We're headed for a real cold winter
A E
Come in and close the door
A E
You know too well that the ship set sail
B
We won't be together anymore
[Verse]
E B
I want to hear the gulls on the southern seas
A E
I want to make the rafters roar
A E
And I'll trade this five-string banjo

For tobacco and a cuppa char
[Verse]

My grandfather showed me nothing

My father showed me even less

I tried to live my life as a good man

Found New York and learnt new tricks

The first time I'd ever seen black faces

Living out of cheap suitcases

Come in and close the door

Tobacco and a five-string banjo

And nothing more
{Instrumental]
A E A E A E A C E
[Verse]
B
Nineteen twelve, call it heaven or hell
A E
Bought two tickets and we all set sail
A E
The rich up top and the poor below

And the Irish in the middle with nowhere to go
[Verse]
E B
Call it bad luck when the iceberg struck
A E
And everybody looking for Carpathia
A E
Pick me up and take me to America
B E
Pick me up and take me to America
[Chorus]

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

But I'll trade this five-string banjo

Said that I should help myself

The key behind the door

They were up all night, little fights
Never wrongs and always rights

"Don’t do this" is "Can't do that"
F# B
At every single turn

When I felt a little better

Maybe in the warmer weather
B F# B
[Verse]

If I tried to keep in touch

That might just prove a little much

There'll be time enough for Winter in the Wintertime

As if it was just yesterday

Blonde hair blew over your shoulder

I said you'd not grown one day older

As you looked at our names on the wall

You tasted of French honeymoon

You held my arm tight 'neath the Northern Lights

And we both danced together in tune
[Verse]
E B
The moon was so bright, your head feeling light
C#7 F#
You asked me to fetch you a chair
B F#
I said that I would, just as fast as I could

But promise you'll always be there
[Chorus]

Everything's perfect, everything's right

E B C#7 F# A G# C#m F#
B B/A G#m E F#
[Verse]
B F#
We just could not wait until midnight
B
When the bandleader took to the stage
F#
All the girls showed their stockings, their slow, quick, quick, slow
B
Most of the boys showed their age
[Verse]
E B
You said it was easy, you'd show me
C#7 F#
I tried not to step near your toes
B F#
You spun me around, we both sat down
B
If you water a flower, it grows
[Chorus]
E B
Everything's perfect, everything's right
C#7 F#
No one fell over last Saturday night
A G# C#m F#
Always be there just to kiss me goodnight

And waltz me away on your dream

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

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

[Intro]
B F# E B F# E B
[Verse]
F# E B
I saw you at 8:15 by the roundabout
F# E B
And then again at the Butter Market too
F# E
I didn't even know that was your brother
B F# E B
Or if you'd changed your clothes and it was still you
[Verse]
F# E B
You need to have more defining differences
F# E B
Each one of you could be unique
F# E B
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]

The great Southside twins
B F# E B
How we love the great Southside twins

The great Southside twins
B F# E B

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

The great Southside twins
B F# E B
How we love the great Southside twins

How we love the great Southside twins

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

[Verse]
G#sus2 C#
And though I can't say that I would ever die for love
C#/F A#m F#
Or put mine up for sale
D#m B
How come I twist and turn in all directions
A#7 D#m
Must be that Libran Scale
[Verse]
G#sus2 C#
If I have no need for locks upon my door
C#/F A#m F#
How come I fear the open sea?
D#m
Don't you just love coincidence
B A#7 D#m
Blues songs, with many, the key of C#
[Verse]
G#sus2
The sweetest picture, should I ever take it
C# C#/F A#m F#
Would be dancers dancing dances at a ball
D#m B
Forbidden love in all those smiling faces
A#7
Better than no love at all
[Chorus]
D# G#sus4 A#7 D#
It was one of those particular moments in my life
G#sus2 A#7
Somewhere between midnight and blue
D# G#sus2 A#7 D#
Two in the morning without any warning
G#sus2 A#7 Cm Fm A#7 D#m
I fell back in love with you
[Verse]
G#sus2 C#
She was gathering clothes, quietly moving around
C#/F A#m F#
She never seemed to take a moment, a little time for herself
D#m B
Just to stop and do nothing, get back to her book
A#7 D#m
Or let me pour a glass of wine
[Verse]
G#sus2 C#
And as her hand brushed my table, well, I took it in mine
C#/F A#m F#
She looked in my eyes, she whispered, "You're tired
D#m B
Perhaps we should lie down, I'll go and find some Berlioz
A#7
G# little sleep and we'll be fine"
[Chorus]
D# G#sus4 A#7 D#
It was one of those particular moments in my life
G#sus2 A#7
Somewhere between midnight and blue
D# G#sus2 A#7 D#
Two in the morning without any warning
G#sus2 A#7 Cm Fm A#7
I fell back in love with you
[Chorus]
D# G#sus4 A#7 D#
It was one of those particular moments in my life
G#sus2 A#7
Somewhere between midnight and blue
D# G#sus2 A#7 D#
Two in the morning without any warning
G#sus2 A#7 Cm Fm A#7 D#m
I fell back in love with you
