Track 1 - The Only Life Gloria Knows
CAPO: 6th Fret
[Verse 1]
C G Am F
The smoke on the street from the hamburger stand, it's
C G F
Hurting her nose and her eyes
C G Am F
Each doorway's a bedroom for Gloria now
C G F
And it's there that one day she may die
[Verse 2]
C G Am F
She sells her papers without ( ? ? ) off her
C G F
She sleeps every night in her clothes
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Verse 3]
C G Am F
Drinking, she'll dance for the man on her own, or
C G F
She'll go for a ride in their car
C G Am F
And the seat's nice and warm when you've stood for so long
C G F
And those men ain't so bad before dark
[Verse 4]
C G Am F
But they never pay much and their touch is so rough
C G F
They say, she's no life in her soul
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Verse 5]
C G Am F
Her days on the street wear the shoes from her feet
C G F
And the wind puts a knife in her arm
C G Am F
She grabs at his throat and refuses a coat
C G F
From a young man who means her no harm
[Verse 6]
C G Am F
She loved to chat, if the kids will chat back
C G F
But most of her time she's alone
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Instrumental]
C G Am F C G F (2x)
[Verse 7]
C G Am F
She misses her brother, can't speak to her mother
C G F
Since her own father told her to go
C G Am F
Evening is falling, she thinks about calling
C G F
But something inside her says 'no'
[Verse 8]
C G Am F
She spends her loose change on a bottle again
C G F
Drinks it all down in one go
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
[Verse 9]
C G Am F
There's trouble in life between husband and wife
C G F
And the bad days can bring you right down
C G Am F
But be sure that you know where the little ones go
C G F
And always have enough love to go 'round
[Verse 10] (fade to end)
C G Am F
Gloria sleeps in a doorway
C G F
And the wind bites her fingers and toes
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows
C G Am F
Gloria's out on the street tonight
C G F
It's the only life Gloria knows

Track 2 - Of Course I Will
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
F C G (2x)
[Verse 1]
C
She had a stomach every bit as flat as the table that she danced on
A tattoo just below the knee
G C
She could whistle every tune that I could play for her on the jukebox
And then she'd dance for me
[Chorus]
F C
She was looking for an Irish lover
G
With a twenty dollar bill
F C
She asked me to show her the moon
G F C G
I said, of course I will
[Verse 2]
C
Perhaps I was mistaken, she was cold, but I was taken in by her
The way she looked at me
G C
She sat by the piano with a shot-glass in her hand, and then she
Turned and spoke to me
[Chorus]
F C
She asked me if I knew old Logan
G
I said, I know him well
F C
She asked me to show her the moon
G F
I said, of course I will
[Bridge]
C G F
She moved on up on the piano stool
C G
Inviting me to sit down on it
F C G
She said, "I just won this piano in a poker game
F C G F
How'd you like to be the first song I write on it?"
[Chorus]
C
I was her Irish lover
G
I had a twenty dollar bill
F C
She asked me to show her the moon
G
I said, of course I will
[Instrumental]
F C G (4x)
[Verse 3]
She said I made her smile, she let me stay with her awhile
C G
And with my (? Code Michael red I said?)
She gave me tea, she gave me breakfast
C F
A book about some captain's (?Marmolet?)
[Chorus]
C
I was her Irish lover
G
With a twenty dollar bill
F C
She asked me to show her the moon
G
I said, of course I will
F C
She asked me to show her the moon
G
I said, of course I will
F C
She asked me to show her the moon
G
I said, of course I will
[Outro] (fade to end)
F C G (2x)

Track 3 - Irish Eyes
[Intro]
C Dm Em F C G
[Verse 1]
C Dm
John's family, it was everything
Em F
And the children were his life
C G
And the neighbours always spoke of John so well
C Dm
For once the cards stacked in his favour
Em F
And the offer came his way
C G C G
Twenty pounds for one night's work, he might as well
[Verse 2]
C
John drove his lorry down an empty road
F C G
From Carryduff through Saintfield, Tollymore
C Dm
But they found poor John's body
Em F
On the side of the lonely road
C G C Dm Em F C G
And the neighbours heard the police tap on the door
[Verse 3]
C Dm
Well, the police they took the phone call
Em F
It said there'd been some mistake
C G
And apologies were sent to all concerned
C Dm
Two hooded men had stopped John's lorry
Em F
On the side of the lonely road
C G C G
But their bullet had been meant for someone else
[Verse 4]
C
John's family tried to understand it
F C G
They prayed in church for strength to pull them through
C Dm
But they'd been seeing lorries
Em F
On the sides of the lonely roads
C G C G
From Nineteen Sixty-Nine to Ninety-Two
[Chorus]
C
This ain't no precious song about Ireland
F C
So don't you dare mistake it
G
For the ones that you whistle when you're going home
C Dm
It's not all leaving from some harbour
Em F
It's not all step into my parlour
C G C Dm Em F C G
Why should Irish Eyes keep smiling through it all?
[Verse 5]
C Dm
Well, there were investigations
Em F
Five minutes on the news
C G
And the mass card wore a picture of John's face
C Dm
There was outrage
Em F
Two letters in the paper
C G C G
And both sides of the fence, they sensed disgrace
[Verse 6]
C
And sure enough there were elections
F C G
Familiar cowboys tried to steal the show
C Dm
Men spoke of changing attitudes
Em F
While thirteen tired platitudes
C G C G
Pushed hope and poor John's lorry off the road
[Chorus]
C
This ain't no precious song about Ireland
F C
So don't you dare mistake it
G
For the ones that you whistle when you're going home
C Dm
It's not all leaving from some harbour
Em F
It's not all step into my parlour
C G
Why should Irish Eyes keep smiling?
C G C Dm Em F C G
Why should Irish Eyes keep smiling through it all?

Track 4 - Smooth Old Talk
*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Anthony John Clarke - Smooth Old Talk
[Intro]
D7 G C G D7 G
[Verse 1]
D7
I write songs about politicians
G C
Corruption and sedition
G D7
My songs they tiptoe over the line
G D7
My lecture in aptness
G C
My political incorrectness
G D7 G
Mea culpa, all these songs, they are mine
[Verse 2]
B7
I may reach a crescendo
Em
With a touch of innuendo
A D
I throw in an item of news
G D7
There'll be songs of deep depression
G C
Like a karaoke session
G D7 G
And I might do a song about you
[Interlude]
C G D7 G
[Verse 3]
D7
There'll be one for my friend, Lorna
G C
She lives just 'round the corner
G D7
Now Lorna only ever listens to the blues
G D7
I have one for a friend in Chester
G C
Whose particular friend, Lester
G D7 G
Has just left him to go back on the booze
[Verse 4]
B7
This over way inquisition
Em
I'm an incompetent magician
A D
I fail to saw my woman in two
G D7
While acting arty-tarty
G D7
At some late-night tinker's party
G D7 G
So I might do this song about you
[Chorus 1]
D7 G
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
D7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
G
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
C
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
G D7 G
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
C
Was it some smooth old talk?
G
Or did you just take the dog for a big long walk?
C D7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
Oh no, you would not do that
G
I want to know, I want to know
C
I want to know, I want to know
G D7 G
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Instrumental]
C G D7 G (3x)
[Verse 5]
D7
Singing on right, for nada
G C
Being seven years old in Ireland
G D7
And I won the great big kish and romance
G D7
That time in the café on the coast road
G C
When delicious Sister Mary Joseph
G D7 G B7
Sidled up to me and begged me for a dance (there ye are)
[Verse 6]
There was the pretty little acrobat
Em
She gave me peppermint tea and a pretty little hat
A D
She did fifteen cartwheels on my floor
G D7
That's a topic not too cosy
G D7
For a big jack-queen called Rosy
G D7 G
Who's never heard or cried, "Collect them all!"
[Chorus 1]
D7 G
But I want to know what brings you here tonight
D7
I want to know what brings you here tonight
G
You see, I'm up here, you're over there
C
Well, you could be home in your easy-chair
G D7 G
I want to know what brings you here tonight
[Chorus 2]
C
Was it some smooth old talk?
G
Hey, take the dog for a walk
C D7
Or did you just sneak out behind your wife?
N.C.
For the fifth time this week, baby
G
I want to know, I want to know
C
I want to know for sure
G D7 G C G D7
I want to know what brings you here tonight

G D Em G C D G {2x)
[Verse 1]
D Em G C
The bar was pretty early and the storefronts, they were still lit up
D G
I took the time to sit with you awhile
D Em G C
We talked about those Dixie Chicks and movies from the 'sixties
D G
We ordered some food, relish on the side
[Verse 2]

I hung on every word that you said to me

I really hoped you end up here
[Interlude]
Am G D Am G D G
[Verse 3]
D Em G
You looked about, the clock above the powder room
C D G
You tapped your feet in time to Johnny Saint
D Em G C
A little mirror in your purse, you dropped it, I caught it
D G
You fixed your makeup and combed your hair
[Verse 4]
C G D G
One second you were sitting here and the next you were gone

He spun you 'round the floor without a care
G D Em G
I didn't exactly know where you were going to
C D G
But I really hoped to join you there
[Chorus]
Am G D
If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you

If I'd only learned to dance, we'd be away

If I'd only learned to dance, you would be lying in these arms tonight

That'll have to be another day
[Instrumental]
Am G D (4x) G
[Bridge]
D
I heard it, so the story goes
Em G C
We shine the shoes and wear the clothes
D G
Slick your hair back, fine
D
The music slips into your soul
Em G C
Be it New Age waltzes, Rock 'n' Roll
D G
The body moves in time
[Verse 5]
C G D G
I tell myself each morning, "Well, I'll do that"
C G D
I tell myself one million times a day
G D/F# Em D C G
If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you
G D/F# Em D C G
If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you
G D/F# Em C D G
If I'd only learned to dance, you could be lying in these arms tonight
[Chorus]

If I'd only learned to dance, I could be loving you

If I'd only learned to dance, we'd be away

If I'd only learned to dance, you could be lying in these arms tonight

Track 6 - Between Midnight And Blue
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
Em C Em C Em
[Verse 1]
Asus2 D
I believe in love, affection
D/F# Bm G
I now believe in you and me
Em C
I believe that words with music
B7 Em
Can make all blind men see
[Verse 2]
Asus2 D
And though I can't say that I would ever die for love
D/F# Bm G
Or put mine up for sale
Em C
How come I twist and turn in all directions
B7 Em
Must be that Libran Scale
[Verse 3]
Asus2 D
If I have no need for locks upon my door
D/F# Bm G
How come I fear the open sea?
Em
Don't you just love coincidence
C B7 Em
Blues songs, with many, the key of D
[Verse 4]
Asus2
The sweetest picture, should I ever take it
D D/F# Bm G
Would be dancers dancing dances at a ball
Em C
Forbidden love in all those smiling faces
B7
Better than no love at all
[Chorus]
E Asus4 B7 E
It was one of those particular moments in my life
Asus2 B7
Somewhere between midnight and blue
E Asus2 B7 E
Two in the morning without any warning
Asus2 B7 C#m F#m B7 Em
I fell back in love with you
[Verse 6]
Asus2 D
She was gathering clothes, quietly moving around
D/F# Bm G
She never seemed to take a moment, a little time for herself
Em C
Just to stop and do nothing, get back to her book
B7 Em
Or let me pour a glass of wine
[Verse 7]
Asus2 D
And as her hand brushed my table, well, I took it in mine
D/F# Bm G
She looked in my eyes, she whispered, "You're tired
Em C
Perhaps we should lie down, I'll go and find some Berlioz
B7
A little sleep and we'll be fine"
[Chorus]
E Asus4 B7 E
It was one of those particular moments in my life
Asus2 B7
Somewhere between midnight and blue
E Asus2 B7 E
Two in the morning without any warning
Asus2 B7 C#m F#m B7
I fell back in love with you
[Chorus]
E Asus4 B7 E
It was one of those particular moments in my life
Asus2 B7
Somewhere between midnight and blue
E Asus2 B7 E
Two in the morning without any warning
Asus2 B7 C#m F#m B7 Em
I fell back in love with you

[Intro]
Em C G D/F# Em G
[Verse 1]
D
The whole family's sitting watching TV
Em C G
The only thing that makes me feel better
D
And no one plays the radio
Em C
The news is always bad
[Verse 2]
G D
The kids, they've been keeping daddy up all night
Em C
Rock 'n' Rolling, shouting, fighting
G D
Tomorrow is the marching season
Em C
We'll meet at the roundabout
[Chorus]
Em C
I want to eat at the same table
G D
I want to break the same bread
C G
I want to march down the same streets
Am D
I want to hear the same bands

I want to sing the same songs
