RAIL - (Lyrics Carolyn V. Mill / Music Reid Jamieson)
Em G C Am
Put your ear to the rail, you can hear my love come down
Em G C Am
Where hearts and heroes fail, I won’t be turned around
Am G
Sleepwalking these rails, I let the grass grow long
C Am
Oh my memory fails, and I forgot my song
Em G
Blackberries grow wild, smell of pitch in the sun
C Am
Weeds roll over my mind, and they almost won
Em G
But I said no more, no more, no more,
C Am
no more, no more, no more, no more
Put your ear to the rail, you can hear my love come down
Where hearts and heroes fail, I won’t be turned around
INSTRUMENTAL SECTION: C D C D C D Em C Em C
Tearing up these weeds, blow the smoke in my stack
Sound of steel on steel, and there’s no going back
I got a head full of coal, hear the lightning crack
Light a fire in my soul, and get me back on track
Put your ear to the rail, you can hear my love come down
Where hearts and heroes fail, I won’t be turned around
No more driving this blind, time to throw that switch
Drives a spike in my mind, and makes my fingers itch
You better get on board, or get out of my way
Hauling heavy and slow, but I’m leaving today…
And I said no more, no more, no more,
no more, no more, no more, no more, no more
And I know that I’ve been here before,
And it’s taken its toll on me
But I’m not giving up anymore,
No I’m not giving up on me… (INSTRUMENTAL SECTION CHORDS)
THE UNAVOIDABLE TRUTH

Holding Out Reid Jamieson/Josh Finlayson
Bm G Bm G Bm
Bm G
You called to reconcile.
Bm D A Bm
The time that's passed us by again.
G
Although I'm not on trial.
F#m Em A D
I've missed your laughing smile.
Bm G
The years have been unkind.
Bm D A Bm
The loneliness of being wrong.
Bm G F#m Em A
And with this loss of time a voice broke into song...
D C G A
If holding out means no one wins.
D C G A Em
Then hanging on is where we’ll begin again.
Bm G
This sorrow weighs me down.
Bm D A Bm
The loss of friends, the loss of life.
Bm G F#m Em A
Can it be turned around? Can we make good in time?
D C G A
If holding out means no one wins
D C G A
Then hanging on is where we'll begin.
D C G A
The love we gave, the faith we lost.
D C G A Em
In time we'll learn how much it cost us now.
Em A C
If leaving is all we have.
C G A
I'd go given half the chance
Em A Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm
Only to run right out of room...
End of the world small talk Reid Jamieson
D F#7
A crowded room, a crowded head
G B7
Amidst the frowns I smile instead
Em A D
But no one understands what I say
D F#7
It may be black, it could be blue
G B7
It may come from the heart of you
Em A D
But no one understands what you say
D G Em A
Please don’t ignore your pain
D G Em A G A D
Please put it on your face, so I can kiss it away
D F#7
I don’t know you very well
G B7
But you’ve got secrets I can tell
Em A D
Your eyes are searching for an exit
D F#7
All the pleasure in the world
G B7
Couldn’t keep your flag unfurled
Em A D
And we’re still standing in the darkness
D G Em A
Please don’t ignore your pain
D G Em A G A
Please put it on your face, so I can kiss it
G A G A D F#7 G B7 Em A D
So I can kiss it, so I can kiss it away
Paperback fantasy Reid Jamieson
E A E
Here is a story that I used to know
A E B
It’s filled with a sorrow but will rise above any ill feelings
E A E
It started and ended and it taught me well
A E
How many pages went by wishing they
B A E
Were not unconscious or unclear, I lost my count
Fm E Fm
All this truth, just a fairytale in paperback
E A E
I’ll speak to you slowly; I’ll pronounce my doubts
A E B
Listen for hopefulness in the grammar and proofread my folly
E A E
Tenderly press back on my dog-eared page
E
Words can only hope
A E B A
To express the ageless wisdom printed on my face, it’s hidden well
Fm E Fm Am B
All this truth, just a fairytale in paperback, so you can fit it in your pocket
Instrumental verse
E A E
Where did I lose you? Maybe chapter one?
A E B
It’s only in hindsight should have kept our reading glasses on
A E
The pages blurred, we lost our count
A
That was a story that I used to love
Common problems Reid Jamieson/Carolyn Mill
D G
We spend ourselves learning to speak
D G
the silent movie of the weak
D Em Bm Am
A quiet tongue betrays, belies, and grows in size
D G D G
Have patterns melted all the words
D G
so often said but rarely heard
D Em
The inner wealth, the outer shell,
Bm Am Bm D
to break this spell we change ourselves
D Bm G, Em,
Throw away all your defenses;
D Bm G, A
talk them out these common problems
D Bm G, Em, G A D, G, D, G
Tear them down these walls and fences,
G A D, G, D, G
smaller than you think they are.
D G D G
You can’t belittle the unknown, a work of art without a home
D Em Bm Am
Habits in place, a mood enslaved, a passive face
D G D G
And stubborn pride will always fail and lead to silence untold tales
D Em
Believe the smallest words can change,
Bm Am Bm D
turn blinded ways to brighter days
D Bm G, Em, D Bm G, A
Throw away all your defenses; talk them out these common problems
D Bm G, Em, G A
Tear them down these walls and fences, smaller than you think they are.
G A G A
Half as anguished, half as far, a shared disaster teaches when,
G A D, G, D, G, D
An open mind and mouth begin
Starting To Learn Reid Jamieson
E A
Tell me, how to understand it.
E B7 A
Feelings, that come to stay sometimes inside.
E E7 A Am
The places I never seem to know enough about.
E Bm E
But I'm starting to learn somehow.
E A
Fail me, it wouldn't be the first time.
E B7 A
Promises turned into maybe knots.
E E7 A Am
But the knowledge that maybe it's not under my control.
E Bm E Bm Cm
And I'm starting to learn somehow.
C#m G#m B E A Bm Cm
Anything stings my heart, in wintertime, or anytime.
C#M G#m B7
Pardon my shameless words.
Am E Bm E
They speak what seems to be true, Now how could it be true?
Bm E Bm E Bm
Where is the proof? It's under our control. It's under our...
E A
Tell me how you felt before I.
E B7 A
Let my heart bleed onto your path again.
E E7
Cause I've been waiting, what seems forever,
A Am
Time and I have fought.
E Bm E
But I'm starting to learn somehow
Bm E Bm C B7 E A B7 E
To learn somehow. To learn...

Tryin' to Get to You

I've been traveling over mountains, Even through the valleys, too

I've been traveling night and day, I've been running all the way

Well, there's nothing that could hold me, or that could keep me away from you

Oh boy, what a baby.
