Good Times for the Meek
Tuned down 1 step
BE (x2)
B E
In between two and one
B E
I’m already gone
B E
And I’m already one
B E
With the two moons above
B E B
Jugend on patrol and breaking beams
B E B
And I’m drinking to your Martian dreams
B F# G#min
Phobos is a spaceship floating ‘round
F# E B
Battered before it hits the Martian ground
B E B
Times for the hard are good times for the meek
B E B
To hold their breath and fall into the deep
B F# G#min
I’m not the only one they tried to tame
E F# B
From the depths of sleep awaken to my name
E B
Half-written in my pocket with red pen
E B
Graph paper justifying traveling
E F# G#min
And I’m not the only one who wants to go
E F# B
Escape the bonds of earth and see the show
B E B (x2)
E E G#min E F# B
E B E B
E F# G#min
E F# B
B E B
Guitar strings are like I Ching hexagrams
B E B
Overwhelmed and anxious changing them
B F# G#min
Losing all sense of the starting goal
E F# B
Necessary transformation for the soul
E B
In a subterranean powerhouse
E B
Machinery lets terraforming out
E F# G#min
Green bottle here is more than what it seems
E F# B
When I’m drinking to your Martian dreams
E F# B
And I’m drinking to your Martian dreams

Bury Me with My Knives
Tuned down 2 steps
D G (x2)
D
Bury me with my knives and fortune
G D
Bury me with my knives
D
Bury me with my knives and fortune
G D
Bury me with my knives
G D
Covered the blades with deep black bluing
G D
So no one can see me with them.
G D
Hide them in a drawer when strangers come calling
G D
So no one will think that I’m bad.
D
Follow me with thee my fortune
G D
Follow me with thee
D
Axle moveth not in the center
D G
Careless where it leads.
G D
In this lonely house I have all I can ask for
G D
Heat and a wooden floor
G D
A machine to let me know if I’m moving
G D
How can I ask for more?
G D
And if the window is raised by someone I’ll know it
G D
But not if they’ve broken in.
G D
And if they lift one & climb in through the over-painted frame
G D
I’ll bury my knife in them.
D
Bury me with my knives and fortune
G D
Bury me with my knives
D
I’ve seen the end and it ended badly
G D
Don’t wanna play through it again
G D
I’ll always wreck my fortune at the very end
G D
When my fortune’s exploding
G D
So the next time around when you see me standing
G D
Pick me up when I’m falling
G D
Next time around with the pieces raining down
G D
Pick me up when I’m falling

Heart of Hanussen
Tuned down 2 steps.
Intro: E G A (C#) D E
E A
Southwest Berlin in 1933,
E A
At the occult palace where she gave that plaster heart to me.
E A
Clairvoyant séance Wahrsagerei,
E A
In Babylon on the spree where that heart split by my pride.
B A
Under stovepipe spots over green and red footlights
B A
She opened the two heart halves and hid my prediction inside.
B A
The psychic’s assistant on stage made for quite a sight,
B A
Revealing my prediction before I set it alight.
E A
With the open hearted organ on its stand,
E A
I predicted the future with the other half in my hand:
E A
“At 2125 tomorrow night,
E A
Alarms will be ringing that the Reichstag is on fire, on fire!”
B A
And it’ll burn, and be blamed on communists,
B A
Nocturnal demiworlds, there’s just no stopping this.
B A
Destiny unfurled, chronological provenance.
B A
Found where it occurred, fourth dimensional provenience,
E
Like the Heart of Hanussen.
E A
On a cold day in March with the brown shirts encircling me,
E A
In a field in the pines with snow melting on my knees.
E A
There’s no more prognostication no more dark arts,
E A
With a bullet in my back and my hand clutching half of a heart.
E D C# A G (F#) E
