Little Gospel Song
My [F]soul was [Dm]pierced by the [Bb]Lord's blessed [Gm]spear
My [F]eyes were [Gm]blinded by his [C]light
My [F]heart is [Dm]witness to a [Bb]burning [Gm]passion
I [F]am [C]unworthy [Bb]before his [F]sight

[F]Deliver [Dm]me from the [Bb]mouth of [Gm]Satan,
[F]Deliver [Gm]me from that tongue of [C]fire,
[F]Take me [Dm]to your [Bb]holy [Gm]mountain,
[F]Wash me in the [Dm]blood that [Bb]flows from your [F]side,
[F]Wash me in the [Dm]blood that [Bb]flows from your [F]side.

Sailors Arms
I [E]met her at the 'Sailor Arms' A [A]bar down by the docks
Full of [E]prostitutes and deviants And [A]fellas wearing [B7]frocks
Went [E]there to drown my sorrow My misery and [B7]paaaiiiiaaaiiiiaan
With [E]fourteen multicoloured pills And a [A]pint of heavy ale (heavy [C#m] ale)

And I [E]saw this girl across the way Who was [A]smiling through the wine
So I [E]begged her come on over Come on [A]over, spend some [B7]time
And I [E]spilled my life before her And she [A]seemed to understand
Al[E]though she was a girl We were [C#m]talking man to man (man to [A]man)

For [E]love is where you find it Wher[F#m]ever that may be
For [B7]me it was in the Sailors Arms At [E]twenty-five past three
There's [C#m]something strange about her I can't [F#m]put my finger on
But I [A]wanna tell the [B]world That she's the [E]one
I [A]wanna tell the [B]world That she's the [E]one.

She [E]strolled up to the toilets She [A]strolled into the Gents
I [E]asked her why she did it Why she'd [A]gone to pay the [B7]rent
We arm-[E]wrestled and I lost She [A]beat me with a spike
Told me [E]seedy jokes That were [C#m]quite unlady-like (lady [A]like)
It was [E]four in the morning And [A]through the smoky haze
I [E]could've been mistaken But she [C#m]needed to shave

For [E]love is where you find it Wher[F#m]ever that may be
For [B7]me it was in the Sailors Arms with a [E]better man than me
Her [C#m] husky voice seduced me, my [F#m] heart was in a mess
I sat [A]upon her [B]knees something [E]twitched beneath her dress
There’s [A] something more than [B]knees beneath her [E] dress.

You've [E]got nice eyes says I (Oh Sir, I am surprised)
[E]What large hands I said (All the better to touch you with)
[E]God, you arms look strong (A woman's work is never done)
[E]Your legs are quite hirsuite (Aren't you the saucy one!)

I was [E]feeling less than stable When she [A]said her name was Ken
Well [E]if I had suspicions Lord I [A]should've had 'em [B7]then
She [E]cried as she told me How [A]she was so confused
One more [C#m]visit to the doctor She'd have [A] nothing left to lose

I [E]ran my fingers through her wig She lightly stroked my hair
She [E]said she was a man (WHOA, she said she was a man?? A man called Ken bull twang! So what did you say Paul??)
I [C#m]told her I don't care (he doesn’t care, he doesn’t care, he doesn’t care!)

For [E]love is where you find it Wher[F#m]ever that may be
For [B7]me it was in a hopper bin with my [E] trousers ‘round my knees
There's [C#m]something strange about her I just[F#m]put my finger on
And I [A]wanna tell the [B]world That she's the [E]one (he’s the [C#m]one)
I [A]wanna tell the [B]world That it’s the [E]one.

Skinhead Skippy
One day I’ll actually put the chords and words together. But here are the chords:
[B] [D#m] [C#m] [G#m]

Stay Away From The Window
This actually starts on F#m, (making the first line [F#m] [A] [F#m] [E]) but I just can't deal with the second line when in this key there should be a D or a D# or something. (Too much technical stuff for someone whose only music theory comes from year 5 recorder...) Anyway, I've worked it out in the Key of C. If you feel like telling me what that other elusive chord is, I'd be happy to know.

[Am]Watching her graceful [C]transition, the [Am]descent into his [G]bed
[Am]Stinking beneath her [C]watches where he [F]rested 'til dawn cleared the [G]air
[Am]This road runs off to the [C]salt planes, [Am]this road runs to the [G]sea
[Am]A confession dreaming of [C]wounds and my [F]body is [G]unclean
Oh I am [G]dappled and [F]green from the [Am]oceans and [G]seas,
[Am]Coloured the [G]blue of the [F]sky[G]
The [G]blood of red [F]ochre the [Am]hues of the [G]land
But the [Am]candle [G]dwindles and [Am]dies

[C] [Am]Oh, stay [G]away from the [F]window my [G]child,
[Am]Please stay [G]away from the [F]light.
[C] [Am]Oh, stay [G]away from the [F]window my [G]child,
[Am]Please stay [G]away from the [Am]light.

This [Am]night of dark bene[C]dictions, the [Am]enormous drunk gaze of the [G]cross
Who [Am]towers over the [C]churchyard with [F]guards and prayers for the [G]young
[Am]Whose trance has fallen on [C]damp skin, [Am]whose sweat has drowned all the [G]graves
A [Am]black girl from the [C]good book, have I [F]waited too long to be [G]saved?
Oh she's [G]dappled and [F]green from the [Am]oceans and [G]seas,
[Am]Colored the [G]blue of the [F]sky[G]
there's [G]blood on the [F]soil, a [Am]stain on the [G]land
The [Am]rivers now [G]barren and [Am]dry

[C] [Am]Oh, stay [G]away from the [F]window my [G]child,
[Am]Please stay [G]away from the [F]light.
[C] [Am]Oh, stay [G]away from the [F]window my [G]child,
[Am]Please stay [G]away from the [F]light.
[C] [Am]Oh, stay [G]away from the [F]window my [G]child,
[Am]Please stay [G]away from the [Am]light.

Your [Am]barren [G]causes [F]bloodies the [G]doors
the [Am]black [G]procession [F]sweeps
It's [Am]petulant [G]tail through [F]vapors and [G]odours
reach [Am]down to the [G]ocean and [Am]dips
[Am]Pounders through [G]backstreets, [F]weeping and [G]keeping
a [Am]dwindling [G]fire well [F]fed
The [Am]mother of [G]all wars, [F]hunched and on [G]all fours
to [Am]service the [G]stale and the [Am]dead
The [Am]bitch is on [G]heat with an[F]other de[G]feat
and her [Am]bloody [G]river runs [F]red
[C] [Am]Oh, stay [G]away from the [F]window my [G]child,
[Am]Please stay [G]away from the [F]light.
[C] [Am]Oh, stay [G]away from the [F]window my [G]child,
[Am]Please stay [G]away from the [Am]light.

Sunday Morning
I don’t think I have this quite right, but it’s not too bad, and people have been asking for it…
If you have trouble with playing in the key of F; if you don’t like bar chords very much, do this substitute:
[F] = [G], [Bb] = [C], [Dm] = [Em], [Gm] = [Am] [C] = [D]

The xylophone at the start goes:
F A C F C A F Bb D F Bb

If you want to play this bit on the guitar, try:
E-------------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------
D-----3--------------------3---------------------------
G--------2-------------2-------3----------3-----------
B------------1------1--------------3-------------------
E----------------1---------------------1---------------
