HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN
This is the best I can do so far. The chords for the extended chorus at the
end are possibly wrong - If anyone finds something wrong, tell me - I
want to play it right too. As far as the 'solo'(if thats what you'd call it)
goes, don't hasle too much about the D note running through it. If you're
playing in a group, it won't be missed (in fact, I don't think TOSAW worry
about it much when they play it live anyway). Otherwise you can just get the
bass to play - probably best.

more as a ghost note than anything - add it in here and there

During singing, the G chord is played in an arpegio fashion,
during the viola part it's strummed. I'm not a great fan of
this song, so I haven't put too much work into transcribing it
- sorry if you do like it.
Well I wander round this mind amidst the
SOLRuins of a lonely child,

every time. The chords during the verses etc. are played in the same general

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HELEN
This is the best I can do so far.
..The chords for the extended
..chorus at the
end are possibly wrong - If anyone
..finds something wrong, tell me -
..I
want to play it right too. As far
..as the 'solo'(if thats what
..you'd call it)
goes, don't hasle too much about
..the D note running through it.
..If you're
playing in a group, it won't be
..missed (in fact, I don't think
..TOSAW worry
about it much when they play it
..live anyway). Otherwise you can

bass to play - probably best.

..it out.
P - Pull off

/ - slide up
SOL5
Across this land everybody settled
..down
LAmTo a night of fitful dreams
DOAnd strange apparitions
As we tossed and turned we saw
DOsus9..ourselves exactly as we are
LAm DOAnd not surprisingly we found it
..frightening
SOL5 DOsus9 LAm
Hey!
DO
SOL5
Well you don't choose the place or
..choose the time
DOsus9But history's a slippery slide
Be careful of those nasty drops
DO..down to the right
SOL5When your hit it must seem a
..pretty good choice
DOsus9For they give all of our malice
..voice
LAm DOWhat do we expect if we won't open
..our arms
G5(?)
.. Csus9(?)
(Singin' Hey) We're all just
..earings to the left of our
..parents
LAm DOThey're all just haircuts to the
..left of theirs
SOL5And we all wonder
DOsus9"Why do nazis grow like
..wildflowers!"
(Hey!) Helen let's ditch the car
..let's hide
We'll through seeds of doubt at
..passersby
They will cross onto our side,
DOWe'll sing our songs into the
..night
SOL5As we cast off all those strange
..facades
DOsus9We'll see that we're all uniquely
..scarred
LAmBy the same hand
DOBeneath the same smile
SOL5
(Singin' Hey) We're all just
..earings to the left of our
..parents
They're all just haircuts to the
..left of theirs
And we all wonder
DOsus9"Why do nazis grow like
..wildflowers!"
SOL5
Everybody dreams the same visions
..in the end
LAm DOI know, everybody feels trapped
..and tired
SOL5So if you see a strange door to
..your right
DOThen drop your things and run for
..it
SOL5
(Singin' Hey) We're all just
..earings to the left of our
..parents
They're all just haircuts to the
..left of theirs
And we all wonder
DOsus9"Why do nazis grow like
..wildflowers!"
"Why do nazis grow like
..wildflowers!"
SOL5 DOsus9 LAm DO
With the frost of the
..winter
With the mist from a wave
DOsus9 SOLSOL DO
With the dust of the
..wasteland
LAm SOLYeah, I will bathe myself
Spirit who won't believe
LAmIn the wind that has
SOL DOsus9 SOL..blessed him
In the wind that has
..billowed
His lung full of song
Across the grain, I'll
LAm DO..find my way
DOFrom the rock down to the
..sea
DO SOL LAmAnd there I pray, my ash
DO..will rest
With the waters fury ....
[Instrumental - same chords as
..verse's]
DO SOL
Across the grain, I'll
..find my way
DOFrom the rock down to the
SOL..sea
And there I pray, my ash
DO..will rest
DOWith the waters fury I
..shout to the night
Please let tomorrows sun
SOL5..come shine on me
A brand new day ....
Everything I think will be
LAm..sweet
Everything I think will be
..loving
DOAnd every word I speak
LAm..will be true
And everything I think
SOL SOL..will be holy
DO
And this hand could hurt
LAm SOLWill sketch out my love
..for her
DOOn her back while she
..sleeps
LAmWhile the morning wispers
..of
SOLEvery single sacred life
..in the world
Across the grain, I'll
LAm DO..find my way
DOFrom the rock down to the
..sea
DO SOL LAmAnd there I pray, my ash
DO..will rest
With the waters fury ....
..Hey.....
DO SOL
Across the grain, I'll
..find my way
DOFrom the rock down to the
SOL..sea
And there I pray, my ash
DO..will rest

Timing: 4/4
SOL
When he was young he walked with
..such gentle steps
SOL DOWhile leaving no trace he thought
..he was blessed
SOL DOHe said, "I won't do any harm"
SOL SOL
His dreams they were filled with
DO..the forgiveness of spring
SOL DOHe thanked the sky for any gift
He said, "I won't do any harm
..here"
LAm
But he heard whispers as he walked
..past the fake gold lights
SOL"You must cheat to succeed there
DO..my naive child"
As he surrended he thought he did
DO..so too easily
SOLFrankie cried at his very first
..lie
SOL DO SOL DO
SOL DO
The lie it was simple and it's
..produce was great
SOL DOGuilt twisted it's fingers around
..his heart
SOL DOHe said "I did not mean any harm"
SOL
But soon ambition replaced all the
DO..love he had known
The spring wasn't rebirth but
..prosperity now
He said "I've not done many things
..wrong"
LAm
But he heard whispers as he walked
..past the fake gold lights
SOL DO"You must steal to stay here my
..angry young man"
LAmHe said "I shan't be robbed of my
DO..labour's toil"
And he did not feel at his
..hundredth evil
SOL DO SOL DO
Now he hears condemnation in the
..winds as they creep
In through the walls of this
..castle he's built
He says "You can't touch me any
DO SOL SOL..more"
SOLBut the cold and the hate they're
..just one in his bones
SOLThe sweet dreams of the young make
DO..him angrier still
He cautions "When you've done what
DO..I've done you will think what I
..think"
LAm
But he hears whispers as he walked
DO..past the fake gold lights
"You must kill to stay here my
..angry old man"
And he looks out with scorn at his
DO..colourless world
SOL DOFrankie grins at his millionth sin
Frankie cried at his very first
..lie
And he did not feel at his
..hundredth evil
Now Frankie grins at his millionth
DO DO SOL..sin
