Please Don’t Ask About Barbara

Please don’t ask about Barbara
Don’t ask me if she’s found somebody new
‘Cause I would try to smile but in a little while
My tears would show and then you’d know, it’s true

Please don’t ask about Barbara

The hurt will bring the teardrops to my eyes
 
Though I  
D# 
Gm 
would pretend that now she’s just  
Cm 
a 
 
friend
Gm 
You’d look  
G# 
at me and see right through the lies
Cm7 
D# 
Gm 
Tears, tears, go away, come again another day
Gm 
How can I  
G#m 
hide this pain I feel  
A# 
inside?
Gm 
A#7 
When little  
D# 
teardrops give  
G# 
my heart away
Fm 
D# 
Don’t you ever  
Gaug 
tell 
 
 
G# 
Barbara
 
I’d rather die  
D# 
than let her  
C 
know, I’m cryin’
 
Let her  
A# 
run around  
Cm 
until 
 
 
Gm 
the day she’s found
 
She needs  
A# 
me back again but this I ask till  
D# 
then
Cm 
 
Please  
D# 
don’t ask about Barbara

Don’t Let Me Die Still Wondering

Posted on by
 
I  
B 
walk these streets where my soulless feet
 
Haunt  
G#m 
the ground where it  
C# 
was I  
B 
once 
 
 
F# 
tread
 
On  
B 
Grafton’s Arcade pours  
F# 
the rich commerce rain
C# 
Though the  
B 
voices 
 
 
F# 
I no  
B 
longer hear  
C# 
speak
F# 
 
Heaven’s to  
E 
blame so  
B 
on 
 
 
G# 
that 
 
 
C#m 
I’ll 
 
abstain
F# 
Best clean the  
B 
church from my  
G#m 
cracked 
 
 
B 
fingernail
 
But don’t let  
C#m 
me 
 
 
B 
die still wondering
E 
What it  
G#m 
was 
 
 
F# 
I left  
C# 
behind?
B 
 
From God’s golden plate begrudgers they  
F# 
eat
 
‘Till their belly’s burst  
B 
ignorance 
 
bliss
 
Never they roam a  
F# 
wanderless 
 
home
 
Is  
E 
as far as their sorry  
C#m 
eye 
 
 
F# 
sees
 
Give  
B 
me a rusty ol’  
E 
goat 
 
 
B 
well 
 
 
G# 
trampled and  
C#m 
soaked
B 
Until these ashes and  
E 
blood mingle  
B 
deep
 
But don’t let  
E 
me 
 
 
B 
die still wondering
 
What  
E 
it was I  
B 
left 
 
behind?
 
Though  
E 
I’ve 
 
 
B 
been that face before
G#m 
Slammed every open door
Squandered once scattered beliefs
B 
So when the waves  
E 
come crashin’ in
G#m 
I’ll swim  
A#m 
as the  
E 
ocean 
 
 
B 
swims
 
Out  
E 
with 
 
 
B 
the morning  
A#m 
tide 
 
 
B 
then back for my tea
 
So I’ll do as I please like  
C# 
the well-tempered  
B 
breeze
F# 
Blowin’ which  
B 
way 
 
 
C# 
I see  
F# 
fit
 
I’ll gray with  
C# 
the clay  
B 
seven days till the day
C# 
When 
 
 
F# 
they throw me  
E 
on 
 
 
B 
the potter’s  
G# 
scrap 
 
 
G#m 
heap
 
F# 
But take my  
B 
advice, you’ll have to  
E 
bury 
 
 
B 
me 
 
twice
C#m 
‘Cause the  
B 
first time I won’t  
G#m 
rest 
 
easily
But don’t let me die still wondering
E 
What it  
C#m 
was I  
G#m 
left 
 
 
A 
behind?
 
So don’t let  
G#m 
me die still wondering
 
What it was  
A 
I left behind?
E 
I want a race well run  
C#m 
ahead of  
B 
the 
 
 
A 
gun
With a dance before the far finish line
C#m 
 
So no life  
A 
long regrets,  
E 
only well  
G#m 
feathered 
 
steps
A 
Until 
 
 
E 
these 
 
 
A 
shoes I  
E 
can no longer shine
A 
But don’t  
E 
let 
 
 
A 
me die  
G#m 
still 
 
 
A 
wonderin’
 
For  
G#m 
the love I  
E 
left 
 
behind

Let Me Be Your Star

Posted on by
F# 
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame
 
And a face and a  
D#m 
name you’ll remember.
F# 
The past fades away
 
Because as of this  
C# 
day
 
Norma Jean’s  
D#m 
gone,
She’s moving on.
B 
Her smile and your fantasies
Play a duet
G#dim 
That will make you forget
F# 
Where you are.
A#aug 
The music starts playing
 
It’s  
D#m 
the beat of  
C#m 
her heart saying,
 
"Let me be your  
A#m 
star."
 
Flash back to a  
F# 
girl
With a song in her heart
As she’s waiting to start the adventure.
 
The  
D#m 
fire and drive
 
That make  
Bm 
dreams come alive,
 
They  
F# 
fill her soul.
D#m 
She’s in control.
 
The  
B 
drama, the laughter,
 
The  
G#m 
tears just  
E 
like 
 
pearls.
G#dim 
 
Well, they’re all in this  
F# 
girl’s 
 
repertoire.
 
It’s all for  
A#aug 
the 
 
taking,
 
And it’s magic we’ll  
C#m 
be 
 
making.
 
Let me  
Bm 
be your star.
 
I’ll just have to forget the  
F# 
hurt that came before,
Forget what used to be.
A# 
The past is on the  
F#m 
cutting room floor,
D 
The future is here with me.
 
Choose  
G# 
me!
C# 
 
Fade up on a  
D 
star
 
With it all  
G 
in her sights:
 
All the love  
Em 
and the lights
C 
That surround  
Cm 
her.
G 
Someday she’ll think twice
 
Of  
Em 
the dues and the  
C 
price
 
She’ll have to pay (She’ll  
F 
have to pay)
 
But not today (But  
G 
not 
 
today)
Then she’ll do all she can
 
For the love  
Dm 
of one man
And for millions who look from afar.
 
And what you’ve  
G 
been 
 
needing
Is all here and my heart’s bleeding.
 
Let me  
Gaug 
be 
 
 
G 
your 
 
star!

Watch How You Go

Posted on by
The more we rush about, the less we do
I never saw you drift away
 
The more we  
Gaug 
spin around, the  
G 
less we  
Am 
move
C 
I never  
G 
saw your spirit break
C 
I 
 
 
G 
wish that I could be  
Am 
your journeys  
C 
end
 
But you were only passing  
G 
through, 
 
yeah
 
Its  
Em 
not for  
Am 
me 
 
 
G 
to try  
Bm 
to 
 
 
Em 
stay your way
 
I  
G 
wish

you well  
Em 
in all  
Am 
you

Just  
Bm 
say you’ll

go
 
Be gracious

with your

And may

C 
Just say you’ll

roam
 
The

things that

we have

shared
C 
Will soon be

left

behind 
 
now
C 
I hope  
G 
you know that you’re a  
C 
graceful 
 
 
G 
soul
 
You  
Gaug 
fill the  
C 
room 
 
 
G 
with hope and  
Em 
light
 
It’s  
Am 
only right  
G 
that you

should 
 
 
Em 
go your  
C 
way
 
D 
Cause nothing  
G 
ever lasts that long
C 
Just 
 
 
Em 
say you’ll  
Am 
watch how you  
C 
go
 
Be gracious with  
G 
your 
 
light
 
And  
C 
may 
 
 
Em 
the years

be kind now
C 
Just say you’ll mind how

you 
 
roam
D 
The things that

Will soon be left

behind 
 
 
Em 
now
 
Behind

now
Behind now
 
Behind  
C 
now
 
Just say you’ll watch

how you go
 
Be

Am 
And may the

years

Just say you’ll

Only the Horses

Posted on by
I know you didn`t realize
That the city was gone
 
You tought  
G#dim 
there wolud be advartisements
To give you something to go on
So we search the sky
 
For  
C# 
any flashing signs
We`ve gone to far beyond
The border it`s just you and i
F# 
And if  
C# 
this is the end
It`s the best place i`ve ever been
 
It feels so good  
D#m 
to 
 
just
 
Get  
A#m 
lost 
 
sometimes
 
Only the  
D#m 
horses
 
Can  
G# 
find us tonight
Only the horses
 
Can  
C# 
bring us  
G# 
back 
 
home
 
Our  
C# 
tracks they will  
D#m 
follow
C# 
They`ll 
 
 
G# 
hear us calling
And save us by morning light
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
Tonight…
Tonight…

We can`t escape the basic facts

A#m 
How cold  
C# 
it can get
There is nothing to protect ourselves
 
When the  
F# 
rain gets  
C# 
us 
 
wet
 
So i`ll just tell  
F# 
you 
 
 
C# 
know
This is our final bow
 
If  
D#m 
you don`t  
G# 
know the way to
 
Hold me  
D#m 
let me  
G# 
show you how
 
And if this is the  
C# 
end
G# 
It`s the best  
C# 
place i`ve ever  
D#m 
been
 
It  
G# 
feels 
 
 
A#m 
so good to just get lost sometimes

Only the horses

G# 
Can find us tonight
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
C# 
Our tracks they will follow
They`ll hear us calling
And save us by morning light
Only the horses
Can bring us back home
Tonight…
