Dsus2       Dsus2         A           E
January came to me in a dream
Dsus2
Her lungs were better
Dsus2                       A         E
And her cough was nice and clean
    Dsus2                  Dsus2             A          E
Oh, sang me “Dazzling Blue”

I foo--und your letter
Dsus2           A              E
And split in twoooooo

[Post Chorus]
Dsus2          Dsus2          A         E

Oh, January


[Verse]
      F#m               D
Oh, in photographs of Los Angeles
     A
You break my heart
E                  F#m           D            A
Into little pink shaaaards of moon rock
    E    F#m           D         A
And blow me all over studio city
          E                 F#m
And a desert town I know where
                        D              A            E
No one knows your name

[Verse 2]
Dsus2           Dsus2                         A
Let your hair tumble down your shoulders
              E
I am a cool breeze
                    Dsus2
Hop on my motor cycle
                    Dsus2
I am westward movement
                        A             E
I am some rain when the valley’s too hot
Dsus2
Lost in the wind
Dsus2
Lend me a little lie
A             E                      Dsus2
So my mind is full of fine all the time
              Dsus2                     A             E
I let my hair tumble down my shoulder blades


[Interlude]
Dsus2         Dsus2         A          E     [x4]

[Verse 3]
Dsus2                         A
January, lasso moon and love
E          Dsus2                     A
Or, baby driver, come lop my head off
E       C#m
Oooooooh,
F#m               D
Free your mind, summon its black magic
A
I am El Escondido
E
Feel up my leather jacket
F#m
I am reformed wave
D                        A                E
I’m Mission Bay when it’s sherbet and grey
Dsus2
Fly me away
Dsus2
London to Vietnam
A                    E
And my line is “feeling fine all the time”
Dsus2             Dsus2            A          E
I let my hair tumble down my shoulder blades


[Chorus]
Dsus2       Dsus2         A           E
January came to me in a dream
Dsus2

Oh, sang me “Dazzling Blue”
    Dsus2
I rea---d your letter......

The intro is a Gm that sounds best played higher on the neck if you're trying to sound like the recording.
Relative to the capo it is an Em
[Intro]
  Em


[Verse]
      Cmaj7                Dsus2                Em
Then Whitesnake and lightning bolt
              Cmaj7          Dsus2         Em
Compels us to move to another juke joint
 Cmaj7         Dsus2            Em
Can’t blame it all on the moon
   Cmaj7                 Dsus2              Em              Em
The mess of words that tumble onto you


[Pre Chorus]
        Cmaj7
Because love breaks
 Dsus2
Love breaks
 Em
Love breaks your heart
         Cmaj7
Because love breaks
 Dsus2             Em
Love breaks your heart


[Chorus]
Cmaj7         Dsus2                       Em
Lately, I do nothing but listen to my body
  Cmaj7           Dsus2                Em
And I got no designs to do you harm
       Cmaj7         Dsus2
Oooh, baby, it’s on
        Em                   Em
I’ll be sweet and simple all night long

[Verse 2]
  F#m                                  Em
Some splendid Sunday morning, I’ll forget you
                Cmaj7            Em
And you will tumble from my brain
       Dsus2           Em
Like a drifter from a train
        Cmaj7             Em
I will feel myself getting better
        Dsus2             Em
As I find myself growing bold
         Cmaj7               Em
Comforted by the drone of my mantra
         Dsus2             Em           Cmaj7      Cmaj7
Though I will confess to a measure of loneliness
      Dsus2         Em
That follows me down
     Am             Am
To the south side of town


[Chorus 2]

Cmaj7           Dsus2                   Em
Lately, I do nothing but listen to my body
   Cmaj7        Dsus2                 Em
And I got no designs to do you harm
      Cmaj7     Dsus2
Oooh, baby, it’s on


[Bridge]
    Am                   Dsus2
In my dream, there’s a beach and there’s lightning
       F#m             Cmaj7         Em
And I fall under your spell like a dog
          Am           Dsus2
Oooh, in my dream, you warn me
          F#m           Cmaj7
And we three make our escape
          F#m                  Em
From some beast with a horrible face
     Am
Who gains on us
                       Dsus2         Dsus2
Until eventually we are overcome


[Pre Chorus]
          Cmaj7        Dsus2
Oooh, then baby…
    Em
I feel nothin’
      Cmaj7            Dsus2
Oooh, tell me, tell me, mama
         Em
How did it happen?
  Cmaj7            Dsus2
Oooh, baby, it’s on
Em
I’ll be sweet and simple all night long
      Cmaj7
Pull my hair
   Dsus2
Smack my ass
         Em               Em
Make me your monkey
      Cmaj7
Pull my hair
  Dsus2
Smack my ass
    Em
Make me your monkey
      Cmaj7
Pull my hair!
Dsus2
Smack my ass!
     Em
Make me your monkey!

[Intro]
D         G        D        G


[Verse 1]
D                 G
If I tried to tell you
G                   D
You would not believe me
D                              G
And anyway, the thought of her driving
G
Through that park
D
Makes me sick
A               G                               D
First time I saw her, thought I might go blind
A               G                        D
That night in Boston when her eyes met mine
      Gmaj7
Oooh, baby, you're so dumb
                           A
Oooh, and maybe I'm no fun
      G                        A
Oooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...

What have we done?


[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D                  G
If I tried to warn you
G                  D
It'd mean I'm bitter
         D                                G
Oooh, and anyhow, the thought of you losin'
                G                  D
Something you love makes me wanna die
     A              G                           D
The last time I saw her, her eyes were the moon
     A                            G
The grease monkey had entered the frame
           D                         A
Ooh, then baby, something went wrong
     G                          A

[Bridge]
G                  A
Had a dream and I almost married you
       D                   G
In some strange other place
                          G      Bm              G
Where your heart doesn't break a little at a time

Since you woke one morning sick
         A                 D
And you called your mother cryin'
                     G            A             D
And she said, 'this thing's gonna be alright
       G        A        D
It's all gonna be just fine
                            G
If you're very much in love'
                A              D
And how I loved you that night
                     A
As I nursed my cigarette
                     D
While you lay in bed smiling
A              A
Not quite yet blue


[Outro]
   G
Ooh, baby
                   A
What's your sign?
                    G
I know it's gonna be perfect this time
A                              G
'Cuz you're a peach and I love you
     A                       G
And look at this little girl

D        G      D       G
D        G      D       G

End on G



Track 4: Pink Lightning
Tempo: 107 bpm
Capo: 2nd fret
Key: E

CAPO 2ND FRET ALL CHORDS AND TABS RELATIVE TO CAPO, SONG IS IN KEY OF E

This song is all piano and arrangement on the record, so i based my tab off the live version from 2017
which was played in a different key, but I adjusted the key to match the record.

This first section is what you play whenever it says Dsus2 and then Bm. The Bm in this case is
just a Dsus2 chord with the A string 2nd fret (relative to capo) added. These chords are
fingerpicked whenever they are played, with one or two exceptions.

The timing is also a little quicker when hitting the 3 high strings during the arpeggio
on Bm, you can hear the deliberate difference between the pacings. This "riff" or
section is the centerpiece of the whole song.



  Dsus2          Bm               G        F#m     Em

e|--------0-----------0------------------------------------------------------|
B|------3---3-------3---2--------------3-------3---------0-------------------|
G|----2-------2---2-------3----------0---0---0---0-----0---0-----------------|
D|--0------------------------------------------------2-------2---------------|
A|------------- 2-----------2--0-------------------2-----------2-------------|
E|--------------------------------3--------2---------------------------------|

Sometimes instead it goes from    G   to  Dsus2   to  Em  and then also to A when transitioning back

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----3-------3----------0------------3-------3---------0-------2-----------|
G|---0---0---0---0------0---0--------0---0---2---2-----0-------2-------------|
D|--------------------2-------2----------------------2-------2---------------|
A|------------------2-----------2------------------2-------0-----------------|
E|-3-------2----------------------3--------2--------------------------------|


......back to the Dsus2 -- Bm pattern

I'll put a * next to any chords that are NOT fingerpicked

OK the song goes like this!


[Verse 1]
Dsus2                 Bm                                   G
When I was in the gutter, you were already deeply disturbed
F#m              Em              Dsus2             Bm            G        F#m
There was that night I swear I heard you say you’d poisoned your father
Em
Between moans
Dsus2                  Bm
So maybe he was mean and maybe he had a penchant
Dsus2                  Bm                                G         F#m      Em
For back-handing your mother at the mere mention of love gone cold
    G        F#m         Em
Like, how was she to know?

   Dsus2               Bm
But that don’t mean it’s fine
   Dsus2               Bm
That don’t mean it’s fine
   Dsus2               Bm
That don’t mean it’s fine
   Em             A
To do whatever you like


[Interlude]
   Dsus2             Bm  (x2)
   G             Dsus2          Em  (x2)     A

[Verse 2]
   Dsus2             Bm                               G        F#m        Em
When I was in the gutter, you were no longer sober
                    Dsus2
And I admired the grace
              Bm                 G        F#m        Em
With which you fell off the wagon
     Dsus2                           Bm
Surrounded by the dregs of horny divorcees
     Dsus2                          Bm
Roller-blading busters in their CRVs
          G        Dsus2        Em
Come on, love
                        G          Em
Are you gonna give it up, or what?


[Interlude]
Dsus2                Bm(x2)
At this part the Dsus2 drags through the first part of love, before switching to G by the end of it,
listen to the song to figure out the pattern, it shouldn't be too difficult.
[This song doesn't really have a chorus I don't know what to call these parts]
          Em       Dsus2         G
If I feel no such looooooooooove
          Em       Dsus2         G
If I feel no such looooooooooove
              Dsus2                      Bm
Though I am grateful for the shelter
                           G
While it holds me in its arms


[Bridge]
                A*
Oh, but when I feel better
            A*
When I feel better
            A*
When I feel better
            A*
Can’t tell me nothin’


[Interlude]
Dsus2               Bm
Dsus2               A


[Verse 3]
Dsus2               Bm                                G      F#m
So watch me chase the sun and dream that it’s over
       Em
And I won
            G     F#m     Em
But did I love you once?
   G       F#m      Em
Not so far from Pismo
           Dsus2                Bm
And to watch you twirl on the beach
             G       Dsus2       Em
Under pink lightning
                              G       Dsus2      Em
Giggling, “we’re all just recycling”
     G        Dsus2       Em
Have you dreamt my dream before?
 Em                     Dsus2
Gee, I don’t know
       Bm          Dsus2         Bm
But I’m tired and can no longer perform
         G       Dsus2       Em
But when I was down and out
         G       F#m     Em
When I was down and out
         G       F#m     Em     A
When I was down and out
                          Dsus2          Bm
You unbuttoned your blouse
Dsus2                      Bm
G        F#m        Em
G        F#m        Em       A
end on Dsus2



Track 5: Better world a comin'
Tempo: 100 Bpm (I used a jazz beat for the last chorus, but drum machine can't duplicate Pete Thomas :(
Capo: 4th Fret
Key: G#m

All chords relative to the capo on the 4th fret. The bridge might sound cool fingerpicked with the right
effect on. I tried to place the chords with the pace of the vocals, but it was very difficult to track in the
moments of the song where there aren't words and the Chords change. Hope you enjoy this beautiful song!


Em     C                 G                  Em
Come by through the side door

Will you just carry on dreamin’?


[Pre-Chorus 1]
       D     Em            C
Like your better world is comin’?
        D     Em           C
Like your better world is here?
                D         Em
Naw, it’s the same ole’ forces
 C           Em
Of greed and fear
              C      D         G
They’re just boilin’ over


[Chorus 1]
      G           Em
Let me out of

I want out of the zoo
                C          D           Em
But the feeling passes

C             D



[Bridge]
  Am
I loved your voice
      D
Before I breathed in your lungs
        Bm
Before I scattered your tongues
        C
So only I could hear it
       Am
But you talk too loud
                 D
And look what a mess you’ve made
    G
If I have to come back there and straighten you out
            C
There’ll be hell to pay
           Am
Don’t cop that tone ‘round me
         D      Bm

Talk to me sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

I tied you up some bed sheets
       Em                 D
I wanna swing from your vine
     C                    G
Wanna have a good time

You got me hot enough to nuke

[Verse 1]
Em                      Bm                    Em
The soft ache of a phantom limb
   Bm            C
Came upon me again
     Em              D
And in a burst of benzo
         C
Crawled up under my skin
     Em               Bm               Em
The soft ache of your name...
Bm                            Cmaj7
Last night I dreamt I was dying
           Em                D
And the liquor just made me shiver
        C
Under the strobe


[Pre-Chorus]
            Bm
You came out of the past
Cmaj7
Rolled in like a river
 Em                          D
Boring a hole through my ozone layer
Bm              Cmaj7                              Em
Out of the past, dripping like a dog in the moonlight
                    D
Or the absence of love
    Bm                  C             Bm             Cmaj7
But, gurl, I would John Wall this club to the ground
         Cmaj7              Cmaj7
If it'd burn you memory down

[Chorus 1]
       Em
Hey, mama
     D              Cmaj7
I miss you, that's all
  Cmaj7                    Em                  G
It only happens when the moon's this full
              Am                   Cmaj7                 Am
Or when the rain falls hard as new year's bullets
                C                   G
And the sky is red
           Em                Am
When I imagine it, it's so
             Cmaj7
Cruel and uncomplicated

[Bridge]
Am              Cmaj7                G              Em
I'm gonna be lonely when I don't know you anymore
      Am      C             G
Will you unglue when I am just
     Em               Am
A piece of the past?
              Cmaj7
And does it ever end?
     Am          C
Of course it does
         G
It did
                  Em               Am
But I could not imagine it, my love
Cmaj7
Us being strangers

[Verse 2]
Em                   Bm                  Em
In a gentle wisp, the ghost then fades
Bm                    Cmaj7
Into something like 'time'
        Em
Forgive me
D                 Cmaj7
I am unsure of my mind
     Em                   Bm                  Em
The soft ache and the moon
    Bm                     Cmaj7
Suppose I say to you, 'Brooklyn'
    Em
'Encinitas'
                     D
Or 'endless summer'
                   Cmaj7
We couldn't know...

[Pre Chorus 2]
                Bm
Then you come out of the past
    C
Roll in like a river
  Em                        D
Boring a hole through my ozone layer
         Bm
But it's alright
       C               Em
I forever reside in my mind
                D
Yes, all the time
         Bm          C
In the land where you love me
             Bm                      Cmaj7     C
When you thought I would take Manhattan
             Cmaj7
Like a muppet


[Chorus 2]
       Em
Hey, mama
     D                 Cmaj7
We lost it, that's all
            Cmaj7          Em           D
It started fading on the beach that fall
            Am                    Cmaj7
Before it blew apart like the princesses planet
Am         C           G
My empty head
          Em                    Am
Could not imagine we could be so
            C                G           Em
Cruel and uncomplicated
Am             C             G           Em
Cruel and uncomplicated
Am             C
Cruel and uncomplicated
