INSIDE MY SKIN THERE IS THIS PLACE

IT TWISTS AND TURNS IT BREEDS AND ACHES

INSIDE MY HEART THERE´S AN EMPTY ROOM

IT´S WAITING FOR LIGHTNING IT´S WAITING FOR YOU

AND I AM WANTING AND I AM NEEDING YOU HERE

MUSCLE AND SINEW VELVET AND STONE

THIS VESSEL IS HAUNTED IT CREAKS AND MOANS

MY BONES CALL TO YOU IN THEIR SEPERATE SKIN

I MAKE MYSELF TRANSLUCENT TO LET YOU IN, FOR

I AM WANTING AND I AM NEEDING YOU HERE

THERE IS THIS HUNGER THIS RESTNESSLESS INSIDE OF ME

AND IT KNOWS THAT YOU´RE NO STRANGER YOU´RE MY GRAVITY

MY HANDS WILL ADORE YOU THROUGH ALL DARKNESS AIM

THEY WILL LAY YOU OUT IN MOONLIGHT AND REINVENT YOUR NAME

FOR I AM WANTING YOU

AND I AM NEEDING YOU HERE

I NEED YOU NEAR

WORDS & MUSIC : JEWEL TRANSCRIBED BY OLA SVÄRDH

She uses the D tuning on this song.

But I´ve picked it out with the normal tuning.

BARCELONA WHERE THE WINDS ALL BLEW

AND THE CHURCHES DON´T HAVE WINDOWS BUT THE GRAVEYARDS DO

ME AND MY SHADOW ARE WRESTLING AGAIN

LOOK OUT STRAIGHT THERE´S A DARK CLOUD MOVING IN

BUT IF YOU COULD HEAR THE VOICE IN MY HEART IT WOULD TELL YOU

WON´T SOMEBODY PLEASE HOLD ME, RELEASE ME SHOW ME

LET ME LOOSE

FLYYYYYYYYYYYYY,

LET MY FLYYYYYYYYYYY,

LET ME FLY

SUPER PARANOID,

I´M BLENDING, I´M BLURRING, I AM BLEEDING INTO THE SCENERY

LOVING SOMEONE ELSE IS ALWAYS SO MUCH EASIER

BUT I HOLD MYSELF HOSTAGE IN THE MIRROR

BUT IF YOU COULD HEAR THE VOICE IN MY HEART IT WOULD TELL YOU

I´M TIRED OF FEELING THIS WAY

GOD, WON´T YOU PLEASE HOLD ME, RELEASE ME

SHOW ME THE MEANING OF MERCY

LET ME LOOSE

LET ME FLYYYYYYYY,

LET ME FLYYYYYYYY,

I WON´T BE HELD DOWN, I WON´T BE HELD BACK

I WILL LEAD WITH MY FAITH

BUT DON´T WORRY MOTHER IT´S NO LONGER MY GRAVITY

HOLD ME, RELEASE ME

SHOW ME THE MEANING OF MERCY

LET ME FLYYYYYYYY,

LET ME FLYYYYYYYY,

LET ME FLYYYYYYYY

When you find yourself falling down

Your hopes in the sky but your heart like grape gum on (the) ground

And you try to scrape yourself up

But you keep seeping out like cheap gin through a broken cup

And you try to find yourself

In the abstractions of religion and the cruelty of everyone else

And when your standing in deep water

And your bailing yourself out with a straw

When your drowning in deep water

And you wake up making love to a wall

Well, its these little times that help to remind

It's nothing without love

Em C D G G-Cadd9 (repeat x2)

Love, love, love its nothing without love

Verse 2

When you realize your only friend

Has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end

And you wake up to see all your dreams have been compromised

Our standard of living somehow got stuck on survive

That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away

Cause the chains that once held us are only the chains which we've made

We sacrifice our pride, we sacrifice our health

We must demand more not from each other, but more from ourselves

Chours:

DO YOU

WORDS & MUSIC : JEWEL TRANSCRIBED BY OLA SVÄRDH

INTRO

HEY, YOU SAY YOU LIKE THE WAY THE COWBOYS TIP THEIR HATS AND SAY

"HOW´S IT GOIN´ MA ÁM?"

BUT YOU´RE NEVER QUITE CLEAR IF THEIR GLARES ARE SINCERE

OR REALLY ONLY JUST SECONDHAND

TO YOU IT´S ALL ROSES, IT´S A LAVENDER HAZE

THE MAN IS A MARVE, BUT IT´S A SHAME ABOUT HIS BRAINS

BUT THAT´S OK YOU SAY "HE´S GOT STRAIGHT TEETH AND IT´S GOOD SEX"

CHORUS

YOU LOOK TO THE SKY

YOU LOOK TO THE MAN

YOU CLAIM INNOCENCE AND NOT TO UNDERSTAND

OR DO YOU

DO YOU?

THERE´S A BIG MAN WEARING A WHITE SUIT AND PATENT LEATHER SHOES

HE WANTS TO TAKE HIS MONKEYS TO SEE THE KIDS AT THE ZOO

´CAUSE THE GYPSY ON THE CORNER SAID,

"HEY, MISTER YOU CAN´T LOSE"

AND IT´S YOUR FIRST DAY AT THE TRACK

YOU FEEL THAT HEAT ON YOUR BACK

WE ALL WANT TO FIND A WAY TO BEAT THE SYSTEM

FIND SOME RHYTHM IN THE MADNESS

CHORUS

GET DOWN ON YOU KNEES AND PRAY

SAY, "I´LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, GOD

JUST LET ME HAVE MY WAY"

WELL WILL YOU

WILL YOU?

BRIGDE

COME ON ALL YOU MERRY MEN

RALLY YOUR CRY

DANCE WITH THE DEVIL FOR TOMORROW WE´LL SURELY

HEY, HEY BLOW THE MEN DOWN

YOU WITH ALL YOUR CIGARETTES AND COOL STARES

FILLED WITH BLANK GLARES AND LOADED REGRETS

JUST LIKE THE GIRLS TODAY WITH NOTHING TO SAY

NO MORE PIGTAILS AND PONY RIDES

THEY SIP ON LATTES

AND HAVE THEIR EYES ON A BIGGER PRIZE

CHORUS

WE SHAKE OUR FISTS AND SAY,

"WELL GOOD GOLLY WE´RE MAD

THAT GOD KILLS CHILDREN WITH OUR VERY OWN HANDS"

WE CLAIM INNOCENCE AND NOT TO UNDERSTAND

OR DO WE

DO WE?

BRIGDE

COME ON ALL YOU MERRY MEN

RALLY YOUR CRY

DANCE WITH THE DEVIL FOR TOMORROW WE´LL SURELY

HEY, HEY BLOW THE MEN DOWN

BLOW THE MEN DOWN

HEY

Down so long

VERSE1

SUN SETS ´CROSS THE OCEAN

I´M A THOUSAND MILES FROM ANYWHERE

MY POCKETBOOK AND MY HEART BOTH JUST GOT STOLEN

AND THE SUN ACT LIKE SHE DON´T EVEN CARE

THE WIND BLOWS COLD WHEN YOU REACH THE TOP

IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONES FACE IS STUCK TO THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE

I GOT A PLASTIC JESUS, A CORDLESS TELEPHONE FOR EVERY CORNER OF MY ROOM

GOT EVERYBODY BUT YOU TELLING ME WHAT TO DO

CHORUS

BUT I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOOONG

OOH, IT CAN´T BE LONGER STIIIIIIIIIILL

I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOOONG

THAT THE END MUST BE DRAWING NEAR

I LOOK TO EVERYBODY BUT ME TO ANSWER MY PRAYERS

TIL I SAW AN ANGEL IN A BATHROOM WHO SAID SHE SAW NO ONE WORTH SAVING ANYWHERE

AND A BLIND MAN ON THE CORNER SAID IT´S SIMPLE, LIKE FLIPPING A COIN

DON´T MATTER WHAT SIDE IT LANDS ON IF IT´S SOMEONE ELSE´S DIME

CHORUS

BUT I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOONG

OOH, IT CAN´T BE LONGER STIIIIIIIIIIILL

I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

THAT THE END MUST BE DRAWING NEAR

BRIDGE (JUST DRUMS)

I TAKE A TRIP, I CATCH A TRAIN, I CATCH A PLANE

I GOT A TICKET IN MY HAND, AND THE A FAT MAN TAKES MY MONEY

AND LIKE CATTLE WE ALL STAND

CHORUS

BUT WE´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOONG

OOH, IT CAN´T BE LONGER STIIIIIIIIIIILL

I´VE BEEN DOWN SO LOOOOOOOOOOONG

THAT THE END MUST BE

I KNOW THE END MUST BE

OH I KNOW THE END MUST BE DRAWING NEAR

ENTER FROM THE EAST

"PLAY THE VERSE LIKE THIS"

I WENT OUT A-WANDERING BENEATH AN UNKNOWN SKY

THE HEAVENS ALL SHOOK VIOLENTLY HE CAUGHT MY EYE

STRANGE FRUIT FELL IT STRUCK ME TO THE CORE

MY HEART BECAME A SINGLE FLAME IT WASTED NOTHING MORE

"PLAY THE CHORUS LIKE THIS"

CHORUS

STRANGER, ENTER FROM THE EAST

STRANGER, STEP INSIDE THIS PLACE

OH, AND OWN ME, OWN ME

THE CLOCK BECAME A BULLET HOLE CRUEL AND UNKIND

IT HURT ME WITH IT´S SECOND HAND ALONE ANOTHER NIGHT

CHORUS

STRANGER, ENTER FROM THE EAST

STRANGER, STEP INSIDE THIS PLACE

"PLAY THE BRIDGE LIKE THIS"

BRIDGE

BLUE IS THAT YOU WELL, DON´T BOTHER KNOCKING ON MY DOOR THIS TIME

BLUE GO BE TRUE FOR SOMEONE ELSE THERE´S NO ROOM INSIDE THIS HEART OF MINE

MY HEART HAS FOUR EMPTY ROOMS

THREE WAIT FOR LIGHTNING AND ONE WAITS FOR YOU

I MUST HAVE YOU ALL TO MYSELF FEEL THE FULL WEIGHT OF YOUR SKIN

I´LL HOLLOW OUT MY INSIDES TO PLACE YOU IN

CHORUS

STRANGER, ENTER FROM THE EAST

STRANGER, STEP INSIDE THIS PLACE

OH, AND OWN ME, OWN ME

Fat Boy

(aka- Fragile Flame)

by Jewel Kilcher

Tabbed by Jeff Kokosinski

Open Db or D tuning DADF#Ad or for open Db DbAbDbFAbDb

the opening and verse progressions are pretty simple. You are moving only on

the fth string the rest is open.

this is also for the intro and verses until

"he feels little inside and" is barre chord 5th fret appreggio string #'s

3,4,5,6,5,4,3 2X's

Then slide this up to the 7th fret barre chord :777777 for "filled with pride

oh fragile"

then back to 5th barre :555555 strings #'2 1,2,3,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,2 repeat

then open same pattern :000000

that's it for the verse and for the chorus

BRIDGE

similar picking style to the intro/verse part still using that 5th string now

alternating between 4th and 2nd frets

(4)hush (2)sleep don't (4)think just (2) eat (4)you're daddy's little

(2)boy

(4)youre mamma's pride and (2) joy you know she

picking pattern

"holds you" same with 7th barre

3rd verse follows then chorus to "Oh Fragile Flame" which is 5th barre with

1,2,3,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,3,2 pattern to open :000000 same pattern

ends on hamonic 12 or 5 (I prefer 5)

CAPO 1

VERSE 1

If I could tell the world just one thing

It would be that we're all OK

And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful

And useless in times like these

I won't be made useless

I won't be idle with despair

I will gather myself around my faith

For light does the darkness most fear

CHORUS

My hands are small, I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

And I am never broken

VERSE 2

Poverty stole your golden shoes

But it didn't steal your laughter

And heartache came to visit me

But I knew it wasn't ever after

We'll fight, not out of spite

For someone must stand up for what's right

'Cause where there's a man who has no voice

There ours shall go singing

CHORUS

My hands are small I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

And I am never broken

BRIDGE

In the end only kindness matters

In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

CHORUS

My hands are small I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

And I am never broken

My hands are small I know

But they're not yours, they are my own

But they're not yours, they are my own

And I am never broken

We are never broken

OUTRO

We are God's eyes For this section, keeping with the rythm,

God's hands just keep repeating the

transition from:

God's mind

We are God's eyes Em --- C

God's hands

God's heart and fade out.

We are God's eyes

God's hands

God's eyes

We are God's hands

We are God's hands

Innocence Maintained

by Jewel Kilcher

Innocence Maintained:

Ophelia drowned in the water

Crushed by her own weight

Hitler loved the blue eyed boys

and it drove him to hate

Birds always grow silent before the night descends

Cause nature has a funny way of breaking what does not bend

I saw a man with a hole he could not fill

He couldn't make the world work for him and didn't work and still (??)

There was a hole inside his soul (same as verse 1)

that whiskey could not stillSo he found himself a girl to love

while babies choked in the windowsill

We've made houses for hatred

It's time we make a place where

People's souls may be seen and made safe

be careful with each other these fragile flames

Innocence can't be lost it just needs to be maintained

Life Uncommon

by Jewel Kilcher

Transcribed by Rok Osojnik (rok.osojnik@siol.net)

Song is written in standard tuning.

Sign ' implies barre chords that are used only in intro.

Chords used:

A' D' E' A D E F#m

A' D'

Don't worry mother, it'll be alright

A D'

And don't worry sister, say your prayers and sleep tight

A' E'

It'll be fine lover of mine

A'

It'll be just fine

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend you strength to that which you wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And you shall lead a life uncommon

I've heard your anguish

I've heard your hearts cry out

We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out

set down your chains, till only faith remains

Set down your chains

And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend your strength to that

which you wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And you shall lead a life uncommon

There are plenty of people who pray for peace

But if praying were enough it would have come to be

Let your words enslave no one

and the heavens will hush themselves to hear

Our voices ring out clear

with sounds of freedom

sounds of freedom

Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way

there is a new army coming and we are armed with faith

And to live, we must give

To live

And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And we shall lead...

And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom

No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from

Fill your lives with love and bravery

And we shall lead a life uncommon
