Funk #49
(Joe Walsh/Dale Peters/James Fox)

Sleep all day, out all night
I know where you're goin'
I don't think that's actin' right
You don't think it's showin'


Jumpin' up, fallin' down
Don't misunderstand me
You don't think that I know your plan
What you try'n ta hand me?


Out all night, sleep all day
I know what you're doin'
If you're gonna act that way
I think there's trouble brewin'

Woman
(Joe Walsh/Dale Peters/James Fox)

Woman!

I've been hearin' 'bout the things you say
Woman, yeah
I don't want you talkin' that way
Wanna take you home, give you some money
Every time I try, you think that it's funny
Woman, yeah
I don't want you talkin' that way
Don't want to break you
I just want to make it, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, hey

Woman
Oh, how about you and me?
Woman
Think about what it could be
Wanna take you home, do things to you
Every time I try, you just think that I'm foolin'
Woman, woah
How about you and me?
Don't wanna break you
I just want to make you, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on, do it for me once!


(Solo)

Oh, woman, yeah
I don't want you to act so bad
Woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're the best thing I ever had
Wanna take you home, spend my time with you
You see it, babe, it's clear that I miss you

Woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want you to act so bad
I don't wanna break you
I just wanna make it, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, ah, ah, ah woman
Why do you, why do you act that way?
Woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
You know what?
Ah, good God!
Ya know what?
Aw, get it on!


The Bomber (Medley)
(Joe Walsh/Dale Peters/James Fox)

When I became of age my mama sat me down
Said "Son, you're growin' up, it's time you looked around"
So I began to notice some things I hadn't seen before
That's what brought me here knockin' on your back door
Oh, yeah


A closet queen, the bus stop's dream, she wants to shake my hand
I don't want to be there, she decides she can
It's Apple Dan, he's just the man to pick fruit off your branches
I can't sleep, and we can't keep this cattle on my ranches
Oh, yeah


It's too strong, something's wrong and I guess I lost the feelin'
I don't mind the games you play, but I don't like your dealin'
God looked bad, the luck's been had and there's nothin' left to smoke
Will I be back tomorrow for the punchline of the joke?



Tend My Garden
(Joe Walsh)

Would you like to come home with me?
I can think of things to show ya
Thinkin' that I'd like to know ya, uh
Mornin' milkman's comin'
Get up, greet my day
Evenin' brings the sun in
Still I find my way


Change of plans, makin' a landin' to see ya
And I do wanna be your man, oh, yeah
Sunday, highway drivin'
It all looks about the same
Nowhere, just arrivin'
Still I play the game


I'm home grown, growin' my own and I need ya
Need ya to beg my pardon, to tend my garden
Flowers, she's sittin' for poses
She wants me to sing my song
Hours, she's like a stoned Moses
Guess I'll sing along



Garden Gate
(Joe Walsh)

Well I’m sitting in the middle of a story
Would you like to read my line
Sipping on a morning glory
Would you like to taste my wine
Don’t forget to tell the sun
I sleep through the day
See him when the morning comes
Everything’s OK


The captain’s in the chartroom
Navigating on a star
Can’t know where we’re going
'Cause he don’t know where we are
Don’t you think I don’t know
How to tell the time
Can’t you see you can’t sell me
Something that is mine


You just sit to talking
And I’m sure there’s nothing said
Your book is lying open
And I don’t think much is read
The dog is outside barking
At something he can’t see
The garden gate is closing



There I Go Again
(Joe Walsh)

Hey‚ ooh‚ what’ll I do
Looks like it’s the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
There I go again


You know I hate to lose her
The good thing that I had
I would rather lose her
Then watch it all go bad
I guess I’ll just go on ahead
There’s still some things to come
Yes‚ things are pretty much said
Back where I came from


Hey‚ ooh‚ what’ll I do
Looks like it’s the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
There I go again


It may be that I found my way
And not see her again
Tomorrow is a brighter day
Why should I pretend
I know I won’t see her again
We’ve gone our separate ways
Making love every now and then
I don’t have much to say


Hey‚ ooh‚ what’ll I do
Looks like it’s the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
There I go again
Hey‚ ooh‚ what’ll I do
Looks like it’s the end
Ooh‚ hey‚ could you please stay
There I go again


Thanks
(Joe Walsh)

Thanks to the hand that feed you
Give the dog a bone
Thanks to the man that gives you
Haven't got your own

That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah

Yes to the man above you
Hope you pass the test
No to the man below you
Leave him with the rest

That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man, yeah, oh, yeah

Everybody knows, everybody goes
To make a buck today
But that ain't the way it should be
It's changin' every way, yeah

Thanks to them that feed you
Give the dog a bone
Thanks to them that give you
You haven't got your own

That's the way the world is
Get just what you can
Wake up again tomorrow
A little less a man
Yeah, oh, yeah, mmm....




Ashes The Rain And I
(Joe Walsh/Dale Peters)

Lead Tab | Rhythm Tab

Sometimes I sit and I stare at the rain
Isn't rain filled with sorrow?
Wonder if I'll see my home again
Will it be dry tomorrow?
Time passes softly and I'm a day older
But still I m living days gone by
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I
