I knew a girl with sad blue eyes

But at the feast I lost my psychic prize

I did forget what the tarot maid did say
C Am Em C
I burn today, I burn today
[verse 2]

Our house was filled with many birds

She lay her cards just to see what she would see
Down by the water you will find your happys days

No snow on me then so he said thence forth
I let snow fall on a frozen yesterday

If my head is hanging down
I feel her arms and her legs are all around
And we make love beside the waterway
I burn today I burn today

Yes today I will burn
For the times I did not learn
[verse
Behold the rose of Jericho
How many lives I really do no know
Though with the rain I know it will return
C Am Em C Am F C
Today I burn, Today I burn

Lone Child
[intro]

A--2---------0--
E-----0---2----- (repeat til end)
Bm
I'm debating whether the F# in the chorus is an F#m. Seems like it could swing either way.
Maybe I need to listen through headphones. But, opinions welcome. As are corrections
in case I goofed somewhere.
And also playing a G/F# on the word "Lone" makes for a good walk down to the E minor.

Can we leave now this dusty space, can we have a little fun?

I was standin' at the podium, though I was a little drunk
D Bm E
To the darkened auditorium, I delivered my funk
A C#m
You were standing at the edge of the light, tryin' not to be too impressed
D Bm E
I was tryin for the sake of the night, not to be too depressed
A C#m7
I called you on the telephone, from a hotel in Beverly Hills
D Bm E
And, though, I was scared to the bone, you were givin' me thrills

[verses]
E B
Georgie Porgie used to get real high
C#m A*
He used to kiss the world till it made him cry
A-5 E
He was under the bottle's command
E B
But one winter he got it together and
C#m A*
Happiness came with the warmer weather
A-5 E
Laying across all the land
E B
He had a love she also liked to drink
C#m A
She got it together but you know what I think?
A-5 E
I think she was still feeling glum
E B
She took a gun and she shot him in the head
C#m A
She shot herself and so they were wed
A-5 E
As the air conditioner hummed
[chorus]
E B
Sing for joy
C#m A
Sing for laughs
A-5 E
Sing for joy
E B
Sing for joy
C#m A
If nothing else
A-5 E
Sing for joy
[verses] - same exact progression throughout
Mamma killed a pumpkin, she thought it was a sweet
She put it on the table but it was still meat
She forgot the sugar again
Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes
He said "Gimme grilled cheese and paperbag French fries"
See, he forgot the sugar again
We had a wander seven years out West
It wasn't exactly the wilderness
But I felt like an Israelite
Mamma is a gypsy, she'll never find her town
Daddy went to sea but the boat went down
And the flames shot into the night
[chorus]
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
[verses]
I know a girl who lives on the hill
I don't know if her sister will
or I was thinking about her best friend
Oh listen to me I'm a desperate boy
I think I better have a sing for joy
And I guess this has just got to end
I'll get away in my get away car
Every now and then I'll send my regards
From a payphone down in the flats
I'm sorry for the love
I'm sorry for the pain
I'll say I'm sorry baby again and again
I'm sorry we're joining the stats
[chorus]
Sing for joy
Sing for laughs
Sing for joy
Sing for joy
If nothing else
Sing for joy
