something's got a hold on you

and it's pushing me aside

see it stretch on forever
C C7
I know I'm right
F
for the first time in my life
G
that's why I tell you
C
you'd better be home soon
stripping back the coats
of lies and deceiption
back to nothingness
like a week in the desert
I know I'm right
for the first time in my life
that's why I tell you
C Em7/B*
you'd better be home soon
Bb D G
so don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong
Bb A7 D
cos when you get back home maybe I'll be gone
INSTR. BREAK:
C Am Em G
C Am Em F Bb7*
it would cause me pain
if we were to end it
but I could start again
you can depend on it
C C7
I know I'm right

that's why I tell you
Am7 D

that's why I tell you
you'd better be home soon

Can't Carry On
(N. Finn)
NOTE:
-- Another of these songs where, although I've given chords, what Neil
Finn is playing guitar-wise is a chord with different, little fills in
between the lyric lines.
Bm
Why do I kid myself
Why do I scream for pleasure
Em F# Bm
It's four in the morning should know better
But she can weave a spell
Want it to last forever
Em F# Bm
Making me feel like somebody special
CHORUS
A F# G A
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
F# G A
Before it gets too late (just go to sleep)
F# G A
Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)
F
Well here we go again
Though I look everywhere
I never seem to find it
Always a shadow around a corner
Drown it in alcohol
Stuck in the elevator
Hard to remember in the morning
Chorus
Tell you about myself
If you're in the mood to listen
Baby you don't know who you're kissing
This is a lonely world
You are a strange companion
When you get what you wanted
You want to leave
A F# G A
Honestly I want to free myself
F# G A
From the burden of inaction
F# G A
Honestly I want to raise myself
F# G A
To any plane I can imagine
Honestly I want to free myself
From the burden of inaction
Honestly I want to raise myself
To any plane I can imagine
B E B
Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep)
E B
Before it gets too late
E B
Doing damage to my brain (just go to sleep)
E B
Well here we go again
E B E B
(just go to sleep) I want to free myself
E B E B
(just go to sleep) I want to raise myself
Closing:
B A G F# G A

Don't Dream It's Over
(N. Finn)
NOTES:
-- Neil's guitar is tuned down one half-step for this song. If
you're going to try and play along, you'll have to do the same.
-- For all you bar chord haters, this is one song you won't like. Every
chord is a bar chord. of course, you don't -have- to play it that way.
the first chord is on the 7th fret, second is on the 4th, etc. if you
are having any difficulties with these chords, contact me (marck@nwu.edu).
INTRO: E(9)* E9* E7sus*
E(9) C#(9)*
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
A G#
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
E(9) C#(9)
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
A
But you'll never see the end of the road
G#
While you're traveling with me
CHORUS
A B
Hey now, hey now
E(9) C#(9)
Don't dream it's over
A B
Hey now, hey now
E(9) C#(9)
When the world comes in
A B
They come, they come
E(9) C#(9)
To build a wall between us
A B
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
CHORUS
(Chords under Hammond organ solo: E(9) C#(9) A G#)

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win

Hole in the River
(N. Finn/ E. Rayner)
NOTES:
-- For the intro, if you sit on an Em chord on the 7th fret (X79987),
you can find your way around the main melody line of the keyboard that
Eddie Rayner is playing. (The guitar part at that point is just doing
that damped string/percussive thing, so when playing it alone on an
acoustic, it helps to play around on the Em.)
-- The psychedelic instrumental break is composed entirely on C#m (a
last-minute idea from Nick Seymour that saved this song from being
scrapped.) All the fun stuff is going on in the keyboards, while the
guitar just sits on that one chord. I would suggest creating a guitar
solo for this section (which is what Neil does when it's performed
live).
INTRO: Keyboard doodling around Em
C D A Em
There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
C D A Em
From the land of the living to the air and sky
C D A Em
Left her car by the river left her shoes beside
C D Am
Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ...
Am/G* Am/F#*
Dreaming of glory
B Am Am/G Am/F#
Miles above the mountains and plains
B Am Am/G Am/F#
Free at last
We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I
The sound of desperate breathing her fear inside us all
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return
[INSTR. BREAK: Keyboards based around C#m chord]
