DON'T BE ALARMED
Don't be alarmed, it's just distant church bells
a new morning is warming up the day
no need to saddle up, battle traffic back to work
young birds are singing brand new morning tunes
Don't be alarmed, it's just the sun's outstretched arms
Don't be alarmed, it’s just coffee brewing
whole garden is sippin’ on cool morning dew
step back from gears that grind us through afternoons
and let the day blow where it may
Don't be alarmed, it's just the sun's outstretched arms
We're far from tomorrow's alarms
welcomed, warmed with outstretched arms

RESTLESS SUN
You rise and I wake up
You warm the air I breathe until I open up
with a glow on my face
the whole morning leans into the day
You rise I sigh
I reach over and hit the alarm
Restless Sun... you're working day is never done
I don't know you, but I know what it is to behold you
caress the dawn and turn on the sky
peeking over the hills,
with a grin that lights up the horizon
A father smiles his children slowly rise
a spark of light in every eye
Restless Sun...you're working day is never done

HUNG OVER ON YOU
G7 A7 D7 G
G A D G
When I woke up, first thing I did was knock over last night's cup
G A D G
A cool glass of fantasy'd be nice, but I'm drinking a tall glass, of harsh reality on ice
G A G A
A G
All my dreams, are fading faster than my jeans
D C A
ripped out holes in the knees
A G
sun is high, I'm dry on the line by noon
D C A
hung over on you
D C A
hung over on you
G7 A7 D7 G
I don't fit in, to yesterday's clothes, I am still wearin' thin
too close to tell, after one night of heaven, it's hard to stand the hell

Pinin' for Colorado
D
slowly disappear in my rearview
Bm G D A
for the first time in days the sky was clear
D
front range clouds on the horizon
Bm G D A G
bad reflection of love left melting in snow capped mountains
Bm A D
all alone and stoned
G
on a long kansas road
Bm A G
and pinin' for Colorado
Bm A D G
back on the road goin nowhere slow
Bm A G
and pinin' for Colorado
SOLO:

/ Bm / A / D / G / Bm / A / G / G / X2
D
Coming down from mountain majesty
Bm G D A
a warm wind flees a western storm
D
strong currents run in high places
Bm G D A G
and heaven opens wide this close to the sky

ONE STEP
intro: DGDA
D
Just stepped out of my old blue car
G D
my back is sore and my eyes are red
G Bm A D
but there's a party in your backyard and a poundin' in my heart
D
crossed this country on tired tires
G D
driven like a man inspired
G Bm A
to see your smile at the end of my miles
D
and now there's one step
G
between me and the girl that I came here for
D A
one step between love and dream
Bm G D
and i gotta know what that look in your eye means
instrumental: D G D A Bm G D
D
i have wondered many times
G D G
is that sparkle in your eyes for me
Bm A D
let me see are you a lover true
D
here i am there she is
G D
oh my God it comes to this
G Bm
one dance left to ask her
A
one chance to know her answer

Sunny Day Blues
G7 G
When you're all wet with your own sweat
G7 G
and it's too dry to cry
F C G G7
drunk on the sun, high on the blue sky
F
pop the top off another bottle of booze
C
take a deep drink of them sunny day blues
G7 G
All the fog melts away
G7
in untamed blaze of day
F C G
an open invitation to love and play
F
rays of golden hair light the view
C C7 G
with eyes the color of sunny day blue
G7 G
shy girl with the sad eyes sparkling when she walks by
F C G
step outside and find somewhere to ride
F
maybe some honey lit your fuse
C
left you to burn out on them sunny day blues
F C
TAG: rows and rows of people on the loose under a whole sky full of sunny day blues

Guilty As Charged

GUILTY AS CHARGED
Oh my, ain't it rough
when all you need, just ain't enough
the more you want it before you know it
got another need to feed
He was guilty as charged For living hard
I got shakes And I get the chills
And who knows what can cure those ills
The seal was broken,
and the antidote was stolen
He was guilty as charged For living hard
If he never sees her no more
can he still hear her roar
does her taste still float
in the back of the throat

Shady Side of the Street
B7 Em
Em Am Em B7 Em Am B7 Em
B7 Em
Em Am
I keep my blinds rolled up
Em B7
and my windows open wide
Em Am
even though I got
B7 Em
a few skeletons to hide
Em Am
we try to keep cool
Em B7
easy as a breeze
Em Am
I'm gonna do
B7 Em
exactly as I please
Em Am Em
we live on the shady side of the street
G B7
on the edge where the light and darkness meet
C G
and everybody here wants to keep out of the heat
C B7 Em
on the shady side of the street
the people on my side, don't mind if I
pickin' on my porch, laughin loud and getting high
don't know bout them over there
I cough at their second hand stares
I'd offer them a front porch seat, but
they don't like my kind
we live on the shady side of the street
where the deadend people of the world meet
and everybody here wants to keep out of the heat
on the shady side of the street

Slow Train

slow train
the pain and the pleasure, mixed up together
til it’s hard telling one from the other
it’s a slow train coming
but it’s picking up speed
while there’s fuel to burn and a fire to feed
somewhere a fool is runnin,
after the setting sun in a race that can’t be won
the pain and the pleasure, closer than ever
find themselves wrapped all around each other
