I found her on the night of fire and noise
Gm
Wild bells rang in a wild sky
Cm
I knew from that moment on
Gm
That I would love her till the day that I died
Cm
And I kissed away a thousand tears
Gm
My lady of the various sorrows
Cm
Some begged, some borrowed, some stolen
Gm
Some kept safe for tomorrow
Cm
On an endless night silver star spangled

She was given to me to put things right And I stacked all my accomplishments beside her And I seemed so obsolete and small I found God and all His devils insider her In my bed she cast the blizzard out A mock sun blazed upon her head So completely filled with light she was Her shadow fanged and hairy and mad Our love-lines grew hopelessly tangled And the bells from the chapel went jingle, jangle

She had a heartful of love and devotion She had a mindful of tyranny and terror Well, I try, I do, I really try But I just err, baby, I do, I error So come and find me, my darling one I'm down to the grounds, the very dregs Ah, here she comes, blocking the sun Blood running down the inside of her legs The moon in the sky is battered and mangled And the bells from the chapel went

But she's nobody's baby now I loved then, I guess I love her still Hers is the face I see when a certain mood moves in She lives in my blood and skin Her wild, feral stare, her dark hair Her winter lips as cold as stone, and I was her man Although some things love won't allow I held her hand but I don't hold it now I don't know why and I don't know how But she's nobody's baby now This is her dress that I loved best With the blue quilted violets across the breast And these are my many letters Torn to pieces by her long-fingered hand I was her cruel-hearted man And though I've tried to lay her ghost down Well she's moving through me, even now I don't know why and I don't know how But she's nobody's baby now She's nobody's baby now Nobody's baby now She's nobody's baby now

Red Right Hand

Gm7 350000

Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom as it shifts and cracks
Dm
Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires (
E

Am
Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks
E7
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
D7
Am
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul But there won't be a single thing that you can do He's a God, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a red right hand You don't have no money he'll get you some You don't have no car he'll get you one You don't have no self respect you feel like an insect Well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he comes Through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum A shadow is cast wherever he stands Stacks of green paper in his red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen Hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off He's a ghost, he's a God, he's a man, he's a guru You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan Designed and directed by his red right hand

Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins

Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
C
Am
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins
G
I let love in
Am
I let love in The door it opened just a crack, but Love was shrewd and bold My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in Well I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized But never has my tormentor come in such a cunning disguise I let love in I let love in I let love in I let love in

O Lord, tell me what I done, please don't leave me here alone
Dm
Am
Where are my friends? My friends are gone
Dm
O Lord, tell me what I done, please don't leave me here alone
Dm
Am
Where are my friends? My friends are gone I let love in I let love in So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your door And the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned Far worse to be Love's lover than the lover that Love has scorned I let love in I let love in Yeah, I let love in I let him in I let love in, yeah I let love in I let him in I let love in
