Don't Tell Me It's Raining

Refrain 1
                                           G7
Don't gimme decaffeinated coffee
                                                     C
no low-calorie sugar-free "less is more"
                                          G7
and don't you offer me no soft drink
                                                         C
what the hell you think I'm drinkin' for?
                                            F7
Don't emphasize how I can trust you
                                                  C
when you lied and said it was a fact
                                               G7
and don't you tell me that it's raining
                                           C          
when you're pissing on my back

Solo Breaks

Refrain 2
                                  G7
Atmpospheric cognoscenti
                               C
unequivocally hesitate
                       G7
to meteorologically
                                  C
prognosticate precipitate
                                             F7
But I don't need no Doppler radar
                                                 C
because there ain't no storm to track
                                             G7
So don't you tell me that it's raining
                                           C          
when you're pissing on my back

Solo Breaks

Refrain 3
                                            G7
Just lay and egg so you can beat it
                                     C
if you don't like my attitude
                                       G7
Just 'cause I call it like I see it
                                                   C
don't mean I'm cruel or that I'm rude
                                                F7
When something subtle needs explainin'
                                            C
I choose my words to be exact
                                             G7
so don't you tell me that it's raining
                                           C          
when you're pissing on my back

Went with my baby to a party
Maybe a pretty girl's tongue did slip
I said "Baby, baby, I'm so sorry!
It was just a kiss, and just the tip"
My baby turned around and smacked me
and pain made plain the punch she packed
Sh'said "Don't you tell me that it's rainin'
or I'll flat knock on your ass!"

But I can't account for contradictions
Religious freedom, Brooklyn queens
Government probes into corruption
Puttin' out a fire with gasoline
Bein' satisfied with just complaining
like blowin' smoke back down the stack
So don't you tell me that it's rainin'
when you're pissing on my back

Zion

Jump to: Robochart * Lead Sheet * Video * Lyrics

A:
                       G
When heaven rings

celestial song
                     C                D                    G
and calls me forth to the world that's beyond

Though I've been weak

and I've done wrong
                   C            D      G
I hope they carry me on to Zion

B:
                         C
And when we're ash
              G
or in the grave
                      C                           D
some say that only a few will be saved
                            G
Well I wish them well

but I hope they're wrong
                       C             D         G
and that we're all on the road to Zion.

Take Up A Pick

                G
Take up a pick
                 C
and play a lick
                    G
and off your shou-lder
               D
take that chip
                     G
We're all just fools
                C
upon this ship
              G
so let 'er rip and
              D                 G
don't be givin' me no lip

                   C
And in this wi-cked
              F
world of sin
                   C
it seems we end
           G
ere we begin
                        C
Why don't you take
              F
her for a spin?
               C
You only live once even
G                       C
if you're born again.

Lyrics:

This Way Again

Refrain 1
A part
Em
Drink deep, my friends, because
                                         A        D
we'll never be this way again
Em
Call one more song and pour it on
                                A        D
until they don't say when
B part
D
So get to work and take that break now on the double
Em                                       C
You'll get the heartiest handshake for all your trouble
Em
Drink deep, my friends, because
        B                           Em
we'll never be this way again

Solo Breaks 1 - two players split, one plays the A part, the other B the part

Refrain 2
Strike true, my friends, because
we’ll never be this way again
What's there to do but to come through
with all you got to spend
Now when you testify keep high and on the level
Save us from in between the deep blue sea and devil
Strike true, my friends, because
we’ll never be this way again

Solo Breaks 2

Bridge
C
Flash of lightning
peal of thunder
Em
Sing the glory
play the wonder
A
When your maker
calls your number
B        C
this shall not be
D    D#dim
rent asunder!

Refrain 3
Throw down, my friends, because
we’ll never be this way again
Just for a moment live a moment
that will never end
So hold it steady and get ready to unstable
If you can't play or sing, then dance upon the table
Throw down, my friends, because
we’ll never be this way again

Solo Breaks 3

Bridge repeat

Refrain 4
Drink deep, my friends, because
we'll never be this way again
Call one more song and pour it on
until they don't say when
Nobody needs to know - it's just for craps 'n' chuckles
so please let's keep this just between your thumb and knuckles
Drink deep, my friends, because
we'll never be this way again
