All That You Have Is Your Soul (Tracy Chapman) Oh my mama told me 'Cause she say she learned the hard way She say she wanna spare the children She say don't give or sell your soul away 'Cause all that you have is your soul Well I was a pretty young girl once I had dreams I had high hopes I married a man he stole my heart away He gave his love but what a high price I paid All that you have is your soul So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul Why was I such a young fool Thought I'd make history Making babies was the best I could do Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever Found out the hard way one can't possess another And all that you have is your soul So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul I thought, thought that I could find a way To beat the system To make a deal and have no debts to pay I'd take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away Me for myself first class and first rate But all that you have is your soul So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day A second chance A little luck to come my way A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands 'Cause all that you have is your soul So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul Oh my mama told me 'Cause she say she learned the hard way She say she wanna spare the children She say don't give or sell your soul away 'Cause all that you have is your soul All that you have All that you have All that you have Is your soul ------------------------------------ Beyond the Great Divide (J.C. Crowley and Jack Wesley Routh) Capo I C F C There'll be greener pastures C F C Across that border line F G C F We'll see new horizons, my darlin' C G C Far beyond the great divide Pools of clear blue waters Star light in the sky You'll be mine forever, my darlin' Far beyond the great divide [ Beyond The Great Divide song text brought to you by LyricsYouLove ] Somewhere in the distance Northern lights will shine You'll be there beside me, my darlin' Far beyond the great divide You'll be mine forever, my darlin' Far beyond the great divide --------------------------------------- Gold Capo I G G G Oh, the night is growing colder, C G And the stars have lost their shine. And I have been forsaken, D By everything I thought was mine. G D G For in the darkest hour, C When the final story's told, G No matter how bright I glittered, baby, D G I could never be gold. You gave up your finest treasure, For the one you saw in me. But how could I know the measure, Of all you needed me to be. Though I came with sweet intentions, More my pockets could not hold. No matter how bright I glittered, baby, I could never be gold. I finally gave up counting, The ways you said I let you down. When I fell into that river of no return, And you watched me drown. Oh I could sparkle like a diamond, Have silver line my soul. But no matter how I glittered, baby, I could never be gold. You looked so high and low for heaven, I tried so hard to show the way. But though I flew on wings of angels, My feet were always made of clay. I could come trailing clouds of glory, But you saw nothing to behold. No matter how bright I glittered, baby I could never be gold. No matter how bright I glittered, baby, i could never be gold. ------------------------------- Kern River Capo III D D G D I'll never swim Kern River again, It was there that I met him, A There that I lost my best friend. G Now I live in the mountains ?? G I drifted up here with the wind. D And I may drown in still water, A D But I'll never swim Kern River again. He grew up in an oil town But that gusher never came in. And the river was a boundary Where my darling and I used to swim. One night in the moonlight, The swiftness swept his life away. Now I live on Lake Shasta, And Lake Shasta is where I will stay. There's the South San Joaquin Where the seeds of the dust bowl are found. And theres a place called Mt. Whitney From where the mighty Kern River comes down. Now it's not deep nor wide, But it's a mean piece of water my friend. And I may cross on the highway, But I'll never swim Kern River again. I'll never swim Kern River again, It was there that I met him. There that I lost my best friend. Now I live in the mountains, I drifted up here with the wind. I may drown in still water, But I'll never swim Kern River again. I'll never swim Kern River again, It was there that I met him, There that I lost my best friend. Now I live in the mountains I drifted up here with the wind. And I may cross on the highway, But I'll never swim Kern River again. No, I'll never swim Kern River again. -------------------------------- Moon Song (Patty Griffin) Followed your road till the sky ran out Followed your love till love was in doubt Followed your love till it never really was at all Feeling stupid and hollow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home Waited for you till the snow fell down Over my skin like a thin nightgown Waited for you but you never came around at all Waited for you till they pulled the plug Bartender emptied out his big tip jug They swept all the floors Vacuumed the rugs and went home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home Time go easy on me tonight [ Moon Song song text brought to you by LyricsYouLove ] I'm one of the lost sheep alright Take what you must, take what you must Of what I've lost as I have roamed Let the moon follow me home Followed your tears with a washing pail I followed your story I followed your tail Followed you straight through the Doors of your jail cell too Followed your voice in the darkness soft A wind came through and carried it off I followed your love till it never really was at all Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home Drank all I could swallow Now the moon's gonna' follow me home ------------------------------------------- Not Enough (Emmylou Harris) Oh my darling, I miss you so. How I loved you, you'll never know. Though it's time for me to let you go. Oh my darling, I'll miss you so. Can't believe you're really gone for good. I still hold on to places you once stood. I should move on, but I never could, Really believe you're gone for good. Oh my friend, what could I do? I just came home to bury you. The road is long, the road is rough. Your in my heart, that's not close enough. All those years, disappear All my tears, are not enough, not enough. How can it be the ties that bind, Cut down deep and are so unkind? When we lose them we will never find, Anything stronger than the ties that bind. I still have your memory. One or two pictures of you and me. Life is long and life is tough, But when you love someone, Life is not long enough. -------------------------------------- "Old Five and Dimers Like Me" (Emmylou Harris) G D7 I spent a lifetime making up my mind to be G More than the measure of what I thought others could see G G7 C Good luck and fast bucks are too far and too few between D7 G Cadillac buyers and old five and dimers like me D G C C D D G E/G* A E7 Yes she stood beside me letting me know she would be A Something to lean on when everything ran out on me A A7 D Fenced yards ain't hole cards and like is not never will be E7 A Reason for rhymers and old five and dimers like me It's taken me so long but now that I know I believe All that I do or say all that I ever will be Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me Too far and too high and too deep ain't too much to be Too much ain't enough for old five and dimers like me And an old five and dimer is all I intended to be ------------------------------------------
