Long Promised Road
Cmaj7
Em
So hard to answer future's riddle
F
When ahead is seeming so far behind
Cmaj7
Em
So hard to laugh a childlike giggle
F
When the tears start to torture my mind
Em/g
Dm
So hard to shed the life of before
F
To let my soul automatically soar
C
F
But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
C
F
Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me
C
Dm
C/e
F
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
Sew up the wounds of evolution
And the now starts to get in my way
So what if life's a revelation
If the mind speaks of only today
So real, the pain growing in soul
Of climbing up to reality's goal
F/c
Long promised road

Long promised road
Dm6/f
Em7
Am7/e
Em7/a
Am7
Flows to the source, gentle force, never ending, never ending
So hard to lift the jewelled sceptre
When the weight turns a smile to a frown
So hard to drink of passion nectar
When the taste of life's holding me down
So hard to plant the seed of reform
To set my sights on defeating the storm
Take A Load Off Your Feet
A
D
A
D
I do 'em when I'm down in the tub
A
D
A
D
With avocado cream they'll take a rub
A
D
A
D
They wrinkle like raisins if I stay too long
A
E
A
I wouldn't want to do it wrong
They'll put you in the driver's seat
And to the table when you want to eat
But when you go to sit down in your chair
E7#9
Something else has got to put you there
D
E
A
Take good care of your feet, Pete
D
E
A
You better watch out what you eat, Pete
D
C#m
B7
E7
Better take care of your life 'cause nobody else will
They'll twinkle when you fall in love
And put you there when you jump up above
When you're on the spot, get them right under you
One, then the other too
F#m
C#m
If you want to do the right thing for them
F#m
C#m
Just take a walk in the grass
F#m
C#m
But don't you catch yourself fallin'
Bm7
E7
Or steppin' on a piece of glass
Pete knows all the treacherous foes
The fallen arches and the cramp in the toes
He went to HELP and got some sandals new
And does the yoga asanas too
Take a load of your feet Pete
You better watch out what you eat
Better take care of your life 'cause nobody else will

Patti Page and summer days on old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine in my garage
Country shade and lemonade guess I'm slowing down
It's a turned back world with a local girl in a smaller town
Open cars and clearer stars that's what I've lacked
But fantasy world and Disney girls I'm coming back

And old time dances
All my life I spent the night with dreams of you
And the warmth I missed and the things I wished they're all coming true
I've got my love to give and a place to live guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life with a forever wife and a kid someday
It's early nights and pillow fights and your soft laugh
Fantasy world and Disney girls I'm coming back
Student Demonstration Time
A
Starting out with Berkeley Free Speech and later on at People's Park
The winds of change fanned into flames student demonstrations spark
Down to Isla Vista where police felt so harassed
They called the special riot squad of the LA County Sheriff

Well there's a riot going on

Student demonstration time
A
The violence spread down South to where Jackson State brothers
Learned not to say nasty things about Southern policemen's mothers
Nothing much was said about it and really next to nothing done
The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for a gun
Well there's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Well there's a riot going on
'Cause it's student demonstration time
A
America was stunned on May 4th, 1970
When rally turned to riot up at Kent State University
They said the students scared the guard, though the troops were battle-dressed
Four martyrs earned a new degree: the Bachelor of Bullets
I know we're all fed up with useless wars and racial strife
But next time there's a riot, well, you best stay out of sight
Well there's a riot going on
There's a riot going on
Well there's a riot going on

Feel flows (White puff glistening shadowy flows)
F
Feel goes (Black puff glistening shadowy flows)
Unbending, never-ending tablets of time
Record all the yearning
Un-fearing, all-appearing message divine
Eases the burning
Whether willing witness waits at my mind
Whether hope dampens memory
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Feel flows (White puff glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black puff glistening shadowy flows)

Imposing, un-closing thoughts that compose
Retire the fences
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether harps heal the memory
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel flows (White puff glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black puff glistening shadowy flows)

They did so long ago
One day I was full of life
My sap was rich and I was strong
From seed to tree I grew so tall
Through wind and rain I could not fall
But now my branches suffer
And my leaves don't offer
Poetry to men of song
Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this world can give
Is pollution and slow death
Oh Lord I lay me down
No life's left to be found
There's nothing left for me
Trees like me weren't meant to live
If all this earth can give
Is pollution
Oh Lord I lay me down
My branches to the ground
There's nothing left for me

I'm a leaf on a windy day
Pretty soon I'll be blown away
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
