Bocephus King – Josephina (guitar chords/tab)
The entire song is A D, repeated. Use majors, and throw in some arpeggios. Lyrics: What's the point in saying I'll see you 'round some Get use to anything Get used by anyone Got use to having you Down here in exile You've got a heart of grace As big as Buddha's smile, but I'm still waiting You said you'd come for me I'm still waiting Just where I said I'd be If you don't think I'm a number one contender, Hold on They gotta name for that It's prostitution That's just a wedding ring It's no solution He's just a heart attack He's just a bank account You gotta save me soul And cast the demons out If you still want that trash can wedding Now pack your bags and you better get ready If you still think there's a chance for redemption Hold on Come back Josephina We miss you so much Out here they testify For drugs or money Too many points of view They hate your guts, honey They'll never leave this place Without a funeral I don't recall the song I know the tune though I'm still waiting You said you'd come for me I'm still waiting Just where I said I'd be If you don't think I'm a number one contender, Hold on I gotta leave this place They're killing wishes Down at the laundromat They're getting vicious They parked a Cadillac Upon my favourite dream, but There's still a little pride Left here inside of me

Playing notes
This is actually the piano part arranged for guitar.
The entire song is D E B A using this pattern: D E B A E|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| G|----7-7-----7-7-----7-7-----7-7-| D|----7-7-----7-7-----7-7-----7-7-| A|-5-------7----------------------| E|--------(0)------7-------5------| I keep on scribbling In the spare room I'm living in Body's here but I'm living in Why do I keep wasting time I keep on writing, writing But them folk ain't biting, biting Maybe the bait ain't juicy enough So I'm switching, chucking spice in, Add some flavor, up the heat, silly rhymes and three-time beats, yeah But that ain't me - nah, nah, nah It just ain't me So like me or lie me These are the words that just be true Sending them out with love and faithfully, Hopefully, they'll mean something to me cause... Life is too short to store our grudges Life is too long to make no plans, plans I'm counting up time that I ain't using (1,2,3,4...) I need a good use for all these lines, and lines, and lines, and lines And lines, and lines, and lines, and lines... [Repeat all]

There are a lot of people playing a lot of guitars in this band, so you won’t be able to play all the notes all the time. Choose one of the ones listed below or switch it up (the singer does this as you can see in the video), and have fun with it. The “B” with the E on the bottom sounds really out of place for most of the song, but you can hear it during the outro.

Oh I miss the comfort of this house
G
Where we are where we are
C
Where we are where we are
G C
The floor under our feet whispers out
G C
Come on in come on in, where it all begins
The tallest man I've ever seen afloat,
On a boat, on a boat
On a boat, on a boat
He keeps his only son close by
In a bag, in a bag
In a bag on his back
G C
Can you chase this fire away
Can you chase this fire away
We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes
But she ran down she ran down
She ran down to the house
A fox that gains our trust, but then breaks it as he walks
Away from us, away from us
Can you chase the fire away
Can you chase the fire away

In the fall, we sleep all day

Adam Cohen – “What Other Guy” (guitar chords)
Playing notes
Cohen switches things up a lot throughout the song. Don’t always play the high E string, and throw in some hammer-ons to get the sound right. The G/F#, G/B, and A7sus4 chords are transitional, so you can leave them out if you’re having trouble.

Ani DiFranco & Utah Phillips – “Korea” (bass guitar tab)
This one's really simple, but one of my favourite bass riffs. G|--4-----2-----------| D|----5-----0---2-----| A|--------------------| E|-----------------0--| -or- G|--4-----------------| D|----5---7-----------| A|----------5---7-----| E|-----------------0--|
And I watched her through the rain coming through the ceiling and thought back to Salt Lake; and my father, Sid, who ran the Capitol Theatre. It was a movie house, but it had been an old vaudeville house, and he wanted to bring live performances back to the Capitol. In 1948, he invited Marian Anderson to come and sing there. And I remembered we went to the train station to pick her up and took her to the biggest hotel in town—the Hotel Utah—but they wouldn’t let her stay there because she was black. And I remember my father’s humiliation, and her humiliation, as I saw her singing there through the rain.
And I realized right then; I said “Brenden right then, I knew that it was all wrong; that it all had to change. And that that change had to start with me.”

Heart beat sounding
Ricocheting in their cage
Thought I'd lose my balance
With the grounds bounce and sway
And all this violence
And all this goes away
And the vibes that rise like
Fireflies illuminate our play
Some light being
Pulled you up from night's party
Said clap your hands
If you think your soul is free
And the silence was astounding
'cept some "Oh Lord!! Mercy Me's"
And oh you can't stop what's comin' up
You're never gonna stop gonna live it up
And oh it's gonna drop gonna fill your cup
And oh it's gonna drop gonna fill your cup

The age of miracles
C G Bb F
The age of sound
C G Bb F
Well there's a Golden Age
C G Bb F
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round
Give it up
'stead of grabbing for decay
What we viewed as gold
I believe pollutes this space
And its grace ascending
Like a snake up your tree
Up your happy ending understanding
All your s'pposed to be
Let it move right in
Let it kiss your face
Let it sow your skin
In perpetual embrace
Like I said "Love's Light is Laughter"
Like the sun spitting happiness into the hereafter
Oh here it comes like a natural disaster
Ah blowing up like a ghetto blaster
Ah here it comes, bring it faster
Ah here it comes, bring it faster
C G Bb F
The age of miracles
C G Bb F
The age of sound
C G Bb F
Well there's a Golden Age
C G Bb F
Comin' round, comin' round, comin' round
C F
Love, don't you falter
C
Burning hearts
Dragged behind
F
The horses dancing on the altar
C
Hooves breaking Gods
F
To diamond dust and stars
And there you are...
Now we're all allowed to breathe
Walls dissolve
With the hunger and the greed
Move your body
You've got all you need
And your arms in the air stir a sea of stars
And oh here it comes and it's not so far
All light beings
Come on now make haste
Clap your hands
If you think you're in the right place
Thunder all surrounding
Aw feel it quake with the joy resounding
Palm to the palm you can feel it pounding
Never give it up you can feel it mounting
Oh its gonna drop gonna fill your cup and
Oh its gonna drop gonna fill your cup

Soso – The First of a Thousand Goodbyes (Guitar Chords/Tab)
Em Bm Am I guess I thought his clothes and personal possessions would somehow make me feel his presence. But his mittens with mismatching thumbs are dumb without his hands to animate them. I guess in the same way i thought that if i lay myself down in this field something would be revealed if i listen hard, i listen hard Things are rarely as i expect Echoing Hallmark card sentiments like “Please accept our deepest sympathies” and quotings with great regret A lifetime of generating assets can be a real pain in the ass Shifting through old boxes of shit in the garage And when old people die there are no casserole and pies at the end of the rainbow Just a lot of grown ups with wet eyes Red faces and neck ties from ten years ago On the last happy or sad occasion And don' forget to get the good shirt laundered I've squandered all my thoughtful words in the first third of my life And i said i wasn't going to write anymore songs like this I don't want to write anymore songs like this I, I know I know this the first of a thousand goodbyes I, I know I know this is the first of ten thousand goodbyes
