We're headed for a real cold winter
C G
Come in and close the door
C G
You know too well that the ship set sail
D
We won't be together anymore
[Verse]
G D
I want to hear the gulls on the southern seas
C G
I want to make the rafters roar
C G
And I'll trade this five-string banjo
D G
For tobacco and a cuppa char
[Verse]
D
My grandfather showed me nothing
C G
My father showed me even less
C G
I tried to live my life as a good man

Tried to do my level best

Come in and close the door

Tobacco and a five-string banjo

And nothing more
{Instrumental]
C G C G C G C Eb G

Nineteen twelve, call it heaven or hell
C G
Bought two tickets and we all set sail
C G
The rich up top and the poor below
D
And the Irish in the middle with nowhere to go
[Verse]
G D
Call it bad luck when the iceberg struck
C G
And everybody looking for Carpathia
C G
Pick me up and take me to America
D G
Pick me up and take me to America

Oh, we're headed for a real cold winter

Come in and close the door

I tried to live my life as a good man

Tried to do my level best

When the ice came round and the chips were down

I put my wife and the family first
C G
But I'll trade this five-string banjo

For a woman and a reindeer vest

I'll trade this five-string banjo

For a woman and a reindeer vest

She left a letter in the hall

She was leaving after all

But for now Autumn's the only song to sing

A
Ground coffee on the shelf
G
Said that I should help myself
D A D
[Verse]
A
She even swept the kitchen floor
G
The key behind the door
D A
[Bridge]
G D
They were up all night, little fights
Never wrongs and always rights
G
"Don’t do this" is "Can't do that"
A D
At every single turn
[Verse]
A
When I felt a little better
G
Maybe in the warmer weather
D A D
[Verse]
A
If I tried to keep in touch

That might just prove a little much

[Chorus]
G D
There'll be time enough for Winter in the Wintertime

Watch the flowers from your window in the Spring

We just could not wait 'til September
D
So we both took the ferry in May

As I dance with you now, I remember
D
As if it was just yesterday
[Verse]
G D
Blonde hair blew over your shoulder
E7 A
You laughed, I'd no hair at all
D A
I said you'd not grown one day older
D
As you looked at our names on the wall

Everything's perfect, everything's right

No one fell over last Saturday night
C B Em A
Always be there just to kiss me goodnight

And waltz me away in your dream

D D/C Bm G A A/C# A/E
[Verse]
D A
We just could not wait until evening
D
You tasted of French honeymoon
A
You held my arm tight 'neath the Northern Lights
D
And we both danced together in tune
[Verse]
G D
The moon was so bright, your head feeling light
E7 A
You asked me to fetch you a chair
D A
I said that I would, just as fast as I could
D
But promise you'll always be there
[Chorus]
G D
Everything's perfect, everything's right

No one fell over last Saturday night

G D E7 A C B Em A
D D/C Bm G A
[Verse]
D A
We just could not wait until midnight
D
When the bandleader took to the stage
A
All the girls showed their stockings, their slow, quick, quick, slow
D
Most of the boys showed their age
[Verse]
G D
You said it was easy, you'd show me
E7 A
I tried not to step near your toes
D A
You spun me around, we both sat down
D
If you water a flower, it grows
[Chorus]

Everything's perfect, everything's right
E7 A
No one fell over last Saturday night
C B Em A
Always be there just to kiss me goodnight
D
And waltz me away on your dream

Everything's perfect, everything's right

No one fell over last Saturday night

Always be there just to kiss me goodnight

Track 7 - Day Too Long
[Intro]
Bm E Bm E Bm E D
[Verse]
A D
I saw the big ship leaving
G Bm
Roxy saw it too
E
You were never bad enough for me, darling
Bm E G
I was never good enough for you
[Verse]
A
Those little moments late at night
D
When for no darn reason
G
You'd wake up and fight
D A G D
[Verse]
A D
She said the castle was a mystery, could I tell her its history
G Bm
What didn't I know
E
It's just a pile of stones, they've always been there
Bm E G
I've never had a reason to go
[Verse]
A
Sometimes it's better just to follow your nose
D
She was banging on the doors
G
But the castle was closed
D A G D
[Verse]
F#7 G
Goodness me, it's no distance from Antrim to Afland
F#7 G
We could leave the car here and all be in Scotland for tea
F#7 G
And Roxy looked for the ferry to take us to Dublin town
D A D
Oh, but it might have been better if they'd all just stayed here with me
[Verse]
A D
Was that the rain on my back, was that the wind in my face
G Bm
Was it the shingle shore
E
Or just sitting on the same wooden bench
Bm E G
We'd shared back in 'seventy-four
[Verse]
A
I smoked, I told her some jokes
D
Drank some whiskey and Cokes
G
She got me drunk as a lord
D A G D
A G D
[Verse]
F#7 G
Glory be, I hoped I'd be better than nothing
F#7 G
And if you want something pretty to look at, go look at that sea
F#7
You had time on your hands and we loved the same bands
G
You walked far too quickly, I could not hold hands
D A D
But if that's okay with you, darling, hey, it's okay by me
[Verse]
A D
She said the castle was a mystery, could I tell her its history
G
But I didn't know
D A G D
A G D

Track 8 - The High Road
Capo 3
[Intro]
D
[Verse]
A/C# Bm D G
We all look busy, there's a certain type of sound around
D G A
Everyone is searching for the Dollar and the Pound
D A/C# Bm D
And some have been to hell and back and some have gone to ground
G A
And if someone will just help me from this chair
[Verse]
D A/C# Bm D
The poor will count their money, or hide it all inside
G D G A
And as I put the kettle on, I'll call my brother, Jack
D A/C# Bm D G
We will hit the high road and I will help him pack
D A D
He will live forever on the years he can't get back
[Verse]
A/C# Bm D
The flowers they look so pretty in their vase upon the table
G D G A
B gentle illustration in his book of Celtic fables
D A/C# Bm D
And I will feed him water ( ? ) as long as I am able
G A
If someone will just help me from this chair
[Verse]
D A/C# Bm D
And the young play so much louder as the rest of us grow older
G D G A
Some will walk with Blackthorn stick and some may need a shoulder
D A/C# Bm D
We will hit the high road and help each other out
G D A D
And we will live forever on the years we can't get back
[Bridge]
A G D
Or the dream that came last Saturday, sure it was no dream at all
G D G A
I will hear the west wind blow and watch the branches fall
D A/C# Bm D
I will paint his quiet mountain with a wide and gentle track
G D A D
So that we may live together on the years we can't get back
[Verse]
A/C# Bm D
The farmer ploughs a furrow, he may sow a seed in spring
G D G A
The girl who strokes a mandolin, may well have a song to sing
D A/C# Bm D
But the band that sings forever, wears a golden wedding ring
G A
And if someone will just help me from this chair
[Verse]
D A/C# Bm D
I will watch the flowers growing, I will see the tree in bloom
G D G A
I will read from books of poetry, consumed around the room
D A/C# Bm D
We will hit the high road to help each other out
G D A D
And we will live forever on the years we can't get back
G D A D
We will live forever on the years we can't get back
Track 9 - The Great Southside Twins
Capo 2
[Intro]
D A G D A G D
[Verse]
A G D
I saw you at 8:15 by the roundabout
A G D
And then again at the Butter Market too
A G
I didn't even know that was your brother
D A G D
Or if you'd changed your clothes and it was still you
[Verse]
A G D
You need to have more defining differences
A G D
Each one of you could be unique
A G D
But I don't really wanna change anything about you though

I just want to follow you and keep lots of notes on you now
[Chorus]

Next month it'll be time for the May Fair
A G D
The best time of year here, they say
A G
And you both will no doubt be there
D A G D
Which is good for me, 'cause I can watch you all day
[Verse]
A G D
Last year I was gonna ask you not to leave early
A G D
I even thought about calling out to you
A G
But I stopped 'cause you didn't even know me
D A G D
Even if I know all about you
[Chorus]
A G
The great Southside twins
D A G D
How we love the great Southside twins
A G
The great Southside twins
D A G D
How we love the great Southside twins
[Verse]
A G D
And I just wanna let you know how proud I am
A G D
I spent four years watching you grow
A G
Maybe you could text me on your whereabouts
D A G D
Or if you get a new coat or hat and I don't know
[Verse]
A G
Or maybe I should just keep my distance
D A G D
The judge says I can't do this stuff anymore
A G D
But you know I'm never gonna let anybody harm you ever
A G D
I'm just watching your door in case you come outside
[Chorus]
A G
The great Southside twins

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

I believe in love, affection
E/G# C#m A
I now believe in you and me
F#m D
I believe that words with music

Can make all blind men see
[Verse]
Bsus2 E
And though I can't say that I would ever die for love
E/G# C#m A
Or put mine up for sale

How come I twist and turn in all directions
C#7 F#m
Must be that Libran Scale

If I have no need for locks upon my door

Blues songs, with many, the key of E
[Verse]

Forbidden love in all those smiling faces

It was one of those particular moments in my life

Somewhere between midnight and blue
F# Bsus2 C#7 F#
Two in the morning without any warning
Bsus2 C#7 D#m G#m C#7 F#m
I fell back in love with you
[Verse]
Bsus2 E
She was gathering clothes, quietly moving around
E/G# C#m A
She never seemed to take a moment, a little time for herself
F#m D
Just to stop and do nothing, get back to her book
C#7 F#m
Or let me pour a glass of wine
[Verse]
Bsus2 E
And as her hand brushed my table, well, I took it in mine
E/G# C#m A
She looked in my eyes, she whispered, "You're tired
F#m D
Perhaps we should lie down, I'll go and find some Berlioz
C#7
B little sleep and we'll be fine"

It was one of those particular moments in my life

I fell back in love with you

Somewhere between midnight and blue

Two in the morning without any warning
Bsus2 C#7 D#m G#m C#7 F#m
I fell back in love with you
