Lyrics of
Unplugged


Don't call pretty Peggy,
She can't hear you no more

Round her back door
They say the old laughing lady
Been here before
She don't keep time
She don't count score

You can't have a cupboard
If there ain't no wall

There's no time for you to stall
They say the old laughing lady
Dropped by to call
And when she leaves
She leaves nothing at all

See the drunkard of the village
Fallin' on his feet

From the rest of his feet
He loves his old laughing lady
Because the taste is so sweet
But the laughin' lady's loving
Ain't the kind he can keep

There's a fever on the freeway
Blacks out the night

Just don't feel right
There's a rumblin' in the bedroom
And a flashin' of light
There's the old laughing lady
Everything is all right
There's the old laughing lady
Everything is all right


Oh hello Mr. Soul I droped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I'd caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face should seem so pleasin'
I'll cop out to the change but a stranger is putting the tease on

I was down on a frown when a messenger brought me a letter

In a while well the smile on my face turned to plaster
Is it strange I should change? I don't know
Is it strange I should change? I don't know

You know I lose, you know I win
You know I called for the state I'm in
It's just a game you see me play
Only real in the way that I feel from day to day

Although the answer is not unknown

No the world on a string doesn't mean a thing
Only real in the way that I feel from day to day

Aurora Borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
and the homeland we've never seen


They massacred the buffalo

(verse:)

And maybe Marlon Brando
Pocahontas

You can say the soul is gone
And the feelings just not there
Not like it was so long ago
On the empty page before you
You can fill in what you care
Try to make it good before you go
Take the simple case of the sarge

And I'm singing for the stringman
Who lately lost his wife
There is no dearer friend of mine
That I know in this life

All those things
He's a stringman

All those strings to pull

notes: Dm/G 300231

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded, hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moon beams, I know that's who you are.
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane: there's calm in your eye.
And I'm getting blown away.
There's somewhere safer where the feelings stay.
I wanna love you but I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream,

I caught you knocking at my cellar door,
I love you baby can I have some more
Oh oh the damage done


The Needle and the Damage Done : Unplugged
There is a town in north Ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there,

Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Helpless, helpless, helpless
@9
Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin' we could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon rising, let's go dancing in the light.
We know where the music's playing, lets go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you, I wanna see you dance again,
Because I'm still in love with you, on this harvest moon.

Transformer man
Transformer man
You run the show
Remote control
Direct the action with the
Push of a botton. You're a
Transformer man
Power in your hand
Transformer man
Transformer man
Transformer Man
Transformer Man
Sooner or later you'll have to see
The cause and effect
So many things still left to do
But we haven't made it yet
Every morning when I lookin your eyes
I feel electrified by you
Oh yeah

She used to work in a diner, never saw a woman look finer

I used to order just to see her float across the floor.

She grew up in a small town, never put her roots down.

Daddy kept movin so she did too.
chorus:
Somewhere on a desert highway, she rides a Harley Davidson
Her long blonde hair flyin' in the wind.
She's been runnin half of her life.
The chrome and steel she rides,

Collidin' with the very air she breathes, the air she breathes.

There's a lot to learn
For wastin' time
There's a heart that burns
There's an open mind
Look out for my love (x4)
Evii
Look out for my love
It's in your neighbourhood
I know things are gonna change
But I can't say good or bad

Look out for my love (x10)
Bm G ad infinitum :-)
We've been through some things together,
With trunks of memories still to come.
We found things to do in stormy weather.
Long may you run.

Long may you run, long may you run,
Although these changes have come.
With your chrome heart shinin'
in the sun, long may you run.

Well it was back in Blind River in nineteen sixtytwo
verse:
Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now

notes:
from the decade file by inges@??? pulled of alt.guitar.tab
as on the 'long may you run' album, with extra chorus, and an extra harp solo

From Hank to Hendrix, I walked these streets with you.
Here I am with this old guitar, doing what I do.
I always expected, that you would see me through.
I never believed in much, but I believed in you.

Can we get it together, can we still stand side by side.
Can we make it last, like a musical ride?
From Marilyn to Madonna, I always loved your smile,
