Wednesday Morning, 3.am
Tom: C
C Am F Em
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
C Dm G
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
C Am F Em
And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
C Dm F G C
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight
C Am F Em
She is soft she is warm but my heart remains heavy,
C Dm G
As I watch as her breasts gently rise, gently fall.
C Am F Em
For I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving,
C Dm F G C
And tonight will be all I have left to recall.
C Am F Em
Oh what have I done, why have I done it,
C Dm G
I've committed a crime, broken the law.
C Am F Em
For twenty five dollars and pieces of silver,
C Dm F G C
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.
C Am F Em
My life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
C Dm G
A scene badly written in which I must play.
C Am F Em
And I know as I gaze at my young love beside me,
C Dm F G C
The morning is just a few hours away.

waiting all my life.

Thinking it over, I've been sad. Thinking it over, I'd be more than

glad to change my ways for the asking. Ask me and I will play all the
C G C G D7 G
love that I hold inside.

Old Friends
Tom: Fmaj7
Intro: Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Famj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 C Am
Old Friends. Old Friends. Sat on their park bench like bookends.
Dm7 G Am
A newspaper blown through the grass falls on the round toes of the
Cmaj F C6
high shoes of the Old Friends.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Old Friends. Winter companions the old men. Lost in their
G7 C Am Dm7 G7 Em7
overcoats waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the city, sifting
Am G F C6
through trees, settle like dust on the shoulder of the Old Friends.
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 F Fm C
Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?
Dm7 Am
How terribly strange to be seventy.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G7
Old Friends. Memory brushes the same years. Silently sharing the
C6 Am
same fears.

Sounds Of Silence
Tom: C
C
Hello darkness my old friend,
F
I've come to talk with you again
Bb Csus
Because a vision softly creeping
Bb Csus
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
Bb Csus
And the vision that was planted in my brain
F C F
Still remains----- within the sounds of silence
C
In restless dreams I walked alone,
F
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Bb Csus
'neath the halo of a streetlamp
Bb Csus
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Bb Csus
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
F C F
Split the night... and touched the sound of silence
C
And in the naked light I saw
F
Ten thousand people maybe more
Bb Csus
People talking without speaking
Bb Csus
People hearing without listening
Bb Csus
Peoplewriting songs that voices never share
F C F
Noone dare, disturb the sound of silence
C
Fools said I you do not know,
F
Silence like a cancer grows,
Bb Csus
Hear my words that I might teach you
Bb Csus
Take my arms that I might reach you
Bb Csus
But my words, like silent raindrops fell...
F C F
And echoed the will of silence
C
And the people bowed and prayed,
F
To the neon god they made
Bb Csus
And the sign flashed out its warning
Bb Csus
In the words that it was forming
Bb
And the sign said, "The words of the prophet
Csus
Are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls
F C F
And whisper the sounds of silence."
**The end of the song contains the same solo as the end of the first verse.

Look around, leaves are brown
