Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show

 AAB
    It's astounding; time is fleeting
 GDAB
 madness   takes its toll.  But listen closely - not for very much longer -
 GDA
 I've got to - keep control.
 BGDA
I remember - doing the Time Warp   Drinking   those moments when
 B
the blackness would hit me - and the void would be calling....
 FCGDA
 Let's do the Time Warp again!  (x2)
(N.C) E A
It's just a jump to the left - and then a step to the ri-ight
 EA
With your hands on your hips - you bring your knees in tight
 DA
But it's the pelvic thrust - that really drives you insa-ane
Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2, chords as above)
 ABGDA
It's so dreamy - oh fantasy free me! So you can't see me - no not at all.
 B
In another dimension, with voyeuristic inten-tion,
 GDA
Well secluded   I'll see all.
 B
With a bit of a mind flip - you're into the time slip
 GDA
 Nothing can ever be the same
 B
You're spaced out on sensation - like you're under sedation!
Let's do the Time Warp again! (x2, chords above)
Well I was tapping down the street just-a having a think
 A7D
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink, well it shook me up,
 A
it took me by surprise, he had a pick-up truck and the devil's eyes,
 EDA
He stared at me and I felt a change, Time meant nothing never would again.
Let's do the Time Warp Again (x2)
It's just a jump to the left...

This Side of the Blue - Joanna Newsom



D
Svetlana sucks lemons across from me
D      G      A
And I am progressing abominably
A        G              D
And I do not know my own way to the sea
D   G         A   D
But the saltiest sea knows its own way to me

And the city that turns, turns protracted and slow
And I find myself toeing the embarcadero
And I find myself knowing the things that I knew
Which is all that you can know on this side of the blue

And Jaime has eyes black and shiny as boots
And they march at you two-by-two(-re-loo-re-loo)
When she looks at you, you know that she's nowhere near through
It's the kindest heart beating this side of the blue

And Gabriel stands beneath forest and moon
See them rattle and boo, and see them shake, see them loom
See him fashion a cap from a page of Camus
And see him navigate deftly this side of the blue

And the signifieds butt heads with the signifiers
And we all fall down slack-jawed to marvel at words
When across the sky sheet the impossible birds
In a steady illiterate movement homewards

And the rest of our lives will the moments accrue
When the shape of their goneness will flare up anew
Then we do what we have to do(-re-loo-re-loo)
Which is all that you can do on this side of the blue

Ot it's all that you can do on this side of the blue
Oh it's all that you can do on this side of the blue
