Music and Lyrics by RAW Boswin

Lyrics and Chords [+]

Too young to be

Am7

honest with each other,

Too in love to run

Am7

free.

Too busy makin’ fools of one another,

But that’s your Mother and me.

Sometimes there’s no sol

Am7

utions, There’s no

guiding light

Am7

shining on through, Little Darling,

Don’t think that love’s evol

Am7

ution’s Forgettin’ about

you.

Am7

G/B

IF THERE’S A CHANGE IN THE

WEATHER,

THERE’S STILL NO

G/B

CHANGE IN MY

Am7

PLANS,

I’M ALWAYS GONNA B

E YOUR

MAN…SWEET

ALLEY. I’M

ALWAYS GONNA

BE YOUR

MAN… SWEET

ALLEY…

True love never says

Am7

sorry,

True love don’t say good

Am7

bye.

There’s another side to the

Am7

story, There’s another

reason

why…

Am7

For all the thousands of

Am7

reasons, You were never

one…

Am7

You gave me something to be

Am7

lieve in, little darlin’, You were the

only one!

Am7

Only

one!

G/B

IF THERE’S A CHANGE IN THE

WEATHER,

THERE’S STILL NO

G/B

CHANGE IN MY

Am7

PLANS,

I’M ALWAYS GONNA B

E YOUR

MAN…SWEET

ALLEY. I’M

ALWAYS GONNA

BE YOUR

MAN… SWEET

ALLEY…

Another day on the

D/F#

road,

Another day I on the

phone…

D/F#

How you doing?

Another day all

D/F#

alone, Then I’m comin’

Home,

Yeah I’m comin’

home,

Lord I’m

comin’

home…

Sweet

Alley

It’s early Sunday

Am7

morning,

I’ll be there by noon…

Am7

So we could take in the

Am7

Circus, little child, Before we

fly to the Moon…

Am7

G/B

IF THERE’S A CHANGE IN THE

WEATHER,

THERE’S STILL NO

G/B

CHANGE IN MY

Am7

PLANS,

I’M ALWAYS GONNA B

E YOUR

MAN…SWEET

ALLEY. I’M

ALWAYS GONNA

BE YOUR

MAN… SWEET

ALLEY…

G/B

1-2-3-4-5-6|

1-2-3-

4-5-6|

1-2-3-4-5-6|

There’s

few things that

Am7

might stop the

G/B

Captain, From

dropping

nother string

down,

D/F#

Like the

bell in the

D/F#

dead of the

night that turned the

Northwestern

’round,

D/C

G/B

Am7

We had

pushed the last

Am7

pot to the

G/B

ocean floor, And

I made my

way to the

G/E

Bridge,

Seems the

cruelest of

G/B

waves had crashed

Am7

back on the

shore,

D/F#

Back where my

G/E

Chelsea Dawn

lives…

Chorus

AND I

WEPT IN THE

ARMS OF MY

BRO

THERS,

THE

WIND KNOCKED ME

DOWN TO MY

KNEES

D/C

WHILE I

G/B

TRIED TO BE

STRONG FOR MY

D/F#

G/E

THER,

THE

TRUTH IS I’M

LOST AT

SEA

D/F#

G/E

D/F#

G/E

I heard the

broken

voi

Am7

ce of my

G/B

Mother, She said

Chelsea was

taken

day

D/F#

told her that

D/F#

she need say

nothing more,

I’m on my

way,

D/C

G/B

yeah!

Am7

Come

Hell and high

Am7

water I’ll get

G/B

there,

drift on a

wing and a

G/E

prayer

And

I’ll make it

G/B

home to my

Am7

Sweet Chelsea

Dawn, I’ll

D/F#

swim if I’ve

G/E

got to I

swear!

Chorus

Bridge

The

good Captain

Sig had been

listening,

He was an

ethical

man,

He left those

strings and the

profits

D/F#

they’d

G/E

bring to the

ice

jam

…

Dsus4

He sent word

we were dis

patching,

D/F#

As the

G/E

Northwestern set through the

squall

Just one more

night on the

G/B

ocean

Brother…

We’ll have you back to St.

Paul!

1-2-3-

1-2-3-4-|

I’m

tired,

I picked up

D/C

steam for a while, but I’m

G/B

broken,

And I’m

rough around the edges, and just a little too out

spoken.

I’m in

trouble all the time,

D/C

even though I’m trying to do the

G/B

right

thing

In the

eye of the storm, in the middle of the thunder and the

lightning

Chorus

It happens all the

time, a simple twist of

fate, The things that cross my

mind,

think but I won’t

say… Just tell me I’m for

given, For leaving you be

hind,

And find the strength to

let me go, cuz

I’m

tired

And even though I’m

tired,

I wake up

D/C

early in the morning, then i

G/B

drift

off

i tell myself again today i think i’m finally gonna

lift

off

And from my

rocket to the stars, i’m

D/C

never looking back because i’m

G/B

pissed

off

That when I

fly too close to sun, I guess my wings are gonna

drip

off

Chorus

It happens all the

time, a simple twist of

fate, The things that cross my

mind,

think but I won’t

say… Just tell me I’m for

given, For leaving you be

hind,

And find the strength to

let me go…

Bridge

and sing me a lulla

by..Sleep now my

Darlin’, Close your

Am7

eyes and let it slip a

D/F#

way. Sweet dreams sur

round your, so be

D/F#

strong until we meet a

gain. We’ll be to

gether and we’ll

F/E

live forever and a

D#dim7

day!…

Hush now baby

don’t you cry,

Mama’s gonna sing you a lullaby

I’m

tired,

I kept my

D/C

faith for a while but its

G/B

jaded

I took my lumps with a smile, but I’ve

faded

So I’ll turn my

D/C

eyes to the sun and I’ll

G/B

drift off…

Lift

off!…

And keep the faith and

always

that I will always

love you so…

The Hard Way

Words and music by RAW Boswin

Key of G 4/4 time 75 BPM

Lyrics and Chords [+]

Well she’s

thirty-seven years to

Cadd9

day.

Cadd9

And

all she ever seemed to

Cadd9

say…

Cadd9

She said

”I…

I could have

been someone,” “You know

D/F#

but

I…

I was

staring into the

sun.”

Chorus

AND SHE SAID,

”YOU COULD FIND THE

HARD WAY OF DOING

ANYTHING”

”YOU COULD TRY TO

MAKE IT ON YOUR

O—

OWN”

AND SHE SAID

”YOU COULD FIND THE

HARD WAY OF DOING

ANYTHING”

”BUT YOU MAY NEVER

MAKE IT ALL A

LONE.”

So she

ordered up another

Cadd9

round,

Cadd9

And she said,

”Well I don’t mean to bring you

Cadd9

down.”

Cadd9

“But on the

road that we must

travel.., take

care.”

“Before the

yellow brick turns to

gravel, You got to

hurry up and take your

share!”

Chorus

Bridge

”WHATEVER YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE, LEAVE A

TRAIL!”

“DON’T YOU KNOW,

SOMETIMES SOME THINGS IN LIFE, WELL YOU

JUST CAN’T HELP!”

G/B

Am7

”BUT I SEE BIG THINGS IN YOUR

FUTURE,”

“ONCE YOU

Am7

SHINE YOUR LIGHT DOWN THE LINE THAT

SUITS

YA’…

Am7

…”OR YOU CAN FIND THE HARD WAY!”

Lead Break:

1-2-3-4

G/B

1-2-3-4-|

1-2-

Dsus4

3-4|

1-2-3-4-|

So she

lit another ciga

Cadd9

rette,

Cadd9

And through her

smoke came a passion I’ll

Cadd9

never

forget.

Cadd9

She said, “De

si—

Cadd9

ire… is an

Angel,.”

D/F#

”And

Pri-

ide is such a lonely mis

take.”

D/F#

”In

Ambitio-

D/F#

on… lie’s a

Cadd9

danger,”

G/B

”When

Am7

loneliness

… is the price you

pay!”

Chorus

AND SHE SAID,

”YOU COULD FIND THE

HARD WAY OF DOING

ANYTHING”

”YOU COULD TRY TO

MAKE IT ON YOUR

O—

OWN”

AND SHE SAID

”YOU COULD FIND THE

HARD WAY OF DOING

ANYTHING”

”BUT YOU MAY NEVER

MAKE IT ALL A

LONE.”

Cadd9

YOU CAN FIND THE

HARD WAY ON YOUR

OWN…

Cadd9

YOU CAN FIND THE HARD WAY ON YOUR

OWN…

Cadd9

YOU CAN FIND THE HARD WAY ON YOUR

OWN…

Cadd9

YOU CAN FIND THE

HARD

Cadd9

WAY

YE-

AH!

Never really loved

G/B

Dm7

Never really saw

G/B

harm, in living with

out

PreChorus

But Darlin’,

Night after night…

Time after time…

I take a

nother shot of whiskey

just to

chase you from my mind

And still I hear you

calling my name while I’m singing

Chorus

It’s a little

late to say I’m

sorry.

It’s a little

late to say I’m

wrong.

It’s a little

late for blazing

glory.

Cuz’ I’m

already

gone.

Sweet sands of time

G/B

rush on

by, leaving be

hind

them,

Dm7

Remnants of sex,

G/B

love and

lies, and screaming and

shouting

PreChorus

It’s a little

Bridge:

And I’ll

never fall in love a

With only one

Dm7

hey darlin’ don’t you

know with you I’m gonna

share?

But I

don’t see a

G/B

better kind of

future, if I should build a

love for you

A better size to

suit

When Darlin’,

Night after night…

Time after time… I take a

nother shot of whiskey, and I

go another

line…

I take a

nother shot of whiskey, I take another

lady another

time…

I take another

nother shot of whiskey, just to try to

keep you off my

mind…So I can keep on

singing
