing steak
D C G C C
Into the paper bag at her side
C G Am Am7
And her face was white with fear in case her actions were observed
D C G C C
So she closed her eyes to keep her conscience blind
CHORUS 1:
Am Am/G
Crying God knows I'm good
Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
Am C E
God may look the other way today
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
Am C E
God may look the other way today
INTRO
Am Am7 E7sus4 A7
Then she moved toward the exit clutching tightly at her paper bag
F C G C C
Perspiration trickled down her forehead
Am Am7 E7sus4 A7
And her heart it leapt inside her as the hand laid on her shoulder
F C G C C
She was led away bewildered and amazed
C G Am Am7
Through her deafened ears the cash machines were shrieking on the counter
D C G C C
As her escort asked her softly for her name
C G Am Am7
And a crowd of honest people rushed to help a tired old lady
D C G C C
Who had fainted to the whirling wooden floor
CHORUS 2:
Am Am/G
Crying God knows I'm good
Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
Am C E
Surely God wont look the other way
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F F E
God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good, God knows I'm good
Am C E
Surely God wont look the other way

MEMORY OF A FREE FESTIVAL from Space Oddity
INTRO: F G C F G
F G C F G C
C F C G Dm7
G Dm7 G Dm7
G Dm7
The Children of the summer's end
Em Am
Gathered in the dampened grass
Bm Bb
We played Our songs and felt the London sky
C G
Resting on our hands it was God's land
C G Dm7
It was ragged and naive it was Heaven
G Dm7
Touch, We touched the very soul
Em Am
Of holding each and every life
Bm Bb
We claimed the very source of joy ran through
C G
It didn't, but it seemed that way
C G Eb C
I kissed a lot of people that day
C Em
Oh, to capture just one drop
C7 Am7 F
Of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon
G F C
To paint that love upon a white balloon
Em C7
And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops
Am7 F
That man has pushed beyond his brain
G F C
Satori must be something just the same
D Dmaj7
We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes
D7 D6 G6
And saw machines of every shape and size
A G D
We talked with tall Venusians passing through
Dmaj7
And Peter tried to climb aboard
D7 D6
But the Captain shook his head
G6
And away they soared
A G D
Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud
A G D
Someone passed some bliss among the crowd
A G
And We walked back to the road, unchained
WEIRD BIT
D C G D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah
D C G D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah
D C G D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah
D C G D
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party, ah ah ah
Repeat until fade out...
