The Whisky

The whiskey is surely poison
C D
The whiskey, is a deep dark medicine
C G
She’ll seduce you, then turn you into nothing
D C G
For whiskey is a whore, a deep dark medicine

Rip your clothes and take away your home

Make you raise your voice to women and children

Turn you a Hydish creature left to roam

How many lost their souls
C G
To that peat smelling stream o’ gold

It looks like piss still they want it’s kiss

Yes the whiskey is a deep dark medicine

Every kind of Heaven chords – D/Bm/Em/F#m/A7/
A7 D Bm
We need birds we need bees
Em A7
We need flowers we need trees
Em A7 D A7
We need every kind of heaven for our garden
D Bm
We need skies we need seas
Em A7
We need rivers we need streams

Em A7 D
With every kind of heaven in our garden
Chords and melody as in verse
So I say, yes I say
Now’s the time, don’t delay
Heal the Earth hold the land, seas and sky
In a safe, happy place
Not a toxic disgrace
For we need to protect all of our children
There’s no need for the greed
As we sow we shall reap
Even birds as resilient as the phoenix
Can’t be heard through the cries
and the flames of an earth
That is poisoned and painfully dying
We need birds we need bees
We need flowers we need trees
We need every kind of heaven for our garden
We need skies we need seas
We need rivers we need streams
We need every kind of life for our children
Take the time whilst we can
To protect our fellow man
For in doing so we safeguard the future
So the child of today
can enjoy the right to play
In a world that will see more tomorrows

Elaine
Elaine, Elaine, my life is not the same
You're still the Angel in my life though God took you away
I might sail many oceans, but ya never far away
Guide me from above, Elaine
Guide me with your love, Elaine
For anything good about me was born in a place called you
You helped me from life's ruin, you kept me straight and true
When the Lord takes back a soul like you it hurts in many ways
As if someone stole the mountains, or sunlight from the day
Elaine, Elaine, my life is not the same
You're still the Angel in my life though God took you away
I might sail many oceans, but ya never far away
Guide me from above, Elaine
Guide me with your love, Elaine
It's years now since your passing and our daughter she has grown
To a beauty like her Mother, with a lover of her own
And though I keep a brave face on, till at night when I'm alone
That's when I cry and whisper your name, Elaine
Elaine, Elaine, my life is not the same
You're still the Angel in my life though God took you away
I might sail many oceans, but ya never far away
Guide me from above, Elaine
Guide me with your love, Elaine

She Rides Horses

She Rides Horses
Riding horses through sea of daisy
To truth above the clutch corn fear
Blue sky of intuition
Guiding beyond a prison’s
Fearful jealous men
She will never hurt again, she rides
When riding horses she receives all faculty
Guided by the deep celestial son
Already gentle men
Parental guardian
Nursed these boys alone
For Angels stay at home, she rides
When riding horses she’ll reach cornucopia
In silver hue such eminent delight
Blue sky of intuition
Guiding her beyond a prison’s
Fearful jealous men
She will never hurt again, she rides
